After Voldemort's defeat, and in order to keep control of Harry Dumbledore enacts a marriage contract between Harry and Ginny. Bound by Pureblood Traditions, Harry can only use that to his advantage. Not a Harry/Ginny fic. Pre Slash.

The tiniest wish can make all the difference. A Slytherin-sorted Harry, a not so soft Narcissa, and a very, very large familiar are just a few things to take note of when Severus does not see James Potter when he first looks at Harry. Hiatus: 1/12-3/12 .

It starts with the usual experiment-gone-wrong in Potions, and suddenly Snape, Harry, and Draco are seeing - and hearing! - the world in an entirely different way.

My take on Harry's first year starting with him getting his letters. Add a lot of sarcasm, stir, and serve cold.

Slash, HPSS- Harry's date with Voldemort at the conclusion of the Triwizard tournament didn't go quite as planned. Fate steps in with a 'unique' opportunity, offering Harry the chance to live and mature in the past. For a while, anyway.

All it takes is one moment, one decision and everything changes. A gift and a curse Harry learns the truths behind the lies and adapts. The world of darkness shall protect him when the land of light is lost. Dark!Harry
