    Summary

    After a year spent safe in Grimmauld Place, Harry returns to his sixth year at Hogwarts as the Wizarding World begins to darken, burdened with the knowledge that its future rests on his shoulders. Determined to understand his connection with Voldemort and driven to learn his own family history, he continues his search for answers. It takes him further than he ever could have imagined.

    "You were born into a turbulent time, and brought that turbulence with you too, and lived within it, and caused it, an eternal cycle. A harbinger of changing days, that’s what a cast like this means. The axis on which the world will turn.” - Theodore Nott.

    Summary

    Harry is suspended in the summer before fifth year. Grimmauld Place may seem an unlikely refuge, with an erratic lord and a malicious house elf and a tendency to change when night falls. But a year away from Hogwarts offers opportunities, and Harry begins to learn what it means to be a ward of the House of Black.

    'Magical families deal with the dead differently. The Potters bury theirs which is more of a statement than you’d think. It says ‘our kin are safe in the ground, we trust they will not rise’ - words your grandfather once said to me by the way, not something I just made up for dramatics. Other families don’t have such confidence.' - Sirius Black

    Summary

    After the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry is alone and struggling to find a way to hang on to his sanity when an unexpected boon walks into his house and kidnaps him to Gringotts. The Most Noble House of Nott is attacked and Theodore is left with nothing but ashes, a single gemstone, and the burning fire of something bigger than himself lodged forever in his soul. Lucius Malfoy suffers a momentary lapse in sanity and raises his wand against the Dark Lord. The lines between light and dark, good and evil, blur together and disappear entirely. All the while, Harry goes searching for who "Just Harry" is and keeps coming back to a dark-eyed Slytherin he never thought he'd call his friend...

    Summary

    Harry Potter is Voldemort’s horcrux. This doesn’t really impact his life until the first time he meets Voldemort face-to-face. Well, face-to-back-of-Quirrell’s-head-face.

    Harry learns he can burn Quirrell’s skin with his bare hands. He knows this is his only opportunity to both survive and save the Philosopher’s Stone. What he doesn’t realise is that by willingly placing his hands on Voldemort’s wraith’s host, he opens himself up to possession.

    It isn’t Voldemort’s first choice to possess his fated vanquisher while still weak, but a key magical principle is “like calls to like”. He will do whatever it takes to get his body back… and own Harry Potter afterwards.

    What happens during Harry’s school years while unknowingly pulling Voldemort along as a passenger?

    Summary

    On the 2nd of May 1998, Britain was freed from its tyrant. Dozens fell in the fight for equality, justice and freedom. Dozens died in vain. For when technology triumphs over magic, Muggles attempt to wipe mages out, exactly as the Dark Lord had foretold.
    On the 4th of March 2007, Magical Britain ceases to exist.

    Desperate to undo the damage, Harry travels back in time to prevent Voldemort's demise.
    Only, things don't quite work out as intended, as he ends up being reborn in a world not entirely like his own with a tattoo of a red eye on the back of his hand.
    As small changes have a habit of doing, every distorted detail quickly snowballs far beyond recognition.
