Summary
The drive with Vernon was the coldly silent type, this time. Harry stared out the window as the car bore him away from the magical world and felt the numbness begin to creep over him. He hated it here, of course. But what he hated most of all was the feeling of helplessness. He couldn’t do anything. He could only… exist, and wait for the summer to end.
If I could just... vanish, Harry thought idly.
For some reason the idea caught in his mind, like a jagged fingernail on fabric.
I- I really could disappear. One corner of his mouth quirked. I even have the cloak for it.
He pressed his head hard against the car window frame and pretended he was elsewhere. Anywhere else. Forever.

Summary
He sighed, stirring more sugar into his tea. “Exactly how bad is this going to be, Pansy?”
There was a very long pause. “Look. Draco and I are engaged.”
“Er,” Harry said, slowly. “Congratulations? Except, um, you do know -”
Pansy glanced up, looking almost amused. “That he’s stupidly in love with Hermione?”
“I was more going to say that she was stupidly in love with him.”

Arcturus Black III says the wrong thing (or maybe the right thing) to his house-elf, and this changes the future of his family and the Wizarding World.- Language:

Once more with feeling by Mei (Ima1)

Summary
Harry can't say he was exactly thrilled about being thrust into a new world and leaving everything behind, but slowly, sometimes quite so, he carves out his place and makes a new life for himself. That said life somehow includes his long-lost godfather, a team of superheroes, a Norse god for a best friend, and a magical shop that caters to Muggles was not what he was expecting. That he ends up falling in love and getting a new family out of it was even less expected.
He thinks it all might end up being worth it.

Summary
Harry just wants to have a quiet life and get along with everyone. He wants to be normal, and accepted. Being “normal” for the Dursleys yielded great results in improving his standard of living, and as he heads off to Hogwarts he still retains that impulse to keep his head down and blend in. Of course, life isn’t as simple as that, and Harry is a magnet for trouble. And what does "normal" really mean, anyway? The pure-bloods in his group of friends think he should learn more about their culture and religion if he wants to fit in.

Summary
The Elder Wand and its divided loyalties send the final battle back to the last time the Hallows were all united in the same space: Hogwarts, 1946. Alas, temporal displacement doesn't really change much for the prophesied foes. Voldemort still wants to kill Harry; Harry still wants to end the war and go home. Watching avidly from the sidelines of their mis-timed duel, 18 year-old Tom Riddle can't decide whether he wants this mysterious Potter boy to shut up, join his Knights, or snog him senseless.
