    Summary

    “Where is my son, Malfoy?”

    Draco rolled his eyes and entered the living room, finding his favorite armchair and collapsing in it. His book was still open on the side table, marked with a green ribbon. He grabbed it before flicking his wand so his voice echoed over the manor.

    “The unfortunately named Albus Severus Potter is being requested in the living area. If you could please hurry, that would be greatly appreciated. I repeat, this announcement is for the tragically named Albus Severus Potter. Your presence has been requested by the Chosen One himself. Thank you.”

    Potter remained unamused. “Next time my son comes here, I would appreciate it if you would inform me,” he said coolly.

    Draco scoffed, opening his book before fixing him with an incredulous look. “Perhaps,” he said, taking out his bookmark, “and I do mean this politely, Potter, but perhaps you should be the one to keep track of your children.” He flipped a page. “As a friendly suggestion.”

    Or

    Forget everything that happened in the Cursed Child. Albus and Scorpius become friends. Harry and Draco battle the throes of parenthood. They find it surprisingly more effective when they work together.

    Summary

    Suppose Tom Riddle never bothers to show mercy, and Harry Potter dies with his parents? What would that mean for the world, to have no Boy-Who-Lived to save them? ("A couple of stubborn kids" just doesn't have the same ring to it.)

    Year 3: Sirius Black’s escape from Azkaban never actually had anything to do with Harry Potter, and yet.

    Summary

    Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.

    When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.

    "Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.

    Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. “I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”

    “And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort."

    Summary

    “The essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy, is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanize them.“

    After Voldemort wins over Wizarding Britain, Hermione emerges from hiding to undertake a dangerous mission for the now-decimated Order. Using a modified Polyjuice Potion, she adopts a new identity and begins working undercover at the Ministry of Magic, alongside Draco Malfoy.
