Summary
When Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts (and is sorted into Slytherin), he finds a family hidden in its walls. Between a sarcastic toad named Midas, a cautious circle of new friends, and a professor who is secretly more soft then spiky, Harry starts to realize that he truly can belong.
As the year unfolds with flying lessons, trolls, and far too many secrets, Harry learns what it means to belong… and that sometimes, the line between friendship and something more is thinner than it seems — especially when Draco Malfoy is involved.
(Also, Midas insists on commenting on everything like an overdramatic bard, and honestly? He’s not wrong.)

Summary
“Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
“Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
And Lily Potter stepped aside.
Voldemort stared at her.
“... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
“No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
"You belong to me now" he whispered.
And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

Summary
For Harry dating Daphne was supposed to be a calm, elegant affair — maybe the occasional Hogsmeade date, a stolen kiss in the library. Instead, Harry is in a romantic relationship with a girlfriend whose idea of affection might violate at least three Ministry regulations.

Summary
Hogwarts has many legends.
"The Boy Who Lived." "The Silver Princess." And, somehow, "The Ice King."
Harry hates that last one. He'd tell you why, but he's too busy accidentally proving everyone right.
