Dark Lord Voldemort had won the first war in a merciless and undeniable victory; the Light side and it's families all becoming nothing more than second-class citizens, even if they were of pureblood ancestry and needing to prove themselves to earn their status back. The Ministry of Magic caving in under the weight of his onslaught; only to collapse and allow the Dark Lord to reign as their new Emperor. All while Hogwarts became the school of Magic for the purebloods or those who were the most gifted; hand chosen by the right and left hands of the Dark Lord.

Hadrian James Potter; he was the sole heir of the Lord James Potter and his wife Lady Lily Potter, and set to inherit the massive fortune of the Potter family upon his coming of age. He was born unnaturally beautiful; only to grow more so as he aged, and was born with powerful magic. Which had drawn the attention of the other powerful, wealthy, and most notably; pureblood families to him from all sides.

His whole life had been surrounded in training to be the perfect bargaining chip to marry off.  Etiquette, Dancing, How to Dress, How to Act, How to not Act...the list never ended, and Hadrian resented his parents for it; though he never spoke a word about it. Now, as his 17th birthday closed in; Hadrian feared who would be handed his hand for marriage, and sets his plans for his survival and his happiness into motion...

Even if later on; He was traitor to everyone else he knew.

His attention moved to the politicians' pavilion after passing the students. His gaze was locked with crimson. He almost faltered under the pressure of the hunger in those eyes. He was unnerved by how fixated the man was on his dirty figure. But what troubled him more was the slight smirk he could make out on the man's lips. It was almost pleasing. Despite her husband's death, Lily managed to escape with her child the night of the attack. Distraught and distrusting of her friends, she fled to France with Harry, to raise him away from the corruption in Britain and the rising influence of the Dark Lord. She trains him to the best of her abilities, shaping him into a dangerous, intelligent, and powerful wizard. After Britain reestablishes the Triwizard Tournament, Harry, now known as Hadrian, finds himself forced to return to his former home and starts to question whether killing the Dark Lord is what he really wants. With his intrigue and amusement growing, Voldemort grows more and more determined to possess the spark in those defiant green eyes. DISCLAIMER: THIS STORY DOES NOT BELONG TO ME.

The Heirs of The Noble House of Black by PinkLemonade28x
5 parts Ongoing
Tom Riddle love story set in the Marauders Era. The era of the marauders is a time of drastic societal change within the wizarding world. The 60's and 70's are a time of strife as squib protests commence and pure blood riots fight back in an attempt to maintain the social hierarchy which has always kept them on top. However, the difficult times are not only laced into the fabric of British wizarding society, as unrest is beginning to take place from within the castle walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Many of the pureblood students echo the traditional sentiments of their parents, so what will happen when a talented young first year by the name of Tom Riddle joins the school? Will he travel down the path that we know of him and become the feared Lord Voldemort, or will the offer of friendship and love from the students of the marauders era be enough to sway him from his destiny? Follow Lyra Black (original character) and the rest of the next generation of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black (Bellatrix, Sirius, Andromeda, Narcissa and Regulus) as they attend Hogwarts. As they struggle through familial control and expectations, changes within their society, love, friendship, house rivalries and their own inner demons, will the heirs of the Black line be able to maintain their once strong familial bonds as they get pulled in different directions? This story deviates from the original timelines of the Harry Potter series in order to accommodate many of the characters that we know and love (or love to hate)! Lots of characters are brought together within the space of a few years, so their birth years will not be accurate. Also there are some other changes, such as age of attendance to Hogwarts beginning at 15 (and ending at 22) because I didn't want to write about 11 year olds! ;) This story is based off the Harry Potter series and all rights belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own Lyra Black, other original characters and original plot lines.
Two Sides of the Serpent // Draco Malfoy by athenaknightly13
40 parts Complete Mature
My personal take on the second wizarding war, starting with the Half Blood Prince and ending of the Deathly Hallows. I own none of the characters or the original story, it all belongs to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. (The only character that belongs to me is Evelyn Ashthorn and her family.) The Ashthorns were always very dark in their ways. Evelyn's father was a death eater and supporter of the Dark Lord. She grew up and was close friends with Draco Malfoy in their youth but had parted ways in their early years at Hogwarts. As Voldemort was growing stronger during their fifth year, Draco and Evelyn were now involved in something much darker. Forced into a betrothal with each other unwillingly to strengthen Voldemorts future cause and supports. In an effort to break away from the horrors, they reach out to the Order of the Phoenix, determined to pivot the fate of their world. TRIGGER WARNING: This fan-fiction contains alcohol, blood, trauma, r@pe, profanity, death.

Hold On - Dramione by ACourtOfStories
38 parts Complete Mature
When everything seems to be falling apart, sometimes all you can do is hold on. Hold onto what, is the question though. What do you hold onto when the darkness that is the Dark Lord is snuffing out the light and any hope of the Wizarding World being free? For Draco Malfoy, who is seemingly surrounded by darkness, he's holding onto the one person who might just be smart enough to help him kill Lord Voldemort and finally end this war...Hermione Granger. It's an absolute long shot, a total Hail Mary, and as much as they both hate each other, they can't deny that they need each other's help. It should be simple, right? He feeds her information to help gather and destroy Horcruxes, no one finds out about them, Voldemort dies and the war is won. But nothing is ever that simple, especially in the midst of the darkest and deadliest war in history. A war where they are both on different sides. A war where they can do nothing but hold on. You might want to hold on for this one. (Deathly Hallows 1 & 2) (A/N: Description is definitely a work in progress, I promise the story is better than I make it sound. Please don't plagiarise. I hope you enjoy it.) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. I only own any original scenes and dialogue I have written. I also don't own the cover picture. It's just one I found on google images).
