"Falcon and Raven, Primrose and Vine, Son in the moonlight, Waiting to die." Hermione Granger is thrilled to learn that she's a witch, and rather less thrilled about the world she finds herself in once she steps foot inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Great power seems to lurk at her fingertips and potential allies abound, but the walls of the castle have ears, and the whisperers are very interested in one Hermione Granger. Who were her parents, really? What does everyone want from her? And Morgana, can somebody please get the Snakes to stop giving her a hard time? Over seven years, she'll learn who she is and what she's capable of, all under the shadow of a war that's about to recommence. Year 1: Chapters 1-4 Year 2: Chapters 5-7. Year 3: Chapters 8 & 9.

The day was full of surprises, and wedges in his plans to completely wreck his shit.Because he was so close, his fingers were grazing the soft, tanned flesh above the boy’s heart. And the prophesized words. The boy’s own hand was pressed to his soul mark.While the other survives.It was warm and soothing, but cool and taking like he was slowly pulling Voldemort through a cold shaded area. It hadn’t been at all what the Dark Lord expected. “Come, Harry, don’t-”“Shut up!” His voice struck the air with a burst of magic. His feet left the ground, soon he was standing on top of the dining table and every window shattered. Shards of glass rained down on him from a domed skylight that provided the dining hall with natural light. The jagged shards cut his skin as they fell. Chairs, side tables, decorative vases, and paintings littered the air; breaking up the crowd of Death Eaters, barricading everyone out of the room. But nothing touched his soulmate. A fault of the bond between them. “I’ll help fix you, you’ll be okay.” He couldn’t really tell if he was reassuring the man before him, or himself. In which our favorite boys are soulmates and have to navigate around insanity and death.

Harry Potter is not a kind boy. Maybe he was once, when he was younger, but not anymore. He can't be kind, if he wants to survive the Dursleys. If he were kind, he'd still be locked in the cupboard under the stairs. Intelligence, cunning, and shrewdness; these are what give a boy power. Not such trivial things as kindness. * What if being a Parselmouth isn’t the only trait Harry inherited from Voldemort? How would things have been different, if Harry was just a little bit more like Voldemort? Let's see, shall we?

In Slytherin, Harry can become someone powerful and respected. It’s hard to make friends, especially friends in a rival house, but exchanging flying lessons for tutoring is a good excuse. No one needs to know the truth, that Harry’s interest in Gryffindor Hermione Granger starts because of an obsession with her hair and curiosity over her confidence with snakes. Harry makes some mistakes along the way, struggles with pride, and learns that whoever said friendship was easy was almost certainly lying. Once he figures out that easy is irrelevant, he starts taking steps to make sure everyone gets what they deserve.

At the end of his third year Harry Potter stops playing games and embraces his Slytherin side. He has his own dreams and will salt the earth and burn the sky to see them to fruition. Harry x Multi Also being posted on FFN!
