Summary
Before his death, Dumbledore gave Severus a gift—an exit plan. And Severus, despite his lack of trust in the man, accepted it. Not out of hope or desire or anything equally foolish, but because he had nothing left to lose but his life. Because he was desperate—as Dumbledore knew he would be.
Only, Severus hadn’t expected what Dumbledore had waiting for him on the other side.

Summary
Vittoria Caelum was born into legend before she ever took her first breath. The last living heir of the ancient and powerful Caelum family — revered and feared across the wizarding world — she carries a legacy wrapped in mystery and shadows. Even she doesn’t fully understand her origins; whispers follow her everywhere, laced with awe, suspicion, fear or anger. In a world where bloodlines still hold weight, being a Caelum means living beneath a spotlight she never asked for.
But it isn’t just her name that draws speculation. Marked by a prophecy made before she was born, Vittoria is fated for more than surviving the scrutiny of the magical world, she’s destined to save it. The prophecy promises a battle between light and darkness, life and death, and gives her soul an expiration date. Her existence is a countdown.
Yet Fate, in all its strange cruelty, gave her a sliver of hope: A boy as stubborn as he was brave, who crashed into her life like a storm and refused to let her face death without a fight. He loved her with a ferocity that burned in his soul, and he would tear through heaven and hell before letting the world take her from him.

Summary
Diana Fawley is many things. A pureblood, an explorer, a scholar, and a young woman with a strong sense of integrity. She's also grieving, confused, and searching for happiness wherever she can find it. Accepting the interim Ancient Runes position at Hogwarts, she hopes to get closer to her godson Harry Potter. But everything gets complicated when her ex-boyfriend escapes from Azkaban to hunt Harry down, and dark wizards begin targeting her for the ancient knowledge she’s spent years uncovering. As the threats against her grow, Diana finds herself forced to rely on Severus Snape, who used to be a good friend before he turned to the dark side. And why does she suddenly find herself not trusting Dumbledore as much as she used to?
This story will follow Diana's journey from Prisoner of Azkaban all the way to Deathly Hallows. It will mostly stick to cannon, but some of the events are going to be different, not only because they're from an adult's perspective, but also because Diana's own choices undoubtedly will affect how everything plays out.
There will be flashbacks to the Marauder's Era, there will be shenanigans, and there will be magic.

After... reluctantly... making new friends, he lived in a hotel for three months, was pushed into counseling by month six, and eventually found a home of his own. He found himself a year later, even having some fun at a Halloween party.
Meanwhile, Godric's Hollow blazed with the sight of green, and two men fled with a sobbing child in their arms...

What if Peter Pettigrew had been caught?
What if Sirius Black never went to Azkaban?In a single split-second decision, the course of the wizarding world changes. Instead of prison, Sirius Black finds himself raising Harry James Potter—alongside Remus Lupin and, through reluctant necessity (and fate), Severus Snape.
Three men. One child. And a life shaped not by prophecy, but by choice.
Raised with as many last names as parents, Harry grows up loved—fiercely, if not always gently. Trained in magic, politics, memory, and legacy, he learns that to love is not to shield, but to prepare. He isn’t hidden from the dark—he’s taught how to walk through it.
Part I: A childhood of broken men, healing bonds, and quiet resilience. (Chapters 1–28 | 221k words)
Part II: Slytherin Harry at Hogwarts. Ambitious, kind, loyal to a fault, and destined to surprise them all. (Ongoing)Not the Boy Who Lived they expected. And perhaps something more powerful: a boy who was loved.

Summary
He was the last hope, the fragile flicker of light under the wizarding world’s watchful gaze, and he prayed as much as they did that it wouldn't burn out. He wasn’t on a hero’s journey, he was running a race where right and wrong blurred, morality becomes questionable, and he learns just how damaging horcruxes can be to one’s soul. He has two friends, half a plan, and an immeasurable amount of spite to run on. War is ruthless, unforgiving, and baring its teeth at those in its way. But so is he.
or a rewrite of the deathly hallows with missing scenes, extra feels, and more story than we got to see

Summary
The war ended five years ago, and apparently if Hermione wants to get anything done she needs to marry into a Wizengamot seat. Draco Malfoy is next on her (alphabetized) list of options. No, of course her new project isn't a coping mechanism. Why do you ask?

Summary
Harry Potter had lived as a shell of a person ever since he arrived that faithful night as an orphan on the Dursley family's doorstep. A child that never laughed, never cried, and never wanted to. He went to school, did his chores, and went back to the safety of his cupboard. He had no friends, a family who never wanted him, and no emotions to really care about it all. The only thing with substance in his life were the glimpses of gold behind his eyes when the night became too dark, and the sounds of faint laughter ringing out when his cupboard was too silent. He lived for these moments, as they were the only light in his life. That all changed on the eve of his 7th birthday . . .
