Summary
“Get back here!”
Harry had never run faster in his life. He wasn’t thinking; his mind was stuck in a loop. Get out, get out, get out. He sprinted down the street. He needed help — he needed help now. He barely made the curve.
Everyone he knew would send him back here if Dumbledore asked them to. The thought was there before he could stop it.
Not the Order.
His feet hurt from how hard they were hitting the ground. His thoughts lagged behind, chasing him too. He didn’t slow down to let them catch up.
——-
One evening, Vernon goes too far.
Harry runs.
He knows he can’t ask the people he knows for help — not about this.
So he runs to the one person he knows would never, under any circumstances, send him back to Dumbledore.

Summary
Severus Snape didn't know what was going on with Harry Potter. One minute he was having a seizure and spending the night in the Infirmary, and the next he was gone. Three weeks later, he witnesses the boy miraculously reappear and slay the Dark Lord. Now he's sitting in Albus Dumbledore's office listening to the boy claim that he's from the future and the Master of Death while Voldemort's corpse hovers beside them. Potter has changed and Severus finds himself landed with a boy who isn't the same irritating brat that he once knew.
This was originally titled The Potion Master's Apprentice, written by Athy and abandoned, up for adoption. She has kindly allowed me to take her beautiful idea into my own hands to do with it as I will. It is still here on AO3 and you should go read it. I've used many of her words, her original concept, and then put my own twist on it. Thank you so much for letting me adopt your story.

Summary
In the summer after the Tri-Wizard Tournament, a bored act of curiosity—sending a letter to Gringotts to learn about his mother’s family—accidentally and irrevocably reactivates a forgotten peerage thought lost after the First Muggle Great War.
No one outside his closest circle knows who the new Lord is, but old magic does: ancestral oaths awaken, political Houses not seen in decades begin to stir, and one thought-dead madman takes notice. Unwillingly, Harry must now become a reluctant power broker as bureaucracy, blood magic, even more bureaucracy, and secrecy drag him toward a throne he never wanted.
What begins as curiosity becomes obligation. Old Houses demand heirs, allies, and concubines; new friends translate clauses older than the Wizengamot. Between parchment and prophecy, Harry learns that power isn’t a choice—it’s a signature.
He only wanted answers. What he got was a House, a title, and twelve families who still think oaths outrank choice.

Summary
Harry Potter knows three things for certain:
1. His parents died in a car crash because they were drunks
2. He's a burden the Dursleys barely tolerate
3. Nobody will ever want himThe letter from Hogwarts proves all three are lies.
When Harry escapes Privet Drive with nothing but stolen money and a crumpled acceptance letter, he expects to find a scholarship and maybe, if he's lucky, a place where he doesn't have to sleep in a cupboard. Instead, he finds a world that calls him their savior, vaults overflowing with gold, and a truth so devastating it nearly tears him apart.
Navigating magical society with burn scars on his arms and the weight of fame he doesn't understand, Harry must rebuild himself from the ground up. Fortunately, Daphne Greengrass has never met a puzzle she couldn't solve, and Harry Potter is the most intriguing mystery the wizarding world has seen in years.Bookmarked by PessimisticComic

A dark, deliberate reimagining of the wizarding world where knowledge is sharper than wands, alliances are forged in silence, and love becomes the most dangerous kind of power.

Summary
“James and Sirius both knew, and they both still loved you so much, Harry, but James Potter wasn't your biological father. He's a very wealthy Muggle in America, and I'm taking you to him.”
The magic exploded from Harry like a storm, ripping through the room and shredding anything in its path.
-or-
After Sirius dies, Harry finds himself depressed and with his magic getting harder to control. Not that he's trying that hard. Then Professor Lupin shows up and drops a bombshell: his father isn't his father, and he's come to take Harry away from England before the war kills him.
Will Bruce Wayne and his brood of kids be any better of a bet than Hogwarts was? Harry isn't sure, but he and Remus are going to find out.

Summary
There are a few things in life Harry knew for certain. He was a wizard, he has his mother´s eyes and his parents are dead.
His entire life in the wizarding world he has known this to be the truth. Through all the trials set out before him and all the trauma he has endured he has always known this to be the truth.
But what if all of it was a lie? What if Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived – The Man Who Conquered, wasn´t a Potter at all?
What should have been a meeting for a summon to the bank to settle an old debt, turned into a visit that would change everything Harry has ever known.
One thing is for certain. Harry´s journey is far from over as truths are revealed and friendships are tested and families are torn apart. Heartache and indescribable joy, ancient and thought to be extinct bloodlines resurface once more.Bookmarked by PessimisticComic
