Summary
To Harry,
By the time you get this, I’ve most likely passed into the Great Beyond. It’s what I get for working as an Unspeakable, but don’t worry! I loved every minute of it—and honestly, that’s probably a lot more minutes than you realize. If I’m still alive, though, we should have tea tomorrow. Assuming this arrived at its intended time on your 55th birthday.
Harry Potter was supposed to be done.
He had survived Voldemort, the Ministry, the press, several educational disasters, and far too many adults with plans.
Thrown back into 1991 with all his memories intact, Harry decides he has absolutely no intention of following the script. Privet Drive is first on the chopping block. Gringotts is next. After that, he'll need Remus Lupin, Hermione, Ron, and one boa constrictor with delusions of grandeur.
Harry knows the future.
Unfortunately, the future knows how to bite back.

Summary
A station of iron and steam.
An echo meets the original and learns how to end.
A knit cap rides north and does not come back down.In a school that prefers to be exalted, a boy practices the Temple’s oldest courtesy: be correct, be dull, be everywhere during the moment it mattered. He chooses the serpent’s bench, writes in green, but keeps red behind his ear or braided flat when fire is near.
The year arranges itself like a ledger written in a careful hand: entries of breath, shadows that return a different length, doors that like statements, a corridor that refuses drama if you thank it. A scholar who stammers in daylight smells wrong in silence. Keys forget to fly. A chessboard decides not to move. A mirror tells the truth no one should live in. Somewhere above the third stair, stone pays attention to the time you choose.
Nothing loud happens until it has to. The prize everyone names in legend never stands on a stage. It changes owners by procedure and goes where fire is kinder than greed.

Summary
Voldemort knows not the power of love? Seriously, Albus... One might read minds and still suck at reading people.
Tom Riddle had the time of his life becoming Voldemort.
His road — from the intense, multi-talented teen we all love to the unforgiving Dark Lord they all fear — was paved with a god complex, good intentions and the inconvenient mistake of falling in love with a Muggle.
------
Tom Riddle leaves Little Hangleton with his father’s coat, his mother’s history, one less illusion, and the increasingly dangerous problem of being loved anyway.
On how all the power of love and friendship in the world won’t stop the rise of the new Dark Lord once he has made up his mind.Series

"I- I- Lily, listen to me. Listen to me, please-"
"There's nothing more we can do."
"He will kill you!"
"Then he'll kill me, Severus!"
"Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."
"Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"
"I don't want you to die!"
- The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

Summary
"I just wanna stop the scars that grow. Every time that I go home. Thats why I came up here instead. That's what the boy in the cardigan said."
Harry is tired.
Tired of the ache.
Tired of the questions.
Tired of the pitying glances.
Tired of the emptiness.
Tired of life.~
He doesnt know how he got up here. He doesnt remember his feet taking him. All that matters is he has a choice. He could keep walking, let his feet slip off the edge and let the wind take him. Or he could stay.
But staying meant more bruises. More pain. More scars. More hiding. More lies. More emptiness.
Harry doesnt want that. He makes up his mind. Then, the door creaks open.
~
"Ive been taking lots of drugs, cause they teach me not to care. Yeah I guess that's how you cheat, because life doesnt play fair."
"My brother told me that he's gonna kill himself tonight."

Summary
For fourteen years, Harry Potter has been raised to die.

Now hunted by heroes and monsters alike with only a bitter and lonely potions master for support, Abaddon will do anything to keep Harry alive even if it means burning the world that tried to sacrifice him

Summary
Remus Lupin was five when he became a werewolf. He thought that he'd never find love, but then he met Sirius Black, and all that changed.
Sirius Black was one when he became an older brother. He swore he'd do anything and everything to protect him, but as time tore them further and further apart, he began to be drawn to the allure of Remus Lupin.
James Potter was eleven when he became Sirius Black's soulmate. He never would have dreamed doing anything to hurt him, but as a dark-haired Slytherin began to cloud his vision, he found it harder and harder to remember where his loyalties lay.
Regulus Black was eleven when he lost his brother forever. He was sure that nothing could compare to the love he had felt for him, but then he caught a glimpse of the sun, and he was determined to hold on even when it burnt.
Regulus was 17 when he drowned. James was 21 when he was murdered. Sirius was 21 when he was sent to prison. And Remus was 21 when his world fell apart.

Summary
I'm really bad at writing summaries but I can say that this is a series rewrite starting with Harry actually getting his first Hogwarts letter and then running away from the Dursleys. Oh, and what if the adults actually did their jobs?
This will include multiple animagus forms, duelling, politics, and mini-harems, and an independent Harry!
Ok, I've been told I should clarify....by mini-harem I don't mean Harry has four wives, I mean five people in a fully-equal relationship.
