Summary
Harry James Potter nigdy nie istniał. Jego imię było tylko częścią prawdy, starannie dobraną dla mas. Nikt nigdy nie miał się dowiedzieć o jego prawdziwym pochodzeniu, jednak jeden stary czarodziej przekreśla te plany zabierając Harry'ego od maltretujących go mugoli i pokazując mu świat należny mu z urodzenia. Hadar więc wkracza w świat skomplikowanych układów z jeszcze bardziej skomplikowaną przeszłością niż miał do tej pory, ale i zwiedzą, której nie zdobyłby pod Privet Drive 4. Czy Beauxbattons pomoże mu zachować pozory bycia dzieckiem, takim jak inne? Ile blizn skrywa skóra Chłopca - Który - Przeżył? Czy Blackowie przetrwają spisek jasności? Co skrywa Noc Duchów roku 1981 i ile namieszała w niej Lily Evans? Jak ważne w świecie czarodziejów są bratnie dusze?

Summary
“I know you think your money protects you. You must have an army of solicitors and at least half the Wizengamot taking your galleons under the table. It’s quite the neat job, really, positioning yourself as the victim of this crime—but you haven’t fooled me. I know you’re the one making a mess for everyone else to clean up, and I'm going to make your life as difficult as possible.”
He leaned in closer. "I'm counting on it."
In which Hermione Granger, renowned magical artifact hunter, is called back to London to sort out an improbable robbery at Gringotts Bank that has rattled the Ministry and the wizarding public at large.
Tasked with retrieving a stolen weapon created by Voldemort and hidden by Bellatrix Lestrange, she finds her attention increasingly focused on Draco Malfoy—secretive businessman, reformed Death Eater, and undoubtedly the mastermind behind the break-in.

Summary
When Elara Grey rescued a young Harry Potter from the Dursleys, she never intended to become a shadow in the Ministry’s blind spots or a quiet force moving against the currents of wizarding politics. Now, years later, Elara’s careful world begins to unravel as a dangerous escape from Azkaban triggers a chain of events that pull her past into the present.
Harry faces his third year at Hogwarts unaware of the true stakes building around him. Secrets coil beneath the surface. Ancient magic stirs. The Ministry fractures. And something far older than the war begins to shift, watching those who wander too close to it.
As old enemies resurface and hidden alliances tighten around her, Elara is forced to confront the parts of herself she has buried deep. Every choice she makes will protect the people she loves or destroy the fragile peace they have built together.
Some shadows follow you. Others are forged by your own hands.
This is the third installment of The Shadow War Chronicles.

Summary
Twelve years after the fall of Voldemort, Estelle Ophelia Black returns to Hogwarts. Not as a student, not as the girl who once carved runes into windowsills or stole apples from the kitchens with the Marauders—but as a professor. As a survivor.
Twin sister of Sirius Black, former Slytherin tangled in Gryffindor friendships, a girl caught between legacy and rebellion, and still haunted by the scent of firewhisky and ash.
In a castle full of ghosts, she finds herself again facing dangerous truths and the long shadows of war. Remus Lupin is still kind beneath his quiet, Severus Snape is still sharp behind his scowl, and the past—well, it never really left.
This is not just a return. It’s a reckoning.
Essence of Dittany is a slow-burn, emotionally layered canon-divergent epic that weaves through the aftermath of grief, the ache of forbidden love, and the cost of surviving. For those who loved the Marauders, who mourned what the war stole, and who always wondered what it might take to come home again.
This one’s for you.
And for her.

Summary
The sweet scent of aconites floated lazily in the air. It tickled the noses of sleeping portraits and delighted the sentient suits of armour. It travelled through long hallways, embedded itself into heavy curtains and rugs and eventually managed to escape into the cool night air where the moon shone almost as brightly as she did.
Catallena Nocturne has a taxidermied pet cat, an alliance(?) with Death and a ticket for the Hogwarts Express.
Status of the story (updated at chpt. 27): nearing the end of book one,, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. -

Summary
Romina Lupin was the vivacious twin. The protector. But behind her gentle smile and contagious laugh laid a web of secrets — forged in love and fear. She never wanted people to worry, so she kept most people from knowing her depths, even when she was hearing whispered voices and hauntings in her dreams.
What started as quiet murmurs became warnings in storms. Shadowy figures flickered in her reflection. Magic as old as the sea stirred in her blood.
As war rages on, her ancient magic is seen as a weapon. She was a pawn in a twisted fight for power and control. Forced into the shadows, she is manipulated, hunted and feared. As her loved ones are disappearing one by one, Romina pays the ultimate price for their supposed protection.

Summary
Hermione scrive a Draco durante il suo periodo di condanna ad Azkaban.
***
Malfoy,
vengo in pace, anche se sentire mie notizie non te ne porta affatto. La tua defunta moglie mi ha nominata una dei tutori di tuo figlio, come sono sicura tu già sappia. Ti esprimerei le mie più sentite condoglianze per la tua perdita, ma Theo mi ha spiegato chiaramente che il tuo matrimonio con Astoria non era basato né su amore né su rispetto. Esprimo invece tutta la mia tristezza per il fatto che tuo figlio non abbia la possibilità di conoscere sua madre. Mi dispiace.
Fammi sapere se c’è niente che possa fare (a meno che ciò non contenga le parole 'vattene' e 'affanculo', in quel caso, tieniti i commenti per te).
Distinti saluti,
Hermione J GrangerSeries

Summary
*Another go, at the marriage law....*
There had been just 18 months of rest, hope and rebuilding, before the world came crashing down ago. No dark wizards, no fight, no evil plot to enslave the human race this time. They knew how to fight that.
This time around, the world was brought down from within. The ministry, afraid of the declining birthrates and more open living practices in the younger generations, enacting a marriage decree. And that, that was something new. Something they hadn't even considered as a threat.Bill has not even realized it happening. His wife dying in childbirth, taking all the light from his life with her, the last thing he actively remembered, before crashing six month ago.
What was one more stone in his way? What did he care for Azkaban? Why should he care? He was a widower, not a Bachelor?
