Summary
The first two nights, Harry sleeps like the dead— or, well, maybe that's not the best comparison, given the number of inferi attacks reported lately.
He sleeps like a log. Like a dead log. An un-re-animated dead log. From an everyday, inanimate, non-whomping tree.
After that, Harry wakes up screaming more nights than not, and he even cries on the bad ones, which makes James cry too. In this regard, James reckons that his first week of parenting a full-grown teenage adult bears an awful lot of resemblance to parenting a newborn baby. He feels both blessed and terrifyingly out of his depth.

Summary
时间是1979年5月，凤凰社刚刚拘押了两个神秘巫师，他们的长相非常像波特和马尔福家的人。自然而然，詹姆·波特和小天狼星·布莱克被叫来辨认这两个莫名眼熟的陌生人，以确认他们的来历和阵营。
（要不是他们的俘虏坚信每个来与他们交谈的人都已经死了，整件事会容易得多。或者他们别花特么半数时间用来斗嘴就也还好办。）
**
“就问他们几个只有他们自己知道答案的问题。”马尔福建议。
“第一次战争里他们每个人我能知道的事，没有一件是哪个老牌食死徒查不出来的。”
“这怎么可能？”马尔福怒道，“他是你父亲！”
“我还是不是个大名鼎鼎的孤儿了？”波特咆哮。Series

Summary
It was a small boy with straw-blond hair and blue eyes and only a few gaping teeth sprouting from his mouth. The sight of him tugged on a dim sense of familiarity in the furthest, most deeply-buried corner of Merlin’s memories. But to dredge up those answers would be to flirt with an oblivion of emotions he was not equipped to process, so Merlin allowed the boy to be a vaguely-known enigma, a marvel in his own right for the mere fact of his existence.
With no small sense of wonder, Merlin dropped some leaves on the boy’s head. He giggled, and then gathered up the leaves and sat down and fashioned himself a crown. The circlet was very wonkily done, and would not have held shape if not for a generous helping of Merlin’s magic, but for some reason he looked at the boy and thought he rather belonged with a crown on his head, even if it was only made of leaves.

Summary
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.
(This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)

Summary
The Boy-Who-Lived is dead and the world has rolled on without him. Voldemort's victory over magical Great Britain is complete, but traces of the war linger on.
Ten years later, Harry Potter is just trying to survive each day as it comes. He knows the rules; he keeps his head down and he does his best to blend in with the muggles. He keeps his magic locked up tight and doesn't stay in the same place for too long.
Harry's not trying to win a war, he's just trying to escape it.
Magic rolled over him, a crackle of heat sliding over his skin and the tinny taste of metal and juniper coating the back of his mouth. It was a crushingly familiar weight, pinning him in place with an iron hand that made a small voice in the back of his head begin to scream, setting his skin prickling and crawling. Seclusion wards, Harry thought, automatic and numb. Walls raised to keep prey in and competing predators out.
