    Summary

    Alastor (once Harry) has been swept through time from 1995 to 1912, gone through his life and afterlife, brought Balance to New Orleans and the Pride Ring, and gone and married to the Devil (some people have all the luck). But now he's been summoned back to the Wizarding World to end the war he was always destined to finish.

    However, how will the Order and his old friends react to a Harry who isn't a 15 year old wizard anymore? To the world, he's now a 36-year-old radio host who is hiding behind a weight of lifetimes. He still feels like Harry at times—but there are moments where his old friends question who he's become.

    Dumbledore is determined to get him back on the path of the prophecy. And he wants answers about the new prophecy as well as where Alastor stands now. But Alastor is armed with a sharp tongue, sharp teeth, and the Devil at his back—he isn't playing by anyone's rules anymore. And when Lucifer does inevitably follow Alastor, chaos follows.

    Now, politics are being politicked, plans are being made, lines are looking to be drawn, and steps are being taken. So the next act begins.

    Summary

    When Harry vanishes in the middle of fifth year, the wizarding world is left reeling in panic.

    However, the truth is far stranger.

    Disillusioned by Dumbledore’s manipulations after learning about the prophecy, Harry is approached by the deity of Death. Death gives him a choice. Continue down the path of sacrifice as the Savior...or he can choose a new path–one of Balance.

    Choosing the latter, Harry is swept through time to 1912 New Orleans, where he takes on the name Alastor. This new path offers things he never thought he’d have–family, freedom, love, and purpose.

    As Alastor grows into himself–and eventually into the Radio Demon–he takes on the mantle of Balance. He revels in the chaos, punishes the wicked, and brings balance where he walks. Sometimes with mercy, sometimes with carnage.

    Over the decades, his journey eventually meets up with his past. And the world he left behind still needs him.

    And when the two timelines collide again…the wizarding world will learn that the boy they once knew is no longer a boy at all.

    Summary

    "Not everyone sticks their tongue down someone’s throat on the first go, Malfoy.” Harry said sharply. Malfoy’s eyes glinted, following Harry’s hand as it tugged distractedly at his collar. “Leave off.”

    “All right.” Malfoy stepped back half a pace, hands in his pockets. “I was just going to see if you wanted a proper snog, or if you were satisfied with whatever that was.”

    Harry blinked. Then blinked again. “You- what?” His voice cracked embarrassingly. “With who?”

    “With me, Potter.”

    Summary

    Summary Part 1:
    Setting: The story begins during Harry’s Occlumency lessons in his fifth year. Harry makes it clear to Snape that he needs help in his fight against Voldemort, and Snape agrees to take on that responsibility. However, when Harry asks him where his resentment towards him stems from, Snape makes the mistake of telling him the truth—complicating everything between them.
    Despite this, they are forced to work together over the summer holidays and beyond, gradually coming to realise that they are more than just the double agent with a dark past and the Chosen One glorified by the press. HP/TN // HP/SS (slowburn)

    Draco Malfoy, unwittingly searching through the dungeons for him, even though he wants to just drink his hot chocolate, and mind his own fucking business- thank you very much, Pans- stumbles onto Harry in the kitchens.

    As to what Harry is doing... now, that will shock Draco.
