Summary
Harry Potter was done waiting.
After years of beatings, neglect, and being treated like an inconvenience in his own home, Harry runs away from Privet Drive in the middle of summer—tired of the Dursleys’ cruelty, the silence from those who were supposed to protect him, and the strained, carefully-worded letters from friends who feel increasingly out of reach.
In the heart of Diagon Alley, Harry discovers something that should have been impossible: he is not only the Heir of House Potter, but also the Heir of House Black. Two ancient lines of magic awaken within him—fire and ice, honour and control—binding themselves to him in ways he is only beginning to understand.
When legal magic confirms his emancipation, Harry is offered something he has never truly had before: choice.
Taken in under the protection of a certain Weasley connection—someone far from the Ministry’s reach and far closer to Goblin law than most wizards realize—Harry begins to rebuild his life from the ground up.
And if that so happened to be him resorting himself into a certain green and silver Hogwarts house? So be it.Series

Summary
The first time Harry performs accidental magic at the age of 6, two things happen simultaneously.
First, the toilet, which Dudley had been trying to push Harry’s head down, vanishes with a pop.
Second, a strange boy with fuzzy edges suddenly appears in the cupboard under the stairs, screaming with terror.
Or: The one where Harry Potter grows up with an invisible best friend named Tom - and how that changes everything.

Reached chapter 38 (ongoing)
Tom manifests when Harry is a child as an invisible friend. They grow up as friends and Tom doesn't know who he is. Harry makes friends with Justin Finch-Fletchley and goes into Hufflepuff. He is in the Herbology club with Neville. Snape is much less antagonistic towards Harry, helped by Harry not flying. Hermione dies due to the Troll. First year ends with Harry still facing Voldemort and Quirrell, but Tom uses accidental magic Fiendfyre. Harry gets adopted by McGonagall and Pomphrey and stays with them over the summer. During second year, Tom sees the diary Horcrux and starts talking with him, not knowing who he is. The attacks occur and Harry gets blamed, until Justin is petrified and most people realize he would not do that. Riddle tricked Tom into going to the Chamber of Secrets. Tom went in alone and found out who he is (Lord Voldemort). Riddle planned to kill Tom and Harry, so Tom killed him instead. He made an attempt to help Ginny, but she died. Tom did not tell Harry what he learned in the Chamber. Second year has ended and Sirius Black still escaped Azkaban. Harry is back for 3rd year. Harry likes healing. Snape killed Neville's toad and they are mad about that. Sirius Black just broke in at the Halloween feast. -

Summary
When the world slowed down for a moment, Hadrian allowed himself to think that perhaps the next year at Hogwarts would be uneventful.
But the Ministry of Magic had already made its move, and Hogwarts once again became a chessboard for much more powerful players. The explosion at the Ministry didn't merely shatter stone and glasss but started a new game — one that threatened to drag the entire school into its current, swift and merciless as a raging river.
And the players? All the powerful people justified the means.

Summary
In the world where Tom Marvolo Riddle becomes Minister of Magic and Albus Dumbledore secretly builds a resistance movement, Hadrian Castor Potter, second son of James and Lily Potter, feels alone and deprived of his heritage. Especially when no one believes him and in him. Hogwarts is like a vision of safe heaven but Dumbledore’s obsession with a prophecy grows, and soon political conflict will get more and more hostile.
The perspective of difficult decisions, hard choices and conflicts is overwhelming, and there will be the time when Hadrian would face a point of no return.
Alea iacta est, like said Julius Caesar.

Hadrian is sensitive to magic. His father is abusive towards him. He has an older brother, Charles (Gryffindor), and a younger sister, Anemone (Hufflepuff). He was sorted into Ravenclaw and is friends with Anthony, Michael, and Terry, as well as Theodore and some Slytherins. Hadrian went to a ball during the summer after 2nd year and danced with Rabastan Lestrange. He found out that Sirius is his father magically. In 3rd year Hadrian becomes friends with Zabini. He rescued some younger Slytherins from his older brother's bullying. Hadrian found out he has a Black family curse (the Isolation curse). Hadrian has been distancing himself from Theodore. Hadrian, Anemone, Terry, Draco, Weasley, and Longbottom were on a detention in the Forbidden Forest and got attacked by Rowle and Crouch. Hadrian killed Rowle and recovered at St. Mungo's from magical exhaustion. Hadrian had an episode and the Isolation curse secret got revealed - Lord Black made contact and adopted Hadrian into the Black family. The Wizengamot got Hagrid and Dumbledore in trouble. Hadrian has taken his 3rd year exams and is getting closer with Blaise. Hadrian is living with the Black family and Anemone is living with Dorea. Anemone just got chosen as a Triwizard champion and Hadrian volunteered in her place. Hadrian passed the First Task. Hadrian went on a date with Blaise and got Crookshanks as a pet. Everyone finally rebelled against Snape in class and there is an inquiry. Theodore attacked Hadrian in the corridor. Hadrian threw off the Imperius curse in class, which made Dumbledore and Sirius get involved, convinced that Harry is under a curse. Charles was stripped of the Potter Heir title and it was passed to Anemone. Hadrian and Blaise went to the Yule dance together. The Black family found out Walburga was poisoning Orion and reacted accordingly. Hadrian took memories from Charles about the Order and obliviated him with Blaise's help. Hadrian passed the Second Task, which involved wards and runes. Sirius and Remus tried to ambush Harry in the hospital wing, so he left to spend a week with the Black family. Orion forbade Sirius from contacting Hadrian. Hadrian and Terry are competing in the Third Task together and have teamed up with Fleur and her partner Moulin after realizing there is no good way to escape the maze safely. They eventually escape, but Krum's partner Petkov dies due to the portkey malfunctioning. Hadrian returns home for summer after the end of 4th year. He spends 1 month in Italy with Blaise and goes to a Runes conference. He agrees to get engaged with Blaise. An Order of the Phoenix attacked just occurred in the newspapers. Part 1 is complete. -

Summary
Stricture: old, old magic that prevents any word or action that may reveal the hidden dynamics of the Wizarding World until such a time as a Wizard presents.
Harry has just presented as an Omega in a Wizarding World where everything is determined by your designation and your involvement in a Coven. Omegas might be precious to Covens, but it's not exactly easy navigating life as one. Harry will have to work it out. Piece by piece.

Very interesting, if dark, world. There are covens headed by alphas. Harry is a newly presented omega. He is in a coven with Hermione, an alpha, and other betas: Ron, Dean, Seamus, and Luna. There is another coven with Fred, an alpha. George is an omega. Malfoy is the alpha of another coven. Harry might be partly a seer (his first and second heat). There was an incident with Susan and Zachariah. There was also an incident with George, Zachariah, Harry, and Nott. Susan bonds with Terry. Harry has received a courting offer from Malfoy and the Order foisted a courting offer on him as well from Oberon. Ron stands up for George; Fred and George finally come to a compromise. Susan's mating with Terry and Hannah is not going well, Harry and George are worried. Colin Creevey presented as an omega, he was placed with Stebbins, a 6th year Alpha, and his introduction to the coven went horribly. Harry won the trial against Diggory (trying to force Harry to be a surrogate). George agreed to court/bond with an alpha if Fred courts Colin to get him away from Stebbins. Harry went to Fleur and Bill's bonding and Oberon pushed limits when 'grounding' Harry and made Harry extremely unsettled. Harry no longer wants to bond with him, but is afraid of consequences if he stops the courtship. Harry has found out that Colin and George like each other. Harry tried to stop Colin and Fred's courtship and it didn't work well. Harry encountered Colin being mistreated by Stebbins and interfered and it managed to get Stebbins expelled and Colin moved to a different Coven with Ernie. Theo and Zachariah tried to steal Colin, but Harry took Muzzle and fought them until Hermione and Fred arrived. Neville has been revealed, secretly, to be an omega and joined Hermione's coven, although they are worried about what having 2 omegas in a coven will lead to.
