Newstart or Repeat?

What will happen when he's confronted with stuff he swore to leave behind? This was my first fan fiction ever looking back I started without the knowledge of how hard it can get so the quality and so on of this story gets lost more and more in every chapter I am currently overworking some parts of it when I get the energy to do so oh and pls check the tags before you start readingComplete

THE QUIET BEFORE: Part I - FOUNDATION
THE QUIET BEFORE: Part I of II - FOUNDATION Harry Potter died a hero. He greeted Death not as an enemy, but as an old companion-and in return, Fate gave him something far more dangerous than peace. A second chance. Reborn into a life that was never kind to him, Harry grows up carrying echoes of a future he has not yet lived and scars no one else can see. Hogwarts is still waiting. Voldemort still looms. But this time, the battle is not only about survival-it is about understanding, healing, and choice. This is the story of the years before the war. Of friendships forged slowly and painfully. Of trust rebuilt, truths uncovered, and power learned through restraint rather than violence. Before the world burns, Harry must learn how to live. Foundation is not a story about the war itself - it is about the years that quietly shape it. About friendships formed in kitchens instead of common rooms. About trials that happen in courtrooms instead of battlefields. About choices that look small at the time... and change everything later. Foundation is a character-driven reimagining of the Harry Potter story-focused on growth, relationships, political undercurrents, and the quiet moments that shape who stands when the war finally comes. This is a slow-burn, character-driven retelling where no one exists only to support the plot - and no one walks away unchanged. The war is coming. But first, the world has to be built. THIS IS KIND OF A SLOW BURN AND NOT FULLY ABOUT ROMANCE THO YOU WILL HAVE LOVELY RELATIONSHIPS FORMING AND ROMANCE APPEARING BECAUSE LIKE YOU, IM A SUCKER FOR HARRY POTTER ROMANCES remember as this is fanfiction, many things like birthdays, age and character personalities are altered to fit my imagination, so keep an open mind when reading, thank you! the story is very different from Cannon. HAVE A NICE READ!

*Discontinued* No Longer
DISCONTINUED Harry wasn't what anybody expected. Well, that's not exactly true, in fact he acted exactly as expected in front of them. He'd been left with the Dursleys, and had spent nine long years basically as their slave, not even knowing his name. See, Evan had been the Boy Who Lived, supposedly having defeated Voldemort as a baby, and it would have been wrong to send the Potter's other son into an environment where jealousy would foster, after all, he was just so ordinary. . . So ordinary that no one knew he owned the club Nighthowlers and Orchids or that he had enough power to single-handedly bring about the end of the world as they knew it. No one even knew what he looked like, not truly. Many characters are property of J K Rowling, some story elements are kinda based off of some trends, but it was written by me. There will be some very triggering content, please do not report. Also, I know I suck at writing descriptions, so please don't kill me. This moves at kind of a slow pace and has a lot of details, the sexual interactions, will not happen for quite a while and are not the main point of the story. (ships, however, will come into play at chapter thirty)(sexual interactions only after Harry is 15 or 16) Word count 1-90 is over 190,000, roughly 2,000 words per chapter DISCONTINUEDComplete
