Lord Hermione? by ALRYM reviews
There was no troll in the girls bathroom in 1991. Hermione found no friends that night. Therefore the brightest witch of her age is on a perilous path. Because with magic it is so very true that knowledge is power. But is it also true that power corrupts? Will the only daughter of two dentists become the third Dark Lord that rises in Dumbledore's lifetime?

Just a Touch of Kleptomania by Quatermass reviews
(Dumbledore Bashing! Lunar Harmony!) Based on, but not an answer to DZ2's "What's Yours is Mine" challenge. The Shadow-Walkers, magical thieves of extraordinary power, have long been thought extinct. But Harry, Hermione and Luna not only have those powers, but intend to use them to take everyone from Dumbledore to Voldemort to the cleaners...and make a little profit along the way.

Easier than Falling Asleep by JacobApples reviews
Harry is struck with the killing curse and wakes up the day of the Last Task. This story will be the Order of The Phoenix if Harry had been a bit wiser and Luna a more present character. No time Paradox and no godmoding. Slow build up.

The Good Master by PeacefulCompassion reviews
Harry didn't have the authority of the Ministry. He didn't have the reputation of the Dark Lord. He didn't have the influence of Lucius Malfoy. At heart, he was a simple tailor. "But anyone who had heard of Harry Potter knew that he was more than just a simple tailor. He was a good master." Abused, wise-beyond-years Harry.

The Great Manipulator by Harmonious Cannons reviews
Harry strays into the library's newspaper archives. The Hat wanted to put Harry into Slytherin. Harry was not just not stupid, he also was fairly clever if he wanted to be. Well, the Ministry needed a new player for quite sometime now. Not a bashing story. Part one - Sirius' freedom is complete. Irregular but not infrequent updates.

The Boy Who Survived by TheDarkLadyofLight reviews
We have all read the stories where people in Harry's life find out he is abused, but what would happen if the entire wizarding world found out at once...and how would it affect not only Harry Potter but also the war. In the time of truth will Harry be able to stand strong, or will he crumble to pieces. Warning: mentions of abuse.
