Summary
Something is alarmingly different about Harry Potter's magic and he's hoping that no one else notices. It is left to him to figure out why before it endangers him or anyone else, and keep it secret from those who'd want to use it for their own purposes.

Summary
Around the time most young children's do, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair. It changes everything about who Harry identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily Potter turns out to be a much better influence.
So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-a-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life and instead of an enemy, he finds a reason to be better than he'd been raised to be. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive at Hogwarts.
And Severus might not make it to see these boys graduate when his heart kept giving out seeing his very-Slytherin godson repeat his own history and go chasing after a green-eyed, red-haired Gryffindor.
Turns out the Malfoys aren't that bad and Dumbledore definitely is. Remus is at his wit's end and Sirius gets a chance to actually live up to his title as Harry's dogfather. Tom Riddle is not prepared for any of this.

Summary
Narcissa was a pureblood supremacist.
Narcissa had a Muggle friend.
These things were both true.Also:
It’s fifth year for Harry Potter, and Malfoy’s eleven-year-old cousin has just started at Hogwarts. When Harry begins to suspect that the girl is actually Muggleborn, he can’t rest until he finds out what Malfoy is really up to.
***
Draco turns out to be a surprisingly good “big brother” and Harry can’t look away. This is a Hogwarts era slow burn with a spotlight on the complicated Malfoy family. Featuring joint detentions, tea parties, one detention tea party, and several very flawed Malfoys who still really love each other. The fic begins with childhood, but most of the story takes place at Hogwarts during Harry and Draco’s fifth and sixth years.
Fic is pre-written, updates on Sundays.

Anthology containing:
And Then I'll Be Free Of The Past
Remus had never thought he'd see Hogwarts again, but here he was, sitting on the Hogwarts Express on his way North. Everything was different now - his three best friends, dead, and the fourth...well...it was better not think of that, wasn't it? Except he had to, now that Sirius had escaped Azkaban and was apparently trying to break into Hogwarts because what if they'd been wrong?
What if, indeed...A Dream of Time
Harry comes to live with his godfather and Sirius is delighted - things are finally falling into place. But between dealing with his own past, mysterious dreams of Voldemort, the Triwizard Tournament, and Dumbledore's secrets, it's hard to enjoy his new-found freedom.
The Thing With Feathers (That Perches In The Soul)
Some might say that it was just another year at Hogwarts but Draco knew better. Things had changed. With the Dark Lord's return, he would have to make a choice. It was clear what his father wanted him to do, what his mother didn't want him to do, but what did he want?
That, he thought, was a question he needed to answer for himself, and soon, because time was running out.***
“You will have to be smart,” mother had said, “Smart and strong,” while she had pulled him into a tight embrace, her voice barely a whisper in his ear, “My little dragon.”
When she had stepped back, her face had given away nothing of the fear Draco knew she was feeling, not that he had expected it – she was a Malfoy and a daughter of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, showing weakness was a death sentence.
“I expect only the best of you, Draco,” his father had said, his voice distant and his eyes cold.
“Yes, father.”
His best would never be good enough, Draco had accepted that a long time ago, though it had never stopped him from trying, but maybe this year…Shoulder To Shoulder, Hand To Hand
"The son of a Death Eater will be staying with you for the duration of the summer." That's how it starts.
Harry returns home, only to find none other than Draco Malfoy waiting in the living room, looking at the bookshelf, but perhaps that should be the least of his worries - a Death Eater within Hogwarts is planning the death of Albus Dumbledore, the secret about Voldemort's survival is revealed, Harry finds himself surrounded by old and new friends, and then there is Malfoy, who is nothing like Harry expected, making him question everything he thought he knew about the blond.
Not in a million years could Harry have predicted how it would end.Shelves: Harry Potter

Summary
What matters most to Lucius Malfoy is his family, and what matters second is power. He secures both when he decides to aid the Light at the end of the First Wizarding War.
His decision doesn't change the ultimate fate of the Wizarding World, but it creates better lives for his family, and it opens new doors for many others, too.
Most importantly, however, is the impact this new life has on his son, and how it improves his childhood.Shelves: Harry Potter
