Summary
At sixteen, Gellert Grindelwald stands on the edge of expulsion ... and destiny. Sentenced to a brutal public punishment and stripped of his wand, he finds himself facing a world of trouble. But slowly, Gellert begins to see not failure, but opportunity. History, he vows, will remember him differently.
This is a Grindeldore fic. The only canon gay "love story" in the HP universe.

Summary
Elizabeth was living a peaceful life as a fifth year student of Hogwarts when she found herself caught up in Harry's rescue mission at the Ministry of Magic. When all hell broke loose, she woke up in the past, accompanied only by Hermione Granger.
NOTE: This fic is meant to be as close to the source material as possible, while expanding on some of the minor characters, plotlines (like the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle's search for his family, etc.) and Voldemort's school days. I tried to change as little as possible while adding an OC character as the main one, as none of the existing ones fitted my vision.

Summary
Harry Potter, torn from the battle of Hogwarts, wakes in the body of a child—smaller and more breakable than memory allows, as fragments of his past life return in splinters, sharp and out of order. The war is gone. The pain is not. In the shadowed halls of Wool’s Orphanage, he meets another boy with quiet anger behind his eyes, a mind too sharp for his age, and a silence that cuts deeper than cruelty. Tom Riddle is still a child—but already a storm in human shape, brilliant and dangerous in ways that feel far too familiar.
Harry should be afraid. But he isn’t. Not of Tom. Not even when the calm breaks, revealing the hurt, the hunger, the fury beneath. What he finds isn’t a monster—but a boy wrapped in blades to keep the world at bay. -

Summary
"You don't get it, do you? I spent my entire life waiting for you, for both of you, because then it'd all be worth it. So what if my parents didn't love me? So what if my brother abandoned me? So what if the entire world was against me? I didn't give a shit because I had you!" His voice cracks, "...I was supposed to have you."
The day Regulus turns sixteen the names 'James Potter' and 'Remus Lupin' appear on his skin. It's beautiful. It's exhilarating. It's life altering. Or it would've been, had they wanted anything to do with him.
6 years later, Fate works to fix their mistake.

Summary
Tom Riddle is hurled from the 1940s into the future, crossing paths with Harry Potter during the Chamber of Secrets ordeal. Harry mistakes this real Tom for the diary’s memory.
Harry uncovers Tom’s destiny as Voldemort but conceals it, hiding him from Dumbledore and smuggling him through the summer chaos at the Dursleys—where Tom witnesses abuse and unleashes his own violence—before an encounter with Sirius Black. Enrolled at Hogwarts under a false identity, Tom is sorted into Slytherin, sparking cultural revival. Dumbledore spots Tom’s budding care for Harry, forging tense vows that upend dark plans—echoing Albus’s own lost love with Grindelwald.
Snape, privy to their secret, lends some aid, sparing Harry from drama after arm-twisting Dumbledore. In Knockturn Alley’s underbelly, they talk to snakes, stumble into accidental death, blackmail Slughorn, and ignite concerns over their closeness. Tom vows to slay his future self and reclaim his name—still a sly dark prodigy—Harry’s dark magic flair alarms the Order, fearing corruption of the Boy Who Lived.

Summary
Harry Potter wasn't the only person who had always expected Professor McGonagall to be there. Irascible and inflexible, perhaps, but always dependably, solidly present. With her father's cast-iron moral sense and a heart of gold buried beneath a stern exterior. This story focuses on the inner workings of the woman who was never far from Dumbledore's right hand side.

Summary
Of course Muggles don't become adults at 17, so the police officer who was staring at him as if that was supposed to mean something it would mean nothing. Draco felt his nails curl into his palm. He was stuck in some random muggle town, in the middle of a time crisis because apparently that ritual he was forced into wasn't just a simple transmutation ritual, it was a time ritual, and he's gone back almost what...fifty years? Hopefully he won't be dragged to Hogwarts for school (than again if the way that man was staring at him was any indication, he would be dragged forcibly to a muggle school instead...perhaps Hogwarts is preferable?) it was bad enough that he had apparently been dropped by a dead corpse, and now these idiots thought that he was an untimely victim of some cult.

Summary
"I think if I would get on my knees in front of you, for you. I would put you on the spot." Edmund said with a weak teasing smile. "In my eyes, nobody deserves you." He whispered, "And I don't deserve you either." He admitted.
Edmund took a breath, "I might be a bit desperate to want you to love me. But I want to show you unconditional love, Hermione. I just wish you would let me."

Summary
Draco had read a muggle series once. His mother had taken them to the black ancestry home to handle the details of the heirship since he was old enough, and he had snuck through the place like a rat, and had found the books in the room of Regulus Black. He took them, hid them from his parents, and had read the whole series. He had fully enjoyed it, but had not realized it was a muggle series until his father had noticed him reading it one day and lost his temper.
This reminds him of that, a bit. It was supremely stupid for him to walk through a cabinet when he was fairly sure it was not properly fixed, but in a fit of suicidal ideation he did so (after all he had nothing to lose considering how his progress was going), and now he was stuck in some weird alternate reality, because there was no way he managed to travel in time this far back and was supposed to somehow explain his existence, and still be stuck going to school, surely not....Right?Series

Summary
Albus is pressured to face Gellert and put an end to his reign of terror, but there are so many things holding him back. That's where Bonnie Barr enters, a muggle scottish lass who fled her village because she became pregnant with an illigitimate child, and who wishes with all her heart that magic could be real; even if it is against her Christian upbringing.
In Mistress Hughes' Teahouse, a bar where muggle sailors and lowlives go to drink, their paths meet. But like the rest of the Wizarding World, Gellert refuses to leave Albus in peace.

It's a strange little story which doesn't follow a regular trope, so I fear it will fall down the rabbit hole of less-used or non-existing tags. Please give it a chance and see if it speaks to you! -
