Summary
After the horrors of the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter begins to wonder whether the adults entrusted with his life have ever truly acted in his best interests. After blowing up Aunt Marge, Harry isn’t met with a quiet reprimand or a hasty cover-up. Instead, Mafalda Hopkirk herself arrives armed with the full authority of the Ministry and acting under the watchful eye of Lord Parkinson. What they find is not a delinquent child, but the Boy Who Lived at his breaking point. Appalled by his treatment at the hands of his Muggle family, Lord Parkinson makes a decisive choice: Harry Potter will not go back. Taken into the ancient house of Parkinson, Harry is introduced not only to his inheritance, but also to the old laws of magical Britain, and the truths long kept from him. As he embraces the shadows within himself, Hadrian James Potter becomes something far more dangerous than the Ministry or Albus Dumbledore ever imagined. Where a figurehead once stood--cowed and stooped from neglect--a dark catalyst has emerged, and in his wake, the fate of Britain’s darkest families will be rewritten forever.

Summary
“Right…right. How about the day I got my first Hogwarts letter?” Harry suggested. He didn’t have time to wait for an answer as everything went black… and then he woke up in his cupboard under the stairs at 4 Privet Drive.
“Rude.” He mumbled only to sigh when he heard how high his voice sounded. In the back of his mind, he heard the fading voice of Death. “Don’t give up this time.”

Summary
let us live, since we must die.
Harry Potter's world is turned upside down as he comes to realize that a majority of the people he's trusted since he was thrust into the magical world at eleven, were not working in his best interest, and the biggest threat he has to defeat is not, in fact, Voldemort, but someone much closer to him than he thought. Enter, the future heirs of Wizarding Britain, who try to make up for the lost years of training, all while keeping up with their studies, spying on the new Defense Professor, avoiding the Headmaster, and trying to make sure their classmates are ready to fight the war looming over their heads.
Oh, and Harry comes to the crashing realization that his obsession with Draco Malfoy was never just a rivalry.
