    Summary

    In canon, at the end of Book 5 Harry blames Snape and Dumbledore for Sirius' death, but by the start of Book 6 he inexplicably forgets all about that. In this story he doesn't forget, and events take a very different turn. Harry decides that Dumbledore is part of the problem, not part of the solution. He seeks out a new and potentially more useful ally - Rufus Scrimgeour, the new Minister for Magic. How will that decision change things? And how will a hormonal teenage Harry adjust to sharing a room with Auror Tonks, the extremely hot bodyguard that Scrimgeour assigns to him? Independent!Harry. Proactive!Harry.

    An occasionally X-rated (NC17-rated in the US) novel-length Honks re-write of Half-Blood Prince that’s about 80% plot, 10% humour and 10% smut. The smut doesn’t really take off until Chapter 7. Just to be clear, the smut in this story is very smutty. If you don’t like smut this story is not for you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

    Of the 440,000+ Harry Potter fanfics on AO3 this story is in the top 1000 (by kudos)! Of those that don't involve slash it's in the top 100!

    Summary

    On Samhain night of 1981, the Potter Cottage was attacked by the Dark Lord Voldemort. Charlus and Dorea Potter died protecting their grandchildren, who seemed to have miraculously survived, leaving a young Henry James Potter with a lightning shaped scar on his forehead. Unnoticed by the adults, little Halley Lily Potter was also marked, hers right above her heart in the form of the rune ᛦ (Norse/Younger Futhark for "Yew"). Dumbledore saw the seemingly dark magic on the girl and proceeded to cut her off from Magical Britain, convincing the Potters that she had no magic and would be happier with the Dursleys. The Potters and all of Britain rejoiced at the apparent death of Voldemort, while a little girl's life would soon be turned into a living hell for 7 long years, until one night, when her world changes for the better.

    Summary

    Rose Potter spent twenty-one years as the Chosen One. Reborn as Harry Potter's twin, he alone has the scar after that Samhain night. Harry knows there's something odd about his sister - she's too old, too mature, and knows far too many things she shouldn't - but he loves her anyway. He's been there for her ever since they were born, so Rose'll be damned if she lets history repeat itself.

    (In her past life, Hogwarts didn't unite until the very end and everyone suffered for it)

    (Lily Potter was willing to do anything and sacrifice everything for the safety of her family. Rose intended to do nothing less)

    In which not all Slytherins are evil, not all Gryffindors are good, and the Wizarding World is more than just an extension of the Muggle one.

    Summary

    “You’ve grown just as much, Jace!” the King continued, oblivious to how cold the courtyard had suddenly turned at the mention of Lady Arryn. “You’re the spitting image of your father, boy. It’s as if I’m looking right at him, and the only way I can tell you apart is the hair. The Gods were kind to give you the Arryn look,” he added—yet another blow the King struck without even realizing it. Aegon had to stifle a laugh with a nervous cough, squeezing his eyes shut even tighter. “They knew in all their wisdom that I’d never be able to tell the two of you apart if they’d given you silver hair.”

    And just like that, the Dragonstone Targaryens had arrived—at least in part—at King’s Landing.
