Summary
Harry Potter’s entire life rests on a lie carefully spun by Albus Dumbledore.
After Voldemort’s fall, Dumbledore controlled the story the world heard, secretly kept James and Lily Potter alive for his own purposes, and left Harry with abusive Muggle relatives to keep him small and compliant. All of it was done in the name of the so-called “greater good.”Now, Harry is back in the Wizarding World, and Dumbledore’s grip on him is weakening. The truth is beginning to surface, and it is coming straight for Albus Dumbledore.

Summary
“Do you know what I think, Harry?” He barely paused to allow an answer. “Albus has done well instilling you with his ideals, molding you to be the perfect dutiful soldier, but you’ve never developed your own code of ethics. You’ve never had to. But what happens to an animal that’s been fed all its life, when the automated machine finally breaks?"
He found the man approaching with an unnervingly gradual momentum. But no- that couldn’t be exactly right, because his feet had stayed firmly planted at the edge of the rug the whole time, which meant-
Harry was the one stepping closer.
“Do you know?” he cocked his head, next words more snarl than speech. “It starves. So tell me: are you sure you weren’t just looking for an excuse to disguise your own interest in the dark arts?”After the Sectumsempra incident, Slughorn has a suggestion. As a result, the whole castle is thrown into disarray, and everything Harry once thought he knew is turned on its head. It appears that no one is exactly what they seem, not even himself- and now, he’s somehow considered both a Gryffindor and a Slytherin. To make matters worse, he just cannot seem to get a decent night’s sleep.

Summary
This is the story of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. From their entrance as ignorant children to a strange, harsh, and demanding world, to their growth into rulers recognized on the world stage. Their journey will not be a gentle one, full of many successes and failures. Along the way, they will make friends, learn from brutal instructors, and become part of the legendary family Black.
This is a 'what if' about what would happen if 'Draco isn't an Idiot', and paid attention to the lessons Narcissa taught about the Black, and following their motto, ‘family first.’ Naturally, Draco would invite Harry to join his family, and from there he actually learns the truth, instead of the lies told by Dumbledore. With proper supervision and the love of family, Harry excels in ways never dreamed.
Because that wasn't enough of a challenge, I also made a world very similar to Victorian England with harsh discipline, honor, and proper comportment. I created a world where first-gens are used to replenish the magic of families, so while second-class citizens, they are necessary every three generations to keep the family magic alive. Beloved Hekate is the goddess of magic, and she does occasionally interfere, too.

Summary

Or
What if Harry’s inheritance awoke after the basilisk debacle, the summer before his third year? At thirteen, he isn’t alone—by his side is a resurrected Voldemort, who had spent years nestled deep in his soul. Together, they are thrown into Nevarah. How will they endure it?
Secrets bloom where they should not, binding child to shadow, hunger to ruin. Monsters love, and it is the cruellest truth of all.

Summary
This is what he’d been waiting for, this is why he’d suffered centuries in an odd sort of stasis. He’d seen the rise and fall of empire after empire, felt spikes in magic and heard whispers of legend that were so close to the real thing he’d nearly deluded himself into believing it time and time again, but nothing had felt quite like this. After an entire millennium of waiting, the King had returned.
Or: Harry Potter is the fated Future King of Camelot and Merlin isn't about to let him grow up in Surrey with no knowledge of magic. What results is a Harry who's much better trained and much more well equipped to dive headfirst into chaos and a Merlin who remembers what it's like to care.

Summary
"Good grief, gods do what they like. / They call down hurricanes with a whisper / or send off a tsunami the way you would a love letter. / If they have a whim, they make some henchmen / fix it up, like those idiots in the Iliad. / A puff of smoke, a little fog, away goes the hero, / it’s happily ever after." - Sappho
Thrust into the wixen world at eleven, knowing nothing of his heritage, Harry quickly adapts and slowly reveals old information none could have imagined. In a time marred by conflict and clashing ideals, Harry is certain of one thing only: the Wheel continues to turn...

Summary
Eyes are the window to the soul. This is why legilimency requires eye contact and can delve so much deeper than mere surface thoughts. Occlumency similarly shields the mind, and for those with soulsight; the vision of the soul.
And Harry Potter, even as he is born to James and Lily Potter, has the eyes of a dead Dark Lord in the bright green shade of the killing curse.
They could only explain it as Lily's eyes, even though her's never pierced through one's being or simmered like a live ember.
After all, they could not possibly imagine the truth.
