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.Bookmarked by mostlyreader

Summary
On Harry's 10th birthday, he falls gravely ill. So ill that the Dursleys, after days of leaving the boy in agony, are forced to take him to the hospital. When Muggle medicine fails, Severus Snape is the one to answer the call for aid. He soon realizes that all he has been told of the boy's 'pampered', 'loved' and 'spoiled' life have been utter fabrications.
When Severus sees the depths to which Albus Dumbledore is willing to sink to play games with their lives, he decides he must protect the boy from the Headmaster, before it is too late.

Summary
I've turned this work into a series because I've realised it made more sense than keeping to one huge work.
The first installation focuses on the summer of Year 4 and the murder mystery. The part featuring the actual school year will come after and there will be a few one shots in the middle.

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)

Summary
On paper, Maisie had everything a little girl could want.
A castle with turrets that clawed at the sky, gowns embroidered with silver thread, tutors who taught her charms before she could properly hold a wand. Her playroom was stacked with dolls carved from ivory and chess sets made of jade. But the toys gathered dust in the corner while she pressed her forehead to the glass of her window, staring at the forest beyond the estate walls.
Freedom was the one gift her birthright never gave her.
She had two parents who got along, a protective older sister, and she was a princess and a witch.
But Maisie, like any overly privileged child, wants *something else*
Maisie loves her sister, she really does, but…everything changed on her 11th birthday. Something that she would swear to her sister, wouldn’t change anything between them, but how could you look at your sister when the vampire that made her what she is was the first person you ever killed?
***Or
A story that follows a girl with far too much on her shoulders learns to let people help her carry it. Will she let it kill them or let it kill her?Series

Summary
In 1997, magic is a secret. In 837, it is a death sentence.
Privet Drive goes quiet—and reality tears anyway. Harry steps out of a cupboard and into smoke, chanting, torchlight, and mud.
The smell of bleach is replaced by the copper tang of blood. The silence is broken by a language he does not understand.
Harry Potter wakes up in the Kingdom of Mercia. There is no Dumbledore to guide him. There is no Voldemort to hunt him. There is only the biting cold, the unintelligible tongue of the locals, and the terrifying realization that he is utterly, completely alone.He wants one thing: survive long enough to find a way home.
And the longer Harry stays alive, the more the legend starts writing itself around him.

Summary
Having survived first year oblivious to Dumbledore's machinations, but wiser to the world of wizarding politics and Slytherin Ideals, Harry Potter is eager to start his second year.
Harry still wants to prove himself, while also coming to terms with the concept that he is worthy of unconditional love but that not everyone can be trusted.
Draco still wants to be the best friend that he can, while also developing more of his own identity.
Severus still wants a drink, while also grappling with the knowledge that the Dark Lord definitively knows he's a traitor, but as of yet, Lucius Malfoy does not.

Summary
In his arrogance and pride, Tom Riddle did terrible things, things for which all magicals paid the price. The mundanes weren't so naïve as they thought, at least not all of them, and they'd been prepared. Years of war, and strife with the Inquisition left Harry alone in a world very aware, and very wary, of all things magical.
With nothing left to lose, he finds himself standing before the Veil. Fate always had a purpose for him, he just never expected it to take him so far from his own time.

Summary
Salazar Slytherin never existed…
…But Harry Potter did.The broken Time Turners at the Department of Mysteries has Harry Potter finding himself stranded in the Founders' Era. In the middle of a battle. Naturally, he does what any sensible person would do: save a stranger’s life, befriend him, and accidentally get named after a historical dark wizard.
Except that stranger is Godric Gryffindor. And he thinks “Harry” sounds dumb. So now Harry is “Sal”. Short for “Salvator”. Later ”Salazar”. Which is fine. Totally fine. Except it’s not. Because history is starting to look suspiciously familiar. And Harry? He’s starting to look suspiciously like a Parselmouth with green eyes and ambition issues.
He’s not Salazar Slytherin. Obviously.
...Right?A time travel identity-crisis adventure featuring sarcastic friendships, reluctant legendary status, historical inaccuracies, and the accidental founding of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

One, magic is real.
Two, he is the newly minted heir to the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.

Summary
Greedy is not a word he would describe himself with. Through perhaps it was not that far removed from the truth. He did desire. He desired to know, to understand, to be able to. Once in possession of a singular little piece he could not help but grab the rest with desperate fingers.
And magic, strange and not at all bound by any human morals only rewarded the hunger festering within his dark eyes.
OR: A very curious and overly ambitious man dies and is reincarnated into the wizarding world.
