    These are assignments I did for Writers Workshop. I will be posting them, even if I do not prefer the story written:) These will all be one-shots unless stated differently. Also, I usually change the name from an original name to an official name so my apologies if there are some original names left!

    Summary

    Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, but his parents still died, and Albus Dumbledore, concerned that Death Eaters might seek the boy’s death, cast a powerful charm on him to make wizards ignore him before Harry was left with the Dursleys. Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was far too powerful, and made others essentially forget Harry existed when not directly interacting with him. Sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, Harry lives a contented life with no one either loving or hating him…until the charm breaks on his seventeenth birthday, and he’s suddenly plunged directly into the middle of a living world at war.

    Summary

    In a world where Neville is the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry still grows up with the Dursleys, but he learns to be more private about what matters to him. When McGonagall comes to give him his letter, she also unwittingly gives Harry both a new quest and a new passion: Transfiguration. But while Harry deliberately hides his growing skills, Minerva worries more and more about the mysterious, brilliant student writing to her who may be venturing into dangerous magical territory.

    an absolutely gorgeous piece showing the intersection of humanity and the animal nature. what happens when all harry can rely on is himself? the things or creatures he creates?

    a magnificently gorgeous work, so splendidly pieced together<3

    Summary

    When Harry fails to keep his anger at bay and Voldemort possesses his mind, the events that follow lead him down a long road to realizing the world isn't as black and white as it seems.

    Chaos, hilarity, and tragedy ensue with a Dark Lord being honest all the time, a rival becoming something else, and a world demanding to be saved. Featuring frightened Death Eaters, deep conversations with a monster, Pureblood traditions being ridiculous, and the fight to do the right thing with no true options.

    Harry's life just gets more and more bizarre with each passing moment.

    ~~~

    Or, the one where Harry's life gets split in half, and he has to figure out how to bring it back together.

    Summary

    Wirt and Greg have returned from the Unknown (in a sense). They're the talk of the town- the boys who came back from the dead. Until, one day, they are fished out of the very lake they seemed to have escaped from. How did it happen? Why did it happen? The townspeople will never know, but we will.

    A story about escaping, in every sense of the word.
