10k+Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin » by
The Sinister Man
Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Four starts on 9/1/20. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

TheTrueSpartan
When Ron discovers that he can see the future, his entire fate is thrown off of its course. A story about adventure, friendship, growing up, and pushing forward through hardships.

1k+That Glorious Strength » by
Lomonaaeren

847Malicious, Magical, Malfoy » by
bor902
People often complained about a lack of birthright. Being reborn as Draco Malfoy meant I had the opposite issue. So many new things to take into account. Politics, magic, family traditions, the wizarding world and this odd new power that insisted my new reality was a game. What's a Gamer SI to do. Semi-inspired by "Magical Player", "In Bad Faith" and "Puppet of time"

Sometimes your life doesn't go the way you want it too. This very much reflected the way Harry's life had gone up until this point. Honestly, he had thought himself destined for greatness.

Overlord » by
otblock57
All Harry wanted to do was retire to some island somewhere to get as far away from from all the attention of magical Britain as he possibly could... he just wasn't sure why everyone insisted on calling it his 'dark lair'...
