Summary
Some truths refuse to stay buried.
***
What starts as a simple “Harry is a Malfoy” twist explodes into the story of Castor Malfoy—a creature-loving, rule-defying wizard making waves in the Triwizard Tournament and beyond. With a family he’s only just met, friends both human and not, a stack of jobs, and more secrets than he knows what to do with, Castor’s life is anything but ordinary. But in a world where lies travel faster than the truth and even a Dark Lord can’t decide whether to fear him or use him, one thing is certain: history will remember both his names.
***
Mostly canon until the Goblet of Fire, aside from the whole kidnapping thing.

Summary
Ron paused, then half-grinned, nudging him. “Honestly, I still have no idea what kind of posh nonsense brought you two together as kids. You and Malfoy? You’re like night and day. That’s what we call you in the Tower, you know.”
“It’s… a long story,” Harry said, grinning back. “One that involves spaceships, a toy, and Muggles.”
Or: Harry meets Draco before Hogwarts.

Summary
If newborn dragon hatchlings are abandoned for any particular reason (the mother could've been killed, certain species of dragons bury their eggs in the sand to fend for themselves once they hatch, etc), they will immediately adapt to the environment so that their chances of survival are guaranteed. This can mean burying themselves even further into the sand, becoming invisible, or even shapeshifting.
Or alternatively:
Harry is a dragon. No one knows. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Snape rolled his eyes. "You're not scared of blood, Potter. For one, you're a Gryffindor. For another, you seem to face down the Dark Lord with alarming regularity. If you were afraid of blood, you wouldn't have made it past your first year in this castle."
"What do you want me to say?" Harry shouted, suddenly filled with the same irrational anger that'd been so hard to shake since Cedric's death. He jumped to his feet, unable to sit any longer. "What would you have me do? I couldn't make myself break skin, okay? Is that so hard to believe?"
--
Or: a potion requires blood as an ingredient. Harry's afraid of a relapse. Snape just wants to know why Harry Vanished a perfectly decent brew. They come to an understanding.

Summary
There's a lot of what if's here, so let me just present this complete alternate universe:
Harry Potter somehow manages to be raised in Norway and ends up going to Durmstrang. Against all odds, he manages to have a summer fling with Draco, both thinking the other is a muggle. Then he manages to enter a deadly tournament at another school from across an entire ocean.
Now, how the hell did he manage all of that?
Or,
Draco Malfoy questioning everything he knows because he thinks Harry is a gorgeous muggle.

Summary
"Death"
"You are finally ready, I see"
"Ready for what?"
"To live"
"Wasn't I doing just that?"
"Were you?"Harry had no answer.
(Perhaps that was answer enough. Or perhaps Death just enjoyed being cryptic. Hard to say.)
___{Time-travel AU. Watch as Harry is yeeted into the past, bullies the wizarding world into making sense, and absolutely refuses to follow Dumbledore’s script. Features excessive worldbuilding (someone's gotta fix this mess), slow-burn romance (because trauma-bonding is hot), and a protagonist who treats destiny like Terms & Conditions—unread and promptly ignored. Happy ending optional, sarcasm mandatory.}

Summary
Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, but his parents still died, and Albus Dumbledore, concerned that Death Eaters might seek the boy’s death, cast a powerful charm on him to make wizards ignore him before Harry was left with the Dursleys. Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was far too powerful, and made others essentially forget Harry existed when not directly interacting with him. Sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, Harry lives a contented life with no one either loving or hating him…until the charm breaks on his seventeenth birthday, and he’s suddenly plunged directly into the middle of a living world at war.

Summary
Harry is not going back to the Dursleys. He has been out of the cupboard for a whole year; he's not going back in. It's tricky - he doesn't really want to have to explain to anyone. But he's magic now! He has an invisibility cloak! And he's had a lot of practice lying still and pretending he doesn't exist. So he can definitely hide out and avoid being put back on the Hogwarts Express, right? Nothing can go wrong with an eleven year old by themselves for 9 weeks in a wild, magical castle, can it?
Comments give me a big boost and although I am terrible at replying, I do read everything! :)

Summary
Being able to turn into a dragon is not all its cracked up to be, not when Draco has to navigate an increasingly fractious Hogwarts, Death Eaters, and anti-Death Eaters—and lead his Slytherins to safety through all of it.
And if Potter becomes one of his Slytherins, then he’ll have to...treat him nicely too.

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? (you should be) by Snoweylily

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
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
Emotion was building in Harry’s throat. “This is very interesting Draco,” he admitted, aiming for casual but knowing the shaking of his hands was giving him away, “but how do we get back?”
Draco’s face crumpled. “I’m sorry Harry, there is no way back.” It was like a bell had been struck inside Harry’s head - all he could hear was ringing. “There’s no where to go back to,” Draco moaned. “He wasn’t just trying to travel in time - he was trying to obliterate his own.” Draco choked on his tears. “There’s nothing ahead of this to travel to yet Harry.” He let out a few more hiccuping tears before finally suppressing his noises of pain. “There is no going back,” he whispered.
—
Harry had known working at the Department of Mysteries came with risks, but he never would have expected it to destroy his entire life. Now, trapped as his 14 year old self just after the resurrection of Voldemort with Draco Malfoy for company, they must try and figure out how to move forward.
