Summary
“And they’re calling him ‘The Boy Who Lived’? Mycroft asked.
“It’s quite a legacy,” Fudge defended.
Mycroft scoffed. “It’s quite a mouthful.” He watched as Potter’s eyes crinkled.Mycroft prided himself on his intelligence and his control. Right now he knew more than both British ministers and had control over two Harry Potters.
It was like Christmas, his birthday, and Easter combined.Series

Summary
The Killing Curse struck twice. Green light split the graveyard and The-Boy-Who-Lived fell with the spare. For a breathless, suspended second, there was silence. But, something ancient turned its head. Death had not been consulted.
When Cedric Diggory’s body inhaled again, it was not with the soul that had left it. Across the grass, Lord Voldemort smiled because he did not yet understand that he had made a different kind of mistake.

Summary
Draco Malfoy awakens in Gryffindor Tower at the start of his sixth year with no memory of how he arrived.
Can Draco use Harry's lingering impressions of the world to guide him? Can he navigate the politics of being the Boy Who Lived? And how long before he tips off Ron or Hermione?
A bodyswap subversion and bromance, this story features a Ron Weasley convinced they are mates, a Hermione keen on the Dark Arts, a surprisingly friendly Blaise Zabini, and a Luna Lovegood who's just mad enough to find this all perfectly ordinary.
