    Summary

    Harry Potter, marked by a scar and misfortune, has spent seventeen years as an unwanted orphan in Godric's Hollow a place where magic is frowned upon. When the village offers him as sacrifice to the vampire of the Forbidden Forest, he expects death. Instead, Severus Snape—remembering a kindness shown by Harry's mother long ago—offers him sanctuary in his hidden cave.

    Surrounded by potions, books, and warmth he's never known, Harry begins a new life as Snape's companion, keeping house and offering his blood in exchange for safety.

    Summary

    "Not Harry! Please, not Harry!" Lily cried.

    "Avada Kedavra!"

    Voldemort stepped over Lily Potter's body and raised his wand at the child in the crib.

    "Any…" he paused. "...First words?"

    That pause changes everything.

    The Boy Who Lived becomes the boy who was taken. Raised in darkness, Harry reshapes it from within. But some bonds run deeper than either of them expected.

    Summary

    Five years after the war, Auror Harry Potter touches the Mirror of Erised and wakes up in James Potter's body on the Hogwarts Express—eleven years old, first year, 1971.

    Sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, Harry becomes the unlikely protector of young Severus Snape. He doesn't bully. He doesn't follow house divisions. He sits at the Gryffindor table with his mother and refuses to leave Severus alone.

    But changing the past is complicated. Older students notice. Lucius Malfoy notices. And as the years pass, Harry realizes the boy who shadows him everywhere—brilliant, loyal, defensive Severus—has become something more than a friend.

    Summary

    After Sirius falls through the veil, Harry realizes he has a choice: die as the Chosen One or live as himself. He chooses himself.

    Armed with self-taught Apparition and a photograph torn from a muggle magazine, Harry disappears to Egypt. He trades his wand for anonymity, his galleons for a flat in Cairo, and his destiny for the simple freedom of surviving one more day.

    When Dumbledore sends Snape to drag him back, Harry refuses. And slowly, against all odds, he convinces Snape that they both deserve to live too.

    Summary

    At twenty-four, Harry Potter thinks his biggest problem is survivor's guilt and endless nightmares. Then he accidentally activates a time-travel ritual and wakes up a thousand years in the past, face-to-face with Salazar Slytherin himself who's surprisingly interested in the time-traveling wizard who cooks great pasta and magic.

    As Harry settles into founding-era Hogwarts, he discovers something unexpected: peace. No prophecies, no expectations, just chocolate cakes, flying races with Godric, and a careful, brilliant founder who's learning to trust again.

    But someone's watching from the shadows.
