    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

    Nonstop civilian protest duty for over a month, the senate's latest hobby seems to be getting abducted for kicks, and now he had to deal with a camdroid shaped pain-in-the-ass following his every move. The powers that be seemed to think that putting him and the rest of the Guard in some holo was the best way to work up some civilian sympathy. Well, at least there was no way his day could get any worse...

    Summary

    Harry Potter collapsed at the end of the war. He was living in a rundown house with no running water, surrounded by rubbish. That was, until Hermione came and dragged him out by the ear and reminded him he was still alive. That there was life after Voldemort. And he couldn’t live in a house without a working toilet. If he wasn’t going to hire someone, he’d have to sort it out himself. So he stepped into the world of magical plumbing and remembered a school trip to a water treatment plant when he was nine. He fell in love with the intricacies of pipes and water systems. And really, how much could go wrong sticking your wand in places it really ought not to be?

    Or a story in which Kreacher eats crisps, Harry blows up toilets, Hermione takes an unplanned trip, and a whole lot of things become Draco’s problem.

    Summary

    After the war, Harry doesn’t return to the Auror Office. Instead, he builds something quieter—Harry’s Homewards Helpings, a business for magical home restoration, repairing wards and mending the kind of ruins people leave behind.
    When a Ministry project pairs him with Draco Malfoy—now an apprentice at the Ministry Magical Pest Control Office under eccentric Oswald Pritchard—Harry expects awkward professionalism at best.

    But between singing snails, hidden histories, and the slow unearthing of old places and older wounds, something steadier begins to grow.

    Summary

    In the summer before his fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry is drawn to a room in Grimmauld Place. Like the Gryffindor he is, he enters the room without fear. The room is a library, and Harry is surprised to find that he’s eager to learn.

    Then he gets the bad news: he’s been accidentally expelled from Hogwarts, and he needs to be sorted again. Everyone is confident that he’ll go straight back to Gryffindor, but with what he's been learning, Harry’s not so sure.
