After the war, Harry distances himself from everyone, feeling empty. He spends a year having locked himself up in Grimmuald Place, consumed with guilt. When he's finally drawn from his Godfather's, now his, home by the Weasleys, Hermione appears at his front door with urgent and unsettling news. Harry realizes the hidden horrors of his years at Hogwarts and, together, Harry and his friends formulate a plan to level the playing field. Though, when it inevitably all goes sideways, Death reveals himself to Harry and offers him a once in a lifetime opportunity. Will he take it? -- WARNINGS: 1. This is a slow burn (trust, it'll be worth it) 2. Tom is a manipulative little shit 🥰 3. Chapters are not at all consistent, I'm a double major in college guys, I only have so much extra time T^T - I try to upload at least one chapter a month

Harry Potter returns from the graveyard carrying Cedric Diggory's lifeless body - traumatized, shaking, desperate to speak the truth. He never gets the chance. Within minutes the Ministry turns on him. Evidence is silenced. Witnesses are dismissed. Harry is sentenced to Azkaban for life at fourteen years old. Days pass. Weeks. No visitors. No explanations. No rescue. The wizarding world divides. Dumbledore is stripped of power. The Diggorys demand answers. Voldemort rises in the shadows. And Harry waits in silence, losing pieces of himself to the cold and the dark. Until Sirius and Remus realize the truth too late - they were the ones who left him alone. Now the world must face what it allowed to happen. A boy forgotten. A truth buried. A war beginning to burn. This is the story of the boy they left to rot... and what happens when he finally stands again. A dark, emotional AU exploring trauma, corruption, political collapse, and Harry's slow journey from Azkaban victim to the one person who can expose the truth of Voldemort's return. --- Trigger Warnings * Wrongful imprisonment (Azkaban) * Dementor exposure * Trauma & PTSD * Panic attacks * Emotional breakdowns * Government corruption * Violence * Torture implied (Dementors) * Child endangerment * Gaslighting / political manipulation * Mentions of death * Dark themes surrounding mental deterioration

It has been one year after the war. Harry hasn't felt whole from the moment Sirius died. He felt it would be poetic if he died in the same place as Sirius on his birthday. But things never went the way Harry wanted them to. They never did. He received a letter from Gringotts on his 19th birthday. He discovered quite a lot that morning. He planned to quietly end his life, but this visit to Gringotts changed his mind. He was going to go back, take Death's offer that he was offered when he was hit with the killing curse, and wreck havoc on people who made his life a misery.

After an unjust trial at the start of his fifth year, Harry Potter is sentenced to the mysterious Dimension Gap. But instead of being imprisoned, he is cast adrift across thousands of worlds-never aging, always learning. Spells long forgotten, magics no one believed possible, wisdom beyond his years... Harry records it all in his endless book When he finally returns, only a week has passed in his own world. To the Order of the Phoenix, he is still the same boy. But Harry has changed-he is calmer, wiser, and carries secrets that could reshape the wizarding world. Disguised as the mysterious Professor Elias Knight, Harry takes up the mantle of teaching at Hogwarts. While the Ministry pushes incompetence, he inspires. While Voldemort plots in arrogance, Harry prepares his master plan. And while the wizarding world forgets the wonder of magic, Harry reminds them of its beauty. A story of growth, wisdom, unity, and the legend of the teacher who came from a thousand worlds ⚠️ Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any related characters, settings, or magical concepts.

Harry Potter disappears shortly before his final year of Hogwarts; before he was supposed to go and hunt down the remaining fragments of the soul to the Dark Lord. No one knew why he disappeared, how, or if Potter was even dead or alive now. Albus Dumbledore was dead; the Order divided and crumbling as the Wizard world began to fall to pieces. Only to have Harry reappear in the most unlikely of places and willingly; changed from before and different to all the wizard world.

When Harry is called to the Headmasters office at the beginning of his sixth year he isn't sure what to expect. He at least really didn't see it coming that he would become Master of Death, travel back in time to become someone else, and more importantly to stop Voldemort before he would be lost to the monster. **** ''You must understand, Harry, that it's very dark magic. I don't want to taint your soul.'' Harry hisses, feeling his rage rear its ugly head again. You could taste his magic in the air, and Harry almost imagined the tendrils swirling around him wildly. Dumbledore's eyes widened. ''I call bullshit! The darkest curse was thrown at me when I was a baby, I'm almost of age, and you should just fucking tell me what I need to know. And I mean really what I need to know, and not what you want me to know. I think it's time to trust me, to trust your weapon, because that all I am, right? A soldier in this war, a weapon to end the Dark Lord, just a means to an end. The savior of the wizarding world, the boy who lived, the chosen one, and all that other rubbish!'' **** There will be smut in later chapters. **** Update 13 Oct; Someone actually went and started translating my story!!

An aged Dark Lord Harry Potter sends his soul and that of his most loyal friend back in time to prevent multiple tragedies. He won't be making the same mistakes this time around, and he definitely won't be forgiving those who wronged him. °Note story, not my own all rights go's to Fanfiction.net, and it's Author (Zaterra02). https://m.fanfiction.net/s/14092855/1/Paid-In-Blood-REVISED-Originally-by-Zaterra02

From archive our own https://archiveofourown.org/works/30124308 Description: Dimitriv had been the Innkeeper for a number of years, never finding an heir to take over, leaving him - with his immortal life - to watch over the Inn and the creatures that came by for sanctuary, food or just a talk. But that all changes when he finds a baby on a doorstep in a subburb, on a cold winter night, taking the child with him and quickly realising he has found his heir. Disrupting quite a few plans in the process, while endearing him with Death for taking his Chosen to grow up where he could make a difference. Join Harry's journey as he becomes the next Innkeeper, part of a secret society, that still follow the Olde Ways of Magic, and don't let anything as a non-human appearance fool him into thinking the person sitting in front of him was some kind of monster.
