    Summary

    When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.

    The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.

    This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.

    He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

    Summary

    “Your robes are…red,” Hermione finally said, strangely accusing.

    “Burgundy!” Severus protested. Red was tacky. Burgundy, however, had class.

    “And what did you do to your hair?” she asked in horrified fascination.

    Snape’s hand rose to his scalp.

    “Nothing! What is wrong with you? I just washed it and blow-dried it like every morning…”

    “Ah, I see.” She nodded and stepped back. “Alternate dimension. It must be.”

    Summary

    It was over. Harry had done it. Voldemort was dead. The death Eaters had backed down. He looked up catching sight of platinum hair. Draco and his mother had helped in the end. The light probably would have lost if not for them. Harry caught his eye and smiled. Draco returned the gesture with a nod of his head. As he turned to walk back to his mother a blur of red crashed in to him. It was Ron with Draco's wand in hand pointed at Harry. Next to him stood a smirking Hermione and before he could say a word, a flash of green hit him.
    or
    Harry goes back to the end of his second year and attempts to act normal. unfortunately it doesn't go to plan.
    ****

    This is your generic harry goes back in time with a chip on his shoulder and gets a redo. Harry has a lot of noble titles that tie in to the lore i am building. There will be a lot of lore in this fic. It is not romance oriented but depending on how things go there may be one in the future, but it is in no way decided.

    Summary

    When the Ministry informs Harry that they are coming to destroy his wand for defending himself from the dementors that attack him in Little Whinging, Harry knows there's only one path left available to him. He can survive on his own. He knows how. It won't even be that hard. And being on the run in his animagus form makes him a feel a little closer to Sirius, anyway.

    At least, he thinks so, until he's picked up by a pet store, sold to a classmate, and brought right back to Hogwarts where the state of things is so bad that he's actually glad he's expelled.

    Summary

    A single flap of a Butterfly's wings can cause a thunderstorm on the other side of the world. Or, rather, a single interpretation of a phrase can save a whole lot of people, especially if that interpretation is made by a particularly stubborn house-elf.
    ***
    Arcturus Black III says the wrong thing (or maybe the right thing) to his house-elf, and this changes the future of his family and the Wizarding World.
