The presence of a foreign soul may have unexpected side effects on a growing child. I am Lord Volde...Harry Potter. I'm Harry Potter. In which Harry is insane, Hermione is a Dark Lady-in-training, Ginny is a minion, and Ron is confused.

He was their boy hero. How would they feel if he were kissed by dementors, even when they were buying the whole Boy Who Was Crazy schtick? Just how big would the fall out be? Rated M for language and situations.

Fifth year. Remember that time when Harry stopped to think before speaking? When he was smart about it and didn't just sit back and watch as he and other kids were hurt because the Professors told him to keep his head down? Although, nobody would have expected him to handle it the way he did.

What if the Dementor attack in 5th year had ended with Harry losing? What if someone had stepped in to save him? And what if Harry ended up in the past with a chance to be more than he ever was before? A story about a forcibly time travelled Harry and its consequences...

Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was too powerful, and made people forget about Harry when not directly interacting with him. Harry is content...until the charm breaks. 7 parts. COMPLETE.

SEQUEL to 'Time Travel? Really'. Just because the main problems of this time have been fixed, doesn't mean that life for Rose Potter is going to be smooth sailing. Family troubles, politics, life in general ... Rose will have to work for the things she wants, and if that means embracing her Black side, so be it.

Random Bunnies. If anyone finds a bunny they like, feel free to take it home. See first chapter for disclaimer. Rating is for occasional language.

Collection of one shots where various Harry Potter characters will get more upset than in canon and end up saying or doing something that will likely destroy relationships, and possibly have long lasting plot impacts.

Rated M for language and graphic violence.

A curious 11-year-old Harry begins acting on the strange and wonderful things he observes in the wizarding world. He might just turn out very differently, and the world with him.

"You are gathered here today because the world is going to end within the next three years," Hermione said succinctly. "But my husband, having died before, is in no hurry to do so again. We are here to try and save wizard kind itself." A Harry Potter/Battlestar Galactica Crossover, with a touch of 2012 fused in for the fun of it. Obviously not Epilogue Compliant.

When Harry wishes himself to Hogwarts for his Sorting, he ends up at the first Sorting ever. Due to a prank, which he plays on Dumbledore, he greatly changes history for the whole magical world. Completely AU! Time travel! My favourite among my stories.

It's finally happened: The Lone Traveler became a God. With the Divine name Marek Ilumian, Patron God of Free Will, Minor God of Knowledge and Travel, sometimes he goes over the top.

What if Remus was not... quite... as fast as he needed to be to catch Harry before he tried to get to Sirius in front of the Veil of Death. And what if the Veil was not what the magicals believed it to be? Oops! AU HP/LL Bash!AD/RW/GW (as my usual).

Prequel to The Nightmare Man. How did Harry Potter become a feared lord from ancient times? Here we'll see the start of it.

At the first task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament Harry sees his chance to strike down his enemies - and takes it. Here is a Harry who knows how to think and reason. Really Bash!AD, EWE, Clueful!HP Eventual HP/HG/DG/FD NL/HA/SB and others. Unapologetically!AU.

Set in fall term of third year the Dementor on train kisses the scar and sucks out the shard of Riddle's soul – with interesting reaction in the Dementor.

Then he receives a letter from Dementor who wants something.

At the end of Harry's third year, he becomes Lord Black when Sirius is kissed by dementor at Hogwarts. Dobby helps Harry escape Dumbledore's control and Gringotts helps. The new Lord Black grows up that summer and the Fourth Year is very different. Slash but Harry's 14 - nothing is going to happen. He confounds Snape, Fudge and the portrait of Lady Black. HEA ending.

Before Harry's third year at Hogwarts, he gets some information that allows him to know more about his parent's.

What if the horcrux in Harry's scar hadn't quite been as contained by the Blood Wards as Dumbledore planned. Rather than twisting Harry's personality, it darkened his aura. And the dark creatures of the magical world really liked that aura. Gee. Sucks to be a Dark Lord trying to make your comeback. VERY AU. Just for fun.

Hermione was eight when she summoned her first demon. She was lonely. He asked what she wanted, and she said a friend to have tea parties with. It confused him a lot. But that wasn't going to stop him from striking a promising deal with the young witch. Dark!Hermione, Slytherin!Hermione, occult theme. Complete.

This thread is entirely made up of the Lone Traveler's experiences within universes which contain Vorlons, Shadows, Earthforce, Mimbari, etc. Extracted from the main Lone Traveler thread on my account here.

Harry didn't appear at Hogwarts causing concern. Albus immediately head's out to Privet Drive to find out what was going on, along with Minerva and a reluctant Severus Snape. What they find out changes everything for everyone in the wizarding world. Is there a chance for anyone to go back and fix past mistakes? is there any hope at all for the magical world? COMPLETE

If there are intent-based protective wards such as Albus erected around the Dursleys, how would Hogwarts be if it had some?

Hermione was always a curious girl, but what do you believe when the information you uncover radically shifts your view on things that were always certain? One-shot.

In one world, it was Harry Potter who defeated Voldemort. In another, it was Jasmine Potter instead. But her victory wasn't the end - her struggles continued long afterward. And began long, long before. (fem!Harry, powerful!Harry, sporadic updates)

A spin-off of my Lone Traveler stories (Lone Traveler originally from The Professional). Harry gets a proper introduction with some insights from an alternate self who has lived it. What does he do with this information? How would his attitudes change?

In the aftermath of the Second Blood War its horrors still haunt the survivors, the country needs to be rebuilt and the last thing Harry Potter needed was a family of Potters from another dimension suddenly appearing.

In a Universe where Albus Dumbledore responded differently, he dies as a respected figure on June 24, 1991. He then is asked to go to a new universe and fix the mistakes of his alternate. What a mess. No Pairings yet (Not Canon). Year One Complete. Sequel will come - eventually.

Amidst a capture, a war, and dubious loyalties, she falls in love with the Gryffindor warrior assigned to keep her safe; only, he hates everything about her.Burdened with her past and struggling to rediscover herself and her loyalties, will she be able to win his heart, or will the war tear them apart forever? [Multiple Awards]

Being a Secret-Keeper is a very dangerous position to be in; so why would James ever risk Sirius' safety like that if it was possible to be his own Secret-Keeper? And what might have been changed with that decision.

If fanfics came with Director's Cuts, this would be the bonus material for Harry Potter and the Last Chance.

My first attempt at writing. When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire Dumbledore gives him a choice. Either participate in the tournament or lose his magic and leave Hogwarts. The Headmaster would never have guessed that Harry would lash out angrily and choose the latter. Minor Ron and Dumbledore bashing at the start. Wizarding War on a quicker timescale than in canon.

Response to Reptillia28's 'Don't Fear the Reaper' challenge. Harry has died for the twelfth time and his reaper sends him back for one last chance at completing his assigned destiny. Find extra deleted scenes by going to the author page.

Harry Potter, Lone Traveler, has accepted his role as the Multiverse's fix-it man. A figure of legend in many universes, he makes his way as directed by Creation to worlds where they could use a nudge here and there. Maybe he can prevent the multiverse from destroying itself in apocalyptic fire. Sequel to Stories of the Lone Traveler.

After the fall of Voldemort members of the Black family reunite to protect their children and charges. Together they will restore the Ancient and Noble House of Black while preparing for the return of a foe. Clarification: Harry and Draco have been aged to Viktor's age.

In deference to The Professional and his wonderful stories. Harry has lost everything; a failed attempt to fix his mistakes leaves him as the Lone Traveller, a part of Wizarding legend. This is "Complete" because the length is getting unwieldy. I stopped at a good point. The sequel is up.

Once, Thor was James Potter, New Mexico being a refinement of Odin's technique (being murdered didn't do Thor's sanity any favours). After a decade, a mostly reformed Loki restores his memories, introducing Thor's son, Harry, to new family and friends. But soon, ancient secrets emerge along with enemies both old and new as darkness rises. Harry is left with a choice: Fight or Die.

Saving a young girl's life is par for the course for Harry Traveler. But that simple act led to so much than even Trelawney could have foretold. For the Professional and Dunuelos and their great Lone Traveler stories.

For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.

Well, even after the war, with Voldemort dead, wizards refused to change the things that were important to prevent events that led to the war in the first place to repeat themselves. Time for Harry to make sure, at the right time and place, to teach them.
