Summary
Somehow, I find myself reborn in the world of Harry Potter as a no-name orphan. You know what that means: pursuing magic's secrets and uncovering the most tantalizing of mysteries this world has to offer! Oh, Voldemort? Why should I care? SI OC. A slow-boil, realistic journey of a man rediscovering his path in a world of great magic— whether for good, or for evil.

Summary
The only way Harry can get free of those who wish to use him is to agree to an already made betrothal contract created by Dorea Black-Potter. Will this simple thing change the course of Harry's predestined - at least by Dumbledore - future? Will he remain neutral or will he turn dark after he learns everything Dumbledore's done? Will there be a wedding in future for Rabastan and Harry? Can they have a chance of happiness or will the two Slytherins by nature at least, only presume to use one another? NO UNDERAGE BETWEEN THE MAIN PAIRING!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary
Oxford Languages defines briar as “any of a number of prickly scrambling shrubs, especially the sweetbrier and other wild roses.”
***
Briar Theodore Evans was born the 30th of January, 1960 at 8:32 pm. A whole 6 minutes before Lily Jane Evans, who followed at precisely 8:38 pm. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. At least, it’s not how Briar remembered it happening when he read the books. Not that there was much he could remember about Harry Potter’s parents anymore. It had been years and they were such a small part. . .
Or
Briar may’ve come preloaded with the memories of a 23 year old—who once held a close to encyclopedic knowledge of the Harry Potter Series—but that does little to actually help him become powerful enough to fight Voldemort. He’s only capable of so much while stuck with a child’s brain and forced to grow up in 1960s & 70s Cokeworth England. Not to mention his less than ideal socio-political positions in, not just one, but two new worlds.
Struggling to gain enough power and knowledge to save Lily, Briar fights to reach his only life goal.
If only other people would stop distracting him. . .

Summary
The whole Umbridge thing makes her want to scream, just a wee bit. It’s seventh year, NEWTs are fast approaching, and she’s not kept a low profile for her entire Hogwarts tenure just to fail her exams horrifically.
A semi/si-oc who wants nothing to do with the plot, like, ever.

Summary
Harry has accepted that he will never have a good relationship with his stepfather, Severus Snape, or his workaholic Unspeakable mother. But he still wants to have a relationship with his half-siblings. For that, he’s willing to put up with his stepfather’s ridiculous demand that he become good enough at Potions to take the NEWT as an adult. For that, he’s willing to deal with the tutor Snape’s arranged for him, the mysterious Tom Gaunt.

Summary
(I'm pretty sure the title means "Travel Through Time" in Middle Egyptian but I know nothing about the language nor the grammar...)

Summary
As long as she could remember, Hermione has been given labels- unfit, unstable, ungrateful (lots of words beginning with "un" really.)
But Hermione Granger is not odd or unstable. She is magic.
And this world, too, has a name for her.
In this world, they call her the Girl Who Lived.
(GWL, Chosen one!Hermione Granger)
