Looking back on it, Harry should have known this would happen. But he just didn't think it was possible at all this time around - he'd just saved their lives, hadn't he?

He supposed it was a good thing he was orphaned in the war. Draco shuddered to imagine what his father thought of the situation.

The ban Gran placed on Neville was pushing it. It wasn't just a ban - it was fortified with magic.

It was such a shame, really, that things worked out the way it did. Luna, of course, knew all of it would happen.
*
After the final battle, things go back to normal. Harry, Ron and Hermione all go to school for one last year and one last adventure, one without Voldemort. Harry and Ginny are living their lives happily and have great plans for a great future.

At least, that's how it was supposed to happen. 

Instead, everyone begins to fear Harry. If he could defeat Him, then who's to say he won't follow the same path? Who's to say he won't go dark?

Harry is falling into a depression that he can't seem to escape. The ones he depends on most have abandoned him and the one who hasn't can't speak to him. He feels like he's drowning and there are leads attached to him, helping him along. 
Neville does his best, honest, but there isn't much he can do, thanks to Gran. He wants to help, but he physically can't, and it's slowly killing him. Maybe... no, that wouldn't work.
Luna does her best as well. The creatures she sees are messing with his head, and no matter hard she tries, she can't help him get rid of them. Maybe someday, somehow.
Draco doesn't do much - it's not his place. He's been nothing but hurtful to Harry, but he regrets that, really. It will take time to get Harry to trust him. He wants to help but he knows it'll be rebuffed. Right?

A meeting where they all get to know each other gets interrupted. The ball of light shouldn't be trusted, but Luna say's it's safe. So when Luna wakes up ten years old again, she has four months to prepare for her friends' arrivals.

The Riddle Siblings- A Slytherin Story by chxrry_her
18 parts Ongoing
"Help me my daughter. Help your father survive." My father's distorted form in the air spoke to me. "NO!" Thirteen year old me shrieked at the cloud shaped form of my biological father. "Tom and Matt will be here soon." I threatened him. My voice was firm but I was so scared inside and it felt like he could see the war raging inside me. Do I give in to him? He is my father after all. It isn't his fault he lost to a baby and left us with Rodolphus. My blood boiled at the thought of him. His face twisted into a cruel smirk which confirmed my decision. I will not help him come back to life. Panic planted a seed in my chest. "Your dear older brothers are in a deep slumber my precious daughter. I could have asked them for this task but you have always been my favourite, even as a baby." My stomach curled at listening his voice. Even though I knew he couldn't hurt me right now it still didn't calm the storms of fear brewing in my chest. "Never." My voice was low but firm. I was proud of myself for controlling the tremble in my voice. "Eh? Never you say? You will regret that little Alexia. I hear you made friends with a girl. I shall see if her will power is as strong as yours." With that his figure whooshed away and I was left alone with my thoughts. The seed blossomed into a full blown tree and squeezed my lungs until there was no air left to breathe. They thought they could have a normal life. The past belongs in the past. Right? If not a normal childhood there's still a chance for a normal youth. But they have demons in their past and their future. No matter how much they repress their demons, they would always haunt them. After all the heirs to The Dark Lord don't get to have a normal life. No rest for the wicked. ********************** I promise you this story is better than how it seems. Its filled with humor and heartbreak and you will have a grand time reading it.

After sacrificing himself to Voldemort for all the people fighting in the war. Harry potter, the master of the deathly hallows, greets death as an old friend. But what happens when fate realises how cruel life had been to him? And decides to give him another chance. A second chance. This is a fanfiction! The major shipping are Harry x Hermione, Draco x Ginny, and Neville x Luna. IF YOU CAN RESPECT THE SHIPS, THEN PLEASE PROCEED, BUT I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY HATE COMMENTS LATER ON. THE STORY MIGHT FOLLOW CANNON A LITTLE BUT WILL BE PACED AND WRITTEN QUITE DIFFERENTLY. ************************************** Harry Potter was left at the doorstep of his aunt and uncle by Dumbledore after a tragic incident. But how is his life going to proceed from there? With a sweet and caring aunt, an uncle who is just cruel and a bully, and an ignorant cousin, how would he react to the revelation about the magical world? How will he find his way, with dangers lurking around, and people with their own selfish motives around him, how will he find true friends and safely navigate his life at Hogwarts? What if we add an aspect of romance into the mix? With dangers, love, drama, hidden truths, jealousy, and a psychotic nutter who is after the boy to kill him, how will harry potter survive? (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 while following the same events/ storyline. HAVE A NICE READ!
All Mine  by opheliaetta
30 parts Complete Mature
We are students at Hogwarts 3 years post war. The students who were in their last 2 years of school when the battle began were invited back 3 years later to finish their studies (think of it as straight away if you don't want to think of it as 3 years later, the whole school kid thing makes me cringe so I'm going for a bit more of a uni thing). Obviously there's no kids yet, no one has gotten married yet but Harry and Ginny, and Ron and Hermione are together. Astoria and Draco never got together so this is a y/n and Draco story. Draco and y/n are not related, Voldemort was never his uncle and besides y/n is adopted from a muggle birth mother and magical birth father (I thought I'd add that because I know what people can be like with the whole Malfoy and Riddle 'family connection', absolutely none of that in this story thanks x) The main character is Y/n Riddle. Y/n Riddle was adopted by Voldemort years prior to be brought up and used as a weapon to get close to Harry while they were at school together. Harry and y/n ended up falling for each other, y/n went behind her fathers back to help the Order but Harry found out who her father is and swore he'd never have anything to do with y/n ever again. Y/n went back to the dark side and ultimately played a part in the dark sides down fall. The students who were recruited as death eaters while at Hogwarts weren't sent to Askaban Prison as they were children and the ministry believed that they should have a second chance. However, attending Hogwarts 3 years later was made compulsory for those students- if they refused then Askaban was their only other option. A few never renounced their ways due to their families but y/n, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Ginny Weasley all went back including a few other students that we'll meet through out. I'm so excited, enjoy!
