The Thrown Pebble is Book One of a whole-canon reimagining wherein Neville Longbottom, not Harry Potter, was the one targeted by Voldemort. This changes many things, and other things not at all."

Gen. "Harry’s third year in Slytherin starts off with a bang, but an escaped convict may put an end to his dreams of a quiet term before they begin. Can even his friendship with the Malfoys save Harry from the over-protective concern of every adult at Hogwarts? And why does it seem like Draco knows more than he's saying?"

Gen. "It’s his second year at Hogwarts and Harry Potter wants to try out for the Slytherin team, but when a House Elf shows up in his bedroom and strange voices start whispering to him from the walls, Quidditch may become the least of his concerns…"

Gen. "What happens when Harry runs into the Malfoys at King's Cross Station rather than the Weasleys? How will this tiny alteration of fate change the entire wizarding world as we know it? And what will the Sorting Hat have to say...?"

Gen. "AU: Halloween, 1981. Marked for death, Lily and Harry escape with the aid of Dark magic. Sirius vows to find Harry and track down Severus Snape, his mother's alleged murderer. The prophecy has divided; destiny writes on a blank page."

The time has come to face his past, go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and find out who Harry Potter really is."

Gen. "The one where Draco isn't the biggest prat in the world and Harry doesn't hate Slytherins.

Slytherin AU ft. Anxious!Harry and Mentor!Snape"

Gen. "Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts brings with it three friends who might just help him honour his biggest role models, a Slytherin rival in the form of one Evan Snape, a bossy girl who refuses to choose between them, and a mystery to be solved involving a small package hidden on the third floor. A retelling set in the world where Lily Evans made different choices as a young girl - a world in which she did not give birth to Harry Potter, and James Potter died for a different son, but their children, raised in the shadows of their parents’ choices, must nonetheless find the path that would one day lead them to protect everything they hold dear from the greatest menace Wizarding Britain had ever seen"

Gen. "It's just before Christmas in Harry's first year. Giving presents does not come naturally to a boy who has never received any. But sometimes, it only takes voicing a random thought to bring changes to one's life."

Gen, with background femslash. "Harry Potter begins his first year at Hogwarts, and with it, experiences some new things."

Gen. "Chessmaster Volume I. AU. Harry discovers that cleverness is the best way to outwit Dudley and his gang, which leads to a very different Sorting. While Harry and his friends try to unravel Hogwarts' various mysteries, the political tension in the Wizengamot reaches new heights as each faction conspires to control the fate of Wizarding Britain."

Gen. "When Draco comes to live with Harry and his relatives for the summer after fifth year, Harry thinks life at Privet Drive has reached an all-time low. Little does either boy know what surprises lie in store for them, as unexpected discoveries will be made and long-held preconceptions will be called into question."

Het. "AU. Harry, Ron, and Ginny send themselves back in time to avoid the destruction of everything they hold dear, and the deaths of everyone they love."

Het. "Part 3 of The Arithmancer Series. Hermione won the war, but her career as the world’s greatest arithmancer is just beginning. Now, she has places to go, spells to invent, and a family to start. Oh, and a whole lot of dementors to kill."

Gen. "Harry Potter's first friend is the garter snake that lives in Mrs. Figg's backyard. Harry Potter likes the family from the platform, but the redheaded kid doesn't seem to like his snake too much, and Harry sits with other people.

That's all it takes to change things.

Harry Potter is Sorted into Slytherin. The world is slightly different."

Slash. "Harry and Jax's third summer at Spinner's End and first as part of his new family. With fourth year comes a few surprises and an exasperated Harry that wishes for once that he could just have a regular school term. Or at least one that did not involve actual dragons, too many people trying to nose their way into his business, and the intrusion of far too numerous and unexpected emotions."

Gen. "An exploration of what a strict, unapproachable, safety-conscious potions teacher MIGHT have been like.

Featuring homework feedback, discussions between teachers, and a growing awareness that Potter is not quite what Severus was expecting..."

Gen. "Dudley Dursley, 37, has only just put his daughter on the Hogwarts Express and said goodbye when Platform 9 3/4 is attacked. In the ensuing explosion, he blacks out - and wakes up as an eleven year old back in Privet Drive. Confused and wary, he finds himself blundering through his life all over again, and unfortunately, being eleven isn't the only surprise in store."

Gen. "Nighttime was the worst part of Harry’s summer. He’d fall asleep, prepared for nightmares. He’d find his nightmares, and when he was startled awake, he’d lie in bed, thinking his mother or father were downstairs, probably having similar nightmares. There was nothing about sleep anymore that held comfort for him.

--- --- ---

How different would the world of Harry Potter be if James and Lily had lived?"

Gen. "When kids in the Slytherin Common Room tossed jeers at the pudgy feet of Millicent Bulstrode, Harry rose up to do something about it. This Harry, now one of Snape’s own, got fewer House points lost but many more detentions– it had never been the colors on his hem that Severus hated.

This was not wishing Harry an easy path. This was not wishing the boy a warm House. This was Harry, three weeks in, sleep deprived and considering running away and going back to Privet Drive. This was Harry in the back of Potions class, blank-faced under Snape’s disdain the way he’d perfected under the Dursleys’s torments.

When Quirrell shouted “troll in the dungeons, thought you ought to know,” and Harry overheard that there was a girl in the bathroom crying, he still ran off to make sure she got out okay. He hesitated first, at the back of the little pack of Slytherin first years (at the back so that no one could get behind him)– he hesitated.

And Millicent Bulstrode, who could never quite keep her tummy tucked in enough, could never brush all the cat hair off her robes, never quite keep her temper in check, hesitated, too."

Gen. "When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.

The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.

This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.

He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth."

Gen. "Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.

When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.

"Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.

Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. "I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”

"And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort.""

Gen. "Draco Malfoy has travelled back in time, befriended Harry Potter, defeated a shade of Voldemort himself, and worst of all, been Sorted into Gryffindor. He's made it past the first year, but it's getting so hard to keep it all in. He's mentally nineteen, with all the memories that come with it, but it's hard to keep it inside. He just wants to be able to tell someone...

Maybe he can."

Gen. "This is it. This is the end of it all.

Draco Lucius Malfoy has survived the Second Wizarding War and has been miraculously kept from going to Azkaban. The Aurors have his wand while he's on parole, but at least he's a free man. Free to do whatever he wants, including go to Diagon Alley where people shun him at best and throw curses and slurs at worst.

Draco made the wrong decisions. He doesn't belong in this world anymore, this world he helped to create. When he finds a way to go back to when it all began, he realizes this isn't the end.

This is just the beginning."

Gen. "Harry Potter is abruptly thrown into a different world upon receiving his letter from Hogwarts. Danger stalks him at every turn, light and dark are locked in a constant, eternal battle, and weaving it all together is this substance called magic..."

Gen. "31st October 1981, James dies but Lily manages to escape Godrics Hollow with Harry."

Slash. "In his fourth year, Harry falls for fellow Hogwarts student and Triwizard champion, Cedric Diggory."

Het. "Hunted by Voldemort, Hermione and Harry make a last stand in Godric's Hollow. When the Boy-Who-Lived lives no more, Hermione is thrown back in time into another battle where she has a chance to save not only Harry, but another Potter. — Begins Mid Deathly Hallows, AU going forward."

Gen. "It didn’t matter that Harry fell asleep thinking about a busy Saturday in Diagon Alley, or digging through the attic with his father, Sirius, and Uncle Remus. It didn’t matter that he went to bed with a stomach full of warm food, or that his mother tucked him into bed even though he was fourteen and he didn’t need it, but she still did it because she loved him and he loved her.

None of that mattered; the nightmares still came.

How different would the world of Harry Potter be if James and Lily had lived?"

Gen. "Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. Of course, there were many things about Harry that were normal: He loved summer vacation. He loved sports. And most of all, he loved his family.

--- --- ---

How different would the world of Harry Potter be if James and Lily had lived?"

Gen. "It wasn’t exactly the worst birthday ever. Harry was used to birthdays being spent with his parents, and with Sirius, and with Uncle Remus. He was used to his birthdays being quiet affairs, but this year he’d wanted a real birthday party. Not necessarily a big grand event, like for his eleventh birthday. Maybe just Ron and Hermione, or maybe he could invite all the boys in his dormitory too, and then there was his friends on the Quidditch team, and of course Susan and Hannah, and Padma and Lavender."

Gen. "Mr. and Mrs. Potter were not perfectly ordinary people. They did not live on an ordinary street like you or I. They did not have a small house with a number to differentiate it from the identical houses on either side of it. They had, in fact, quite the opposite of it all.

Gen. "Harry escapes the Dursleys with a unique bout of accidental magic and eventually winds up at the Grangers' house. Now, he has what he always wanted: a loving family—and he'll need their help to take on the magical world and vanquish the dark lord who has pursued him from birth. Years 1-4."

Het. "When Hermione finds a way to bring Sirius back from the veil, her actions change the rest of the war. Little does she know her spell restoring him to life provokes magic she doesn't understand and sets her on a path that ends with a Time-Turner."

Gen. "When Harry Potter meets a raving tramp on Kellogg's Walk, one that mumbles to him about Hogwarts, he doesn't suspect that it will change his life as he knows it. But it does.

Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, and Harry has to protect him from the Aurors and Dementors after his head."

Gen. "There are poisons that blind you, and poisons that open your eyes. The pride of a Slytherin is in his resource and cunning, and in the serpent's discerning gaze. At Hogwarts, Harry Potter learns to value pride, loyalty, and poison over mercy. Slytherin!Harry, platonic H&Hr duo, shipping later. Featuring ambiguous heroes, equivocal villains, and original and canon characters alike."

Femslash, het, and slash. "Now that he knows the full contents of the prophecy, Harry begins training in earnest to kill Voldemort, with the help of his dad and two best friends. Dumbledore has voluntarily offered to divulge extra information to Harry, and the Ministry has finally realised what's been staring them in the face for a year - but that doesn't mean that things will start to go smoothly for Harry.

Evil is gathering strength, and the signs are there - but will anyone read them in time?"

Slash. "Harry's back at Hogwarts, and his escaped convict godfather has followed him there, intent on murder. Harry would like to believe he's safe at school, but his death is being predicted on a weekly basis and, worst of all, Snape's taking the threat seriously. Lucky the Ministry has sent Dementors to guard the school, eh?"

Gen, with hints of pre-slash. "It's Harry's second year at Hogwarts, and he's beginning to wish that Voldemort was back to possessing his professors. Someone's targeting Muggleborns, and it's no fun being a Slytherin when most of the school thinks you're the one attacking other students."

Gen. "A retelling of the original series, but this time, our hero wears green and silver, not red and gold."

Gen. "What if on the night of November 1, 1981 someone else was there when Dumbledore dropped Harry off on the Dursley's doorstep? What if that person decided to spare the child a life of trauma and ignorance of his true heritage? What if ...

By the time Petunia Dursley opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, there was nothing to scream about, only some soot that she brushed away with the tip of her shoe before she disappeared back inside the house.

Severus Snape, on the other hand, found himself with a screaming bundle in his arms on the doorstep of the last house on Spinner's End in Cokeworth."

Gen. "AU: The first friend Harry Potter made on the Hogwarts express wasn't Ronald "Ron" Weasley; it was Veronica "Ronnie" Weasley, first-born daughter of the Weasley clan. And all of a sudden, the future looked very different.

Join the newly-formed "Potter's Gang" (consisting of Harry, Ronnie, Hermione and Neville) in their first year at Hogwarts as they get into all kinds of misadventures, and maybe have to face a certain Dark Lord before they're ready for it."

He wants nothing more than to return to Hogwarts, but when he is rescued by a masked wizard in a black robe, it sets off a chain reaction of disasters. Things are no calmer at school as an ancient legend comes to life and a deadly monster stalks the halls.

Whatever the Durleys have to say, it can't be anything good, so Harry's determined to ignore it. But then, his evil schoolmate rival spots the letter and his slimy excuse for a teacher intercepts it and forces him to read it. And that sends Harry down a path he'd never have walked on his own.

It will be a year of big changes, a year of great pain, and a year of confronting worst fears. It will be a year of surprising discoveries, of finding true strength, of finding out that first impressions of a person's true colours do not always ring true. It will be a year of paradigm shifts.

And from the most unexpected sources, Harry will have a chance to have that which he has never known: a home ... and a family.
