The Mother Who Sacrificed Herself by MercilessCrying

Summary
"This class will not be something you can read about in a textbook and understand." Their voice was distant as they looked each student in the eye. Ms Granger and Mr Nott had turned the color of a beets, brows furrowing as Sybill tossed the 'assigned' book on their desk, making ceramic cups bounce with sharp twinkling sounds.
"I am not teaching you to See the future, because if you can't do that now, you never will. I am not teaching you how to Look at blobs at the bottom of your cup and make vague guesses on what you can read. I am teaching you to Look and See outside this world. You will See the world without any metaphorical lenses over your eyes. You will Look at the facts of the earth and wind and not just Hear, but you will Listen. You will not learn how to follow a script, you will learn how to improvise.
"And you will either let go of those tense standards as outlined by a page in your books, or you will fail this class with a T." -

Harry knew himself, okay?
But he also knew what he was: the Boy-Who-Lived, the Chosen One, already Gryffindor's Golden Boy when he hadn't yet been sorted.
But, luckily, Harry knew who he was. Harry also knew that everyone was expecting him to go into Gryffindor.
And there was nothing Harry did better than disappointing people.

Summary
Harry Potter is unraveling.
He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.
Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.
Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.
Title changed from: someday i'm gonna be somebody people want (June 23, 2025)

Summary
Petunia Dursley did not hate her nephew. That was absurd. Especially as the aforementioned nephew was only an infant.
But there was something to be said about the bitter feelings that stirred in her gut and brewed in the back of her throat at the sight of him.
She didn't cry, that wasn't a luxury she had nor wanted these days. Crying meant caring. Crying meant accepting. Crying meant forgiveness.
Petunia didn't cry. But, as she held her face in her hands and took raggedy breaths, it was a near thing.

Summary
“I said,” A familiar voice labored from the other end of the room. “I want– to speak– to– Potter.”
Harry pivoted to see Malfoy’s platinum head, curled in over his lap as he forced his mouth to form the words. The metal chair in which he sat comprised the only item in the room, which was dreary at best and a long way from the opulence associated with its resident. Malfoy, himself, looked uncharacteristically tattered, clearly unwashed clothes slumping off his frame.
“Flattered, really.” Harry said, causing the blond to snap alert. Purple, sunken eyes narrowed in his direction.
“You.” Malfoy’s lip curled dreadfully. An unusual greeting, considering the effort he’d put forth to get Harry there.
