    Summary

    Harry wasn’t supposed to disappear. But he did.
    And he didn’t go alone.

    Now three runaways are rebuilding something old and powerful, tucked behind ancient wards and crumbling stone of a much too sentient manor.
    There is hope in the walls, truths in the shadows, and a war still waiting for them just beyond the gates. But here, in this half-ruined corner of the world, they are choosing something different. Peace, power, and each other.

    This is a story about found family, quiet healing, unexpected love, and what it means to stop surviving and start living. Even if the cost is everything they left behind.

    Summary

    The events of Harrie's Second Year have a larger impact than she could have ever anticipated: with Hogwarts and Dumbledore under close scrutiny and Sirius Black on the loose, it is decided that Harrie will be sent to spend the summer in the magical world rather than the Muggle one.

    Finally able to leave the confines of her relatives' house, Harrie is determined to make the most of her summer, one full of fascinating discoveries, complicated family matters, and new friendships. The Harrie that enters Hogwarts at the beginning of her Third Year is armed with powerful knowledge and an abundance of allies who she is starting to trust more and more by the day. The surprising changes implemented within Hogwarts and the many new faces that come with them are just another way for her to gather information and start making her mark on the Wizarding World.

    Between magical gifts Harrie is only beginning to uncover and the everlasting support of those around her, the future of the magical world begins to shift.

    Summary

    "Proofing, also sometimes called final fermentation, is the specific term for allowing dough to rise after it has been shaped and before it is baked."

    Less than a year has passed since the final battle, and the Ministry is already up to its old tricks. Harry would very much like them to stop ignoring due process, tossing people in Azkaban, controlling the press, and menacing the populace with dementors.

    He would also like, if at all possible, to bake a passable loaf of bread.

    Summary

    It was a long shot—an impossibly long shot—but it was all he had.

    Harry lunged for the photo, his bloodied nose dripping crimson onto the paper as he scrambled for something to write with. But Vernon had locked away all of Harry’s things to prevent him from contacting anyone. In desperation, Harry smeared his blood across the photo with trembling fingers, scrawling three words:

    Please help me.

    He signed it with a shaky, almost illegible ‘Harry’ before stumbling to Hedwig’s cage. He flung the door open and shoved the photo into her talons, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. Vernon’s angry bellows grew louder as he forced the door open, splinters of wood flying into the room.

    “T-take it to Professor Snape!” Harry rasped, barely able to speak through the panic and exhaustion.

    Hedwig let out a distressed hoot as Harry squeezed her through the narrow bars of the window. He turned just as Vernon burst into the room, his face purple with fury, his breathing ragged.
