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

Holly Potter and the Magics of the Mind by Writing_Heroics

Summary
Holly Pandora Potter is more morally flexible than the Harry James Potter who exists in other stories. When thinking about Lockhart and his 'Memory Charm', after surviving the events down in the Chamber of Secrets, Holly considers the possibilities.
‘It isn’t even the best way you could use a spell like that.’ The twelve year old Holly thought to herself. ‘I mean, if you were evil you could commit any number of crimes in front of witnesses and just remove their memories. Even if you’re not particularly bad it would have to be useful, especially against bad people. Ha! I’d love to make the Dursleys forget about me. Forget about magic too, for that matter.’
Things to know:
- Pottermore states that Memory Charms are in the second year Standard Book of Spells, this is not so in this story (or really any story I write)
- There will be some ponderings on morality
- Fem Harry is because I love those stories and want to write one, not because of some greater reason or commentary
- Not a fan of JK's politics or beliefs, but this world remains stuck in my head -

Summary
Based on "Hatal Fart Attack" by Corwalch, "Royal Ward" follows the changes in Harry's life after he gains the personal attention of the Queen, an event which causes Vernon to die of a heart attack. My thanks to Corwalch for permission to write a sequel. Reading "Hatal Fart Attack" first is recommended, but not absolutely required. Please note that this story begins in 1989, shortly before Harry's 9th birthday and several years before Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorced. Warnings may change as the story progresses.

Summary
What would have been the appropriate response to a creature that can kill with a look being set loose in the only magical school in Britain? It would have been a lot more than a pat on the head from Dumbledore and a mug of hot cocoa.
