Summary
What if a saner Voldemort had spent more of Harry's first year observing her than trying to kill her? What if he knew exactly what to offer her the first time she challenged him?
What if a female Harry Potter had learned to fear Vernon Dursley in a way canon Harry never had? What if Harry chose to protect herself when no one else would?

Summary
Weeks before the first letter arrives on the Dursleys' doorstep--before he knows the truth about his parents or Voldemort or anything about the wizarding world--Harry Potter is introduced to a very different kind of magic. There are few places an eleven-year-old can reasonably visit alone but sometimes, if Harry is very careful and catches his family in a good enough mood, he can persuade them to let him walk to the local library. On one such visit, Harry finds himself drawn to a strange book: plain, black cover, unlabeled, left behind on a desk tucked away in his favorite nook as if it had been waiting there just for him. Inside, embossed in shiny green ink, the words A Guide To Magical Affinities start Harry on a path no one imagined he would walk.
Miles away, Azalea Lane, a young foundling witch raised in the muggle world who might have otherwise slipped through the cracks, receives the chance of a lifetime when a bout of accidental magic puts her smack dab in the middle of Harry's life. Together, the two embark on a magical adventure that reveals long-hidden secrets, forages new friendships, challenges perceptions, and ultimately unravels the Wizarding World.

Summary
One summer day, he sees Voldemort on his neighbor's roof. And it all came crashing down.
Armed with a stabbed diary that oddly brings him comfort and a ring that feels important, Harry is ill-equipped for the summer ahead.
On his neighbour’s roof, staring directly at him, was Voldemort.
It would be comical if it wasn’t for the struggling muggle teen in his grasp.
Mockingly, Voldemort held up a scrap of parchment. ‘Surrender yourself, or the muggle perishes.’
Harry ducked away from the glass and got his writing supplies out. He held the parchment to the wall as he wrote, with a quill this time.
‘I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m going back to bed.’
He wiggled it into the corner and left the sight of the window. There was a strangled scream he tried to block out. In bed, he piled his blanket over his ears. Bottom of the line, he needed sleep.
And who was he to intervene? Every damned time he did, the person ended up dead or injured. Cedric, Sirius, and countless other friends had suffered under his supervision.
Harry was done playing saviour.

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
In the middle of their second year, Draco and Harry discover they're soulmates and do their best to keep it a secret from everyone.
Their best isn't perfect.
~
“Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”
Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –
Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”

Summary
How dare she, how dare she want anything lesser than him. He has blinded and ruined her friends, he has turned Andros into a ticking time bomb, he has taken everything from her! Her parents, her planet, her people; everything she lost was his doing in one way or another. How can she waste even a single thought on anyone besides him, how can she desire anything except his defeat. He should be everything to her: her reason to wake up in the morning, the reason for every one of her movements, for every single beat of her heart! She should hate him so much that she needs him, like water, like oxygen.
She should burn for him. Instead she dreams of sunlight and blond little Princes.- Language:

Summary
Bloom Potter's a lot of things - she's stubborn, ridiculously so depending on who's asked, sarcastic, wicked-smart, and incredibly powerful. One thing she's not, though, is a pawn to be played in somebody's plans. Dumbledore probably should've thought of that before he decided to use her in his own schemes.
And, Voldemort? He should've learned his lesson and stayed away.I own nothing, all rights go to JKR and Ignio Straffi

Somewhere along the line, he begins to expect the Wizarding community to fail him – to disappoint and betray him. It’s what they do. He’s prepared for it. But the same can’t be said about his best friends: Ron and Hermione. Except they do too, and it’s the worst sort of betrayal he could have ever imagined. It's the straw that breaks the camel's back, and he's fucking done.
