Summary
Harry Potter is adopted by a retired chemistry professor causing him to become an accidental potions prodigy. Navigating the world of wizards with a strong home base allows Harry to ask important questions like, 'why don't we learn math?' and 'why hasn't everyone read Hogwarts: A History?' and most importantly, 'Why does everyone treat squibs so terribly?"
____"What would have happened if I didn't bounce? Might've died, I suppose."

So good, so good :D
Marius Black and the other family squibs, all rounded out characters.
Lovely paced tale. Well worth re-reading every time the author posts a new chapter. -

Summary
The only way Harry can get free of those who wish to use him is to agree to an already made betrothal contract created by Dorea Black-Potter. Will this simple thing change the course of Harry's predestined - at least by Dumbledore - future? Will he remain neutral or will he turn dark after he learns everything Dumbledore's done? Will there be a wedding in future for Rabastan and Harry? Can they have a chance of happiness or will the two Slytherins by nature at least, only presume to use one another? NO UNDERAGE BETWEEN THE MAIN PAIRING!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh fun....a brilliant premise and then a loooong meander through trials and tribulations and joys.
Harry and Rabastan, well his father, Corvus, enact a contract. -

Summary
Children’s hair sometimes changes color as you grow. When he’s young enough for it not to be unusual, but old enough to know he’ll get in trouble for doing something ‘freakish’ again, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair.
It changes everything about who he identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily turns out to be a much better influence.
So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet-haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive Hogwarts.Story Discord: https://discord.gg/8b7zt5PBHp

For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.

SO good :)
Harry changes the world, but it works because of his friends who believe in him and work with him. This is such a well written tale; so believable, sound, and worthy of many re-readings :)

Summary
The future is murky and prone to shift. The best laid plans are never fool proof. When Harry woke abruptly to an incredible surge of magical power, the destiny he thought lay before him suddenly changed.
With the looming threat of Voldemort ever present, the future of three of the magical worlds most powerful noble families have been ensnared by the machinations of a different yet just as dangerous enemy. With the support of those who came before him, Harry must uncover the truth behind the betrayals he'd faced, and do whatever he could to make things right.
