Summary
The story of how the infamous Horcrux diary ended up in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in the wrong way—and it led to the right consequences.
=>>What? A proper old‑school romp in fanfic trappings. Scratch the surface and you’ll find social speculative fiction, a coming‑of‑age tale, a psychological thriller, and a good deal else.
=>>Who? Readers who’ve had their fill of harems, secret legacies and overpowered heroes, and want some solid storytelling with soft humor, fully realised characters and plot.
=>>Who won’t it suit? Anyone on the hunt for the ‘steamy stuff.’ There’s none of that here—absolutely none. Sorry.
~Really, though, it’s just a story for people who love magic with all their heart. -

What would you do to protect the ones you love? -

Summary
Four year old Harry Potter has it rough at the Dursleys. Vernon has got ever more brutal as Harry has got older, he lives worse than a neglected house elf. After one particularly brutal beating, Harry’s magic tries to save him, and he unintentionally conjures a patronus charm. This finds its way to one moody potions master- who quickly realises nobody else will do what he has been asked to do. This leaves Severus tasked with pulling them both from the grips of Dumbledore and his intricate plans- whilst finding his way with a troubled little boy who can't help but steal his heart.
(updated regularly from 09/25. This was an old fic I wrote as a teenager, and I have fully re-worked the beginning, allowing me to continue the story. If you are an old reader, and it isn't quite as you remember it, this is why! Hope you enjoy:) )

Summary
Ruth has never been an ordinary girl, even if Samuel wants her to believe otherwise. She lives with her fellow orphans at Ashbrook End, where everyone views her as blessed, or cursed. Then Ruth's life is changed forever when she leaves behind her past, going with a man she at first mistakes for Death. She is enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The reason: Ruth is a Witch.
***
Contemporaneous with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Lex follows Ruth, an orphan who is admitted into Hogwarts at the same time as the famous Harry Potter. Focuses on the Slytherin side of things. Will be increasingly divergent from canon as the series goes on.

Weighing of the Wands: The Stone Beyond Desire by Scyldwyn
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Theodore Reid never considered himself 'special'. Not by any means.
Why would he, either? Just your average kid taking one day at a time like anybody else. What was strange is that as mild tempered as the boy was, trouble always seemed to draw near.
Alex Carter on the other hand knew exactly why. He just didn't know Theo well enough yet. Not that living amongst a magical family didn't help.
When two unlikely schoolmates join forces as friends, they quickly discover that being a wizard wasn't easy, like Alex had thought, nor as grand and special as Theo had.
Something dark lurks within this world of theirs, and with Voldemort defeated, who is to blame? Professor Snape, the teacher from hell? The Malfoys, a revered family with a reputation? Or perhaps Dumbledore himself, in his infinite wisdom and seemingly limitless power?
Join Alex & Theo as they join forces with familiar faces to discover what it means to be a wizard in your own right.
(I have six years ready of a planned eight! Sit back and enjoy the ride!)

Summary
Harry Potter was known as the Chosen One, as the Boy-who-lived and the Saviour of the wizarding kind. But many forgot that he was just a boy as well. A boy who was abused and used as a pawn by those in power. A symbol and martyr for the light. A boy who wants to feel loved and have a family.
Hermione Ganger is Harry Potters best friend, his sister. To him at least. She is as much a pawn as he is in the games of their headmaster and enemies. But in truth she is a girl who doesn’t know who she is. Who has spent so long trying to be perfect she doesn’t know who she wants to be.
When Magick and Death intervene, because they had enough of those children’s suffering, their situation becomes complicated. Sent back in time they will have to find each other and fight for a better future. Of course they won’t be alone. With their knowledge of the future they free important figures that will help them build their influence. Who will protect them from their enemies. And if they gain a family, who will burn down the world for them, along the way? That’s just positive side effects.

Summary
In a world where Voldemort won, wizarding Britain has sunk into darkness. Muggles are oppressed, blood purity reigns, and Neville Longbottom is dead, leaving a nameless Harry Potter, raised as a "freak" in the cupboard under the Dursleys' stairs, completely ignorant of his own legacy.
At nearly eleven years old, Harry cannot read or write. Until, one night, two men appear on Privet Drive: Sirius Black, his godfather, freshly freed from an unjust imprisonment in Azkaban, and Severus Snape, his father's former enemy, bound by a oath.

Summary
It wasn’t meant to be a story. Not really.
Just a stack of scrappy entries and half-biased complaints, a few unsolicited drawings from Charlie, and ink-stained proof that being the eldest of five Weasleys is awful — just wait till the sixth rolls out.
Told through Bill’s wry, rambling, and sometimes painfully honest diary entries, the journal accidentally captures the most heartbreaking and absurd days of his life — from strange neighbors and magical mishaps to funerals, first loves, and everything left unsaid.
It starts off as a mess: attempts at humor, scribbled in barely legible writing, passed between unlikely hands. But somewhere between the margins, a story begins to form.
History won’t remember this part.
But Bill did.

Summary
On his tenth birthday, Harry Potter makes a wish. The surge of magic it releases is absorbed by the Horcrux in his scar, which allows it to awaken and manifest within Harry's shadow. Harry of course has no idea what's going on. To him, it feels like a miracle. Magic is real, and he somehow has a mysterious mentor eager to teach him. Under the guidance of his demanding but helpful shadow, Harry begins a secret magical education, uncovering powers he never dreamed possible. Yet the Horcrux is the one choosing what he learns, quietly steering him toward ambition and darkness. What plan lies behind its lessons? And what role does Harry play in it? One thing is certain - life at the Dursleys just got a whole lot more interesting.
Book 1 of a planned series. Book 2 will begin at Hogwarts.
