    Summary

    Waking up at 12 Grimmauld Place wouldn't have been something concerning except for a few things.

    1. Harry had fallen asleep in the Eighth years' dormitory.
    2. He wasn't even in the right bedroom at Grimmauld Place.
    3. Sirius Black was standing right in front of him, looking very much alive.

    Summary

    Fred and George Weasley might be agents of chaos, but they're also quite brilliant, and more than able to recognize signs of abuse in their adopted younger brother when they see it. Unfortunately, every other adult in the world seems content to ignore it. So, when they reach their own age of majority, they decide it's time to do something about it.

    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    “I didn’t expect you to be an Unspeakable,” Zabini said casually, his tone light but curious as he signed the last line. “Everyone was so certain you’d end up as an Auror.”

    Harry hummed, glancing up briefly before returning to his form. “I was, actually. Did the full training, served for almost five years… then I got bored.”

    Zabini’s laugh broke free this time, rich and surprisingly unrestrained. “Only you, Potter, could find chasing down Dark wizards boring.”
    -
    His heart dropped like a stone as he took in the familiar walls, the thin mattress he sat atop of, the faint smell of dust and damp wood. His chest tightened as realization dawned.

    Finally, his gaze dropped to his hands.

    Small. Pudgy. Child-like.

    “Fuck,” he muttered, his voice trembling as the weight of it all sank in.
    -
    or I sent Harry and Blaise back in the past for shits and giggles
