(Complete) In Limbo, Harry didn't reject the tortured-looking child but reached out to soothe and protect him. In turn, the fates gave Harry Potter another chance at childhood. AU

Severus Snape was not happy man; he had literally pulled the short straw. He had been sent to inform Harry Potter about the Wizarding world. What he finds is not what is expected. Not slash.

Harry stumbles across a rather helpful pair of potions in his search to remember his school work better. Who'd a thought a little memory would make such a difference in a person's life.

Hermione's brilliant logic solves the potion challenge then discovers an even bigger logic problem to solve in the Philosopher's Stone Quest, and she realizes that there was somewhere she really needed to be with someone who needed her so much more. Apologetic forgiven Snape with a manipulative, unforgiven, unhelpful, and bashed Dumbledore and Ronald. HHr NLLL Character deaths.

Wherein Dumbledore trades a pair of socks, a package of chocolate frogs, and a warm fire for an extra day in the office and we learn that being well-rested is overrated.

Harry sees only one option when his name comes out of the cup; run from it. But the Ministry says he entered a contract and laws cross borders. Only one option exists; to go somewhere the Ministry's and the International Confederation's laws can't take hold of him.

Harry never put his name in the cup. No one would believe him, so he leaves Hogwarts searching for a way to fight the wizarding contract, using the thing that holds him to it; the law.

Harry didn't spend all day cooped up in Privet Drive during the summer holidays. He found a farm and a love of horses. From that came a whole new world, he found something that he enjoyed with people who didn't neglect him. Set just before Harry's 3rd year. No Slash.

So Harry had some bad experiences with food at the Dursleys. How would that affect him once he started Hogwarts? When the Weasley twins are involved, you never know! Complete story.

Five years after the Second Wizarding War, how might Harry's life be? And how might one thing change the world again? Written as a request for God of the Challenge

Harry Potter receives an Order of Merlin for defeating Voldemort and has something to get off of his chest. One Shot.

set following the pensieve incident during occlumensy, Harry has a sudden fit of the smarts and works to enlist more active aid from Snape. Unkind to Dumbledore and some Weasleys. Umbitch gets hers. Hermione has to think, and wises up. A peek at what might happen if the occasional use of logic and intellect was applied instead of hokey reasoning and blind belief in prophecy.

Vernon's reaction to having Harry dumped on the doorstep by *their kind* is predictable, and Petunia has a small epiphany over what might happen if Dudley develops magic when he is older the way Lily did. Suddenly her love for her sister is more important than her jealousy, and she takes steps to save Harry and Dudley by contacting the only person she knows in the wizarding world.

because the horcrux in Harry's head wasn't dealt with when he was a child, and was killed by a rather brute force method after much trauma, Harry Potter is an adult who will not live to see his 30th birthday. Reviewing all the stupid mistakes made by the adults around him, he returns in time to sort out his younger self's life, by setting in train a number of actions.

Set at the beginning of the Triwizard tournament, when Harry is so angry, he has decided that the consequence of losing his magic matters less than losing his life. However, he has a thing or two to say about the Wizarding World first. Oh, and it's a Harry/Hermione shipping

this was written in response to a request of what might happen if Severus had not suffered the worst of the bullying at the hands of the Marauders. Instead, his mother takes him to America to go to school, but he remains in contact with Lily by letter, and when she is in trouble, he returns with a new identity, and brings what he has learned to her aid.

another exploration of what happens if Harry gets a bit smarter about the Triwizard when he realises that hostages are going to be taken and fears it is going to be Hermione. Nobody can get at a potential hostage if she's hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, Oh, and there's a lot of potion ingredients to negotiate with Snape. Well-meaning manipulative! Dumbledore. Ron improves.

In which Harry is contemplating killing himself before the Triwizard tournament can do so, and goes to ask Professor Moody's advice ... as soon as Barty Crouch leaves his office. Suicide issues.

The Dursleys did not take well to being threatened by the Order of the Phoenix after year 5, and Harry has a desperate idea and calls upon Kreature to help him fake his own death and disappear. Rated for implicit violence and dark themes. No Ron bashing, irritating Dumbledore.

Vernon gets the smarts when accidental magic in response to a bellow breaks the compulsion to be mean to Harry. He is well sore with the magical world which is making a child soldier by grooming Harry, so he decides to turn the weapon back on them by teaching Harry all he needs to survive.

Harry learned a lot from the Dursleys; how to take care of number one was the major lesson. Distinctly grey! Harry. Combat gardening to be found within. He makes some unexpected friends too, and will you Puffs quit chanting 'Badger! Badger'

Heartbroken, Harry is sent back to the Dursleys after seeing his godfather die right before his eyes. Alone and miserable, Harry turns to the book Luna gave him. He was entitled to a vacation, right? Unfortunately, Harry had forgotten the Harry Potter factor, meaning that if anything could go wrong, it will. Or did it?

In which a smart!Vernon figures out that he and Petunia are being manipulated to resent Harry, and decide to do all they can to teach him everything they can about the wizarding world. Petunia enlists Lily's old friend, Severus Snape, and when the Marauders come on board they love the biggest prank on Dumbledore ever.

When Vernon Dursley goes further than usual, a scandal arises in Privet Drive. However, the walrus didn't manage to complete the job. Severus Snape, chosen by Dumbldore as a replacement abuser, has a small epiphany and sets out to do some manipulation of his own. Rated for the early abuse.

(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.
