Summary
Neglected, forgotten, and overshadowed by his famous twin, six-year-old Harry Potter is left behind when his family departs for a sabbatical abroad. Alone in the silence of a once-grand manor, Harry discovers a legacy far older than the Boy-Who-Lived myth—one guided by Merlin himself. With intelligence beyond his years and a quiet resolve, Harry enters the wizarding world on his own terms, forging alliances with goblins, claiming ancient magic, and founding a new house: Watson. But even as wealth, power, and prophecy swirl around him, Harry seeks something rarer still—belonging, freedom, and a life that is truly his own

Summary
It was rather a boring day. Spent between teaching classes, grading papers, and brewing his potions. So when Draco decided to go make himself a cup of tea as a reward - and owl his mother while it brewed - he did not expect whatever was going to happen next.
He didn't even spend *five minutes* away from the dungeon (where he was brewing a new potion for his next class) when he heard that striking sound of *glass shattering.*
His first thought was: *"Merlin, the draught!"* then his immediate second thought was _"Fuck, Harry!!"_ He ran back down to the dungeon, expecting to see his partner standing there with a sheepish, apologetic smile and surrounded by broken vials _(curse him, his ever so curious husband)_
But when he skidded inside, he didn't find any of that. The only thing he found was a one (1) broken vial, and beside it a... baby?

Summary
In a life where being smart means not being beaten or starved, Harry Potter turns out to be someone who should never be underestimated - someone who would go to the very edges of morality to preserve his life and to enact a vengeance on those who deserve it. Yet, this isn't his first rodeo - past lives haunt him, though he can not understand them. But one thing is for sure - something is wrong with the world. It is not what is ought to be. And only his past lives seem to realize this.

Summary
When Harry Potter learns he’s a wizard, he doesn’t find salvation—he finds questions, lies, and manipulations. Left to endure years of neglect and abuse under the Dursleys, Harry’s independent spirit and natural talent for magic flourish in secrecy, giving him the tools to survive—but at a cost.
An unexpected guide in Severus Snape sets Harry on a path unlike any other, one where Hogwarts is not simply a place of wonder, but a battlefield of alliances and hidden agendas. Sorted into Slytherin alongside Hermione Granger, the ambitious Muggle-born who refuses to be underestimated, and Draco Malfoy, whose loyalty is more complex than it seems, Harry discovers that morality isn’t as black and white as his professors would have him believe.
As Harry delves deeper into the magical world, he unravels the truth behind Dumbledore’s carefully constructed narratives, his own mysterious power, and the weight of a destiny he never agreed to bear. Guided by unlikely friends and driven by his own code, Harry must navigate a web of secrets where light and dark blur—and survival means walking the line between them.
Will Harry seize control of his fate?
