    Summary

    The three Unforgivable Curses were classified as such because they work differently than other dark curses. There's dark and then there's Dark. As soul magic, the kind that leaves an unavoidable taint on the soul of the victim and caster both, the Unforgivables fell into the latter category.

    Perhaps if more people had remembered that the Killing Curse wasn’t the same as any other dark curse they wouldn’t have been surprised by Harry Potter when he returned to the Wizarding World.

    As it was, nobody – not even the vaunted Albus Dumbledore, who really should have known better – was prepared for what the Killing Curse had activated in young Harry.

    ---

    In which Harry loves Death, lusts after Voldemort, and wants everyone else to leave him alone with his skeletons.

    Summary

    Despite being an omega, Severus has never had a nurturing bone in his body. While that put an end to any foolish fantasies of romance that his appearance hadn't *already* killed, he was not at all prepared for waking up, after the war, healing from that snake's bite.

    Of course, that paled next to the realisation of where he was and who was looking after him - and really how *dare* Potter, an alpha, be so damn good at looking after both him and Teddy anyway? Who gave him the right? The right to mess with Severus' head, that was.

    He really ought to leave.

    Any day now.

    Summary

    When Petunia first abandons Harry to the cupboard under the stairs, a paroxysmal reaction of magic sends the infant back through time to the relative safety of 1963. Recovered from the site of a magical hailstorm in Surrey, he is adopted into the Potter family.

    Or—

    Harry Potter is entering his sixth year at Hogwarts. With less than satisfactory OWL results and a war brewing just outside the school walls, he has plenty to contend with . . . the last thing Harry needs is to catch the attention of the rising Dark Lord.

    Summary

    It’s the first day after Winter break with snow quietly falling outside the large, gothic windows, though you can hardly get anyone to go out into the cold, especially this early in the morning. For the past week, Harry had been trying to scrape together all his supposed bravery that let him get into Gryffindor, and the current peaceful atmosphere of the mid-breakfast Great Hall really isn’t helping his nerves right now.
    “Hey, Hermione?” he casually asks over the buttered toast on his plate he hadn’t touched since Ron put it there. His hands are cold and wet and shaking and he hates it. “Do you think I have any living relatives outside the Dursleys?”
    ***

    Or: what if the Golden Trio decided that fuck it, they are getting Harry out of the Dursleys? Which of course means that they need a way to do that, which results in an impromptu break-in into the Restricted Section, some questionable decisions, and… Accidental Parent Acquisition.
    Because I’m a sucker for Parent Tom Riddle, apparently.
    ***

    HP doesn’t belong to me and I don’t own any of the canon characters or accidental quotes from the book.

    Summary

    Potter looked every bit as beautiful as ever after all these years, even as he knelt down to console a first-year girl, wiping away the tears of the Slytherin child who had just lost her first Quidditch match. It didn't stop there, it wasn’t just in tender gestures like these that he caught Draco’s eye and did things to his heart—Potter was equally striking when he chose to take his classes outside, onto Hogwarts' grounds, beneath the shade of its ancient trees, where he taught complex defensive spells with a mix of eagerness and grace, breaking them down into something both approachable and mesmerizing.

     

    He moved with a natural elegance, seamlessly blending into the vibrant chaos of his classroom, surrounded by his students. It was a stark contrast to Draco’s own approach—where he could silence the room with a mere shift in tone, commanding instant attention. Potter, on the other hand, didn’t just tame the chaos; he seemed to embrace it, weaving his own energy into the mix with a playfulness, his youthful spirit contagious.
