Summary
What if Sirius Black realised that Harry Potter had an unhappy home life when he escaped from Hogwarts?

What if there were adults who were responsible enough to properly look after Harry rather than leave the weight of the wizarding world on his shoulders?
And what is the power the Dark Lord knows not?

Summary
Harry wasn’t supposed to disappear. But he did.
And he didn’t go alone.Now three runaways are rebuilding something old and powerful, tucked behind ancient wards and crumbling stone of a much too sentient manor.
There is hope in the walls, truths in the shadows, and a war still waiting for them just beyond the gates. But here, in this half-ruined corner of the world, they are choosing something different. Peace, power, and each other.This is a story about found family, quiet healing, unexpected love, and what it means to stop surviving and start living. Even if the cost is everything they left behind.

Summary
Just how will Dumbledore cope with a Harry who is smart, knowledgeable, sticks up for himself and, worst still, is betrothed? A Harry who has a penchant for losing his temper?

This amazing story was written by Sinyk on FF.net. I am in no way taking ownership of this story, I only added it to AO3 because it's easier to read. - Fernie

Summary
After two years of murder attempts and terrible summers, ominous letters from the Ministry and adults who act like they care but never actually do anything, Harry decides to grab the basilisk by the horns. In the few weeks he has before school begins, Harry learns more about himself, his family, and his role in the magical world. When third year starts, he just hopes he's ready.
[A canon retelling starting in PoA through DH, with a Harry that's just a bit more perceptive, a Sirius with changed priorities, and a caring Theo]

Summary
„I don’t think that’s a good idea, Malfoy.“
“Oh come on, Potter. We’re the youngest Aurors around with the highest case solving number.”
“No, we shouldn’t do it!”
“Why not, tell me then, Potter.”
“Because every time I’m involved, things tend to go wrong.”
“Calm yourself, Potter. Quick in and out and we’re done.”
Harry though he heard someone laugh, but that too must have been in his head. He sighed. “Fine. Let’s do it.”
---
After Harry and Draco get stuck at Hogwarts of all places back in time with their younger selves, they have to figure out whether or not to teach themselves about the ongoing war or to just let history play out like it did. Will they be able to stand on the side while Peter Pettigrew escapes their clutches again, while young Harry gets lost in the labyrinth, letting Cedric die. Or will they come back home again before everything unfolds? And what is going on with this meddling Dumbledore and why won’t he just let them leave again? Let’s find out how our enemies to work allies find their way back home through history and time.- Language:
