Could Harry have enjoyed a normal childhood, free from the spotlight even when in plain sight? But at what price? Fun-loving Susan. Evil Dumbledore & Snape. Grey, vengeful Hermione. Practically perfect Mercy Fuller. Back in time fix it fic. Best Hogwarts House revealed. Sacrifice. Slaughter. Mystery figure. Clocks and talking socks. And, of course, love. Aaah!

While still young, Harry's heart is set on a Muggle career: video game development!

The continuous barrage of criticism and cruelty by the Dursleys utterly destroys baby Harry's will, initiative, and self-belief, turning him into a mental slave and completely suppressing his magic. Only Dumbledore's wise counsel and loving care can save him. So no chance then. Unless a smart friend can find a way into his heart and broken mind...

No need to physically walk away to stop playing the game. Harry Potter learns to never stop asking for help even before he goes to Hogwarts so he's certainly not going to sit back and take all that injustice when he does! Take it to them, Harry!

Might their love be just as true? And if so, what could bring them together? The story is fluffy, sometimes sensual, but never smutty or crude, and, of course, has the touch of magic.

Friendless, bullied, seen as worthless by the Dursleys, Harry's natural rebellious and adventurous nature was repressed. Life was only bearable if he kept out of the way so he grew up unwilling to step out of line. He lives by his wits but has high ideals and courage below the surface. Harry is simply reluctant to draw attention to himself — it's less painful that way! H/G. Ron/Hm.

At their lowest ebb, would Harry and Hermione continue their Horcrux quest alone if they had another choice: the use of a Time-turner? When the magical kingdom becomes more unbearable than Privet Drive ever was, might Harry find release between worlds? Begins in Deathly Hallows after Ron has abandoned Harry and Hermione.

Absurd parody completing everything in one act. Brief one-shot starring Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hermione, Matron. No pairings.

Voldemort is dead but Harry missed his last year at Hogwarts so has no magical qualifications. No NEWTS is bad news. He needs a respectable job if he is to court Miss Weasley. Perhaps he might do better back in the muggles' world.
