Reincarnating into the wizarding world is nothing but surreal, and petty things such as shame and safety become easy to ignore. To Lyra and James the world is a stage for fun and drama. Though perhaps they should not have looked behind the curtains — for as Dumbledore says, there are far worse things than death. (Double SI, powerful magic, no bashing, Lovecraftian divergence)

One night at 3 AM, Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore wake up to find that the prophecy has taken an unforeseen turn. "Congratulations Headmaster," said Harry, voice laden with unholy glee, "you're the Chosen One!" (aka The Body Swap Fic no one asked for)

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.

Do you ever wonder what the staff meeting was like the day Dumbledore pitched the Crystal Maze Philosophers Stone protections?

Gilderoy breathes in. "I'm sorry, is that a flirtation?" The beautiful man bites his lip silently. "You know why we can't, darling," Gilderoy says regretfully. "We have too many obstacles keeping us apart. Our love must remain a forbidden one." Featuring Gilderoy Lockhart and his lookalike lover, a mysterious letter, and a very annoyed Severus Snape. Comedy with crack-ish elements.

"Look at her: I would die for her, I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss." Of course he has killed for her...

Villains always make the same dumb mistakes. Luckily, Tom Riddle happens to have a rather dangerously genre-savvy friend in his head to make sure that he does this "conquering the world" business the RIGHT way. It's about time the bad guys won for once.

Harry Potter is not standing up in his crib when the Killing Curse strikes him, and the cursed scar has far more terrible consequences. But some souls will not be broken by horrible circumstance. Some people won't let the world drag them down. Strong men rise from such beginnings, and powerful gifts can be gained in terrible curses. (HP/HG, Scientist!Harry)

No, Dumbledore did not use a picture of Severus Snape to teach little two year old Harry to call the man 'Da.' That is a ridiculous accusation and it will not be stood for!

"She knew she would never caress its soft face or feel its tiny heart flutter under her hand. For a moment, as she stalled in the middle of the vast crowd, she pictured it like it could have been – the three of them, a house by the sea, happiness and quiet laughter and days in bed. She would never know that though and the agony of it made her want to scream." Very A.U. C&J.

The words be careful what you wish for had never rung truer. "Wait... what did she just call my father? Oh, oh god no, anyone but them! Please god no! I'd rather scourgify my own blood then have them for a family! I would take the Malfoys- no, even Voldemort over them! Anyone but...!" SI-OC. Pairings undecided. Not an SI you've read before, according to reviewers.

The Hallows were not an ending. Harry returns to the Forbidden Forest after the Battle and finds the Stone – the start of his salvation and the path to his damnation.

As if this life hadn't been a mistake, it must be dangerous and full of losses too. Damn, being Severus Snape's daughter really, really, sucks. Slightly AU, SI.

(Or - The Time Death Shanghaied Harry into Becoming Death and Got Away With It.) If he had known one hundred and eight years ago the trouble picking up the Elder Wand would cause him, he would have left the damn thing where it was. Admittedly, the chair almost made it worth it. [Sorta prequel to Deus Ex Machina)

COMPLETE. James Potter casts his own spell to protect his only son; but he was never as good with Charms as Lily was. (A more ruthless Harry Potter grows up to confront Voldemort). Dark!Harry. Slytherin!Harry HP/HG and then HP/HG/TN.

Pumpkins killing each other, extravagant masquerades in the honor of a merciless queen, abominations towards creation, and Dr Harry Potter. There's a lot of screaming coming from the Island of Azkaban tonight. WARNING! Crack, Horror, and gory imagery

Your eyes look haunted, almost dead, even though you're not the one lying on the floor, and even later, even years later, they never go back to normal. /Written for the numerous competitions on HPFC

Harry Potter knew quite a deal about fairness and unfairness, or so he had thought after living locked up all his life in the Potter household, ignored by his parents to the benefit of his brother - the boy who lived. But unfairness took a whole different dimension when his sister Natasha Potter died. That simply wouldn't do.

All names come from somewhere.

You follow in your father's footsteps, but you aren't your father, never have been, and it doesn't take long to realize that this isn't the life you want. It's too late by then, of course.

"They call you mudblood like it's some kind of insult." (2nd person POV)

Gilderoy Lockhart is convinced Severus Snape is in denial, and does his utomost to lend a hand. Brief one-shot about what transpires. Please be gentle-it's my first fanfic! Thanks!

Consider the curiously humanoid mandrake root, or mandragora. It is hideously ugly, deadly dangerous, and a powerful restorative. Why would anything else matter? * * A tale of horror. Please review. * *

"It is not unusual for one child in a family to be singled out for abuse and neglect. Often the other children in the household even participate in the abuse of the scapegoat." Dudley Dursley looks back on his childhood. Some things are a lot clearer now.

Draco does not approve of Harry's new hobby. HPDM. Foundations!verse. Fluffy as.

Growing up, Harry Potter became a smartass. Now he's starting Hogwarts, with trusty sidekick Millicent Bulstrode, a question for everything, and a cheerfully sarcastic demeanor that makes everyone want to smack him.

There are things Harry doesn't remember. Warning: child abuse

For the Greater Good. Harry understands this.

Voldemort never saw this coming! Harry aquires an ottoman...AU, ignores DH and most of HBP for it's own sanity

Voldemort was smart and decided to put his horcruxes into some....less noticeable items. And it would do that meddlesome Harry Potter good if he left them alone and let Voldy have his fun.

Running only made it worse, and crying only made them enjoy it more. So Harry smiled instead, and waited for the day when he wouldn't have to, when it'd be them running and crying in his place. Oneshot, RK elements.

Will the real Boy Who Lived please stand up? Snape is convinced that the second Potter twin is the one to worry about. Too bad no one else seems to agree. Oneshot.

The true-life occurances of one Severus S. Snape, sure to bewitch your mind and ensnare your senses.... er, perhaps not. Filled with bitterness, discoveries, and plenty of spite towards the starry-eyed Astrology professor.
