Summary
After something of an interesting start to the summer, Harry and Theo find themselves in the safe confines of Snape’s home. To bad the school year can’t hold the same peace that they’d found then. The Triwizard Tournament has come back once more, and with a new threat waiting in the wings, even the spirits of the dead are worried that Harry might join him and become one.

Not discontinued, am currently going to be going through and re reading everything that I’ve written for this to remember everything, and also to edit out grammar mistakes. I am going to be doing Podfic chapters for all of this as I do so, so it will take a minute but new chapters will be coming soon even if they still might be a monthly thing.

Summary
Ari figures that finding herself in the world of Harry Potter with memories of things that haven't happened yet is a big enough plot deviance that she might as well go ahead and change everything else.
Now she has to plot several rescues, look for at least one competent adult, and find the nearest library. Hopefully before anyone figures out just how much she knows.

Summary
Harry Potter seeks meaning when his life ends far too soon and he is reborn in the past as the daughter of Walburga and Orion Black. He has big goals for changes he wants to achieve in the wizarding world but it is easier said than done when your mind rebels against being in a girl's body and your body rebels against the terrifying parents you are being brought up by.
Harry had always thought being an orphan was the worst fate he could have had but after having Sirius' parents as his own, he can now safely say that he would much prefer to be an orphan again, thank you very much!

Summary
When Hermione Granger decides that the only way to stop Voldemort is to go back in time and love the evil out of him, Harry Potter laughs. Then he agrees.
Harry Potter wakes in 1928 with an accidentally age-regressed Hermione and a half-baked plan to change the course of history. He suddenly finds himself with two small children to raise—one of which has the potential to grow into a Dark Lord. Living under a new name and building a quiet life in 1930s Godric's Hollow, Harry’s singular focus becomes raising his children with love and affection.
As political tensions rise and long-buried legacies awaken, Harry finds himself entangled with Lord Arcturus Black III—who might be everything he ever wanted, if he can just manage not to hex the posh git first.
Time travel/reincarnation. Found family. Courtship rituals. Domestic fluff. Pretty-swift-not-really-slow-burn romance meets magical chaos, with a cast of precocious children, looming Dark Lords (cough Grindlewald cough), and at least one snake who may or may not be a prophet.

Summary
It was a warm and sunny day in London, with no clouds in sight. On this sunny day, a little girl stood on Charing Cross Road staring at a seemingly broken-down old shop. In reality, this young seven-year-old girl was staring at the Leaky Cauldron.
That little girl was me. Belladonna Burton, seven years of age, and now a confirmed witch.
I sighed as I stared at the Leaky Cauldron sign. “What a fucking mess.”
A lady gasped at me in horror before hurrying along and disappearing into the crowd, and I couldn’t fault her. I would probably also be unpleasantly surprised at hearing a 7-year-old girl utter those words.
The problem was that, according to my memories, I knew what was to come in the future. At first, I thought I had been reborn, like in one of those books, but that was hard to prove as I couldn’t really remember a previous life. What I did know was what would happen in the future, both in the Muggle world and the Wizarding. I just didn’t have any memories of myself in either world.This story explores Bella Burton, an OC, as she navigates being a muggleborn in the wizarding world while making the most out of her knowledge of the future for purely selfish purposes.

Summary
The war is over - or it should be. Harry is a war hero, is a decorated Auror, is a mostly-functioning adult. He attends birthday parties, other people's weddings, Christmases where no one mentions the seats left empty. He lives a step outside his own life, but he’s fine. He is.
Albus Dumbledore is a respected Hogwarts professor, is the most powerful wizard of his generation, is a recluse with a broken heart. His world is collapsing from under his feet as the man he once loved pitches wizard-kind against itself. The war hasn't started yet, but it soon will.
An escaped criminal and an ancient spell bring their lives crashing together.

The top percentage Rattata was a legendary existence never before proven to work in the highest levels of professional battling, or any level of professional battling to be honest. But, Joey, a reincarnated youngster, was willing to pull all the stops into making this dream a reality and make his partner ascend into the realm of champions. A pre-canon self-insert.

Summary
With the support of his loving godfather, his loyal friends, and an entire squad of unwitting minions, it looks as if Harry's life is shaping up just as he's always wanted. However, between the drama of the Triwizard Tournament, the Horcruxes stashed in his sock drawer, and Snape's increasingly despairing attempts to explain moral philosophy to him, Harry's plans for world domination might be experiencing a brief hiccup or two.
Aside from those rather minor issues, Harry seems to be right on track to lead a perfectly normal life. But, when it comes to plotting, the high-pitched voice in his head might have a few ideas of its own.
Sequel to The Devil You Know and The Devil in the Details.

Harry Potter and The Placement of Stones by Aldenisan
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
What do you do if you wake up as Harry Potter? Escape the Dursleys and clear Sirius's name, of course! But after that? The magical world rapidly proves more complex than expected, a world where it is unclear who to trust. Where the motivations of the Malfoys may be nuanced enough for them to become allies.
Malcolm watches Sirius trail behind Harry in the orphanage like a wounded puppy. It’s a delicate balance, trying to smooth over Sirius’s ever-shifting moods while not overstepping his role as the Black Steward. He suppresses a sigh as the boy gathers up a few items–a pinecone, a candle, a few stones–from around the dorm.
His breath catches.
The moment the child lifts the final stone, a spell is broken. He nearly misses it: the change only perceptible against the oppressive lack he feels in his bones whenever he is in the muggle world. In his mind’s eye he sees himself as a child, isolated and ignorant of the magical world, drowning in concrete and chain-link fences. He knows that, just as this child has done, that he would have clung to whatever beauty he could make or find. That in order to survive, he would have known where to place the stones.

Summary
Harry never gave much thought to how he would die, not after the war at least, however being mauled by werewolves was certainly not what he’d had in mind. It was painful and sort of embarrassing. He’d assumed that would be it, that he’d pass over and join his loved ones in the afterlife. He’d assumed wrong.
He found himself reborn in a world filled with violence, deception and depravity, where a Mad King burned people alive for the slightest offence, real or imagined.
Harry was a prince, heir to the Iron Throne after his father, which was a curse more than it was a blessing, one he hoped he would not have to bear until he was old and grey.
Harry should have known not to tempt fate...
This is NOT a Harry/Daenerys or Jon/Daenerys story!!! Please stop suggesting that they get together.

Summary
This world has no need for her, offers no destined paths and fated battles, for it is not hers to save. [
Was never meant to be saved.] But Harry — Harry, whose father was brave enough to face Voldemort head on, whose mother was brilliant enough to outsmart him, Harry, who has Lannister blood running through her veins and magic purring under her skin — Harry will reshape it all the same.Elyanna Baratheon is born with the breathtaking, terrifying might that is a life free of a prophecy’s shackles. Luckily, she's got twisted family drama, an ill-timed reawakening of the Magic of Old and the powder keg that calls itself the political climate of Westeros to keep her occupied.
