Summary
This is my Harry Potter retelling, where Harry is a shy, kind, but traumatized quiet child. Lots of inter-house friendships and poor, underappreciated Hufflepuffs.

“No, I am not simply willing to accept that answer,” Alice Longbottom snarled, bracing both hands against the desk and leaning forward to loom into the clerk’s face. “Now you’re either going to tell me where my godson is, or you are going to give me the name of someone who can.”

"I- I- Lily, listen to me. Listen to me, please-"
"There's nothing more we can do."
"He will kill you!"
"Then he'll kill me, Severus!"
"Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."
"Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"
"I don't want you to die!"
- The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

In which Albus Dumbledore keeps a bit closer eye on young Harry, and finds the Dursley family to be Most Unsatisfactory. That does, however, leave the problem of where to stash the lad - only temporarily, of course, until he can find someplace more suitable.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy has spent years desperately searching for a way to remove his Mark. Now, he’s out of time. Salvation - of a kind - comes from the resurgence of an ancient House, under a very familiar name, that could potentially overwrite the Dark Lord’s claim with its own. Of course, swearing his House into vassalage to a fourteen-year-old boy with diametrically opposed values and plenty of reason to dislike his family is far from ideal, but…well, Lucius has always been a practical man. Harry Potter is better than an insane, vengeful Dark Lord, and if that ancient lineage comes back into play? Well, perhaps his family will simply be the first among many; and this, an opportunity to secure a position of high favour...
Harry Potter does not like Lucius Malfoy, and trusts him even less. The last thing he wants is to bind their families together. But Malfoy is a convincing man and his offers and arguments end up sounding so very sensible. He doesn't want Malfoy’s resources and wealth to end up in Voldemort’s hands either, and if Malfoy is truly offering to help him with the things that are important to Harry in return, well…when has anyone else ever really done that before?

Summary
They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.
---------
Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.
Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

Summary
When Harry Potter gets resorted into Slytherin in the middle of his fifth year, all doubts vanish: the Ministry is corrupt, and Voldemort is pulling the strings. Between unfriendly roommates, Umbridge's sadistic detentions and disturbing Occlumency lessons, Harry's life gradually becomes a nightmare in which loneliness seems to be his only companion.
Meanwhile, Draco unexpectedly finds himself caught up in a task he did not ask for, forcing him to face strenuous choices between love and hate—between life and death.
(non-con element only in one chapter, and not between Draco and Harry)

Summary
Ron shuddered. “Whatever you say, mate.” But he couldn’t shake the jittery feeling of spiders crawling over his skin. “So if not spiders,” he asked, eager to change the subject, “what are you afraid of?”
Harry snorted, as if the answer were obvious. “Voldemort killed my parents, Ron.”
“He doesn’t count,” Ron protested, pointedly avoiding using the name. It still made him uncomfortable how Harry could speak the name so easily. “Everyone’s scared of him. I mean little things. Like heights, snakes, that kind of thing.”
Harry was quiet for a while. So long that Ron assumed he was ignoring his question. Which was fine. It was quite personal, after all.
“I suppose…I suppose I don’t like small spaces. Y’know, being trapped.”OR
Small moments in the series where Ron realizes just how bad Harry’s home life is with the Dursleys.

Summary
He pressed the next awaiting tape across his chest, settling the end of it above the other. Harry allowed his squared shoulders to smooth down on either side, relishing in the way they collapsed as he began to feel more at home inside his own body. Harry repeated the process on both mounds, his hands working hurriedly and harshly.
Harry’s chest was smooth all the way up, interrupted only by the minor wrinkles of the tape binding it. Euphoria flamed in his belly, rippling through each limb, tickling the back of his neck. His lion’s mane was made of adhesive and silicone, but it was a mane nonetheless. He hugged his arms to his torso, finally able to look at all of himself in the mirror. He rested his forehead against the mirror, a breath drifting out of the gap between his lips.
The world around him paled, sensations trickling away into sand aside from the feel of glass rubbing his damp face. Harry scratched absently at the fabric stretched across the expanse of his chest, eyelids fluttering contentedly. He wasn’t the Dursley’s freak niece anymore–if he’d ever been, anyway. He was their freak nephew, and that he could handle.
Or; Harry binds in the bathroom. Ron finds him. Awkward hurt/comfort ensues

Summary
Harry’s hands cramp and shake as writes his lines on dotted paper. I must not tell lies. Each letter is painstakingly, properly formed, equal heights and properly rounded. Anything less would mean re-writing the entire page and Harry doesn’t want to do that.
Across the room, Umbridge stares at Harry, her eyes appearing enlarged by the glasses perched at the end of her nose.
“Keep writing, Potter.”
A loud knock echoes around the room and Harry jumps, startled.
“Stay put.” Umbridge scowls at him, and gets up to see who it is. She opens the classroom door.
Oh, Merlin. It’s Sirius.
~~~
Aka. Sirius gets his godson away from Umbridge and makes sure Harry knows that he's loved.

Summary
Going into his third year after the worst beating of his life wasn't necessarily something Harry was expecting to do that year. Sure, he was pretty used to being slapped around by now, but when his aunt Marge came to stay for a week, she had taken it to a new level of hell. He would've rather faced down the Basalisk again than spend even a moment more with this evil woman and her dog.
Or- Harry gets abused by his aunt and uncle, accidentally blows up his aunt, then has to pretend that everything is fine when his friends get worried. Oh, and there seems to be a murderer after him, but that's besides the point.
