He discovers a surprising dark heritage, and develops goals that do not involve vanquishing a certain Dark Lord or becoming the Chosen One. Adopted into the Black family, Harry will fight against the expectation that he is to defeat the Dark Lord and instead dedicates himself to protecting the dark legacy that has been left to him.

Summary
It was the year 1998, and Wizarding Britain was finally beginning to heal from the wounds of the devastating war. Auror trainee Harry Potter was leading his first field operation when he was struck by a Killing Curse. This led to an unexpected encounter with Death, who revealed to Harry that he could turn back time to remedy his deepest regrets.
Unbeknownst to Harry, dark wizarding activities were erupting across Britain, threatening to shatter the fragile peace once more. But who was behind these sinister plots? What were they trying to accomplish? Was it too late to stop them?
Perhaps all the answers lay where Harry was headed...
This is a journey of family, friendship, self-discovery, and, as always with Harry Potter, a healthy dose of world-saving.
Inspired by Tsume Yuki's "Time to Put Your Galleons Where Your Mouth Is" and with her expressed permission, this is the author's fiction re-imagined.

Summary
Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.
They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.

Summary
Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was.

(If only there was someone who understood...)
A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not. -
