1 – 20 of 20 Works in Alternate Universe - No Voldemort
Summary
When Sirius falls through the veil, Harry chases after him, determined to find him on the other side. Instead, he finds nothing at all. When he wakes up, he is informed by Unspeakables that he is from an alternate universe.
Thanks to his uncanny resemblance to his counterpart, Harry is readily recognized as a duplicate of Harry Potter, a normal fifteen year old boy, and is entrusted to the care of Lily and James Potter. From them, Harry discovers that Voldemort is not, and never was, a threat in this universe.
Now, Harry must adapt to life with loving parents in a peaceful world.

The Adventures of Harry Potter and H Anthology by Thebooklion
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
13 Sep 2026
Summary
Two Harry's, One Draco, No Voldemort.
A full-series rewrite, with a touch of madness.
Anthology containing:
Harry Potter is Mad
Er… So Harry’s Dad wants to keep him home from Hogwarts, even though he really wants to go. Harry does some mad things – like sings songs no one has ever heard of, cries or laughs for no reason, calls himself ‘we’, and – maybe- talks about Voldemort too much. That all seems perfectly normal to me, considering what we’ve been through, but not everyone gets it. If he doesn’t figure out a way to act sane, his dad will pull him out of school and he’ll have to sit around with me all day. He’ll never get to meet Ron, Hermione, or Malfoy, or do anything else a normal pre-teen should get to do. It’s awful, really… I hope he can make it work.
- H, the voice in Harry’s head.Excerpt:
Harry stood in his room, in front of a mirror. He had dressed in his Hogwarts robes; if he was going to do this, he might as well go all in. He also had his wand in his hand, just in case.
Right, so, what do we do? Harry asked H.
Why are you asking me?
This whole ‘practice not being crazy’ thing was your idea, Harry accused, I thought you had some sort of plan.
My plan began and ended at getting you to stop moping around in bed. I feel like I already succeeded.Harry Potter, Basilisk Rider
In my second year, I killed a basilisk, exonerated Hagrid, rescued Ginny, and freed Dobby. Harry is – understandably – intimidated; he doesn’t think he can be as brave as I was. But, when he tries to do things the easy way, everything goes to shit. Instead of being the one to stop the basilisk, he ends up opening Chamber of Secrets. If he doesn’t figure out how to be brave in time, he’ll lose one of his closest friends. I’m cheering for him. - H
Harry Potter and the Squib Squad
All Harry wants is a normal third year. My third year was full of dementors, time-travel, and Azkaban escapees. Harry wants his to be more about Quidditch, school, and girls, apparently. Sounds a bit boring to me – but it’s his life. The only problem is that a bomb is about to go off at Hogwarts, and her name is Cass Black. Nothing normal ever happens around Cass (thank Merlin). If Harry doesn’t learn how to let go, someone he loves will have to bear the consequences. I hope he can pull through. - H
Harry Potter Sucks at Quidditch
I have to admit that some of this is my fault, but all of Harry’s lies are catching up with him. His dad won’t believe anything he says anymore, for starters. But, instead of listening to me and Sorty, Harry keeps solving his problems through deception. If he doesn’t learn to start telling the truth, he’s going to lose the trust of his family, his friends, and even himself. I believe in him. – H

Summary
Amidst the turmoil of his parents' divorce and strained relationship with his father, Harry leans on his best friends Ron and Hermione. They’ve never been anything but friends. The very best of friends – the ones who make things quiet when life is too hard, too loud, too much. Until Ron and Harry have a startling revelation about Hermione, which sets them all on an unanticipated path to redefine love, devotion, and loyalty.
As the three grow closer than ever, a nefarious shadow of threats to Muggleborns begins to spread, and Hermione, Harry's mother, and all magical children born to Muggles are in danger. When it slowly creeps into Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione, and Ron must decide what roles they will play, together and alone, in standing against it.

Summary
"You want- me." Harry blinked.
"Yes." Draco nodded, before catching himself. "Academically!"
Harry bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. Too easy. "You want me academically?"

Draco is struggling in Muggle Studies. He employs the help of one Harry Potter, and it utterly ruins his peace of mind. Not that he's complaining.

Summary
The ground burns beneath his feet, the air crackles when he breathes, lightning strikes at his shout. Harry is something no one has ever seen before. He can do all that a wizard can and more. But no one can help him, no one, perhaps not even Draco Malfoy whose magic is sometimes the only thing that can calm Harry down.
or where, in a world without Voldemort, darkness still exists and Harry has the uncommon ability to channel it in times of distress. Unfortunately for him, channeling this magic does not mean controlling it.

Summary
What if Harry Potter was just like everyone else? What if his parents had died in a car crash all those years ago just like the Dursley's said?

Yet here he is, picking up a stray and facing that moment where he can either be like his father or be true to himself. It's not a contest, but it will be a battle.

Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, P.S. I Love You (2007), P.S. I Love You - Cecelia Ahern
16 May 2023
Summary
Their plan had been a simple one: to stay together for the rest of their lives.
When Harry and Draco met, their attraction was instantaneous. They couldn't be without each other and eloped to marry as soon as they could. They wore each other's clothes. Finished each other's sentences. They were going to be together until they were old and grey. None of their friends could imagine one without the other.
But, on Valentine's Day, 2010, Harry died. Draco was left devastated.
The only light in the darkness is ten letters that Harry has left, labelled with the remaining months of the year.
As the letters are opened, Harry shows Draco that life goes on and that he is much stronger than he ever knew. With a lot of help from his friends. Draco realises that, while his life might be very different from what he'd planned, it can still be special.

Summary
Instead of becoming Voldemort, Tom Riddle established a school of “secondary importance” for Muggleborns, half-bloods, and Squibs. Since the school frees Hogwarts to continue drifting more towards the purebloods’ whims and wishes, they haven’t raised any large fuss. Besides, everyone knows that half-bloods and Muggleborns don’t have any real power. Just look at Riddle, who had ambitions that outpaced his magical strength. They don’t see the revolution coalescing under the surface.

"Yeah. It's actually bloody brilliant, if you think about it. Everyone will leave happy. I'm going to fake date my way into falling in love," James announces grandly, sticking his hand out and waving it through the air like he's presenting a banner.

Summary
Harry Potter was only four years old, but for someone so young, he was very mature. For example, he knew that hitting people was not nice, and when his uncle hurt him very badly, he decided that going on an Adventure was a much more fun idea than waiting around to be hit again.
However, little does Harry know that this one small decision will lead him to so many things—love, family, friendship...
...And a whole lot of trouble.

Hermione hesitated, searching for the words as her throat went dry. “You asked how I knew your name...I know who you are because I’ve seen your picture in the Potter’s cottage thousands of times. There was an explosion, you disappeared from your flat—this flat.”
She took a shaky breath. “You’ve been gone nearly twenty years, Sirius.”-------------------------------
When Hermione Granger couldn’t find anything to fit her meager Ministry budget, she begrudgingly accepted the keys to Remus and Sirius’ old flat, never expecting to find her future in a man who disappeared twenty years before.Shelves: Harry Potter
