What happens if Harry never makes it to Hogwarts his first year
What happens when he does eventually come he’s different.

Summary
When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.
Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.
Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.
~~~
Or, the one where Harry's life gets split in half, and he has to figure out how to bring it back together.

Holy shit this was one of the best written fanfics I’ve ever read, it absolutely killed me, though. I definitely cried in the last three chapters.

Summary
Harry Potter decides that if wizards can’t win a war properly, he’ll just fight it like the Muggles did. Step one: rob the Dursleys. Step two: buy a pistol in a pub. Step three: hunt Lord Voldemort like a one-man Blitz.
Air-raid sirens, lipstick notes, and Molotov cocktails become the new normal. Death Eaters whisper about ghosts in gas masks. Voldemort remembers bombs that never fell on him — until Harry makes them real.
It’s half horror, half absurdity, and entirely escalation, ending with Harry Potter proving that sometimes all it takes to end a prophecy is good aim, a steady trigger finger, and humming We’ll Meet Again while the Order looks on in horror.

Summary
Harry kills his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the end of 1st year. Somehow, this leads to him traveling through time to the year 1971 and being dropped, alone, into an abandoned house in Cokeworth. He has only himself to rely on, as always, but there is a silver lining: he gets to meet a younger version of his mother, who is apparently best friends with a young Professor Snape. Unbelievable.
Featuring: Everybody's childhood trauma, a lot of pining, and hopefully, eventually, a happy ending :)

Summary
“Then help me. What happened?” He was dangerously close to begging, and he would hate himself for it if he did, but he would hate himself more if he allowed Harry to willingly spill his own blood without any resistance from his part.
“I’m fucking unclean. My blood is dirty, Nott.” The words were spit out like they were venom, poison on Harry’s tongue and before that statement, those words could process in his own mind, Harry was continuing, “There. Is that what you wanted me to say? There. Fine. I had a fucking dream that I was back with the Dursleys’ and they told me that me that I was a dirty-blooded, freak again and I woke up, panicked and tried to-to-”
or Harry's fear of being known fights against Theo's thirst to understand

Summary
This is no fairy tale.
It is a story of revenge carried out by the forsaken, of unseen horrors lurking in the deep of night.
A wraith clings to life, refusing to die, dragging itself back from the brink again and again. And a boy is desperately chasing Death, longing to be held in its loving, cold embrace.
—
Harry doesn’t care about fate or timelines. He isn’t there to save anyone.
… He is nobody’s savior.
No– Harry is there for one reason, and one reason only.
He was there to kill a man.
Albus Dumbledore.
