Summary
“Stop it,” he hissed. “You’re not Remus, or Sirius, and we all bloody well know you aren’t James Potter.”
James glanced down at his hands, as if to check. “Er, no, I think I am, actually.” He ran a hand through his messy hair absently, causing dust to rain down. Sirius coughed.
“That’s impossible.”
“Why?”
“Because he’s dead.”
Prompt: After his name is called at the Goblet, Harry seeks out safety in the Room of Requirement. Suddenly, a cabinet rattles and spits three figures out— James Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin.
And, for some reason, they look his age.

Summary
There's a kid roaming around Gotham who looks eerily similar to one of their own. He has his nose, his smile, and his annoying ability of acrobatically removing himself from awkward situations.
So if the kid really is Dick's son, it only makes sense to bring him in, right? Peter's probably homeless, weirdly dusty, and yet strangely steadfast in his lie that his "guardian" is at home just asleep.
"He's just super tired from the trip. Passed out as soon as we got here actually. But he's at home waiting for me."
That has to be a lie. Right?

Summary
Just like the many amazing Slytherin Harry Potter fics, this is my take on what would happen if Harry Potter was just a little bit smarter, a little bit crueler, and acted a little bit more like the Slytherin we knew he could be.
Takes inspiration from too many stories to count, but includes tropes like Slytherin Harry, awesome goblins, Dumbledore bashing, and Harry destroying any machinations laid out for him simply by existing and giving things a second thought. He refuses to be anybody's puppet.
After Harry was introduced to the wizarding world, some red flags were raised and questions left unanswered, so he decided to ditch his babysitter and return to Diagon Alley unsupervised. Harry returned to the bank and found that Dumbledore had been manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Eager to leave the Dursleys behind, Hadrian - he learned his name was - will do whatever it takes to get out from under Dumbledore's thumb, even if it means walking a darker path than expected of the Wizarding world's Savior.

Summary
Hadrian Potter rarely went looking for trouble, but it always seemed to find him.
After discovering the world of magic, facing down a mountain troll, and surviving an encounter with the Dark Lord – resulting in the death of his defense professor at Hadrian’s own hands – Hadrian Potter faces the seemingly insurmountable task of returning to normal life. He must keep living as if all were well, even after Voldemort sends him a letter offering a chance to learn Voldemort's true goals and why the Dark Lord waged war on magical Britain decades ago.
Can Hadrian put aside his resentment for the man who killed his parents long enough to learn the truth? What should he do when his friends start to notice that he starts acting strangely, asking questions that no one has the answers to? He's the heir to three Ancient and Noble Houses; he has more to do than just play games. Hadrian has an opportunity to find out why Voldemort targeted him and his family, but is he brave enough, clever enough, to find out without changing the fate of the world as he knows it?
What would change if Harry Potter were a Slytherin and hated Dumbledore more than he hated the Dark Lord?
