“Out onto platform 9¾ stepped a young man. He carried no luggage, beside a leather satchel over his shoulder. He was tall, at just over 6 feet, with dark unruly hair and emerald eyes hidden beneath James Bond type sunglasses. He was dressed well, clearly in high-quality navy blue robes.

The man's name was Lord Harrison James Black-Potter.”

Or, the title just describes the fic really well. It’s that really cliché one

There are hidden secrets in Wizarding Britain, and when Harry’s 16th birthday comes around, he’s going to discover who he really is - royalty.

Something happened the night Harry went to visit his parents' grave. Something that changed the course of history.

The twins come over for breakfast one morning. Some stuff happens and one thing leads to another, revealing the true identities of the Marauders...

(One-shot sequel to "A Christmas Miracle")

Harry and Hermione Potter have been happily married for 6 years, and have a 5-year-old son called James. However, they are keeping secrets from each other. Neither of them knows that their spouse is magical, but when James starts displaying signs of accidental magic, things begin to unravel.

In the summer after Harry’s horrendous Fourth Year, he’s once again stuck back at his dreaded relatives. His dreams are haunted by the events of the Third Task, he’s cut off completely from the Wizarding World, and his friends’ letters aren’t helping.

Finally, on the night of his 15th birthday, he, and all his possessions, are taken away to the past, where Harry finally receives the training he needs.

Meanwhile, the world believes him to be dead.

When he returns, will they even recognize him? And, has Voldemort finally met his match?

Update 30/05/22: Sequel, 'Dudley's Rose' now posted!

In the Summer before what should be Harry's 7th year, he is overcome by several changes. How will this influence the outcome of the war, and what discoveries will be made because of it?

Modern AU | HHr

With COVID, Harry and Hermione haven't seen the Weasleys for over a year. Now, however, they've come for a visit - with their two-month-old son they haven't told anybody about.

“Lily, it’s him! Take Harry and run!”

On Halloween 1981, events went slightly differently, because Voldemort only cast one Killing Curse that night.

That, and two ancient spells of unknown origin, that left the two adult Potters in comas for an unknown period of time.

To protect them, Dumbledore let the world believe them to be dead, while little Harry still went to the Dursleys, and had his adventures every year at Hogwarts, while Sirius ended up in Azkaban, with no one to prove his innocence.

However, over the December holidays of Harry’s fifth year, The Potters awaken unexpectedly.

How will having his parents back change Harry’s life? Can they truly be a family once again?

“You know, you and Harry would be great together.”

Hermione looked up from her book, which rested on the table before her. She was seated in the Hogwarts library, and was surprised to see Lavender Brown standing beside her and smiling conspiratorially. The buxom blonde was not normally found in the library, and she’d certainly never come to talk to Hermione like that before.

“I said that you and Harry would be great together.”

Hermione shook her head, “I don’t think so. I really don’t see Harry that way.”

“Oh, come on, Hermione! Don’t tell me you’ve never even thought about it. And you have to agree that Harry really has turned into a hottie.”

Everyone’s been trying to set them up. From Lavender to Ron – everyone at Hogwarts thinks Harry and Hermione would make a great couple.

Everyone, it seems, except for Harry and Hermione themselves.

But, not all is as it seems, and especially not at Hogwarts.

A Sixth Year AU

“Harry was tired. Tired of being stuck with his horrid relatives, tired of doing all the chores, tired of Dudley’s gang beating him up, tired of the nightmares, just tired, tired, tired, tired, tired.”

In the summer after Fourth Year, Harry is struggling with the aftermath of the Triwizard Tournament. Nightmares plague his sleep, and his Aunt and Uncle are doing their best to make his summer a misery. Harry’s tired of it, and just wishes for someone to help him - to help him break free and run away from it all.

His salvation comes the night before his 15th birthday, while he’s awake because of yet another nightmare, fists clenched tightly in his sheets as he struggles to control his anger. His salvation comes in the form of an owl - a nondescript, grey little thing that flutters irritatingly at the window before he opens it. His salvation comes with the letter it brought, written on aged parchment in a looped hand, inviting him to finally receive the training he so desperately needs. He takes the mysterious offer…

…and isn’t seen again for the next six years.

As far as she knew, the stag-shaped birthmark had been with her her entire life and, as such, she had never questioned it.

That is, until she came across an unusual book in the Hogwarts library during what was considered her eighth year.”

OR

Soulmates exist in the Wizarding World, but are considered a very private matter. As such, they are never discussed in public. Because of this, muggleborns are unaware of their existence. One such muggleborn is Hermione Granger. However, when Hermione comes across a curious book during her eighth year at Hogwarts, she discovers something that might just change her whole life.

HMS Harmony MAYhem - SoulMAYt Marks  - Prompt Fill

Sequel to ‘In Six Summers’ Time’.

A year after the Epilogue takes place, Harry comes home from work to find the phone ringing in the hallway. He answers it, as one is apt to do, only to find it’s his cousin Dudley, whom he hasn’t seen for 10 years. It turns out Dudley needs help with his 6 year-old-daughter, Rose, who is magical.

Harry is a secret agent for the wizarding sector of MI6. While on an undercover assignment in America, he meets the muggleborn witch Hermione Granger and falls head-over-heels for her. However, she only knows him by his undercover identity. How will she react once the truth is revealed? Will their love survive the test? 

…::-::…

“My name’s James,” he introduced himself, “James Marsh.”

The woman looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, “Not Jo Marsh?”

Harry blinked, “I’m sorry?”

She rolled her eyes, “It’s from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The main character’s name is Jo Marsh.”

Harry smirked internally. 

‘A bookworm then.’

“And what might your name be?”

“Hermione,” the woman replied, “Hermione Granger.”

It was all Ginny’s fault. If she hadn’t dared Hermione, none of this would ever have happened! Not that all of it was bad, but, well, it was her fault anyway. And Seamus too, who organised the whole thing in the first place.

Muggle!AU - with a twist 😉

In response to a Harmony Hollow Fest Prompt:

A Haunted House? by Aeyliana

"Harry and Hermione spend a spooky night alone in Number 12 Grimmauld House. It's always been a rickety townhouse full of sinister memorabilia and bad memories. Yet as the night draws out, both of them start to jump at shadows. Were there always those strange whispers? And since when was there a basement?! Perhaps they aren't as alone as they thought."

The summer after Harry’s fourth year, he’s quietly stewing in the anger caused by his friends' less-than-useless letters. By the time he joins up with them, he’s positively furious and lets them know so in a rather loud argument that causes Ron and Hermione to be more than a little scared of him. However, Tonks notices something while coming across their confrontation, and intervenes, dragging Harry away.  When she tells him what she witnessed, his outlook on life is changed rather drastically.

Twelve years after leaving the Wizarding World behind, Harry Potter had made a name for himself in the mundane world One of Britain's top prosecution barristers and the youngest member of the Queen's Counsel in history. However, his peace is disturbed when he takes on a new case. A woman has been murdered, her killer caught. Harry's taken on the role of chief prosecutor. It's a choice he'll live to regret when, one night, he's disturbed by a member of his past he'd much rather have left behind.

Hermione never enjoyed her family reunions.

They were annoying events, held by her parents once every two years roughly a month or so before Christmas. She’d managed to avoid the last few, citing various excuses every time, but her luck had run out now that the war was over. At least, this time, she had Harry with her. He always attracted trouble and, sometimes, trouble livened things up a bit.

Title and Chapter Titles from ‘I Can See You’ - Taylor’s Version

Harry Potter had been through a lot in his nearly eighteen years of life. However, getting charged with murder and convicted of the crime of killing the man he was prophesied to defeat certainly took the cake.

Imprisoned for something he had no control over, Harry believed all hope was lost. However, a year after his incarceration, a fellow prisoner burst into his cell through an escape tunnel dug in the wrong direction and changed Harry’s life as he gave him both the means and the opportunity to enact revenge upon those who had wronged him.

Adopted by the most feared Dark Lord in the Wizarding World’s history, would Harry fall victim to the darkness that had grown and festered inside him? Or would he learn to live again?
