    Summary

    Magic will follow intent. He has been told that in every class, every year, since he first stepped foot in Hogwarts. No spell, no potion—nothing will work unless your intent is clear and your mind is focused. So he’s not really surprised to find himself here once again—on the precipice of highly improbable, though not impossible, magic.

    After all, he is “The Boy Who Lived.” So he’ll figure out a way to live through this like he always does, because Harry Potter always perseveres—even if he can’t be “Harry Potter” anymore, and it’s 1974, and Voldemort is at the height of his power, and Severus Snape has, weirdly enough, really pretty eyes.

    “Yeah,” Harry thought as he attempted to ignore that last bit his mind unhelpfully added on, “I can do this.”

    Summary

    Harry was relieved to be back at Hogwarts for his sixth year. At least, he was until Ron got a girlfriend and Hermione lost her mind over it. Typical chaos ensues.

    Severus just wants one year where he can relax. With no unbreakable vows and Voldemort taking a year to recoup after the events at the Ministry, Snape thought his peace had finally arrived. He could not have been more wrong.

    Summary

    When Harry wakes in the past, he’s determined to change everything - to save lives, stop the war before it begins, and rewrite the ending for a boy who was never given a chance. But building trust with a young Severus Snape is more than strategy - it’s friendship, and maybe something Harry never expected to find.

    Together, they’ll hunt Horcruxes, challenge destiny, and find healing in a world not yet broken.
