Always and Forever by lorelover reviews
This story starts at the end of Harry's third year, and continues thru his seventh. There is action in many of the chapters, but I believe the overwhelming focus should be the main characters. I'm trying to write about a realistic and honest relationship between Harry and Hermione, that in turn, will change everything, from the Triwizard Tournament to the downfall of Voldemort.

Peace Of Mind by Mage Myrddin reviews
Fate and Death owes Harry, so Fate sends him to an alternate universe to live out his childhood again. Most of it, anyway. Harry definitely didn't want to be stuck as eleven again. The reason for the change? Harry is supposed to achieve 'peace of mind.' Whatever the hell that means. WARNING: Mild swearing and non-canon character death.

Not even a first chance! by senawario reviews
(alt title: Disproportionate response). Give the death-eaters a second chance? No way, not even a *first* chance! This is a "redo" fic with a twist. The pairing will eventually be Harmony but a good part of the story happens when they are too young so hard-core Harmonians need to be patient. Rated M for possible violence in later chapters.
