    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

    At eight years old, the strange splotch of color on Harry's arm transforms into a skull with a snake curled around it. That alone would be odd enough to make Harry a strange, freakish boy.

    But then the snake begins to speak.

    Following his soul mark's guidance, Harry abandons the world he grew up in for the new, fantastic world of magic. He imagines a future with his soulmate, one filled with wonderous magic, food and clothing aplenty, and, most importantly, a large, loving family.

    He just needs to find his soulmate and have him get with the program. It can't be that hard, can it?

    Summary

    Bucky dreams of Harry, of the torture and abuse and hatred spit at him. Frozen and bound, he can’t help the small boy whose relatives demean and ignore. He can’t stop the frying pans swung at small heads when things go wrong or the fists of bigger kids trying to erase any “strangeness” in the young boy. Over the years Bucky tries to find the boy,but he doesn’t get very far before his handlers reign him back in with lightning and fire and darkness. Bucky can do nothing but watch and rage about the scrawny boy who’s expected to fight for every breath. The last time Bucky is awakened from the cold, he races across the continent towards the young man with the sad eyes who’s currently walking towards his death.

    Harry has known nothing but pain and hatred his entire life. Sure he has Hermione and the Weasleys who seem to care for him (when they’re not ignoring him), but it seems that his whole life was arranged by Dumbles to maximize his suffering. After watching the pensieve memories, he knows that he was nothing but a lamb raised for slaughter, given nothing because he is nothing. Harry is bone tired of trying to scrape up any love or affection. He knows what is expected of him and it’s something easy for a change.
