1 – 20 of 45 Works in Hogwarts Fourth Year
Summary
When Narcissa sensed the Dark magic surrounding Malfoy Manor harming her unborn child, she left Lucius and sought refuge with her aunt—never realising that this choice would alter the course of the future.
Now Harry has four close friends, a growing crush he doesn’t quite know what to do with, a slayer’s title, a Nimbus 2001, and far too much family history to read.

Summary
When Harry receives the news that he needs to get resorted after his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he thinks his world might end. His life, definitely, because of course he gets resorted into Slytherin. It's what the Sorting Hat had always wanted to do.
But maybe, just maybe, the Sorting Hat had been right from the very beginning. Maybe, Harry's life wasn't over, but it was just getting started. With new friendships made, secrets unveiled and knowledge gained, Harry has to decide if he is brave enough to leave everything behind; and maybe he will gain so much more.

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

Cards On The Table
Harry Potter dies. Not to worry though; Death chucks his Master into a different universe for a second chance.
Follow Harry as he tries to make the most of it, which includes sending letters, waving sticks, climbing trees, and baking one hell of a poundcake.
(Or; getting Sirius out of Azkaban, hiding his extraordinary magical power, destroying horcruxes and - well, the pound cake really is quite something.)
And that's just what happens the year before he goes to Hogwarts.
Fools In A Fable
After a year living in an alternate dimension, Harry is nicely settled in and going to Hogwarts.
It doesn't take him long to realise just how different an alternate dimension can be, though.
But flying by the seat of his pants has always worked out decently in the past, it'll probably work here, too.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

Ante Meridiem
“People don’t always get what they want.”
“But I will.” He breathed, a solemn vow, with the authority and tragedy of Cassandra in Apollo’s temple. “I will.”
Or; Draco Malfoy comes back to Hogwarts carrying the gift of a seer and the weight of a legacy on his shoulders. He learns to take the future into his own hands.
Parallax
“You’re getting lost in the weeds.” Regulus told him, peering at him from behind every mirror in his mind. “You need to focus. Find the garden path.”
Destiny was a garden tended by it’s god. It held many paths for many men. He had seen his garden path in the mirror, in the cosmoscope, the first time he opened his eyes to the future. His path was shadowed, lined with Whitespire Birch; it led places he didn’t want to go. He wanted to keep standing on dry ground with Harry. He wanted Harry to press their foreheads together, so that nothing was hard, and all he could see were Harry’s green eyes.
But it was what he was here for. To see the hard things.
The past, present and future wrap around Draco's neck in a vice grip, a length of rope; and if he fights too hard, he may hang himself on it. With a killer tournament and enemies around every corner, control of his gift is more important than ever.

Summary
Anthology containing:
A Matter of Chance by HollowedWrites (KathH142)
When Harry’s wand gets stolen at the Quidditch World Cup, things go just a little different. A matter of chance. He loses sight of the Weasleys and Hermione and instead runs into Theodore Nott. This is what happens when two abused boys form an unlikely friendship that will, eventually, turn into more. A small chance encounter that would alter plans years in the making and disturb the course of wizarding history.
A Matter of Fate by HollowedWrites (KathH142) & KathH142
Following Voldemort’s return, Harry and Theo must navigate their new relationship as the wizarding world turns on Harry, and visions of the graveyard and the Department of Mysteries plague him. Dumbledore is speaking to Harry and telling him about the Order of the Phoenix’s mission — too bad the Order is as useless as ever. Almost as useless as the Ministry, who have gotten their claws into Hogwarts, ignoring Voldemort’s return and forcing Harry further and further into the political spotlight (something Theo seems to enjoy too much for Harry’s liking). But things can only get better from here, right?

Summary
Harry Potter's fourth year was already off to a miserable start. As if being unexpectedly chosen by the Goblet of Fire wasn't bad enough, now half the school thought he'd cheated his way in. Whispers followed him like shadows, and trust was wearing thin-even among his friends. But just as the tension in the Great Hall hit a breaking point, the doors slammed open with a thunderous crash.
In stormed James Potter. Very much alive. Soaked to the bone, dripping water onto the stone floor, wand drawn and eyes blazing with a fury that made even the professors freeze. Behind him came another figure just as furious, just as bloodied-Regulus Black, unmistakably a Black, but eerily resembling his infamous brother Sirius. The hall fell into stunned silence, staring at the two walking corpses, both smeared with blood and grime, both looking like they'd clawed their way out of hell itself

Harry Potter and the Stupid Fucking Triwizard Tournament by notatakenusername

02 Jul 2025
Summary
“‘...issues an apology for what he has said and done.’” Snape finished, flicking the Daily Prophet shut and looking at Harry expectantly. Did he expect him to get upset?
“Borrrrringgg!” Harry blurted out, as Snape’s gaze fixated into a scowl.
“Boring, Potter? Boring? The most publicized newspaper berating you and talking about your pathetic love life is boring?” Snape sneered.
“Yeah, it kinda is,” Harry said as he fake yawned. “My love life isn't pathetic. I don’t even have a love life. Nor do you, and you probably won’t have one anytime soon if your ego continues to stay the same size as your nose.”
The Slytherins gaped at Harry, a few openly chuckling as Snape’s expression shifted into the constipation™ look. Ron abruptly laughed so hard he proceeded to accidentally knock over the bottle of stinksap onto Snape’s robes.
Harry finally burst out laughing. He really couldn’t help it this time.
Or,
The moment Harry James Potter hears his name come out of the stupid, obese, wine-glass doppelganger, (also known as the Goblet of Fire), he's done holding himself back. Cue the chaos that happens when he gives into his impulsive thoughts.

01 May 2025
Summary
In a world where the lies of the past affect the lives of the present, where Mother Magic is used to control the choices of witches, and where destiny seems determined by birth, Lord Harry Potter must face the inheritance left to him by his father and determine where his true place in Pureblood society lies.

Lord Harry Potter and the Secret Potion by lily_winterwood
Harrison Smith was an ordinary boy, thank you very much. He lived in a flat on a council estate with his mother, he went to school and did his homework, and always left an extra portion of dinner for Mum to have when she got off her late shifts at the local chippie.
Harrison Smith didn’t know his dad. Mum said he’d died in a work accident when Harrison was young. Mum didn’t really talk about it much, but Harrison got the feeling from the photographs she kept that they loved each other very much.
Everything changed on his eleventh birthday, when he found out he was not only a wizard, but also Harry, Lord of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter. Now Harry must begin his first year at Hogwarts, where he will discover new friends and enemies, as well as the numerous secrets that Mum herself keeps…
Lord Harry Potter and the Pureblood Panopticon by lily_winterwood
Hermione suddenly gasped, clapping a hand to her mouth as she drew to a halt. “Harry,” she said slowly, pointing her other hand down the hallway, “is that…”
Harry followed her gaze, and his blood ran cold in his veins. Daubed onto the wall ahead of them, shimmering bloody scarlet in the flickering torchlight, were the words:
MOTHER MAGIC IS WATCHING YOU.
Harry, Lord of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter, returns to Hogwarts for his second year. However, when his fellow students are mysteriously attacked, and all the evidence seems to point to him, Harry must prove that he's not the culprit… before it's too late.
Lord Harry Potter and the Terrors of the Past by lily_winterwood
“How can we help?” asked Harry. “What can we do to clear Sirius’ name?”
Uncle Regulus’ eyes flashed. “You do nothing, Harry,” he insisted. “Given the presence of the Dementors at Hogwarts this year, the last thing your mother and I need is for you to needlessly endanger yourself trying to prove Sirius’ innocence. We need you and Mr Ronald and Miss Granger to stay safe at Hogwarts this year. Can you do that for us?”
Harry and Ron exchanged a glance. It wasn’t as if they went out of their way to look for trouble; trouble just seemed to have an uncanny way of finding them. Still, with Uncle Regulus staring flintily at them from across the table, all the two of them could do was nod.
“We’ll be safe,” said Ron.
“And, whatever happens, you’re not to go looking for Sirius,” insisted Uncle Regulus.
“We won’t,” agreed Harry, “just as long as he isn’t looking for us.”
When the untimely escape of his godfather from Azkaban coincides with a mysterious plot against his Aunt Sevvy, Lord Harry of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter realises that ‘guilty’ in the Wizarding world is relative, and innocence itself has a steep price.
Lord Harry Potter and the Cursed Cup by lily_winterwood
“No,” insisted Draco. “You don’t understand. My uncle had a kill order on Harry and his mother, remember? And not only did they survive that, but now they’ve also revealed that the true culprit behind the former Lord Potter’s death and the 1980 Atrium bombing was a Knight of Camelot. You can probably imagine how cross he is about that.”
“‘Cross’ would be an understatement, if I were Lord Gaunt,” remarked Hermione. She then gasped and grabbed Harry’s arm. “Wait, you don’t mean—that attempt to frame Harry for the Mark—”
“I don’t know what it means, exactly,” admitted Draco, “but I do know that Harry’s life is in danger. So, you Weasels can enter the Tournament for all I care, but Harry—don’t even think about it.”
The Triwizard Tournament has come to Hogwarts. When Harry, Lord of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter, is entered into it against his will, he and his friends must band together to help him survive the Tournament—and figure out why someone would want to enter him in the first place.
