Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
“Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
“Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
And Lily Potter stepped aside.
Voldemort stared at her.
“... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
“No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
"You belong to me now" he whispered.
And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

Summary
In the chaos of battle, during a duel with Bellatrix, Sirius Black falls through the Veil. Yet death does not claim him. Instead, he awakens decades earlier—fifteen years old again, trapped in the past.
Armed with knowledge of what’s to come and scars no one else can see, Sirius turns to his Uncle Alphard. He’s taught to play the perfect Black heir while quietly shifting pieces behind the scenes. He walks the halls of Hogwarts with ghosts at his side, cherishing each moment with the friends he’s come back to save.
Then, something changes. A new student arrives. Wild curls, fire-bright eyes, and a gaze far too knowing for her age. He knows her.
"Kitten?" he whispers, stunned.
"Siri?" she breathes and runs to him across the Great Hall.
In 1998, the war was lost. The Boy Who Lived is dying, magic stripped in a cruel twist of fate. The Order is shattered. With hope fading, a forgotten ritual is found and a desperate plan takes shape.
Now, twenty-three years in the past, Sirius Black and Hermione Dagworth-Granger reunite to stop the war before it begins. Secrets must be kept. Destinies broken. Fates defied. And maybe, just maybe, love can find its way in unexpected places.

Summary
During the battle of Hogwarts, the night of a full moon, Draco Malfoy is bitten by a werewolf.
With no way to escape the curse, all he can do is hide it.
Hermione Granger is the only one- aside from his attacker- who knows the truth. And it’s only because she was with him when it happened.When they return to Hogwarts for their 8th year, however, that is not the only secret they are forced to share. Because ever since he was bitten, Draco has grappled with an intense and disconcerting need to be around the Gryffindor Witch.
Neither of them like that, which leaves Draco constantly struggling to rein in all of the possessive and protective instincts that assault him when it comes to Hermione.
Will she aid him in hiding the curse? Will they uncover the truth about Draco’s obsession? In the meantime, will they fall deeply and irreversibly in love?
─── ⋆⋅ ☾⋅⋆ ───
The bond made her his. Love made him hers.

Summary
Hermione has her dream job as an Unspeakable in the Time Chamber. During a collaboration with the Death Chamber she is accidentally sent to the past.
A minor setback, if you must.
Of course, she will be back in her own time before anyone can notice. So far, she hasn’t taken a single day off work and plans to keep it that way.
There is only one tiny problem; she is trapped in another witch's body, and their past keeps getting in the way of Hermione’s path to the future.
Or
Sylvia Selwyn was known for being a meek and quiet witch that hid away in the shadows. Boring, some would call her, including her betrothal, or more correctly; ex-betrothal.
All the students at Hogwarts are shocked to see her back after summer with fire in her eyes and a renewed spirit.
Gone is the quiet girl, and no one is as shocked as her ex-betrothal, who thought he saved himself from a dull marriage with an even duller witch.
