Summary
This is the story of a Petunia Dursley who saw Harry Potter sleeping on her stoop and said 'How can this benefit me?'
And it's the story of Harold Evans Dursley who grew up knowing there was power in being polite and that sometimes getting people to do what you want was easier than you'd think. Also, having Dudley sit on the kids trying to punch you works like a charm.
And it's the story of Dudley Dursley who is determined to squash bullies, be polite, and do the best he can at--well, everything. He's going to learn languages and battle maths and end up working at Grunnings with his brother. And everything will be totally brill.
This is a story of book clubs and bridge, parseltongue shenanigans and owl-backed child mafias, of all the things that happen while they're not at Hogwarts-- and all the stuff that does.
It's a story about Harold the Normal. He's here to learn magic and go home... because the rest of his life is waiting for him.

Summary
In which Dumbledore actually listens to Mrs. Figg's reports of child neglect, and Remus Lupin ends up becoming five-year-old Harry Potter's guardian. Technically. It helps to have the Chief Warlock on your side to smooth out the legalities. Now, what to do with all of Sirius Black's undeserved money? Humorous oneshot.

Summary
At the moment of his death, Severus Snape travels back in time to his worst memory... and promptly "nopes" right out of that situation to go do something better with this second life. He ends up in an unlikely collaboration with Petunia Evans and Sybill Trelawney on a quest to save John Lennon. (Pure crack)

Summary
When Tom Riddle returns to London for the summer, he finds Wool's Orphanage was hit during the Blitz. Rather than staying in the parish church or on the streets, Tom angrily breaks in to the Leaky Cauldron that night. The barman doesn't punish him. Instead, he rallies various magical adults in Tom's life to get him the help he needs, and even a family to live with, the Lovegoods...
