    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    “Did it hurt, Your Majesty?”

    “Excuse me?”

    “Did it hurt?” Alastor repeats, leaning closer with a leer.

    “Did what hurt?” Lucifer replies, thoroughly perplexed. He tries to remember if he’d done anything that might be considered painful, recently.

    Alastor’s grin turns mean—sinister, even, as his voice crackles with static. “Why, when you fell from Heaven, of course!”

    Alastor gets cocky about harassing Lucifer, flies a little too close to the sun, and they both learn some things about themselves.

    Summary

    “So, Rosie.” Alastor straightened himself in his seat, taking his teacup and indulging in a sip. “Now that you’ve heard the tale, I come to you for advice on what to do with our little serpentine king. Please, enlighten me: why is Lucifer Morningstar acting so strangely around me?”

    Rosie took a deep breath and set her cup on its saucer. “How’s the tea, darling?” she asked, hands folded on her lap.

    Alastor blinked once, then twice. “Why, it’s lovely, as per usual.”

    Rosie smiled sweetly. “Good. Not too bitter?”

    “Not at all.”

    “And how’re the fingers, dear? They taste alright?”

    “They’re simply delightful.”

    “Is your chair nice and comfortable?”

    “The comfiest.”

    “You’re all relaxed?”

    “I’ve never felt so at home.”

    “Lucifer is in love with you.”

    Alastor spat out the tea he’d been drinking, which was quickly followed by a round of coughing so harsh you would think he was actively dying.

    Alastor has a chat with Rosie regarding Lucifer’s odd behavior.

    Rosie finds it all quite amusing.

    Alastor does not.

    Summary

    He hadn’t even managed to put on shoes when Charlie’s loud, desolated groan at the other end of the hotel had made him rush out of his room, and his slippers and the hems of his pyjama bottoms were slowly getting soaked through. Why the fuck had he even bothered to change? He loved Charlie (see constants no. 1-4), but even he had to admit his current discomfort was solely the result of the list of healthy bedtime rituals she’d organised for him when, allegedly, the bags under his eyes had started developing a gravitational pull.

    In which Lucifer has insomnia, the hotel is moderately alive, and Alastor is in over his head.

    Summary

    “I- I wasn’t trying to kill myself, Professor,” Harry said softly.

    Snape glared at him, only slightly less cold than usual. “Then just what were you trying to do?”

    “I was just going to… cut myself.”

    Snape blinked and kept his eyes closed for a moment, rolling them as he opened them once more. “Obviously.”
