    Summary

    Little Whinging, Surrey is a place where individuality goes to die. Row after row of identical houses line the streets with pristine, white picket fences and perfectly pruned hedges and house perfectly normal families. Those who live on Privet Drive are no exception to this.

    But there is one little boy who does not fit into that mould.

    Little Hari Potter, who has befriended snakes and knows their ways, hears his neighbors whispering of things he wanted them to notice and says, “Aunt Petunia, did you hear? Mrs. Number Six thinks we’re too poor to afford clothes for two children. I heard her talking about asking the neighbors for donations for us. Isn’t that nice of her? I know that I’m a huge burden on you all, so I’m glad that someone is stepping up to help out.”

    And that simply will not do. The Dursleys care more for their reputation than anything else, and so things slowly but surely begin to change as a result.

    The Hari Potter who arrives at Hogwarts could never sort anywhere but Slytherin.

    Summary

    1995, the year Hermione Granger found herself orphaned, Dean Thomas found out that he wasn't quite as Muggleborn as he'd thought, Sirius Black decided that it was time to rehabilitate the Black Family once and for all, and Remus Lupin decided that it was time to quit wallowing and marry the love of his life.

    This is a story of finding and defining family and standing up for what you believe even if it isn't the most comfortable.

    Summary

    Why does the letter have no return address? How do they know what bedroom I live in? How is there a whole secret society that no one knows about? The books say Harry Potter is famous and powerful, but he has broken glasses, a too small body, and too cautious eyes. Why are there not more protections around what are supposed to be dangerous and restricted places? Why do the headmaster's eyes twinkle?

    Or, the one where Hermione asks a lot more questions.

    Summary

    One year post war and the Wizarding World had started moving forward — except for Hermione Granger, who was on a crusade everyone considered hopeless.
    Harry and Ron tried to convince ‘the-brightest-witch-of-her-age’ she was chasing after shadows but she was deaf to it.
    Granger knew, deep down that Severus Snape still lived. His body was never recovered and until he or his corpse showed up, she refused to give up hope.
    In his will, he’d left her everything he’d ever written.
    Now all her hope rested on the vast trove of journals, formulas and grimoires that were all she had left of him and a strange journal that had the power to alter the very course of the war.
