    Summary

    Update as of Nov 2020: this series is abandoned! I have mixed feelings about some of the choices I made when writing it and have neither the time nor the motivation to go back and rewrite it to move forward with the fic. Sorry to say the muse has moved on.

    Thanks to everyone who read, commented, kudos, bookmarked, etc!

    Dick Grayson attempts to get to know his mother's brother. A Mr. Vernon Dursley. It turns out, Dick doesn't like him or his family very much, but he becomes very interested in their strange nephew, Harry Potter. Dick, and the rest of the batfamily, decide Harry is much better off with them. Really.

    Series chronological order
    1. The Beginning
    2. Wizard Among Bats (WaB)*
    3. Summer of Magic (SoM)

    *A Bird's perspective happens in ch 4 of WaB, but also flashes back to between The Beginning and WaB

    Summary

    Harry went back to school for an eighth year at Hogwarts along with a lot of other fellow students. They have their own common room, and mostly their own classes, but one upcoming class has Harry anxious. A new charm was created that allowed someone to share a specific memory of a time in their life, similar to a pensieve, but the charm can be projected and played on a wall like watching a movie at a cinema.

    Professor Flitwick wants everyone to show the memory of the time they all received their Hogwarts letters, to remind them of simpler times and help them to heal from the war. Unfortunately, Harry getting his letter was not so simple or straightforward. And now he was meant to show that to his classmates.

    He had no idea that it would only make things better.

    Summary

    Harry Potter had been able to see people others couldn't since he could remember; he didn't know it was something bad until he could speak and Aunt Petunia would hit him with the spatula for his freakishness. Still, they made good company occasionally, at least the ones who weren't yelling all the time. Regulus, in particular, was a constant guardian; he taught him, was never unkind, and even protected him when his incorporeality allowed.

    (Or the one when being touched by death left a lasting impression on one Harry James Potter, leaving one Regulus Arcturus Black to raise his brother's godson. As a ghost. Who knew the afterlife would be so interesting?)

    Summary

    Being absolutely invisible to other people has its upsides. Luna breaks the school rules – Forbidden Forest is such a beautiful place! – and doesn’t really care about the curfew, and no one ever punishes her for it because they simply don’t see her do it. Luna knows all the nooks and crannies, the dark corridors hidden behind portraits and little dusty rooms great for studying or daydreaming. Hogwarts loves her, makes the stone under her feet soft and warm as she walks barefoot after someone stole all of her shoes and socks again. House elves leave her sandwiches and cookies when she forgets about meals or gets distracted on her way to the Great Hall.

    Summary

    The dragon blinked slightly before raising its head, a low hissing voice emanating from its mouth.

    Harry….

    His head jerked back slightly in surprise.

    You can speak?” he asked it back, ignoring the way Hermione’s grip tightened on his shoulder and Ron sucked in a breath beside him. The dragon didn’t reply for a moment before giving Harry a slight nod.

    To you, speaker,” the low hiss came again. “you are guardian.

    Summary

    The first green thing in Tom's life is his mother's dress, before she dies holding him. He can't remember this, but he hears of it, spoken about by the few caretakers who'd been there that day, speaking of the strangely luxurious green dress the woman had been wearing when she passed out on the street. That was all the description he got of her and, as a very young child, Tom sometimes imagined a rich family coming to find him, all of them in green. None ever came, and he outgrew the need for a mother or a family, but he never outgrew the want of one. He deserves one, after all.

    And Harry is a small child, years younger and half Tom's size, dropped at Wool's Orphanage without an identity or past. And his eyes are the vivid green of rich fabrics that Tom dreams about, and his scarring carves a delicate map across his forehead, partially hidden behind his hair and begging for Tom to uncover it.

    Family, Tom decides to call it, and collects Harry like a trinket instead of another child.

    Summary

    Tom probably was meant to be a Dark Lord. But this Hufflepuff won't leave him alone and somehow he gets these stupid protective feelings and he ends up saving the world. That's just great. Tom was pretty sure he would have been happier being evil, but luckily for the world, Harry strongly disagrees.

    Summary

    Glancing down at his hands, Harry silently berated himself.

    He didn’t know why he thought Hogwarts would be different. Why would he ever think he could fit in here?

    A feeling crawled up Harry’s throat the longer people stared. It was one he was more than familiar with. It was as though a thousand needles were pricking at his lungs, poking through his tongue and piercing his ability to speak.

    His primary school teacher called it ‘social anxiety’. Aunt Petunia called it ‘pathetic, weak, attention-seeking behavior’.

    She had never entirely recovered from her brief attempt at freedom, when that (beautiful, wonderful, lovely) boy had vanished the glass before her. The walls of her vivarium never had felt so small before. The ache she now felt of losing something she had was palpable, and it hurt much more then when she had never known what she had been missing.

    Hello again,” the human hissed, smile growing wider as she lifted her head up and flicked her tongue in recognition. “I’m sorry it’s taken me so long.
