    Summary

    Latin; a dead language with no practical applications except perhaps the deciphering of old texts and as a particularly quaint party trick.

    Thankfully, as Harry finds out, Latin is not as dead as he was first taught when he decided to learn the language. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, of course; he loved Latin, and would have been proud to know it even had it been as useless as it was pretty. But in the world of Wizards, the world of Magic, Harry realizes his rare talent with words is particularly valuable, and allows him to use magic that no one's ever heard of, that no one's ever seen. But as time goes on, and he becomes more and more entangled in the webs spun by those around him, he starts to realize just how deep the magical rabbit hole goes and how dangerous power like his can be.

    All Harry had ever wanted was for the world to make sense.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.

    (If only there was someone who understood...)

     
    A re-telling of the books in which Harry has more than one power the Dark Lord knows not.

    Summary

    "When an Alpha is in adolescence, he is in search of a Presented Alpha, historically a parent or other protective figure, from which to learn. If the Presented Alpha accepts the responsibility of the adolescent, an instinctual Imprinting will occur, and a mentorship will begin, lasting until the adolescent Alpha's own Presentation."

    Harry reads the passage again and again before rubbing at his eyes, like blinding them will remove the text from his brain entirely. Across the table, he knows Hermione is watching him with pity, Ron with open disgust–not for Harry, never for Harry, but at the thought of anyone Imprinting on Voldemort. Fuck, Harry can't believe he Imprinted on Voldemort, his body apparently so desperate for a guide in navigating these strange Alphan waters that it latched onto the first one it could find, nevermind that this Alpha wants to kill him.

    Summary

    Prior to Hogwarts, Harry had stayed mostly invisible to the teachers and adults around him his whole life. But Tom Riddle, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, looked at Harry like he was something to be wanted.

    It's not the first time that Harry's had his stance corrected in Professor Riddle's practical Defense classes—the professor frequently advised students on small adjustments, shifting a foot back here, correcting a wrist swish there—but it's the first time that Riddle has wrapped his entire hand around Harry's, adjusting the angle of his wand movement for an Alohomora.

    All of a sudden, a frisson of warmth runs up Harry's arm—just like the first time he had grasped his phoenix and holly wand in Ollivander's shop—and a shower of golden sparks shoots out the tip.

    He gasps in surprise. "What was that?" he asks, instinctively taking a step backwards and bumping against Riddle standing behind him. Riddle's hand is still wrapped around Harry's, and his whole arm—his whole body, actually—feels so nice, buzzing with pleasure and warmth and the feeling of pure magic, exactly like the moment that he knew instantly his wand was his.
