While the world watched Harry Potter step into his destiny, another boy arrived at Hogwarts-quiet, distant, and carrying a name that once shook the wizarding world.
Alric Grindelwald was never meant to be a hero. He stayed in the background, unseen by most, a shadow trailing its own path through enchanted halls and whispered fears.
In the same year that legends began to awaken, so did a legacy long buried. And not all stories happen in the spotlight.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone - The Green-Eyed Menace
What if Harry Potter never lived in a cupboard under the stairs? What if, instead, he was raised at 12 Grimmauld Place-by Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, the last of the Marauders? In this AU retelling of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry steps into Hogwarts not wide-eyed and uncertain, but confident, clever, and already skilled in magic. Raised by the boldness of Sirius, the intellect of Remus, the bravery of James, and the compassion of Lily, this Harry doesn't fear Voldemort... he mocks him. Alongside Neville Longbottom, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger-the new generation of Marauders-Harry uncovers the secrets of the Stone, challenges the twisted idea of blood purity, and stands tall in the face of darkness. ✨ Canon-faithful, character-rich rewrite 🪄 Real hexes, real growth, real danger 🎨 Custom chapter artwork in every update 🔥 A Harry who stands up, speaks out, and never backs down The Wizarding World is still dangerous. But this time... so is Harry Potter. Creative liberties were taken with some canon elements. Please enjoy this as an alternate take and respect that this is a fan-driven AU.Complete
Confused About You | Hermione Granger x Reader (GXG)
Y/N landed from the private plane, met by the familiar face of the flight attendant who had been a constant presence since her childhood. The attendant had aged gracefully from her 20s to her early 30s, witnessing Y/N's growth over the years. For the Muggle world, Y/N's education was shrouded in secrecy. Amaryllis told her Muggle friends that Y/N attended a boarding school, conveniently hiding Hogwarts. The Four Founders of Hogwarts had devised a fictional boarding school in the Muggle realm, providing a cover for Muggle-born students like Hermione. The clock showed 9 am, marking the next day after their 8 pm leave yesterday. As they stepped onto Californian soil, the warm sun welcomed them. The temperature wasn't as scalding as Y/N remembered, but it was certainly much, much warmer than London. ✴✴✴✴✴ The crowd erupted in joy as the new year arrived, and fireworks burst into the sky, casting a brilliant, kaleidoscopic display. In that moment, amidst the sparkling lights, Y/N and Hermione sat next to each other - they always have. But one thought they shared indefinitely: "I'm confused about you." ✴✴✴✴✴ Disclaimer: This book follows the plot of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

The Serpent's Heir
Harry Potter, the supposed golden boy, was never meant to be the hero everyone expected. When Dumbledore's grand plan started to unravel, it was clear that the wizarding world would face a different kind of savior. Instead of a loyal Gryffindor, Harry walked into Hogwarts with the dark, calculating air of a pureblood heir and an ancient venomous magical snake by his side. His arrival shattered expectations-especially when he was sorted into Slytherin. No longer the carefree child of Lily and James, Harry embraced his true heritage, one entwined with power, cunning, and the legacy of his ancestors. With every step, he reveals just how far Dumbledore's manipulation went, and the unmasking of his true self puts him at odds with the very people who thought they knew him best. Hermione, Ron, and even his own family stand in his way, but Harry is no longer the naive boy they once knew. The wizarding world is about to witness the rise of a new force, one who will carve his own path, free from the shackles of old alliances and expectations.Complete

The Arcane Witch | Harry Potter
In "The Arcane Witch", venture into the captivating and mysterious world of Alice Silverscale, a young orphan with untamed magic. Unexpectedly thrust into the wizarding world against her will, she embarks on a thrilling journey of discovery at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Along the way, she unravels hidden mysteries, forges unique bonds, and grapples with her own powerful abilities. - - - "Open," she commanded in Parseltongue. - - - "...the more power you hold, the more difficult it becomes to control it..." - - - - Like a blade, swift and cold, slicing straight down her spine. Her breath caught. Her body locked and heartbeat stopped. Her fingers dug into the fabric of pants as a black void swelled in her vision-and then, clear as crystal, it appeared: a hooded skull, looming above her like a specter torn from the darkest pages of a horror tale. Its dark hollow eyes pierced straight into her viridescent, paralyzed gaze. Blood pooled beneath its feet, and though it didn't move, Alice could feel its presence-massive, ancient, aware. Its gaze was fixed solely on her. She couldn't look away. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't move. - - - - "Easy now, Potter. I come in peace," she teased, her voice light. - - - "You're the only thing... That makes sense to me in this world." - - - Disclaimer: This work of fanfiction is based on the world and characters created by J.K. Rowling in her Harry Potter series.

"Nothing can change the way I feel about you, do you not get this?" I raised my voice and the tears were starting to flow. Harry closed his eyes in frustration and turned towards the window. "My life is not simple, it never has been and never will be, Lucy. All I do is put the ones I love in danger." He turned to me with his beautiful ocean eyes, sadness spread on his face. I ran towards him and engulfed his face into my hands staring deeply into his eyes. "I know what I've gotten myself into, and I accept everything that is to come full-heartedly. Wherever you go, I go, whatever you need I'll help you, whatever is to happen then it happens. I can do this, we can do this, because I love you, Harry, I do." I cried harder and he wrapped his arms around me, brushing his fingers through my hair. "I love you more, you have no idea." ~ MOST OF THESE CHARACTERS BELONG TO J. K. ROWLING ~Complete
