Sneak him out of the house of course! But while Sirius and Harry have fun Lily finds the sleeping James, a missing Harry and all hell breaks loose!

History is written by the victors, but even victors lie. The story of House Potter over the centuries.

A curious 11-year-old Harry begins acting on the strange and wonderful things he observes in the wizarding world. He might just turn out very differently, and the world with him.

Starts out the day after the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione meet the Goddess of Love, and she offers to let them go back in time. Strictly Harry and Hermione. Minor - well maybe major Ginny, Ron and Dumbledore Bashing. Soul Bond - Time Travel

This is the story of how Voldemort and the tools he created to defy death were destroyed by Harry Potter and me while sitting in an empty Hogwarts classroom using Harry's idea, my design, and most importantly, our intent. Set during 6th Year.

She went to board the train waiting on the stairs as Harry went and hugged Remus, then Sirius. "She hasn't stopped talking Sirius!" he whispered in a panic "You owe me big time." Sirius chuckled, and ruffled his hair. "Trust me Pup. You will thank me someday."

The day before Harry Potter was due to go to Hogwarts for the very first time, his aunt and uncle informed him that he wouldn't be going. Instead, he was sent to Stonewall High. Now, three years later, the Goblet of Fire has named him as a TriWizard Champion. What that means is anyone's guess, but to Harry, one thing is clear: he can finally get away from Privet Drive.

When Violet Evans, older half-sister of Lily Evans Potter, discovered how her nephew, Harry, was being treated, she whisked him away without a second thought. Now, without a place to keep him safe, she turns to an old childhood friend, Sherlock Holmes.

Complete! With a Light Lord interfering in Potter Family matters and a Dark Lord hell-bent on killing off the Potters, a cadet branch of the Potter family has to act.

Betaed by Marc the Unruly

After McGonagall's dismissal of the first divination lesson Harry decides to change elective. In the process Harry starts to understand that he can do things without Ron or Hermione and that their yearmates are worth getting to know. A different take on PoA and on. Rating's for safety. Not a Ron/Hermione bashing story.

Harry Potter wasn't stupid nor naive. He grew up having to look out for himself. Why would that suddenly change in the Wizarding World? But a snake in lion's clothing wouldn't reveal itself until it was to late to stop him. He wanted freedom, and he would get it. No matter what Dumbledore, the Ministry or Voldemort might think. Alternate from Order of the Phoenix

When Harry James Potter walks into Hogwarts for the first time, Minerva realises that she made a huge mistake in leaving him with the Dursley's all those years ago. If she does something now, will she be able to change things? And will the Lion and the Snake be able to work together? Divergence Point: Walking into Hogwarts. Series planned for future.

Point of deviation: Harry's primary school taught Home Economics. Harry's not going to let the wonders of magic take away his common sense, and if he can get a good deal, he's going to take it. Meanwhile, money is fun, but magic is funner. AU

Rose Potter, trouble-magnet extraordinaire, finds herself waking up in the past after an accident at work. Deciding to do what Dumbledore should have, Rose decides to fix the timeline seeing as she's stuck. Everyone had better watch out, because this Rose Potter isn't what they were expecting - at all. Fem!Harry, slight AD/RW bashing. T for language (lots of swearing).

Suppose a pre-school Harry Potter was the only survivor of a car crash. This is my take on that. VERY AU and I'm happy with that.

In First Year, Harry realises early on that he has more in common with Hermione than Ron. Their friendship gradually blossoms into something more - something that Voldemort will come to regret - the Power he knows not. First through third year near canon, more AU from fourth year on.

One responsible adult does not like Dumbledore's glib explanation for how a troll got in. She lets it go, but reacts when the next incident happens.

This is a story about a smart Lily like they say she was. She has a plan and follows it. (Character death.) Its AU. Paring is none from the books. This is a small story, 5 chapters

AU 4th year, Harry decides it's time to man up and dance to his own tune instead of the Headmaster's. Story contains some language, Dumbledore bashing, and a tiny bit of Ron bashing,

"Lily, it's him! Take Harry and run!" It began the same way, but ended in a very different way. This change caused life instead of death for many. Life altering changes provide the Power The Dark Lord Knows Not. J/L, H/Hr

Very loosely based on the Reptilia28 Don't Fear the Reaper Death Challenge, whereby Harry gets to relive his life. As do a couple of other people. What effect does this have on Harry's life and the Voldemort Blood wars? Not a Discworld crossover, but some guest appearances by Death's granddaughter. Some character bashing. No Cursed Child or Fantastic Beasts. COMPLETE.

Ron leaving them stranded on the hunt for the horcruxes wakes Harry and Hermione up to the fact that they cannot continue on as they have. They will have to think things through and not trust to luck or a destiny that may or may not turn out in their favour.

If you could change time, would you do it? Harry learns more about the life he should have lived when he is faced with such a choice...

In a Universe where Albus Dumbledore responded differently, he dies as a respected figure on June 24, 1991. He then is asked to go to a new universe and fix the mistakes of his alternate. What a mess. No Pairings yet (Not Canon). Year One Complete. Sequel will come - eventually.

AU. A marriage law is instigated during Hermione's sixth year. Hermione considers her options and makes her choice, it just wasn't the one they were expecting. By saving herself Hermione's decisions cause ripples to run through the Order. The game has changed, those left behind need to adapt to survive.

His experiences at the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley afterwards takes his life in a whole different direction. He gets help from unexpected directions - the goblins and the DMLE. AU Third Book. No Pairings. Unofficial subtitle: Where everyone gets what they deserve.

If fanfics came with Director's Cuts, this would be the bonus material for Harry Potter and the Last Chance.

Response to Reptillia28's 'Don't Fear the Reaper' challenge. Harry has died for the twelfth time and his reaper sends him back for one last chance at completing his assigned destiny. Find extra deleted scenes by going to the author page.

Harry's treatment at the Dursleys didn't make him – it broke him. At Hogwarts, broken children make their way to the home of the badgers. No one protects like a badger. The outcome? Heads fly. This is the trial of Albus Dumbledore. Rating due to child abuse mentions. Format is weird.

Raised in magic by a loving family, trained by one of the best Aurors the DMLE has ever seen for a war always on the horizon and the world has a very different Boy-Who-Lived on their hands. Book One of the What A Difference A Father Makes series.

Harry escapes the Dursleys with a unique bout of accidental magic and eventually winds up at the Grangers' house. Now, he has what he always wanted: a loving family, and he'll need their help to take on the magical world and vanquish the dark lord who has pursued him from birth. Years 1-4. Sequel posted.

Sirius decides to stay in England after escaping Hogwarts and makes protecting Harry his priority. AU GOF.

What would have been the appropriate response to a creature that can kill with a look being set loose in the only magical school in Britain? It would have been a lot more than a pat on the head from Dumbledore and a mug of hot cocoa.

Hermione's world is turned upside down when she receives some startling news. But with the help of some friends, she'll learn to embrace her new life while staying true to her old one. Harmony. No definitive update schedule. All rights belong to J.K. Rowling.

When a more studious Harry Potter entered Gringotts with Hagrid, the Goblins managed to talk to him privately - Dumbledore never saw that one coming. A Ravenclaw Harry story. Warning: child abuse, character bashing, and pureblood society.

Post HBP. When Harry wakes up & finds himself in a world where there is a female version of him running around, he immediately begins the steps to prevent his horrific future from happening with hers. No Slash/One-Shot.

YATTFF - A blend of the Reptilia28 and CoastalFirebird time travel challenges; Harry, Hermione and Daphne Greengrass die during the final battle and are sent back in time to set things back on track. AD/MW/RW/GW!bash. Rated M for themes and language. AU!world OOC!chars. Expect 450k words.

Instead of sending his Hogwarts acceptance letter by owl, McGonagall decides to personally deliver to Harry, which sets of a chain of events that changes many aspects of the life of the Boy-Who-Lived.

A fourth year fic. Harry is stuck in something he doesn't want to be in, Dumbledore's a manipulative bastard, Voldemort wants Harry dead, the school hates him...sounds like every year right? Well this year Hermione has a brilliant idea (or more than one) and her idea(s) change Harry's life, her life, and a big black dog's life too. AU and no idea which genre to put this under.

After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry looks for something new to do with his life. Mix in a little heart ache and the Wizarding World is in for some changes.

Hermione and Harry attend the first anniversary ball of the defeat of Voldemort and face another foe. This time an irate Molly Weasley who is angry she broke up with Ron. Severus, Remus and Tonks live because I hate how they died in the story. JKR should have killed off Arthur instead like she had originally planned.

The Sorting Hat (or Brian to his friends) has had enough of being told by Albus Too-Many-Names Dumbledore exactly how certain new students should be sorted. For once, he's going to take matters into his own, um, hands? The incoming class of 1991 isn't going to know what hit them. Get ready for a Sorting like no other! One Shot.

Harry had noticed a lot of things that didn't add up around him. He did something about it. When Ron left the tent during the hunt for the horcruxes, he finally manages to get the true Hermione back. With a better plan they start the hunt anew.

Harry and Hermione are 'child prodigies'. Destiny managed to throw them together and they form a bond far stronger than any seen in the wizarding world. They use their intelligence to bring innovations into the world that have not been thought before.

Harry letting himself get hit by Voldemort's killing curse had slightly different results in this particular AU!

Harry always suffered from the abuse of the Dursleys and nobody ever acted on it or even or noticed it. Thanks to a coincidence during the time after smugling Norbert out that changed. See what a small change can do.

Wizard lack common sense. Hermione had declared that in their first year at Hogwarts. Well, even after the war, with Voldemort dead, wizards refused to change the things that were important to prevent events that led to the war in the first place to repeat themselves. Time for Harry to make sure, at the right time and place, to teach them.

After the disastrous end of Harry's third year, Sirius and Remus scheme to lift Harry's spirits by sending him to the United States to learn to be an animagus. In the process, he ends up learning the truth about his infamous scar and how to fight his war. Word Count: 109,175, not counting Author's Notes.

Response to Paladeus's challenge "Champions of Lilith".

AU. Time Travel. Snape goes back in time, holding the knowledge of what is to come if he fails. No longer holding a grudge, he seeks to shape Harry into the greatest wizard of all time, starting on the day Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley. No Horcruxes.

A decade has passed since the brightest witch of her age left England to search for her parents. Now employed by the Australian Ministry of Magic, Inspector Granger heads a special group of witches and wizards whose call sign is TASS – Tactical Assault Surveillance and Suppression.

It always bugged me that Harry, as an abused kid, accepted the way Ron spoke of and to Hermione. What if Harry had stood up to Ron? How would the troll incident have gone? This is how it should probably have been written if JKR had not been so intent on the OBHWF trope. Enjoy! Warning for some strong language, hence the M rating, and for fairly heavy Ron bashing.

In the midst the Great Depression eighteen year old Katniss needs a miracle. Her Papa is dead, Mama has just been hauled off to the asylum, soon she'll be evicted, and Prim put into the child's home. WW1 Veteran, Peeta Mellark, gives her the means to save Prim, he offers to be her husband 'in name only'. The only hitch is; Katniss thinks she loves him.

The Tower of London has a dark and bloody past both in the muggle and wizarding worlds. Besides being a prison, it also served as a sanctuary in times past, what if it became one yet again? -AU

What if Harry woke up to his underperforming before his third year and decided to take his studies more serious? What if he was more observant and also decided to find out how Hermione got to take all classes offered? What if he took things into his own hands properly for once and didn't mess around so much? The answer: A wizard awakes to his true potential.

"At some point while you are growing up, your magic will manifest itself physically. You will get a set of words on your wrist. These words will be specific to your soulmate, the one person your magic knows you are supposed to be with." Harry/Hermione, Soulmates!AU Side ships: Ron/Luna, Seamus/Dean

COMPLETE. The odds of temporal displacement were tiny, too infinitesimal to count, and yet… The Harry Potter luck striking again, he supposed. So now there's an older, wiser, more mature Harry (well, the older part's true at least) stuck in the past. And he's determined that if he's going to change things, he'll have some fun doing it. (OR: Time travel minus angst equals this.)

Its a foregone conclusion that someone had to die on Halloween in 1981. It didn't have to be the Potters. What would happen if someone else had died? What if it was Dumbledore? How would that change the world? Does a prophecy exist if no one knows about it?

AU ONESHOT Independent Harry decides enough is enough. Dumbledore bash fest. slight RW bashing mild language. Co-written with Darkshadowedrose.

My own response to Reptilia28's challenge. Harry died in the battle with Voldemort. What happens when he meets the Grim Reaper? Especially when the Reaper isn't happy with him. Rating changed to more appropriate one. HHr. Other pairings as they come.

Starts after Ch. 1 of DH, crossover with Dangerverse AU, short chapters. Draco Malfoy, trapped in a life he never chose, wishes as he falls asleep that he were somewhere he could start over. Maybe he should have listened to his proverbs. Now complete.

Hermione left to find her parents and was never seen nor heard from again until years later when an old friend stumbled into her at a hotel in New York. They would both learn things about each other neither had expected and found a life neither had.

This is a what if story. Canon will be followed when it fits my story. Harry is powerful but not a superhero, Harry and Hermione the main pairing, rating may change down the road.

A sudden flash of memory and an overheard conversation starts Harry on journey to rediscover something he lost in sixth year. What he finds could change, not only his life, but those of every one close to him as well.
