    Summary

    Severus Snape was a pragmatist. He did not believe in life after death and second chances.

    Unfortunately, no one asked him.

    After dying from Nagini's bite during the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus awakens in his fifteen-year-old body moments after the infamous werewolf incident in the Shrieking Shack. Armed with decades of knowledge and an unhealthy amount of bitterness, he decides to change the future.

    Severus Snape's plan was simple enough:

    1. Patent the Wolfsbane Potion and other potions that were not invented in 1975.
    2. Find the Dark Lord's Horcruxes and destroy them.
    3. Keep Lily as far away from James Potter as humanly possible.

    Severus still didn't understand how werewolf taming had gotten into this list...

    Summary

    When Senior Auror Harry Potter is strongly encouraged into volunteering for an experimental Ministry time-travel program, he plans to spend his year in the past sabotaging Tom Riddle’s rise. Heroic, right?

    What he doesn’t expect is a timeline where Tom, upon opening the Chamber of Secrets, finds piles of gold instead of a basilisk and becomes a billionaire. He still has plans for power… but they’re not exactly hostile.

    Harry decides to lay low for the rest of the mission. Except… laying low has never exactly been his strong suit, has it?

    Or:

    Tom is handsome, young, rich, dangerously intrigued, and doesn’t take no for an answer. Also, handsome.

    Harry is forty, poor, annoyed, and just wants decent crisps for once. And what does Tom Riddle want from him?

    Summary

    Harry Potter died believing his story had already been written.

    Betrayed, scarred by war, and exhausted by a destiny he never chose, Harry's final moments were supposed to be the end. Instead, lightning carries him back to 1943-before Voldemort rose, before the war began, and before Tom Riddle became the monster history remembers.

    With nothing but his scars and memories of a future that must never happen, Harry wants only one thing: to disappear. No prophecies. No heroism. No more wars. Just a quiet life where nobody knows his name.

    But fate has never been kind enough to leave Harry Potter alone.

    Because the boy walking through Hogwarts' halls is not yet the Dark Lord Harry remembers. He is Tom Riddle-a brilliant, ambitious, and dangerous boy standing on the edge of becoming a monster.
    Harry knows what Tom will become. Tom knows there is something impossible about Harry. And as distrust turns into curiosity and hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous, the two find themselves drawn together by a connection neither of them can understand.

    Between lightning and serpents lies a choice.

    A second chance.

    A war waiting to be rewritten.

    Summary

    Four figures flash before Harry's eyes before he dies. Four people had died one way or another for him. Four people he wished he'd had more time with.

    He won't get to see two of the four but perhaps if he survives Severus Snape as his new warden he might get to see the other two.

    Summary

    “Secondly it is with great sadness I must announce that dear Professor Cuthbert Binns has decided to move on and is no longer here to teach. He has been replaced by our new History of Magic teacher, Professor Evans, whose wife will also be joining our staff. Madam Evans will be joining Madam Pomphrey in the hospital wing as our new healer."

    Life at Hogwarts is not what Harry had ever expected. He had wanted fun and adventure and to possibly make a few new friends, but half the students think they know everything about him, the other half do nothing but stare. Each of his professors seem to have wildly different expectations when it comes to his abilities and a slightly bossy hospital matron seems to know every time he so much as sneezes.

    Harry and Hermione have endured hell and burly survived. Voldemort may have died but his beliefs certainly didn't and its time they took matters into their own hands.

    Will altering their past truly save the future?
