Summary
Petunia finds caring for two preschoolers too difficult and takes the opportunity to pass Harry off to other relatives. Being raised by intelligent, openminded and loving family does a lot to counteract the years of abuse at the hands of the Dursleys and it’s a very different Harry Potter who receives his Hogwarts letter when he turns eleven.

Summary
Gabrielle Delacour was saved from the Black Lake by none other than Britain's notorious Harry Potter. Rather than put the boy on a pedestal, the precocious French witch becomes his pen pal, his friend, and then more.
The initial idea was to have the least creepy Gabrielle/Harry story I could, without wildly changing ages or anything. I've read a few fun romance stories with the pairing, but often Gabrielle is aged up or veela shenanigans are story elements.
At first I thought I could keep it tight to canon, but the truth is that as soon as Harry starts talking to, and trusting, people outside his friend group and Dumbledore, things deviate. Not to the extent of my other stories though.
All content is letters between Harry and Gabrielle. Communications mentioned but not shown between these two and other characters are left to the reader's imagination. Some letters between the two are skipped as well, usually for narrative purposes.
'Correspondants' is French for Pen Pals (according to the internet).

Summary
Having been treated as a servant his entire life, Harry is more sympathetic when Dobby arrives, avoiding Vernon's wrath and gaining a bit of freedom. That freedom changes his summer, his life, and the world forever. A very long character-driven story that likes to play with canon.
