Summary
After two years of murder attempts and terrible summers, ominous letters from the Ministry and adults who act like they care but never actually do anything, Harry decides to grab the basilisk by the horns. In the few weeks he has before school begins, Harry learns more about himself, his family, and his role in the magical world. When third year starts, he just hopes he's ready.
[A canon retelling starting in PoA through DH, with a Harry that's just a bit more perceptive, a Sirius with changed priorities, and a caring Theo]

Summary
Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, and he committed a major mistake in the past that cost him several of his friends, but he can still help with fighting the Carrows during his seventh year. At least, until Alecto Carrow casts an experimental spell on him that ends up flinging him fifty years into the past. Harry makes himself at home in the past, unaware of the real identity of the handsome Slytherin, Tom Riddle, who seems oddly attracted to him.
