Harry Potter and the Chamber of Snake by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book two.
Features: a Harry Potter making a ridiculous amount of terrible decisions; an exhausted Remus Lupin that did NOT sign up for this but by god will he be there for Harry anyways; a Severus Snape who didn't actually think this year could be worse then last year and is proven wrong in a big way; Dumbledore being awful; and Harry's snake Merlin, who just wants to play quidditch ONE TIME.

It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book one, I guess.
Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

Summary
On the fateful night of Halloween 1981, twins Dan and Harry Potter are attacked, while their parents are stunned and left helpless. Voldemort is destroyed, and Dan Potter is thought to be the Boy Who Lived, while the results of a magical test cause everyone to believe Harry is a squib.
Wanting to protect Harry from Death Eaters and the discrimination they've seen many squibs face, Lily and James send Harry to the Dursleys, believing they'd care for and love a "normal" child.
However, Harry is far from normal, and his life is far rougher than the life his parents planned for him. But when six other lonely children enter his world; a friendly, constantly curious boa constrictor with eyelids that's treated as a freak of nature, a bullied redhead, a shy brunette boy mistreated by his family, a Muggleborn girl determined to prove herself in a world that seems to fight against her, a motherless girl shunned for being too "odd," and a blond pureblood determined to abandon his father's path and follow his own, his life begins to change for the better.
But will this band of misfits be enough to stop the oncoming darkness?

Summary
When news had come home that Bill had gotten Ravenclaw, Arthur and Molly had shared a look but sent Bill a congratulatory letter and some newly knitted blue mittens. “He was always too smart for me,” Arthur had said, and Molly had hummed.
“Hufflepuff, it’s a… nice… House,” Molly had said the next year, searching in her knitting basket for a shade of yellow she didn’t dislike too badly while Arthur looked over the friendly little missive from Pomona Sprout. How had she ended up with so many ugly threads? They must have been gifts; she wouldn’t have bought this pastel mustard skein, even at a 90% discount.
“You know,” said Arthur, later, as they watched the Express carry Percy away to his first year at Hogwarts. “I don’t think Perce is gonna be the one to break the streak.”
“So it’s a streak, is it?” Molly said, keeping an eye on the twins, who were chasing pigeons she was hoping they wouldn’t manage to catch. It was making Ginny’s day, though, the little girl covering her laughter with her fists, so she wasn’t stopping them yet.
“I think it is now,” he said.
