Summary
Gabrielle Delacour was saved from the Black Lake by none other than Britain's notorious Harry Potter. Rather than put the boy on a pedestal, the precocious French witch becomes his pen pal, his friend, and then more.
The initial idea was to have the least creepy Gabrielle/Harry story I could, without wildly changing ages or anything. I've read a few fun romance stories with the pairing, but often Gabrielle is aged up or veela shenanigans are story elements.
At first I thought I could keep it tight to canon, but the truth is that as soon as Harry starts talking to, and trusting, people outside his friend group and Dumbledore, things deviate. Not to the extent of my other stories though.
All content is letters between Harry and Gabrielle. Communications mentioned but not shown between these two and other characters are left to the reader's imagination. Some letters between the two are skipped as well, usually for narrative purposes.
'Correspondants' is French for Pen Pals (according to the internet).

Holly Potter and the Magics of the Mind by Writing_Heroics

Summary
Holly Pandora Potter is more morally flexible than the Harry James Potter who exists in other stories. When thinking about Lockhart and his 'Memory Charm', after surviving the events down in the Chamber of Secrets, Holly considers the possibilities.
‘It isn’t even the best way you could use a spell like that.’ The twelve year old Holly thought to herself. ‘I mean, if you were evil you could commit any number of crimes in front of witnesses and just remove their memories. Even if you’re not particularly bad it would have to be useful, especially against bad people. Ha! I’d love to make the Dursleys forget about me. Forget about magic too, for that matter.’
Things to know:
- Pottermore states that Memory Charms are in the second year Standard Book of Spells, this is not so in this story (or really any story I write)
- There will be some ponderings on morality
- Fem Harry is because I love those stories and want to write one, not because of some greater reason or commentary
- Not a fan of JK's politics or beliefs, but this world remains stuck in my head -
Harry Potter, Paranormal Agent by Writing_Heroics

Summary
Harry's first primary teacher reported the Dursleys for abuse, so Harry was adopted by a loving couple that were engaged in researching esoteric science. Rather than ignore the accidental magic that Harry had done, Rebecca and Edward Sharp helped their new son control and hone his abilities. By the time Harry's Godfather and Uncle Remus tracked Harry down he was already quite skilled in certain uses of magic, even if he called it 'Fizz'. He was also best friends and brother to Matilda Honey, a girl who could also move things with her mind, but not in the same way he could.
As such, it is time for a poignant goodbye between Harry and his Family on September 1st, 1991. He has new people to meet, things to learn, and he's been contracted as an agent by his parents' boss to find out how dangerous the magical world might be for humanity as a whole.
This won't be a canon rehash, but there will be some familiar encounters because it wouldn't be as fun otherwise. No House of Potter or Lordship games, even if the Blacks still have a large amount of influence. Dating will happen in the future, but the kids are 11, give them a minute.
Oh, Harry is eleven and therefore can be rather silly at times.

Summary
Harry Potter wakes up on their 10th birthday with the memories of a much older version of themselves. Decades removed from childhood abuse and the war, those memories of a person with extensive therapy and a positive self image influence everything that Harry chooses to do now.
Like assuming the identity of Lily James and getting the hell out of Britain.
A one-shot that could be more if there is enough interest, but I'm not starting another WIP at the moment.
And if the Trans inclusion didn't communicate my disdain for JK's politics, I'll say it clearly: I do not agree with JK's politics.

Pretty sure it would be short and there wouldn't be much action.
Also described as telling Dumbledore off without yelling, somehow.

Summary
Minerva McGonagall was a clever, no-nonsense type of woman.
So, when Albus Dumbledore called her to a muggle home to transfer the infant that just defeated the dark lord to the care of the painfully average muggle family, she had several protests.
“What do you suggest then, Minerva? What family could keep her safe from those who are angry with their lord’s defeat, while not allowing her to be placed on a pedestal? There are too many that would take advantage of such access to the girl-who-lived, as they are calling her.” Dumbledore asked distractedly.
An idea occurred to her. An idea more reckless and Gryffindor-like than any stunt her students had pulled since the Marauders graduated.
“I could do it,” she said, hardly believing the words were leaving her own mouth.

Read to 50, ‘end of part 1’. Let it bake, heavy, but fine if you emote in that space.

Brilliant, if an update takes longer than a couple of months, just reread it all. It is that good.
