Summary
Harry Potter has always known he was different from the Dursleys, but when he meets Death at the age of nine, he learns of an entirely new world. A magical one. He knows to expect a letter from a magical school, and is happy to learn that when Professor McGonagall shows up to deliver it personally, she has no intentions of ever sending him back to the Dursley home and instead informs him of his birthright as an heir not only to the Potters but also to the Blacks. Now with a home of his own, although plagued with a yapping portrait and a scowling house-elf, Harry finally learns what it means to be free, and he begins his schooling. However, Harry quickly discovers the magic he uses is not like that of his schoolmates, but something else entirely, something old and forbid-den in Britain, and he has to hide away his true self to not rouse any suspicions.

Harry Potter uses old magic, considered dark, he’s slightly bookish, unhinged and weird. During his fourth year at the Triwizard tournament an obsessive Durmstrang student seems infatuated with him, and he can't tell if becoming closer with this boy will make him happy or lead him directly to hell. -

Summary
Tom knows from the moment his magic pulsed in his left wrist that they’re here, and it is only due to his phenomenal self-control that he does not break into a run. Instead, he walks briskly, wild eyes glued to the flashing radar on his arm; on the dot that is drawing closer to the center of the circle, closer to him—
His eyes land on a familiar figure standing in front of the orphanage; haloed by the setting sun. Tom Riddle’s mouth dries, and his heart almost leaps out of his chest.

Summary
“You want me to go back, professor?”
“It’s not a matter of want, my boy. I simply believe that in returning, you may ensure that Tom is vanquished for good. But of course, if memory serves me well, as it often does, your choices so far were made for the betterment of our world. If you choose, instead, to go on, then who am I to stop you?”
“I think I’d like to… go on. See what it’s like. I can always come back, right?”
“My boy, I believe there is very little you can’t do at this point,” Dumbledore says. Then, after several beats, he asks, “Harry, what are you doing?”
Harry’s steps halt at the entrance of the train; his arms warm from the bundle shaking in his arms. He looks down at the fragment of his nemesis; repulsive and pitiful. “I don’t know. But I can’t just leave it here, professor. I can’t.”

Summary
Harry Potter shows up at Hogwarts very differently than anyone is expecting.
Harry honestly couldn't care less about other people's expectations of him as long as it doesn't impede his newfound freedom or all the color he has found for himself.
Oh, and Harry was sorted into Hufflepuff creating a world of problems for one manipulative headmaster.
But what is wrong with Harry Potter's head? -

Summary
After the war takes Ginny and leaves Harry adrift, Hermione suggests the Ministry's new Magical Breeding Program—a last-ditch effort to restore the wizarding population. At eighteen, Harry applies, desperate for purpose and someone to love.
Two failed matches later, he withdraws and spends his early twenties finding himself. At twenty-two, he tries again.
His third match is Severus Snape.Neither expected this. Both want the same thing: a child to love, to protect, to give everything they never had. What starts as an awkward arrangement becomes something neither of them anticipated—a family, built from the ruins of war.
