    Summary

    Ron and Hermione knew Harry was upset about being left out of things during the first part of the summer before fifth year, but they’d never thought he’d be upset enough to request being Sorted into Slytherin, or to start believing that Voldemort is right. Or: A Slytherin Harry story, but as seen from Ron and Hermione’s POV’s.

    The Radical - Lomonaaeren
    Told from the perspective of Ron and Hermione.
    Harry requests a resort upon arriving at Hogwarts for his 5th year. His placement into Slytherin and the resulting changes horrify those that think they know him.

    Fantastic. Of course they think the Slytherins are using potions or spells. Hermione believes they're brainwashing him, and has her parents send her books. Somehow, neither she nor Ron recognize that they're the ones doing that... while also being brainwashed themselves.

    “I have the right to do things that will protect my own life.”
    "They were isolating Harry on purpose, the Slytherins. Keeping him from hearing any voices but theirs. Of course it would be easy for him to start thinking that they were right. And if Hermione started agreeing, that lost Harry one champion in the outside world who would try to rescue him."

    Summary

    Harry's name is spat from the Goblet of Fire, turning his excitement for the Tri-Wizard Tournament into a nightmare. The Champions believe he cheated, Dumbledore is less than helpful, and his friends have abandoned him.

    Resigned to his fate as a pariah, Harry is about to receive an offer of support from a most unlikely source. Of course, this leads to a domino effect, revealing things Harry and his new friends could never have imagined, changing the course of the war and his life forever.

    Summary

    Harry watches Sirius fall through the Veil and thinks, there has to be something I can do to save him.

    Luckily, the Department of Mysteries has a large supply of Time-Turners.

    That’ll sort things, right?

    WIP: Turn, Turn Twice

    Great fun. After Sirius's death Harry rushes to the Time Room and uses all of the time turners so he'll be able to rescue Sirius. That takes him back to the night Arthur Weasley was attacked in the Ministry. Nagini finds him and takes him with her back to Voldemort.
    Voldemort takes full advantage of the situation (he's hysterical).

    WIP. What If? Number One.

    An extremely ill Harry is found by Severus and his friend. They quickly take stock of the situation and, in what has to be one of the best uses of Liquid Luck ever, turn it to their advantage. Severus is allegedly killed when working on a potion to undo a student's blunder, enabling him to escape Dumbledore's clutches. He adopts Harry and accepts the Prince heirship, moving in with his grandfather Julius and eventually establishing a working research partnership with his Druid friend.

    Goblins, Gods, Druids, familiars, and a magical school feature heavily.

    Harry now goes by Ari. He eventually befriends Draco and Neville.
    Dumbledore and Grindelwald have been working together for years in a plan to take over.

    Summary

    Set at the start of book five. The ever-busy Dumbledore is a little delayed in sending that howler to Petunia, and so when Vernon insists that Harry needs to leave the house as he's clearly a danger to the family, Harry is packed and down the road with no protest, causing the blood wards to break. The Dursleys instantly become a vulnerable target for Death Eaters, and Harry himself is snatched by a Death Eater, but it's Severus Snape and this is coming from a Severitus writer so you've likely already figured out where all of this is going.

    ***

    Snape didn’t become Harry’s guardian because he wanted to be. He did it because it was the best option they had at the time.

    Snape didn’t start giving Harry Occlumency lessons because he wanted to help him. He did it because it’s what the headmaster told him to do.

    Snape didn’t grow to care about Harry because he wanted to. He just did.

    WIP.

    After the trial, Severus is made Harry's guardian. They expect it to be in name only, but Harry escapes the chaos of Grimmauld by going to Spinner's End with Snape.
