    Summary

    "O, isn't this what my mother never wanted?" - Analicia Sotelo, 'South Texas Persephone'.

    Tom Riddle was not the only strange child to come out of Wool's. After eleven years of self-imposed exile, Amy Benson returns to Hogwarts to protect the only thing that matters: her precocious daughter, Mae. Offered the position of Potions Master, her alma mater seems like the safest place to keep Mae away from the darker elements of their world. But the wizarding world of 1957 is not the one Amy remembers, and while the threat of war may be over, she quickly discovers that peace in magical Britain is far from assured. As a radical new faction led by a charismatic Tom Gaunt rises to power in the Ministry, and a rapidly expanding Hogwarts braces for a post-war generation determined to leave its mark, Amy and Mae find that the secrets they keep for and from one another may be their undoing.

    Summary

    Harry did not know this and would not know this until Mrs. Granger mentioned it casually over a Christmas dinner years and years later-- but she and Mr. Granger reported the Dursleys for child abuse and neglect, over and over.

    The reports got lost-- minds scrubbed down, papers vanished-- but they kept calling in reports. They considered kidnapping. They couldn't imagine why the wizarding world might want to keep their chosen one somewhere so toxic, why they might want to keep this underfed child and his messy hair with those people.

    "My mother left me a blood protection spell," said Harry, whose scar had not ached in years. He poked at his mashed potatoes under the focused attention of Mrs. Granger's stern little forehead wrinkle. "I had to live with family, blood family."

    "Then they should have made them treat you right," Mrs. Granger said, as though it was that simple.

    Mr. Granger gave Harry another helping of peas.

    Summary

    What if, when Petunia Dursley found a little boy on her front doorstep, she took him in? Not into the cupboard under the stairs, not into a twisted childhood of tarnished worth and neglect—what if she took him in?

    Petunia was jealous, selfish and vicious. We will not pretend she wasn’t. She looked at that boy on her doorstep and thought about her Dudders, barely a month older than this boy. She looked at his eyes and her stomach turned over and over. (Severus Snape saved Harry’s life for his eyes. Let’s have Petunia save it despite them).

    Let’s tell a story where Petunia Dursley found a baby boy on her doorstep and hated his eyes—she hated them. She took him in and fed him and changed him and got him his shots, and she hated his eyes up until the day she looked at the boy and saw her nephew, not her sister’s shadow. When Harry was two and Vernon Dursley bought Dudley a toy car and Harry a fast food meal with a toy with parts he could choke on Petunia packed her things and got a divorce.

    Summary

    Lucius Malfoy made a terrible, terrible mistake (or an excellent, excellent decision - depending on who you asked) by choosing to give Hermione Granger the Dark Lord's diary. Ginny Weasley would have been so much easier and in retrospect, Lucius Malfoy would change everything.

    But then, in retrospect, a lot of people would change a lot of things.

    Summary

    Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are staying at Grimmauld, going through Sirius' things with Remus.

    Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Regulus Black's head breaks above water.

    Dumbledore isn't going to be able to keep the same secrets when a resurrected Death Eater encounters two thirds of the future Golden Trio. But Voldemort's desire for immortality means his favored General is exceedingly interested in her cousin's return to life.

    -----

    “Such magic is dark,” Remus breathed. “It isn’t even meant to exist. It would have required… I mean, a lot of blood, if this is blood magic… surely not…”

    Regulus sighed. Sirius had thought Remus’ stammering and wide eyes when his mind was overworking was cute. Reg disagreed. “Several human sacrifices,” he finished for him. “It would have taken several human sacrifices.” Their mother was certainly deranged enough to do it.

    “Is it reversible?” mini-Potter muttered.
