    Summary

    “I failed to take Voldemort down and it cost them their lives. - No Remus no. I have this unwarranted, unwanted second chance at life. I am going to destroy the horcruxes. I’m going to make it so the next time he comes he can be killed. No more death, no more loss. Harry deserves more. Better.”

    Regulus had a plan, he was doing his best. He might have lost the plan along the way. He might have lost everyone along the way. This is him trying to make it right,

    Summary

    It’s the first day after Winter break with snow quietly falling outside the large, gothic windows, though you can hardly get anyone to go out into the cold, especially this early in the morning. For the past week, Harry had been trying to scrape together all his supposed bravery that let him get into Gryffindor, and the current peaceful atmosphere of the mid-breakfast Great Hall really isn’t helping his nerves right now.
    “Hey, Hermione?” he casually asks over the buttered toast on his plate he hadn’t touched since Ron put it there. His hands are cold and wet and shaking and he hates it. “Do you think I have any living relatives outside the Dursleys?”
    ***

    Or: what if the Golden Trio decided that fuck it, they are getting Harry out of the Dursleys? Which of course means that they need a way to do that, which results in an impromptu break-in into the Restricted Section, some questionable decisions, and… Accidental Parent Acquisition.
    Because I’m a sucker for Parent Tom Riddle, apparently.
    ***

    HP doesn’t belong to me and I don’t own any of the canon characters or accidental quotes from the book.

    Summary

    Harry has some weird words on his left wrist. That must be one of those strange things that Aunt Petunia hates so much. But it's okay! He likes them.

    Then, it all turns even weirder. Hogwarts, magic, a Headmaster and a Dark Lord await Harry - he would prefer if they all just left him alone, thank you very much.

    But when has it ever mattered what Harry wants?
