    Summary

    'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
    - Merriam Webster dictionary

    For Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
    But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.

    Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.

    Summary

    Alright, he needed to do something right now to prove to this wolf that he was not a fox, he was a shapeshifter. He needed to… to…move…?
    Any time… Please…?
    His body remained immobile, and the wolf continued to lick him.
    The fucking snake monster, and the fucking paralytic causing problems.

    Aka: Jaskier's a shapeshifter and stuck in his form when a strange wolf finds him.

    Summary

    “You look less than pleased to be here,” says a voice to Geralt’s left. It’s jarring enough that someone that he doesn’t recognize is speaking to him that Geralt almost chokes on an ice cube. He swallows hard, then looks towards the voice.

    “What gave it away?” He asks. He licks vodka-cherry flavor off his top lip, waiting for this irritatingly pretty stranger to say something shitty.

    “Well, you’re nursing a drink and brooding in a corner when you could definitely be doing a lot else. And, no offense, you look confused by your drink. Plus, you’re way too pretty to be here alone.”

    Geralt bites down on his bottom lip, trying unsuccessfully to suppress a smile. “That’s a shitty line.”

    Or: the bar hookup au nobody asked for.

    Summary

    “No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
    Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
    “That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
    Harry didn't like the sound of that.
    “But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
    “Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.

    Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.

    (If only there was someone who understood...)

     
    A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not.
