Summary
A week has passed since Sirius's death and Harry is not allowed to grieve. His friends think he is ridiculous, and when he tries to open up to them, they abandon him. Harry wants to be alone, but Magic had other plans it seemed. Swept through a mysterious corridor, Harry finds himself in the past and staring at an old enemy in a new light. Finding comfort in the arms of what he thought was his enemies, Harry began to reflect on everything he thought he knew as he slips into the Dark.

Summary
When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he is livid. He didn't bloody want to join a deadly tournament, but it seems like no one believes him, so he swears a wizarding oath.
Now everyone believes him, but he still isn't excused from the tournament. Almost on the point of wanting to give up on his magic, Death interferes because Death's chosen child can't lose his magic.
****
''This is why you are going to be perfect.'' Death almost croons, making Harry blush. ''If you're going with me to train, you will be back in no time. Time travels differently in my realm.''
Harry nods. He suspected something like that. ''Then I will go with you to train. It is only fair. The others are older and have more experience.''
''Harry, no!'' Dumbledore exclaims, but Harry knows it is too late. Death is already grasping his arm, and then everything turns dark around him.

Summary
AU. Harry Potter didn’t plan on becoming Slytherin’s newest spectacle, because he’s used to being the Slytherin outcast, a student with no friends—nor did he expect Tom Riddle to ever even acknowledge his existence.
It starts as a favor. A harmless arrangement. Something to keep the annoying Slytherin girls away and make life at Hogwarts a little easier for both of them. Pretending is simple enough when Tom is kind, attentive, and entirely too good at playing the part.
The problem is that somewhere between Tom being a perfect gentleman like opening doors, carrying his books to class, etc. Harry forgets where the act ends, and finds himself with real feelings for Tom. This results in complicated feelings in their supposed-to-be pretend relationship.
