    Summary

    In a world bound by prophecy and ruled by fear, Albus Dumbledore stands at the center of magical Britain’s power. He is untouchable, revered, and unquestioned. His legend is law. His failures are buried beneath myth.

    But in the shadows, there are those who remember.

    Cygnus Greengrass, aristocrat and master strategist, once dared to challenge Dumbledore’s dominion, and paid dearly for it. Years later, he sees in Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, not just a weapon, but an inevitability. A force preordained by prophecy itself.

    With Harry about to begin Hogwarts, Cygnus gives his daughter Daphne a single, dangerous instruction.

    Befriend him.

    What happens when Harry’s raw, untamed power, nerve, and moral certainty collide with calculation, ambition, and a buried hunger for justice over betrayal, loss, and lies told in the name of the greater good?

    Harry Potter and the Machiavellian Candidate is a sweeping reimagining of the Wizarding World. It is a political thriller, a prophecy-driven epic, and a meditation on power, love, and what happens when a symbol becomes a movement.

    Summary

    Harry, having grown up a little more rough around the edges than Dumbledore would have hoped for, decided to embrace the part of himself that the Hat said would do well in Slytherin. But instead of letting it sort him amongst the snakes, he decided to do it his way—by using the foolhardy bravery that Gryffindor was known for to hide the cunning he kept close to his chest.

    Harry begins his journey into the magical world, unknowingly following his parents footsteps far closer than anyone could have expected. Of course, to be able to notice this, people would have first had to have known the path his parents actually took. Hidden heritages and unexpected inheritances lead to chaos as two generations of marauders come together to save the world from the havoc created by prejudice and ego.

    The title comes from the saying "if you can't blow them away with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit".

    Summary

    Harry Potter is a Slytherin. Harry is also very good friends with Draco, Ron, and Hermione and this started as me writing them as Marauders parallels and slowly dissolved into chaos (as in: I got too into the worldbuilding and this is now my passion project and has been for over two years)

    Summary

    “You don’t have to believe me. I’m sure we’ll see what really happened anyhow.” Fenrir says. “For if I’m right then Lady Magic herself believes that a great injustice has occurred and is trying to set things right.” Fenrir murmurs. There’s silence for a moment before the room goes up in absolute uproar at his statement.

    “What do you mean Lady Magic?”

    “She doesn’t exist!”

    “What the hell is going on?”

    “This isn’t happening, maybe I’m just dreaming.”

    “Let’s hope we wake up!”

    “Enough!” Harry roars, eyes glowing green as he glowers at everyone. The room goes quiet, and they stare with wide eyes at the sixteen year old as he inhales ruggedly, trying to calm himself. “There’s no use bitching about this. It’s clearly happening. All we can do now is sit and wait until Lady Magic shows herself.” Harry says, glaring at anyone that dares open their mouths to protest.

    Summary

    Regulus Black is fine. He is perfectly fine. He has three broken ribs, a disowned brother, and a mother who enjoys the Cruciatus Curse a little too much, but he is fine.

    His plan was simple: Keep his head down, take the Mark, and fade into the background. He didn't plan on becoming an illegal Animagus, befriending a werewolf, or falling in love with his brother’s best friend.

    Meanwhile, Remus Lupin is trying to figure out if Sirius is dead or just dramatic, and why the younger Black looks like a ghost. They are two sides of the same coin: keeping secrets to protect the people they love. But while Remus has found a pack to ground him, Regulus is drifting out to sea.

    But James Potter has a nasty habit of finding things that don't want to be found. Now, Regulus has to decide if he’s brave enough to step into the sun, even if it burns.

    OR: The Black brothers compete for the title of "Most Emotionally Constipated" while Regulus gaslights, gatekeeps, and girlbosses his way through a mental breakdown. Regulus is depressed, James is obsessed, Remus is stressed, and Sirius is just... well, Sirius is doing his best, but he’s mostly loudly confused.
