Summary
At the end of first year, Harry pocketed the Philosopher's Stone- in a secret pocket that everyone else missed.
Now, two years later, Harry is in his third year, his friends are having the time of their lives in Hogsmeade, there's an escaped mass murderer running around, and Harry is going stir-crazy. Fortunately, the twins have a solution! Although- they're going to need something in return, and it needs to be good.
Good thing Harry kept that Stone, huh?
And then things go completely bat-shit crazy.
(featuring the Marauders vs 1993, an exhausted Professor Lupin, a bewildered Harry Potter, and an opportunistic Hermione Granger)

Summary
"She took a deep breath, stealing herself to make her move, trying to think what to say. Her eyes rose to the ceiling, hoping this would help them dry out and stop their traitorous tears. And her gaze fell on a small bundle of mistletoe over Harry’s head. Her heart stopped. A newfound clarity filled her mind. It was fate. It was meant to be. It was a sign. A sign that maybe, just maybe, she could leave it all behind and move on."
Or...
OotP: Cho and Harry's first kiss.

Summary
"Harry wasn't going to take it back; only see it. Only to make sure it was hidden underneath the decaying leaves or camouflaged by the grey and white pebbles scattered around here and there, like defeated chessmen knocked off the board. Only to say goodbye, really."
Harry returns to the Forbidden Forest to take his Golden Snitch and leave the Resurrection Stone. A story about losing, keeping, and letting go.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Also a Snake is There by gonzoclock

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book three.
Features: pretty much everyone having a horrible year. Really, I'm trying to think of someone who has a good year and I can't think of ONE.
Also features: Harry Potter discovering teenage rebellion (and Merlin capitalizing on that fact); Remus Lupin being the best damn DADA Professor Hogwarts has ever seen; Ron Weasley living in the state we call denial and making it everyone else's problem; Hermione Granger planning a murder; Sirius Black, who just wanted to kill ONE RAT, how has it spiraled this badly; a catastrophic miscommunication; Tom Riddle trying to keep his idiot relative alive (it should not be as hard as it is but here we are); and a Theodore Nott that's- well. You'll see.

Summary
Fudge doesn’t try to ignore Voldemort’s return at the end of the 4th Year. Instead, influenced by Malfoy, he tries to appease the Dark Lord. Many think that the rights of the muggleborns are a small price to pay to avoid a bloody war. Hermione Granger and the other muggleborns disagree. Vehemently.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!
