Summary
Harry has some weird words on his left wrist. That must be one of those strange things that Aunt Petunia hates so much. But it's okay! He likes them.
Then, it all turns even weirder. Hogwarts, magic, a Headmaster and a Dark Lord await Harry - he would prefer if they all just left him alone, thank you very much.
But when has it ever mattered what Harry wants?

Summary
One would think traveling 52 years into the past would allow Harry some much desired anonymity, but unfortunately the malfunctioning Triwizard Cup spat Harry out on the quidditch pitch in the middle of a game. There's no lying about his provenance while a shiny plaque on the base of the Cup announces to everyone he is 'Harry Potter, Hogwarts Champion, 1994.'
Swept up by the ministry and sworn to secrecy by the Unspeakables, Harry is left to navigate the past on his own. Good thing his great-grandparents are willing to take him in - even if they're a little more into blood purity than Harry had expected - and Hogwarts is willing to welcome him back - even if he's a novelty to everyone as the time traveling Champion.
At least Harry will have the familiarity of Gryffindor Tower to ease his homesickness. Or he would, if the sorting hat hadn't put him in Slytherin, where he's forced to share a dorm with none other than Tom Riddle.
---
In which Harry is determined to prevent Voldemort's rise, even if he has to stalk, bribe, threaten, and marry Tom Riddle to do it.

Summary
When Harry presented as an Omega after the rest of his classmates, it was a surprise. When he went into his first heat, reacting like a bonded Omega, well unfortunately, some omegas had atypical heats. When he made it out of the graveyard, mostly fine minus the expected trauma, it was a bloody miracle.
It was too bad that no one recalled that centuries before Bond Marks were called Soul Marks.
Alternatively, the Locket Horcrux has the perspective Voldemort never did and decides to scrap all of his plans in favor of rebuilding the Wizarding World and putting himself back together as a courting gift to his soulbound omega.
