    "Death"

    "You are finally ready, I see"

    "Ready for what?"

    "To live"

    "Wasn't I doing just that?"

    "Were you?"

    Harry had no answer.
    (Perhaps that was answer enough. Or perhaps Death just enjoyed being cryptic. Hard to say.)

    {Time-travel AU. Watch as Harry is yeeted into the past, bullies the wizarding world into making sense, and absolutely refuses to follow Dumbledore’s script. Features excessive worldbuilding (someone's gotta fix this mess), slow-burn romance (because trauma-bonding is hot), and a protagonist who treats destiny like Terms & Conditions—unread and promptly ignored. Happy ending optional, sarcasm mandatory.}

    Summary

    It's been over five years since Voldemort's defeat when Harry Potter gets pushed through a portal and falls into the Great Hall of Hogwarts. This wouldn't be a problem, exactly, except it's his parents' Hogwarts instead of his own. Thankfully, Hermione and Ron aren't about to let him face this newest form of trouble by himself. Even more fortunately, Hermione says they're in a different dimension entirely.

    Harry has a castle full of living ghosts, his best friends by his side, and three to six months to make just a few changes. Starting with a snake.

    Summary

    There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.

    And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.

    They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

    Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.

    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

    Harry chooses to confide in Ginny about his miserable Occlumency lessons, not realizing the youngest Weasley might just have a thing or two to say about someone poking around his head when he doesn’t want it. Together, they hatch a plan to get him out of the lessons that has a variety of unintended consequences: an opening for Dolores Umbridge to tighten her hold over the castle, a clue to set the last true Marauders on the trail of Voldemort’s secrets, and a beginning of something more between Harry and Ginny themselves.
