Summary
*Updates Weekly*
After Molly Weasley reports shocking abuse on the part of Petunia and Vernon Dursley, Albus Dumbledore makes an official decision to Turn A Blind Eye. After all, the Dursleys *are* the key to Harry's Blood Wards. Though McGonagall is appalled, she is ultimately unwilling to take a stand against Albus.
Enraged at this dual neglect, Severus Snape decides to take matters into his own hands. Little does he know that his attempts to modify Harry's Blood Wards will result in *accidentally adopting* The Boy Who Lived. Shocked and horrified, Severus is left with no choice but to move forward as best he can. After all, there's no use crying over spilled potions. . .
This fic is set just after the Weasley siblings rescue Harry from the barred window/canned soup/cat flap situation in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. It is broadly inspired by many of my favorite Snape/Harry Adoption Fics, which I have gathered into the collection Snape_Harry_FoundFamily. Thanks, all y'all, for creating such delightful fics.

Summary
After death Harry expected peace, not a second childhood.
An incident long before his birth has left Death waiting for a suitable master. The world must be balanced, after all, and Harry, unwilling participant that he is, finds himself standing squarely on the scales.
Unfortunately, Death has a flair for the dramatic and seems to enjoy making Harry’s life harder than it needs to be.
or
A classic time-travel fix-it where old enemies become allies, and a meddling old man has sunk his teeth deeper into the wizarding world than anyone ever realized.

Summary
Harry Potter enters the Wizarding world expecting answers. He does not expect a home, a found family, or a destiny that leaves no room for refusal.
Sorted into Slytherin and burdened with a prophecy he never asked for, Harry is drawn toward magic others fear to name. As he uncovers the truth behind the legends of his parents, the myth of James Potter fractures, revealing cruelty and ambition, while Lily Evans’ strength and sacrifice emerge in stark relief. The deeper Harry digs, the more he learns that heroism is often built on omission, and survival demands more than blind faith in the Light.
Guided by an unlikely mentor who becomes the father he never had, Harry embraces knowledge the Wizarding world would rather he ignore. Determined to defeat the Dark Lord by any means necessary, he learns that darkness is not the same as evil, and power is only as dangerous as the hand that wields it.
In the end, Harry makes a choice that defines his future. He will not be a martyr, a symbol, or a legacy built on lies. He will choose himself, his magic, and his mother’s name.
