Half the Sunrise

Summary:

The magical attack that causes the death of Harry Potter’s best friend and son, and Theodore Nott’s wife, can be repaired with time travel. Harry and Theo enact the ritual, willing to give their lives as the price—but this is true in the most twisted of ways. Suddenly trapped in a world where they are the only ones who remember what happened and are no longer recognized by anyone, while replicas of themselves replace them in their lives with their friends and families, Harry and Theo wrestle with being strangers to everyone but each other.

    Summary

    Harry Potter is informed in third year that he's technically Lord Slytherin by Right of Conquest since he killed the basilisk. This is very stupid, but on the other hand, if Harry can use it to protect people and solve their problems, he will. (it's still stupid, though).

    Anthology containing:

    Confusion Is Mine, Saith the Lord

    Someone—and Harry might murder them if he ever finds out who—digs something up in old records proclaiming that Harry is not only the Heir of Slytherin as all Parselmouths are, but Lord Slytherin by Right of Conquest after killing the basilisk. Students start coming to Harry for protection and other gifts he can grant them as Lord Slytherin. Harry thinks this Lord business is the stupidest thing he’s ever heard, but all he needs to do is offer them protection and so on without becoming too full of himself. So it’s doable. Hopefully


    Thou Shalt Have No Tournaments Before Me

    Sequel to “Confusion Is Mine, Saith the Lord.” Harry has a great summer, but it seems fourth year is going to be more complicated, what with more people trying to be his minions, the Ministry intent on using him, Quidditch canceled, and revelations coming out about his personal life that Harry doesn’t care for. Oh, and the Ministry wants him to grant permission as Lord Slytherin to hold a death tournament at Hogwarts. Harry doesn’t see why he should do that.


    Of a Sweet Nonsense Unto the Lord

    Entering his fifth year and his third as “Lord Slytherin,” Harry is training with his followers, dealing with an overprotective godfather, combating the stupidity of the Ministry, trying to pass his OWLS, keeping Hogwarts students safe, and practicing Quidditch (Oliver would never forgive him if he didn’t). As if that’s not enough, he also has the Thestral Publicity Program.

    Summary

    Harry doesn't Apparate to the roof of his school when running away from Dudley and his gang, but to an empty Grimmauld Place. The house raises him, with some help from Black portraits, and then Harry happens to everyone else.

    Anthology containing:

    Growing Up Grimmauld

    AU. Harry accidentally Apparates to an empty Grimmauld Place when he’s nine instead of to the top of the school roof when he escapes Dudley’s gang. The house is empty except for portraits and sometimes a speaking wooden face, and Harry has to kill his own food, and there’s something nasty in the cellars, and some of the portraits are mad. But this is still a vast improvement over the Dursleys.


    Harry Happens to Hogwarts

    AU. Harry goes to Hogwarts for his first year, carrying a magical trunk that carries part of the essence of Grimmauld Place with him and secure in Phineas Nigeullus’s promise to have the portraits watch out for him. He’s a bit puzzled by how everyone expects him to act, but, well, that’s not his problem. He has tons already, he doesn’t need more.


    Be Better Basilisks

    Sequel to “Growing Up Grimmauld” and “Harry Happens to Hogwarts.” Harry starts his second year at Hogwarts. There’s a basilisk in the pipes that could really use lessons on how to be a predator, Harry’s Great-Grandpa Arcturus is insisting that he follow boring things like “rules,” and the Albus man is still trying to stop Harry happening to everyone he meets. Meanwhile, Grimmauld Place is trying to teach Malfoy Manor to be a better sentient house.

    Summary

    A series of fics where Harry Potter discovers that he is a stolen Malfoy child in second year, and everything changes from there.

    Anthology containing:

    How Like Hatred

    Harry has learned that speaking in Parseltongue makes some people hate him and others fear him. He had not learned that it would make Draco go straight to his parents and tell them that he has reason to suspect “Harry Potter” is actually his missing twin brother. As far as Harry is concerned, life would be a lot better if he was the Heir of Slytherin.


    A Name Like Henry

    Sequel to “How Like Hatred.” When Harry goes back to school after Christmas holidays as Henry Malfoy, he has to cope with friends, professors, and just about everyone else having an opinion on his new name and appearance. And that’s not to mention his smotheringly overprotective family.


    A Godfather Like Him

    Sequel to “How Like Hatred” and “A Name Like Henry.” Harry comes home for the summer, and it really is a relief to be at Malfoy Manor with his parents and brother—at first. But then he finds out a secret that they’ve been keeping from him, and gets the news that Sirius Black has broken out of Azkaban. Plus he has to go a Mind-Healer. Harry isn’t sure which one is worst, frankly.


    A Year Like This

    Harry goes back to Hogwarts for his third year, after a charged summer with his family. Sirius Black is still out there somewhere, the Ministry thinks it’s a good idea to send Dementors to the school, Dumbledore has things he wants to talk to Harry about, and Harry still doesn’t really know how to react to the notion that his father was once a Death Eater and his mother would literally kill to protect him. Also, Draco is a very, very annoying brother.


    A Path Like Frost

    Harry continues down the path that sees him being both a Gryffindor and a member of the Malfoy family, striving to find and hold an uneasy balance that changes constantly.


    A Darkness Like Fire

    Coming back from the graveyard isn’t simple. Harry struggles to recover as his family, both Malfoy and Black, gathers around him and begins the hunt for the Horcruxes.


    Like Clouded Endless Stars

    Sequel to “A Darkness Like Fire.” Harry returns for his fifth year at Hogwarts, still bearing the burden of having killed someone. The burdens waiting for him at the school may make that one seem small.


    Blood Like Silver

    The Malfoys have destroyed four Horcruxes, including the one in their son, and are beginning the fight against a resurrected Voldemort. Harry and Draco return to Hogwarts in a blaze of rumors. Meanwhile, others lay their own plans.

  5. Summary

    Harry has been having increasingly strange dreams since the end of the war. This leads to a situation where he has to take over the support of a decaying network of Dark Marks and somehow bring some kind of ballast to a world where magic is wobbling wildly out of balance. Theo Nott is promising to help, and it’ll be nice if he can—nicer still if Harry didn’t find him so distracting.
