Summary
After Harry is outed as a Parselmouth to the school in his second year, Draco approaches him with the intent of discovering whether he truly is the heir of Slytherin. After forming a somewhat unsteady and fragile truce, the pair end up learning much more about Harry’s past and magic than they had originally intended. The discovery leads to not only Harry’s access to his full magical potential but an escape from the Dursleys in the form of Severus Snape.
I.e., The fic where Harry's life at Hogwarts goes a lot better. He gets the love and family he deserves following his second year and becomes a much smarter and more powerful wizard.
Dumbledore kinda sucks in this fic so get ready for bashing. Snape and Draco also end up being actually nice people.

Uroboros (Be careful not to eat your own tail) by PottersForehead

Summary
Is there a desire for warmth in the coldest heart in the world? Harry discovers he couldn’t possibly change his world, but someone gives him a second chance. There is one small problem though, he is literally turned into a harmless snake. What is a boy to do? He clings to the nearest human being that wanted to help, even if it is the murderer of his parents.
Harry can’t let anyone else die because of some deranged wizard. Before his brain can react to the rest of what’s happening there comes a moment of clarity, he throws himself in front of Cedric pushing the older champion to the ground, hoping- no, praying to save the Hufflepuffs life. Cedric was his friend, and the happenings of the third task only solidified that. He was so done with his own life, after all, so why not sacrifice it for someone? If not for his determination, he would have given up a long time ago.
English is not my first language, you were warned.

Summary
Getting grabbed around the ankle at the last second by a screaming Uncle Vernon? Not great.
Kicking Vernon in the face while Fred shouted, “Floor it!”, thus resulting in the Dursley patriarch falling out a window?
Genuinely a top 10 moment in Harry’s life.
---
After dying and being thrown back into his 11 year-old body with limited access to his memories from his past life, Harry's had to get by with only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to keep him from making the same choices (and mistakes) as he did before. But now that he's more connected than ever with his sixth-sense, the barriers that kept his past from him are breaking down. Dreams and visions are bombarding him more frequently, and just in time. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and as his deja-vu brain keeps saying, "It's not happening like it did last time."Series

Rise of the Good Bad Dark Lord (Revamped) by Bokbok3
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
09 Mar 2025

Summary
When Lord Voldemort cast the Killing Curse on Lily Potter, he expected victory. Instead, he awoke inside a dark cupboard, staring at a crying child on a small bed. Green eyes met his own. Voldemort stilled. Harry Potter.
But something was… different. He was different. No longer the Dark Lord, but a mere fragment of a soul—a shadow bound to the boy who was destined to be his downfall. And yet, as time passed, as he observed, taught, and guided the child, something unthinkable happened. Affection. Pride. A fierce, undeniable urge to protect, to nurture.
Then, the truth struck like lightning. He was not the true Voldemort. The original still lurked out there, waiting, hunting… for his boy.
No.
Tom would not allow it. He would rise again—as a Dark Lord, or as something far more dangerous.
For the first time in his existence, Lord Voldemort had something he placed above himself. And he would burn the world itself before letting anyone take Harry from him.
In the process of revamping (12/56)

Perhaps a Little Bit Obsessed by fightclubsoundtrack

Summary
Tom Riddle isn’t usually intrigued by his classmates. Not unless they have valuable skills or exploitable weaknesses.
Harrison Evans is the exception to that.
(Or: A rather oblivious Tom Riddle’s borderline-obsessive curiosity and impending sexuality crisis over Slytherin house’s newest fifth year)
