    Summary

    With one of her soul seals weakened due to the dementor encounters Harry has had throughout the year Harry unknowingly gives a soulcry. Weak and warped as it is only one answers.

    Ardyn was betrayed, murdered and then caged for two thousand years with nobody but the daemons in his head for company. When the call comes his daemons for the first time fall silent. So Ardyn follows the call to its source, because the alternative is unacceptable.

    He has suffered for Bahamut's supposed prophecy long enough. He refuses to do so anymore. And if the one calling him makes for a good excuse to leave this wretched realm and can give his anger and the destructive force that is his magic a direction? Even better.

    Or: Ardyn Izunia does not join Niflheim in their war effort and Harry Potter finds her first soulbonded. The changes that follow are nothing anybody could've anticipated.

    Summary

    Cedric Diggory’s death shatters Harry Potter and Privet Drive becomes a battleground he cannot survive. Driven to desperation, Harry attempts to end his own life, but the Prophecy and Death Seals react violently, ripping open a dragel inheritance too powerful to contain.

    Now feral and barely conscious, Harry inadvertently summons Maurice Elswood, his dragel mentor.

    What Maurice finds is worse than expected: a tormented child in halfling form, a dead man, two unconscious humans, and a Torvak hunting beacon hidden in the walls of a suburban home.

    Whisked to Nevarah for safety, Harry must recover from forced inheritance and unravel the truth, before those hunting him strike again.

    Summary

    What if Harry was stolen as a babe? What if he wasn’t a real Potter? What if he wasn’t even born on July 31?

    Our story starts in fourth year for our young hero. When faced by a massive Hungarian Horntail, he tries to speak to her, hoping that Parsel is close enough to be understood. He is surprised when his dragon recognises Harry as DragonKin and breathes fire on him to crack his inheritance seal.

    Confused, Harry confides in his mentor and with his help prepares for the coming changes. Then an attack by Grindilows when in the Black Lake brings Harry to the brink of death and triggers his inheritance early.

    But what a surprise that inheritance turns out to be.

    Summary

    To rebalance a world spinning toward disaster, Lady Magic recruits an unlikely and understandably reluctant champion- the failed, thoroughly unmourned, recently departed Severus Snape, allowing him to return back to life in his fifth year, before his pivotal “Mudblood moment” as a fully repentant, far wiser, less angry version of his former young self. Snape has a Herculean task ahead. Can he fix himself enough to unite the magical world and revive a dying planet?

    -----

    Slight AU of canon- two pivotal events are different:

    1)Lily and James really are flirting in the scene where Snape is hanging upside-down.
    2)Snape dies in the Shrieking Shack before he can give his memories to Harry, so Harry never walks to his death a willing sacrifice and dies trying his best to take Voldemort with him. He fails to do so. Harry did collect all the 3 Hallows and is still Master of Death, though. He and Lady Magic convince Death to send Snape back to 1976 to right what went wrong.

    The rest of the changes are through Snape's (and sometimes Harry's or others) actions as this story diverges very quickly from canon.
