Summary
When Tom Riddle’s Killing Curse rebounds on Halloween 1981, he isn’t ripped from his body. Instead, he’s flung forward to 2001—where the Dark Lord disappeared without a trace twenty years ago, and the Boy-Who-Lived is just trying to live an ordinary life studying his beloved magical creatures.
Oh, and he’s also sane again—for the first time in a disturbingly long while.
How will he make use of this unexpected fresh start? Who did Harry grow up to be, with a (mostly) peaceful childhood?
Sometimes fate and magic have a roundabout way of bringing soulmates together…

Summary
"Harry Potter is mine."
Voldemort took a graceful step forward, the air around him clinging close and darkening as if he had called the shadows to accompany him. "Mine to harm," he continued, his voice a soft. "Mine to conquer. Mine to defeat. Mine to torture. Mine... to kill."
Red eyes bore into green, staring intently as if peering into his very soul."And mine..." His magic brushed against Harry, nearly suffocating with its potency, choking him and binding him all at once, marking him for a fate he never wanted. "... to decide when to kill."
Harry returned from the graveyard to a world drunk on lies and fear only to be taken prisoner by Voldemort right from under Dumbledore's nose. One month wasting away in captivity left him empty, haunted by the deaths of those stolen from him.
Until everything changes, when Harry gains the Dark Lord's interest and is set free of his prison. When he is entered into an altogether different fight - one in which he must finally choose what he really wants.

Summary
Before Armando Dippet retires he appoints Tom Riddle as the Defense Professor. Dumbledore doesn't agree but he is unable to find a reason to fire him. Hogwarts rarely gets Transfer Students, but with the war against Grindelwald several had come over the last few years. Some were more interesting than others. This year brings four of varying ages and backgrounds. Tom has reluctantly been recruited into helping the transfers adjust to their new school. None of them seem very interesting as the school year starts but he must meet with them at least once a week for the first Term. On the first night back, Tom goes to meet with Salazar, the man says something intriguing there is a Warlock in the school.

Summary
Trelawney whispered a different prophecy. Because of it, Harry Potter was allowed to live.
He started his seventh year, the way he always had: as a half-blood Gryffindor, an orphan of Godric’s Hollow and the social leper of Hogwarts.
Two things told Harry it would be an interesting semester: first, the Dark Lord would visit Hogwarts; second, they had a new defense professor, who moved with precision and power and spoke as if he was used to people hanging onto his every word.
The man made Harry’s stomach squirm.
And he called himself Marvolo Gaunt.

Summary
Harry Potter was never meant to be ordinary - but he was never meant to be this, either.
Every child in the wizarding world knows about Harry Potter. The-boy-who-lived, the Lights symbol of hope and power, their perfect little saviour. Every child apart from Harry Potter. Harry Potter only knows that the shadows are his true family and that listening to them is what he wants to do.
