“I need this.” Harry finally said, looking up at the man with watery eyes. “You don’t know what it’s like. It’s all crushing down on me, drowning me. I … I can’t. I …” he squeezed his eyes shut to halt the tears from falling. “I know, ok? I’m not an idiot. I know that this is not good, and not healthy, and that the Boy Who Lived should not to this. But I can’t stop it. I need this!” he pleaded with the man to understand. One person, there had to be one bloody person in this stupid castle who understood. This was the only way he could function - and he had to function because he could not let anybody else die or be harmed in any way.

Summary
Severus Snape doesn't think Albus' plan to martyr Potter will work out and knows nothing of the secret setup to give Harry a chance to live through the killing curse a second time. He decides that what they really needed was to start hunting the Horcruxes years ago instead of waiting for children to do it for them. He sends back his private notes and everything needed to brew a potion to strip off the spells that are restricting his behavior. He expects that his younger self will receive the information in 1992 at best.
On the Summer Solstice, 1985, a listless Severus Snape is surprised by a generous and lucrative gift from his future self.
Featuring: Reluctant schemer turned proud parent. A secret adoption. Narcissa Malfoy and most of the Hogwarts staff trying to get Snape married. Lord Prince decides that a half-blood grandson is better than no grandson, provided he's invented something impressive enough to make up for it. Snape moonlighting as an undercover pedo-catcher to keep his spy skills sharp. The Hogwarts Staff Room betting pool.

Summary
Harry Potter was thrilled to be a wizard, to be going to school for being a wizard, and to learn all about how to do magic!
So it was a surprise indeed to find no one liked him much and oh gosh, how many points did he just lose?
Or:
Teachers who didn't like him, housemates who hated him, unfair treatment and points taken away all the time, well, at least he had Hedwig which was exactly one friend more than he'd ever had before!
Or:
A magic window, secret rooms, baffling attacks, magic that didn't like to come out in class and an entire host of weirdness, Harry Potter might be new to magic but life in a cupboard taught one thing for sure....
Fill your pockets with food any chance you get!
And run like hell, cause that's important too!

Summary
"Get out!" she said and even though his legs barely obeyed, Harry did as he was told. Then his aunt took his suitcase out of the boot and put it down next to her nephew.

"Goodbye," were her last words, then she pulled the driver's door shut and only moments later, the lights of the car had disappeared into the darkness. // Harry Potter's life changes completely for the second time since his eleventh birthday. Suddenly he finds himself alone in a dirty working-class town - abandoned by his aunt and not knowing what to expect now. All he has is an old letter from his mother and the certainty that his previous life will now be turned upside down again // (A Harry/Snape Fanfiction)

Summary
When Voldemort possessed Harry at the Ministry he had felt something akin to peace. It was easy. Too easy.
What happens if the Horcrux in Harry actually acts like a soul bond and possessing him was the last thing that kept them apart? What if that was what it would take to bring sanity back into Voldemort's life?
This is a story exploring magical theory, incorporating existing Muggle wiccan practices, relationships of nearly every variety and of emotional growth. Harry learns that not everything is black and white, evil and good. Tom actually tries to make things "better" in the Wizarding World but he's still a pretty messed up individual. Maybe Harry will be helping with that?
