Summary
Hermione finally came clean with her closest friends when she went to retrieve her parents because she had to admit that it wasn't from Australia, and they'd never been Obliviated. She'd kept her muggle identity strictly secret all through school and the war... She'd lied to everyone, said her parents were boring nobodies.
They weren't, and neither was she... but only four people know that now and she's not even back in England yet when a familiar owl, Draco Malfoy's owl to be exact, finds her to deliver a letter.
A letter that changes her life, her heart, her view of the entire bloody universe if she's honest...
A letter so lovely that he's the first person she wants to see the moment she's home, especially after a meeting with the Minister that dropped a bomb.Not her friends who she hasn't seen in nearly a year... HIM.
Draco.
He never expected an answer, let alone to see her... but now he'd do anything to win her. He's just made the greatest breakthrough in Magical Medicine in centuries and isn't the bully she remembers, he's a good and worthy man now ready to woo the pants off her... literally. If she'll let him.

Summary
Two, perhaps nearly three, years after the fall of Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world begins to heal. But deep in the shadows, Bellatrix Lestrange still burns with the need to prove her loyalty to her vanished master. When fate places young Harry Potter in her path on a cold, storm-lashed night, she prepares to strike the ultimate blow of revenge.
And yet… she doesn’t.In a single moment of clarity, Bellatrix sees not the Boy Who Lived, not the symbol of her master’s downfall, but a child, bruised and neglected, cast away by the very world that claims to worship him. Driven by a twisted blend of vengeance, obsession, and something achingly close to maternal yearning, she steals him from the Muggles’ grasp, determined to shape him into something greater. Her own dark legacy.
As Harry grows under Bellatrix’s fierce and fractured care, molded by the shadows instead of the light, questions begin to stir within him. Who is he really? Savior or weapon? Pawn or player? As the years pass and Hogwarts looms on the horizon, the world teeters unknowingly on the edge of a future rewritten.
One boy. One woman. One night that changed everything.

Summary
Children’s hair sometimes changes color as you grow. When he’s young enough for it not to be unusual, but old enough to know he’ll get in trouble for doing something ‘freakish’ again, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair.
It changes everything about who he identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily turns out to be a much better influence.
So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet-haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive Hogwarts.Story Discord: https://discord.gg/8b7zt5PBHp
