    Summary

    Harry Potter is at the zoo on Dudley's eleventh birthday when he runs into a friendly stranger who turns out not to be a stranger at all, but his godfather...and his father's closest friend. How would Harry's first year have gone differently if he had Sirius in his corner from day one? And what if he'd had a crush on a certain bushy-haired know-it-all too? (Harry POV, year 1 AU)

    MOST RECENT UPDATE: Sirius takes Harry to King's Cross, where Harry reunites with Hermione and meets some new friends, too.

    Summary

    What would happen if Harry Potter decided not to be the hero everyone expects him to be?

    Enter a world where magic isn't just about casting spells, but an ancient culture of etiquette, votes in the Wizengamot and forgotten traditions. Harry Potter returns at the age of eleven with the awareness of an adult and a clear plan: to live the life he has always wanted and dismantle the stagnation of the wizarding world in the process.

    No Gryffindor. No blind rivalry with Slytherin. Harry creates a “Study Group” that is actually an elite academy: from Sue Li's duelling sports to Daphne Greengrass's politics lessons, to the rediscovery of Neville's talent. Between a football match with the Slytherins and a critical analysis of Dumbledore's decisions, Harry is building the future. But time is running out, and Voldemort's shadow is not the only danger to watch out for.

    Summary

    Percy Weasley accidentally travels back to 1993.

    This creates several problems, but it's okay, he has a plan. Actually he has 17 plans, unfortunately, the timeline immediately goes off script.

    - Somehow the Weasleys never went to Egypt
    - So Sirius Black is still rotting in Azkaban.
    - Peter Pettigrew is still hiding as a rat.
    - Voldemort is still planning his comeback.
    - Thankfully though Fred Weasley is still alive. (and Percy intends to keep it that way)
    - Also Harry Potter somehow ends up dating Daphne Greengrass???

    Percy would like everyone to know that the last one was not part of any of his plans.

    Unfortunately, saving the future turns out to involve kidnapping children, committing several felonies, emotionally devastating his parents, and consistently reminding his mother he is not her dead brother.

    Things only get worse from there.

    Or:

    Percy accidentally becomes his own cousin, kidnaps the Boy Who Lived, and starts fixing history with increasingly questionable methods.

    Summary

    A journey to follow the young wizard on their path from Savior of the Spiral, to the Scion of Bartleby.
    To watch as they go from bright eyed child, to empty magical host.
    The road of a savior is not one to be envied.
    The path of a stranger plucked from another world, is not easy to walk.
    Trapped between realms and belonging to neither.
