The First Wizarding War ended after news of Tom Riddle aka Voldemort had been defeated by an infant named Harry James Potter on October 31st, 1981, causing many witches and wizards to celebrate as peace had finally returned in the Wizarding world only for rumors to somehow emerge about a prophecy that talks about a child of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange. The prophecy stated that the dark lord's heir would one day rise to become the most powerful dark wizard in history and usher in a new age of darkness that would bring an end to the wizarding world and the muggle world. When this rumor came out, it caused many to panic, and others to try and hunt down the child, only to fail as no one not even the Ministry of Magic with all their power and resources could locate him or know what he looked like. The child whose name was Noctis Rigel Arcturus Black, lived in 12 Grimmauld Place with his great-aunt Walburga Black. He was taught every form of magic ranging from normal magic to the dark arts when he was 4 years old. He also had a high altitude for knowledge and spell-casting and was also born gifted with three abilities, two were considered very rare, one was Seer and the second Parseltongue, and the third was called Legilimency. When she learned about his abilities she was extremely happy and wasn't going to let the opportunity of having a member of the Black family who was born with three rare magical powers go to pass. She wrote in her will that she would leave everything to her great-nephew including 12 Grimmauld Place, the Black family vault, and the family elf Kreacher, before dying in 1985, leaving Noctis to reside in the house alone for his own safety for most of his life from the Ministry of Magic until he turns 11 when the headmaster of Hogwarts arrives changing his life forever.

Harry Potter was never meant to be in the Triwizard Tournament. But when his name is pulled from the Goblet of Fire, everything begins to unravel-not just the tournament, but the life he's been forced to live. Abandoned by friends, doubted by his mentors, and caged by hidden magical restrictions, Harry finally makes a decision: He's done pretending. No longer the obedient student, no longer the Boy Who Lived under everyone else's control, Harry begins to rewrite the rules. He studies in secret, masters forgotten magics, and allies with unexpected students-particularly from Slytherin. As he walks through fire, faces dragons, dives into freezing lakes, and navigates deadly mazes, Harry forges a new identity: one not defined by prophecy or fame, but by freedom. With Fleur Delacour at his side-not a fantasy, but a fierce, intelligent partner-and Gabrielle as his loyal shadow, Harry's world expands beyond house colors, school walls, and old legacies. This is not the Harry you remember. This is the one who chose to live Unbound. ✅ Powerful, independent Harry ✅ Slytherin friendships, slow-burn romance ✅ Magical theory, creature lore, political rebellion ✅ Found family, emotional growth, no clichés ✅ Canon divergence with meaning and bite

After the Chamber of Secrets, Harry realizes he's in love with Hermione-but he doesn't feel worthy of her. Determined to change, he begins a journey of growth, magic, and self-discovery. As he rises, so do unexpected connections-with Hermione, Fleur, Daphne, Susan, and Tonks. But as Harry reshapes himself, he may end up reshaping the future of the entire wizarding world.

What if Harry met Hermione before Ron? A quiet meeting, a growing bond, and a twist on the tale you thought you knew. As Hogwarts unfolds its secrets, Harry and Hermione grow closer - maybe a little too close. We wouldn't break up the Golden Trio... would we? Nah. Probably not. But this ride's going to be a little different - and pretty much interesting.

After a year of the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry had no will to live anymore. He had lost Hermione, his lover, his best friend and the one he had planned his future with. She had fallen to the curse of Bellatrix Lestrange and Harry had returned it to the insane woman tenfold in rage. That was also the day when Tom Riddle AKA Voldemort fell to the wand of the 'chosen one'. He had spent more than half of a year after the battle in Godric's Hollow, where he had buried Hermione, near his parents and the rest of the time, he spent taking care of his Godson. Being Intoxicated with Firewishky didn't help either. Finally, he figured out he wouldn't be able to live on happily anyway. So he wrote a will giving out a good amount of money to Weasleys and the Rest of Black and Potter's fortune to Teddy, his Godson. He had even made sure that his will wouldn't be 'sealed' like Dumbledore had done and the Ministry of Magic, wouldn't be able to scam Teddy off his inheritance for being the son of a werewolf. Of course, he had to make the big Guns of the ministry, including Kingsley- the minister of magic, sign the contract at his wand point and later obliviate them. After Hermione's death, he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. He then attacked a gathering of vampires, werewolves and dark wizards who were planning to take advantage of Magical Britain's current situation as they were severely weakened after the short but cruel reign of Dark Lord Voldemort, and single-handedly killed most of them, but not before he got hit with a killing curse. With a grin, he awaited his next great adventure to meet Hermione.
