    Summary

    James and Lily are dead. Harry is not. And as much as the dynamic duo of Gryffindor have their issues to work through regarding magic, the Old Ways, politics, and heritage, they still love their son, and will do anything to help him on his way...even if they can only do so through dreams. Join James and Lily, their friends, and their enemies as they navigate what it means to be dead and what it means to finally have access to the truth.

    Harry Potter is weird. He knows this. He's known this since he was young, since it was all his family would ever say to him. But as much as his family hated him and his weirdness, he loved it, and he loved the dreams of the nice man with bad hair and the pretty woman with green eyes who told him they loved him every night. And he loved what they taught him too. He doesn't say what his weirdness is, because he'd get in trouble and he'd get hurt by his Uncle, but he knows what it is in his heart. And he's biding his time to leave the house behind and find the mystical places the nice people told him about--a Diagonally and a Hoggywart. And he'll take his cousin too, since he's nicer than he pretends to be. Join Harry and Dudley as they navigate the magical world (pre Year 1 - year 1)

    Severus wakes up in the past at a point in his life where he has lost every emotional connection but before he has gained permission obligations to Britain. His last life was dedicated to Lily, servitude, and eventually bent to the greater good. This life will be about him. No masters! Not self interested friends. Not bullies. It would be about him. His desires. His legacy. But did he need to stay, Severus Snape, to achieve his desires? No pairings.

    Summary

    Six years after the final war ended, the Ministry of Magic agrees to a joint initiative with the Muggle government: a series of “heritage assessments” on wizarding estates with questionable pasts.

    Malfoy Manor is among them.

    Draco Malfoy expects scrutiny, suspicion, and another round of quiet punishment. What he doesn’t expect is the arrival of a Muggle woman tasked with cataloguing everything his family has left behind—nor the way she begins to unravel far more than the Manor’s history.

    Some things should remain buried.
    Others refuse to stay in the past.
