Some investigations in the true performance of his classmates starts Harry on a different path. After all, he was really curious what reason his best female friend could have to try so hard to make people believe that she was the smartest witch. No pairings

A year after Dumbledore, Black, the Lupins, and Harry Potter's parents revealed themselves to still be alive after the end of the Second War, Harry decides to get his revenge on them by inviting them to Rita Skeeter's new talk show so they could reveal themselves to the world as they really were and bring themselves down. On the set, the Wizarding World gets an unexpected surprise.

Edith Potter's life with her abusive family taught her two things. First - the only language some people understood was violence. Second - fear only lasts a generation; kindness lasts forever. The Girl Who Lived returns to magical Britain a cynical visionary; drawing in allies from all four houses for an end game neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort anticipated. Dark!Fem!Harry

It's been said that little things can change the world, and they can. But then, so can big things. This is the story of the big things that happen when Ron Weasley meets his mother's cousin, the Accountant they don't talk about. Ron learned that there is more to life than magic. Sometimes a skill gained by accident is all you really need to change the world.

The summer prior to 6th year Harry deals with Tom in a decisive, if accidental manner. That summer Harry gets a girl friend in Susan Bones, and sets about some self improvement. It is after this change to himself he discovers something a bit disturbing about the Wizarding World, something that Hermione Granger is determined to use to her advantage.

AU Third Year: He spent twelve years in hell for a crime he did not commit. Sent there without the courtesy of a trial. Betrayed by his friends and allies. Now he has broken out. He will find and catch that rat and then, they will pay!

When he learns that flying anywhere near a Dragon is a recipe for suicide, Harry tries a last minute change of tactics, one designed to use the power of the Bureaucracy forcing him to compete against itself. Little does he know that his solution is its own kind of trap.

What if the horcrux in Harry's scar hadn't quite been as contained by the Blood Wards as Dumbledore planned. Rather than twisting Harry's personality, it darkened his aura. And the dark creatures of the magical world really liked that aura. Gee. Sucks to be a Dark Lord trying to make your comeback. VERY AU. Just for fun.

Hagrid wins a dragon egg...only what is inside is no dragon. Harry is the first to make eye contact with the creature inside...and ends up with a most unusual familiar. Watch out Hogwarts...things are about to get prehistoric!

Harry doesn't want to go back to the Dursleys, and is willing to do anything to make that happen. He finds help in unexpected places, defying Dumblore without even trying.

Pure-blood Culture: Heir Regulus Black is not a simpleton. Lady Harriet Potter is not Heir James Potter's sister; she is, however, his daughter from the future.

Every child is told 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'. No one realises how valuable this advice is until it's too late. An attempt at Ginny bashing. Little bit humorous but mostly just 'cause the girl annoyed me as well as the people who bash her without style. Let's see if I've got it.

COMPLETE. OneShot. NOW HIRING: COMMITTEE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF DANGEROUS CREATURES. PostOotp. The summer after Harry's fifth year, Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, must deal with an interesting end to a boring day.

One-shot. Harry suspects the Second Task will involve hostages, but he still can't find a way to breathe underwater. In his desperation, what other options might he devise?

In which Harry Potter learns that friends can be made in the unlikeliest places...even in your own head. Alone and unwanted, eight-year-old Harry finds solace and purpose in a conscious piece of Tom Riddle's soul, unaware of the price he would pay for befriending the dark lord. But perhaps in the end it would all be worth it...because he'd never be alone again.

Time and time again the Bad Guys do bad things and get away with it. Time and time again the Good Guys take the low blow and just soldier on with their upper lips stiff. What might happen if someone couldn't hold it together? How would Magical Britain react? More to the point; who would they blame? A little One-Shot in documentary style.

COMPLETE. Two years after defeating Voldemort, Harry falls into an alternate dimension with his godfather. Together, they embark on a new life filled with drunken debauchery, thievery, and generally antagonizing all their old family, friends, and enemies.

When you're a Black, you're a Black and nobody gets to hold all the cards except you. Not a Dark Lord with a grudge, not a Headmaster with a prophecy and certainly not the world's most influential Mafia Family... Dorea is as much a Black as a Potter and she is not about to let anybody walk over her! A Fem!Harry story. Slow Build.

A continuation of the world of Honor a Hufflepuff. Harry Potter takes up his seat in the Wizengamot before his fifth year.

Harry Potter has decided that the late Cedric Diggory needs to be honored, not forgotten.

Getting through the Snape's hazard at the end of first year showed that wizards didn't have much in the way of logic. A much cooler Sphinx in the Third Task of the TriWizard Tournament could have made for a much different experience for some. Not to be taken seriously, this is definitely AU and more than a bit OOC. But the Sphinx is cool. Luna said so.

Investigation into the disparity in grades in Defense Against the Dark Arts after Harry Potter's Fifth Year results in a little extra cash for Harry Potter

The Sorting Hat (or Brian to his friends) has had enough of being told by Albus Too-Many-Names Dumbledore exactly how certain new students should be sorted. For once, he's going to take matters into his own, um, hands? The incoming class of 1991 isn't going to know what hit them. Get ready for a Sorting like no other! One Shot.

When a few inappropriate questions derail the meeting at the Hog's Head, Harry lets the situation play out. Eventually, he refuses to commit his free time to teach a bunch of easily distracted fools. - Set during fifth year; Harry/Hermione

ABANDONED/RE-WRITE IN PRGRESS - 4th CHAPTER POSTED. TITLE: A FUTURE UNSEEN Umbridge goes a little further in her interrogation so Hogwarts wakes up to combat the threat the Ministry poses. Hogwarts choses her own Headmaster, someone capable of bringing the changes needed to survive. No-one saw her choice coming ... least of all Harry Potter.
