    Summary

    Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, but his parents still died, and Albus Dumbledore, concerned that Death Eaters might seek the boy’s death, cast a powerful charm on him to make wizards ignore him before Harry was left with the Dursleys. Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was far too powerful, and made others essentially forget Harry existed when not directly interacting with him. Sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, Harry lives a contented life with no one either loving or hating him…until the charm breaks on his seventeenth birthday, and he’s suddenly plunged directly into the middle of a living world at war.

    Summary

    The Veil of Death can only reap one soul at a time, so when Harry follows Sirius through in a desperate bid to save his godfather, it only reaps the horcrux out of his scar before tossing Harry’s soul back in time to the Marauder’s Era. Waking up as a new person with sixteen years worth of new memories was not part of Harry’s (admittedly rash) plan. Waking up as a girl, even less so. But if it will give him the chance to save not just Sirius but his parents as well, Harry isn’t going to complain. Fem!Harry/Sirius Black

     

    Or in which Harry tries to help his dad win over his mom. Sirius tries to win over Harry. Voldemort is a total psychotic creeper. And Lily is just done with all of them.

    Summary

    Unsatisfied with his post-war life, Harry decides to get to the root of all of his problems when that root was still working at Borgin and Burkes shop in the late 40s. He’s the Master of Death, damn it, he can do what he wants for once in his life.

    Tom Riddle isn’t particularly happy about working at a small, dingy shop for magical artifacts, no matter how interesting those artifacts are. He’s even less happy when an insufferable stranger sets up the most obnoxious flower shop right across the street.

    What follows would be a romantic comedy, if it weren’t for politics.
