Summary
March 1984. Walburga Black sits alone in Grimmauld Place, accompanied only by her ghosts, a broken woman with little left to live for. The House of Black lays in ruins, it's members scattered, awaiting its inevitable demise. Until, one day, a Ministry owl comes tapping at her window, bearing news that offers a last chance to change the course of her life - and the fate of the Black family.
Seizing the opportunity to free her son from Azkaban and secure him the trial he was denied, Walburga quickly finds out that three years in prison has done little to quell Sirius Black's rebellious spirit, and it is soon clear that he is not going to simply follow the plans she has so carefully laid out for him.
As the impending trial approaches, both Sirius and Walburga must grapple with their broken relationship and stormy past - and Sirius himself must decide whether he will seize the chance of the freedom offered to him, or whether he will send himself back to Azkaban for the punishment he is so convinced he deserves...
My take on the "Walburga gets Sirius out of Azkaban" scenario.

Summary
Most likely, Harry knew, it was just that he was difficult to relate to. A piece of him here and there might resonate with someone else. He, Ron, and Hermione shared many pieces. He and Ginny shared the rest. But no whole person had quite managed to resonate with all of him.
Hell, he'd died before. No one living could understand that.

Summary
At the age of four, Harry decides anywhere else is better than life with the Dursleys. Running away in the quiet of night, slipping through loopholes in his magical protection, he finds himself the ward of a nomadic curse breaker. For five years, he sees and learns more than he ever could have dreamed of, gaining a true love of independence.
But when Remus Lupin stumbles upon his best friends’ son in very much the wrong country, he drags Harry back to England, threatening his freedom and forcing them both to change their ideas of home and family.

Summary
Harry's fourth school year is more exciting then ever: After the excitement of the Quidditch World Cup, Hogwarts is to host the famous Tri-Wizard-Tournament (which Harry definitely won't take part in, no thank you - not even if he was allowed to!) and a new and very creepy teacher is teaching DADA. Sirius won't do the smart thing and just stay away, so Harry recruits help from unexpected sources. Tom also has some interesting projects going, first and foremost learning how to enter Hermione's mind. But of course, there are evil forces at work that just won't let Harry and Tom have a nice and quiet school year and focus on academics. More Horcruxes turn up unexpectedly and give Tom a hard time, and to make matters worse, Voldemort thinks this is a good time to return to power. There's really no rest for the wicked!

Summary
Seven months into Severus Snape's term as Headmaster, he finally perfects a potion that could change the war for the better… or destroy everything Dumbledore set in motion before his death.
Dumbledore is dead, and his plans seem to be falling apart before Severus' eyes. Harry Potter and his friends are no closer to finding and destroying the Horcruxes, and Voldemort's hold over the wizarding world is growing. Severus Snape desperately creates a potion that can send him back five years into the past. Hopefully, with more time, he can find the Horcruxes, find a way to save Harry from the Horcrux inside him and maybe even save some of his other students along the way.
Or he could fail and doom them all.

Please see series notes for a more complete synopsis and an update on the rating.
TW for the series: As of Chapter 86 in December 2023, the rating for this fic has been updated to M from T. For the last half of this story, there have been more and more fight scenes and deaths, and I have felt like I have been toeing the line, so finally increased the rating. All problematic scenes have TW at the start of the chapter so the reader can skip scenes if they wish.Series
