Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
by WhoWroteThis
Harry Potter is a very special, but very abused little boy. When a giant drags him into a world unknown, he'll need all the help he can get to understand his newfound belonging. Lucky for him, he has a snake, a dragon, and a horde of protective allies on his side.

Living with the basilisk is going to take some adjusting, like learning to navigate hidden tunnels, keep himself secret, and figure out how to use magic (easier said than done). The castle and forest are full of dangers, and as Harry tries to fit into a world of elves, ghosts, and talking portraits, he'll find out if he's up to the challenge.

Freeing the basilisk's eggs is Harry's priority, but other forces are pulling on the threads of his life: the nonhuman nations in the forest and under the lake, his promise to the elves, and a prophesied starchild, just to name a few. Fortunately, old and new friends will be there with him. Featuring wands, dreams, death quests, and deep magic.

The killing curse has unforeseen consequences and Harry Potter finds himself remembering a past life as a result. A life where he was a grumpy old hunter whose favorite word was ‘idjit’. How different would his time at Hogwarts be with the memories of Bobby Singer rattling around his head?

When Hadria gets selected for the Triwizard Tournament, she attempts to keep this a secret from Gellert, because she really just wants to play around without a certain guardian going ballistic. Meanwhile the Slytherins are certain it's another year of Who's-Out-To-Kill-Hadria? (And Tom? Oh, he's just there to watch the show.)This is a sequel of Psithurism, featuring Hadria, paranoid Slytherins, a young Basilisk, and ultimately, a terrifying force of a Dark Lord guardian.

In 1934 Tom Riddle is adopted and changes the course of his life dramatically. In 1940s Hogwarts, Tom Riddle is at war with his fellow Slytherins and things aren't going in his favour. In 1980s Scotland, the Potters' marriage is a slow-motion landslide and Harry Evans sides with his mother, who teaches him compassion above all else. In 1995, Harry Potter finds a lost treasure in the Chamber of Secrets and falls in love. A hate-and-love story told in two parts. Obscurial!Tom Riddle. The first section is all hurt. The second section is somehow the fluffiest thing I've ever written. Un'beta-ed because I ran out of time.
