Stories by Riley O'Reilley

After getting caught in an exploding time machine (long story) after a road-trip-turned-treasure-hunt across the United States (even longer story), Harry is blasted back to the past. Twenty years and some change, in fact. Landing in the bygone years of the 1970s, Harry gets the chance of lifetime to meet his parents. Or rather, the children they were. In their second year.

Hermione Granger just wants to get through her fifth year with her sanity intact. Of course someone decided to throw a tournament instead. Oh, and she might have a crush on the Gryffindor seeker. A slice-of-life story in which Hermione finds love against the backdrop of the Triwizard Tournament, Neville is the Boy-Who-Lived, and Harry Potter is Gryffindor's aloof seeker.

It's a dire time for the wizarding world. Albus Dumbledore has issued a grave warning that Lord Voldemort is attempting to return to power. Harry, however, is having absolutely none of this and has instead elected to leave the country. But Harry is about to find out that the New World means new troubles, ones he could never have imagined. The clock is counting down. But to what?

When a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes 'round the world. Zinnia Potter just wants to be free. Ginny Weasley is torn between the simple joy of life at the Burrow and her desire to come into her own as a person. Druella Tonks knows that she comes from a haunting legacy, knows that her real parents are locked away in Azkaban and left to rot. fem!Harry, fem!Draco, male!Hermione

In which Dora Tonks finds herself embroiled in a case of goblincide and pulled down a rabbit hole of goblin politics, Ministerial corruption, pureblood intrigue, and a mysterious masked assailant with dire intentions for the wizarding world. Meanwhile, Albus Dumbledore faces his final year of life having ironically just united the Deathly Hallows. Why is a wolf stalking him now?

In which James and Lily had another boy two years before Harry. But when their youngest is threatened by a cruel and uncaring fate, they must send young Charlie Potter away for his own safety, only for the boy to go missing, never to be found. Years later, a boy named Edwin Umbridge is about to discover the truth of his past and the stark reality of his future.

When Rita Skeeter's first article drops in Harry's fourth year, the contents are quite a bit more favorable toward Hermione Granger, describing her as Harry's one true best friend, always stalwart and by his side, and constantly sneaking looks. Much to Harry's chagrin, he realizes that she has a bloody point, doesn't she? What's a boy to do?

Harry Potter wasn't the first person entered into the Triwizard Tournament against his will. In fact, it's happened enough that there are rules in place to discourage such a thing. When Harry finds out that the binding magical contract spoken of so severely isn't actually binding him at all, but rather his mysterious cosigner, he decides to forego participation completely.

Harry Potter realizes he has feelings for Hermione Granger. Simple enough, right? Something to cope with, but maybe there's a way to make this work?

Without the influence of the house of snakes, with the company of four raucous boys instead, will a very different Snape escape his canon fate?

People loved to point out to Mafalda Prewett (often to her face) how very nosy she was, which she always thought a silly thing to express. Her nose was of a perfectly average size for her face, thank you very much. Was she inquisitive? Very much so. Did it get her into no small amount of trouble? Endlessly. Was she planning to stop? Oh, heavens no. Hogwarts awaited, after all.
