    Unlike many other members of the Order of the Phoenix, Hagrid always treated him with unwavering friendliness, but the Potions master rather suspected that the gamekeeper secretly thought of him as of some stubborn or dangerous creature that required special handling.

    Summary

    The conclusion of the events of his First Year at Hogwarts leaves Harry Potter feeling wary. When even Hermione is unhappy with authority figures, then obviously things have gotten serious. After much consideration, and a lot of research, Harry finds out just how dire Magical Britain's situation is.

    It turns out prejudices extend in every direction, and even Dumbledore isn't as innocent as he wants others to believe. In fact, he is complicit in many of the current problems they are facing.

    It seems obvious to Harry, that in order for things to change, he's going to have to make people want it. And the way to do that is, unsurprisingly, to use their own laws to make them see sense, even if it means he must commit immoral acts to see it done.

    After all, how could he be a new Dark Lord if he was using First Year Light Magic to make his point known?

    A tall shadow fell over the door, and the frigid temperature of the compartment sank even lower. All through this, Lupin remained unresponsive. For a moment, Harry wondered if he was somehow dead, and they just hadn't noticed.

    "And I'm sure a Severing Charm will be in his future, right?" Hermione asked with a quirky brow.

    "Naturally."

    "You really like that spell, huh, Harry?" Ron asked, looking confused. "Of all the ones you could have latched onto, that was the one you decided on? Not even a good old Flippendo Tria?"

    Harry's nose wrinkled at the very mention of such a spell. "I'm not so big on that one actually."

    "'Not so big on that one' he says," Ron grumbled. "Just goes for beheading people instead."

    Summary

    This is a collection of UNRELATED, unfinished stories that I like but haven't been able to continue frequently. Some will be updated and some will not. Some may be finished but most probably will not, at least, not any time soon. These are NOT abandoned, but do be aware that any updates will be sporadic, at best.

    Summary

    Life with the Dursleys was never easy, but when Harry was eight, it took a turn for the worse. By the time Hagrid shows up to deliver his letter and take him shopping, Harry has retreated into himself. A very reclusive Harry Potter arrives at Hogwarts and his need to protect himself may just thwart Dumbledore’s every plan for the Boy-Who-Lived.

    WIP. This is not finished. It may never be finished. Read At Your Own Risk.

    It’s not like he’d betray people for kicks but... Well, he wouldn’t shout a warning if one of the Dursleys was about to walk in front of a lorry.

    There were layers of protection spells all centered on the dangers of potion brewing. There was also something else woven in there that he nearly missed amidst the rest.

    It was an alert ward meant to recognize injury or severe distress.

    Harry marveled over that for a long time.

    "... to say that levitation works through magic makes about as much sense as to say that wind works through air."
    ---
    “I see,” Alaric said and he must have noticed how ridiculous Harry was, but he still wasn’t acting like it, which was nice, but mildly suspicious.
