Summary
The war is over, and Harry Potter is dead. When Death offers him a chance to go back to the summer before his first year, he takes it. Armed with painful foreknowledge, Harry sets out to dismantle his future before it can begin, claiming a heritage he never knew and forging alliances in the shadows. But this time, the war isn't just against Voldemort. It's a quieter, more treacherous battle against the manipulations of Albus Dumbledore and the Wizard society as a whole. It’s about the discovery of a reluctant, Bat-like guardian, and the unexpected pull of a quiet Slytherin boy who sees the soldier behind the savior's green eyes.

Summary
Certain that he’d been about to die, Harry is mystified to find himself alive and healthy, and somehow in 1981 rather than 1996. Disillusioned to Dumbledore’s meddling in his life, when he discovers his fifteen-month-old self in a basket on the Dursleys’ doorstep, Harry does the only thing he can. He takes the child with him.

Summary
Harry Potter returns for his fifth year at Hogwarts amidst an increasingly unstable political situation. And this year, for the first time, Hogwarts is no longer firmly under Albus Dumbledore's control. Threats inside and outside the school put pressure on some of Harry's closest friendships, and power struggles lie beneath the surface of every faction in the brewing conflict. At its center is the Potter family, and Harry's position is more critical, and more precarious, than ever.

28 Aug 2018

Summary
Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Three (Harry Potter and the Death Eater Menace) starts on 9/1/16. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

Summary
In which the Sorting is less of a choice between Dark and Light and more of a fashion statement, Gryffindors are more than reckless, bumbling fools, and Slytherins aren't the only ones playing politics.
Because you didn't actually believe that life is so straightforward as to be defined solely by the colour of a tie, did you? Hidden in plain sight, in the one house they least expected, Harry Potter becomes what he was always meant to be.
Hogwarts beware, the Dark Lord's equal is rising!

Summary
Amarylis is sick and tired of the way that she's treated by the people she's supposed to save. Making sure that she can get away from the Dursleys, she arrives at Gringotts without supervision for a change. The goblins take her away to a separate room where more than a few things are cleared up. That is, until they give her a contract made by her ancestors that stipulates she needed to marry and provide an heir to protect the line for dying out. That wasn't the worst part, the problem was the other family that had signed the contract – Slytherin. Would this be her chance to get away from it all, or would she be bound to someone else all the same?

Ch 25. I love this fic. BUT it has more chapters on ff and several readers over there say that the writer starts using LLMs in the later chapters. Frankly I peeked ahead and... yeah it's a definite quality downer. Sounds like they are just keeping up for patreon. Ew.

Cut the Strings Free the Boy by dewystarsofthevalley
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
15 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
It was without known cause or intervention that Harry Potter awoke in the cupboard under the stairs of Number 4 Privet Drive the morning after finally defeating his lifelong foe. The last thing he remembered was succumbing to the exhaustion of the Battle of Hogwarts on a blanket in a corner of the castle somewhere after hours of mourning. And now here he was, seemingly in his relatives house with the early morning light that stretched from the front door down the hall to peek through the grate and under the slat of the door to his cupboard under the stairs.

The Prince of Slytherin by TheSinister_Man
Fandom: Harry Potter - Fandom, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Mar 2025
Summary
Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the Boy Who Lived. This will not be the story you expect; follow Harry through a changed world as he learns of a world that was hidden from him, battles prophecies kept from him, and finds a place in it all despite adversity.
Year Four (Harry Black and the Resurrection Game) is currently ongoing. No romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys, with limited bashing (mainly of James). Eldritch magic, and occasional breaks from canon - always with a purpose.

Harry Potter and the Rotfang Conspiracy by SmuttyPlotWizard

27 Oct 2023

Summary
In canon, at the end of Book 5 Harry blames Snape and Dumbledore for Sirius' death, but by the start of Book 6 he inexplicably forgets all about that. In this story he doesn't forget, and events take a very different turn. Harry decides that Dumbledore is part of the problem, not part of the solution. He seeks out a new and potentially more useful ally - Rufus Scrimgeour, the new Minister for Magic. How will that decision change things? And how will a hormonal teenage Harry adjust to sharing a room with Auror Tonks, the extremely hot bodyguard that Scrimgeour assigns to him? Independent!Harry. Proactive!Harry.
An occasionally X-rated (NC17-rated in the US) novel-length Honks re-write of Half-Blood Prince that’s about 80% plot, 10% humour and 10% smut. The smut doesn’t really take off until Chapter 7. Just to be clear, the smut in this story is very smutty. If you don’t like smut this story is not for you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Of the 440,000+ Harry Potter fanfics on AO3 this story is in the top 1000 (by kudos)! Of those that don't involve slash it's in the top 100!
Thank you to everyone who hit the kudos button. You guys rock!

Summary
When Harry was 6 he met an adult that cared and tried to help him.
The dark men told little Harry that he is special, and people would want to use him because of that so he should be careful. He tried to teach him with the little short time he had, but he remembered that Harry was only 6. The dark men couldn’t stay to long because it was dangerous, but he did everything he could to give little Harry the tools so that he could help himself.
At the end of the day, that was all the little Harry needed…
