Summary
Petunia wasn't the smart one. Or the pretty one. Or the magical one. But she was cunning, resourceful, and she knew what she wanted from life... and she got it.
So when her nephew turns up on her doorstep one cold November morning, she sees it as the opportunity that it is.
---
This was an odd little earworm of a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. I'm much more inclined to shorter works, so it's a bit of a patchwork story.
Note on the tags. Petunia is... Petunia. She is not really 'Nice' or 'Good' but she's not 'Mean' or 'Evil' either. She's a selfish, self-centered woman with a brittle sense of self-esteem and a drive to be recognized as successful in her own right. I tagged it 'Good' because that was the closest I could get to 'not the horrible person from the book, but not really even close to a Molly'.
Also: I will not be tagging every single person who appears in the fic, only those with reoccurring roles. This is not a bashing fic and I've done as best as possible to give rational(ish) 'good intentions' explanations for the canon shenanigans.

Harold the Normal Worldbook (aka Author's Notes) by Khriskin
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
04 Jun 2026

Summary
SPOILERS SWEETIE! (Do not read unless you don't mind spoilers for all the HtN stories.)
This is a worldbook (or wiki) for the Harold the Normal universe. It contains my notes on characters, locations, plot points, running gags, a bibliography, etc.
This story 'verse has completely gotten away from me. I have a LOT of threads going at this point and it's bogged down my ability to get words on paper because I'm worried about contradicting myself. So this is a 'fic' in which I will be sharing all of my in-universe notes (and how they differ from canon).
!!!!! This 'fic' will be updated as I work, so please don't bookmark it unless you want to be spammed. !!!!!
Also, I figured if my Dad has to listen to me rambling about all of this, y'all might enjoy it too! ;)

Summary
Quirinus Quirrell has been Quirrell and Quirinus and Q, but he's always been the sort of Ravenclaw that was driven to know -why- some knowledge was forbidden.
Tom was never Tommy or Thomas or Tam and has always been Voldemort (and always been Tom), and was the sort of Slytherin that never cared about the why's at all.
Or: Quirinus's Harold'verse version of his Tragic Backstory (from his/their POV), from Quirinus to Quirrellmort (1974-1991)
* * *
Because of the intertwined timelines, dates and locations mark the start of each section, but some sections cover multiple years (and some only parts of a single day.) Full timeline of the Harold'verse can be found in the worldbook fic.
My Quirrell (and Tom) are not as canon-compliant as they might have been, but the same can be said for most of the Harold'verse. I hope you enjoy them regardless!
If you haven't heard the phrase before, the title comes from the saying: "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades"

Harold Evans Dursley Is Not Prepared [Paused] by Khriskin
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
14 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
NOTE: Story is currently on hiatus, I will be finishing An Ode to Normal first and then circling back to the side stories.
This is the story of a Harry Potter who grew up as a Dursley and is Perfectly Normal (and also a wizard). He thinks magic is brilliant but that the non-wizarding world is just as cool.
He's got a family that loves him (in their own slightly dysfunctional ways) and is the same little boy-- but not the -same- little boy he's always been.
And he's on the train to Hogwarts.
---
This is Harry's POV of the An Ode to Normal timeline. It is a -much- slower pace than AOtN and attempts to smooth over some of the canon headaches via universe tweaking. All major plot points (other than the Dursleys) remain the same as of now.
This can be read independently of the other works in this collection.

Summary
This is the story of a Petunia Dursley who saw Harry Potter sleeping on her stoop and said 'How can this benefit me?'
And it's the story of Harold Evans Dursley who grew up knowing there was power in being polite and that sometimes getting people to do what you want was easier than you'd think. Also, having Dudley sit on the kids trying to punch you works like a charm.
And it's the story of Dudley Dursley who is determined to squash bullies, be polite, and do the best he can at--well, everything. He's going to learn languages and battle maths and end up working at Grunnings with his brother. And everything will be totally brill.
This is a story of book clubs and bridge, parseltongue shenanigans and owl-backed child mafias, of all the things that happen while they're not at Hogwarts-- and all the stuff that does.
It's a story about Harold the Normal. He's here to learn magic and go home... because the rest of his life is waiting for him.
