Beta: magickmaker17
Rating: PG-13 for now
Pairings: Intended - HP/LV, Possible - HP/DM, Possible - NL/HG, SB/RL
Warnings: AU, an attempt to not copy the book, bloody OOC-ness
Summary: When Albus Dumbledore leaves Harry Potter on the doorstep of the Dursleys, the last thing he expected was for an unknown relative to disappear with the boy for ten years. Enter Thomas Potter, a man who intends to change the past, the present, and the future.

Disclaim Her: It's in the first chapter.

A/N: Following on what some people said to do for chapter six, the letters are only really for important things that happen. Assume they're writing weekly – or biweekly when things get busy or there's nothing to write about – and we'll just go from there. Uhm, Thomas and Lucius both attend all the Gryffindor and/or Slytherin Quidditch matches, FYI. The Grangers don't always come – it's harder to get Muggles into Hogwarts because of the charms on the building – Narcissa and Remus come sometimes and Sirius only comes for the Gryffindor matches.

I've never been to France and I don't speak a word of French. I do, however, have this lovely travel book about France and a small phrase book with some French in it. And an online translator. (Translations are at the end.)
On that note, my travel book has nothing about the place I picked to be Thomas' hometown and I didn't feel like searching the web for a site about the place that's not in French, so I'm making it up. Deal with it.

Rating: M/R
Pairings: Mmmm... Not telling, though I'm sure you can guess.
Warnings: Clearly AU, OOCness, child abuse, anti-Dumbledore, pro-Hermione and Ron
Summary: Even heroes need a saviour, and when an unknown admirer starts sending Harry letters the summer before his sixth year, it's time for Harry to meet his.

Disclaim Her: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended.

A/N: I have been writing this in a notebook for quite some time now and am only now actually sitting down to type it up. As I'm somewhat notorious for how long it takes me to type things up if I've already written them down somewhere – look to Salir for an example – this won't have an update schedule. It's also not finished in the notebook, so eventually I'll get to that spot and have to start thinking about what's going to happen from there. When I get to that point, I'll let you know.

I'm not going to have a beta for this unless it looks like I really need one. If it comes to that, I'll probably turn to magickmaker17, unless college life looks to be too much for her, in which case I'll beg help of my LJ f-list.

Disclaim Her: It's in the first chapter.

A/N: I am undecided as to what to call the Malfoy home. Manor and Mansion seems to be used interchangeably at the Lexicon and I don't remember any particular term used for sure in the books, except in DH where one of the chapters is named after the house. But that's an entirely different can of worms.

I think this chapter's just going to be the summer – I managed to pull enough out of my arse to make a reasonable chapter out of it – so second year and possibly the following summer will be next chapter.

( The First Summer )

I have made a timeline for Déguiser. It can be found here.
No, it's not a complete timeline. Duh. The series isn't done yet.
I plan to update the timeline pretty much every two years or so in the fic.

This is going up at FFN and HPFandom as well.

I have this urge to make this chapter as short as possible, just to keep last chapter from happening again. *stare*

Disclaim Her: It's in the first chapter. (I might put some things from DH in later chapters as background info on characters, but it won't be anything too important or anything.)

A/N: Merlin forbid if I don't get Christmas in this chapter. *stare*

Also, since I just now came up with a name for the author of the Young Hawk series, it never made it in any earlier chapter. Oops. So when Thomas sends Harry a book by Kavi Callum, it is the Young Hawk series. I'll see about fixing that in chapter two eventually. Maybe. If I'm not feeling too lazy, I mean. XD

I don't know when the full moon dates were for this year, so I'm making it up to suit my needs. XP

Also! This is a day early on account of Dan Radcliffe's birthday. XD

Disclaim Her: It's in the first chapter.
As per anything I write that's legal and all, everything I know I get from my mother the paralegal and we're American. So it's all American legal jargon. I do try to stay somewhat true to the few cases in the books, but, you know.

A/N: As one might expect, this chapter gets ridiculous near the end. Well, middle, I suppose.

Disclaim Her: It's in the first chapter. Additionally, The Lost Years of Merlin Saga belongs to T. A. Barron and related publishers, not me.

A/N: This chapter starts out a bit darker than I intended. Not sure I really like the first bit. *sighs* Oh well. Can't always win, I suppose.

Oh, if something is in italics and between a single quote mark – don't know the technical term, don't care, either – it's a letter. You could probably figure that out yourself....

Disclaim Her: It's in the first chapter.

A/N: I think, since I'm trying to do this mostly from Thomas' point of view, that I'm just gonna brush over Harry's years in Hogwarts. Maybe I'll just do a chapter or two of letters between them?

Sorry it took so long to put this chapter up – we're in the process of moving, see, so a lot of stuff got put on hold. It's been trying, I promise you. So, you know, I've been suffering too. *nervous laughter*

Disclaim Her: I don’t own Harry Potter.

A/N: A post!
The world seems to have exploded.

This is a continuation, of sorts, of the drabble "No One" which was written and posted on my LJ and at HP Fandom in March of '06.

# $ #

I drift up, touch the ceiling.

But I go right through.

So I try to touch the roof.

But I go right through.

I want to hug a tree, even the Whomping Willow.

It doesn't even twitch at me.

I want to open the door, slam it open so everyone turns to look.

My hand encounters no resistance. I make no noise.

I want to ride the winds, make sharp turns, control my broom.

Now, I can't even control my destiny.

I want a place where I belong.

But there's no room here for a ghost.

Rating: hard R
Pairings: Voldemort/Tom Riddle(non-con), Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, Tom/Harry
Warnings: Rape(non-graphic), physical violence, serious death threats, war, slash, het
Summary: An accident has separated Tom Riddle from Lord Voldemort. What will the Dark Lord do now that he's free from Tom's conscious? How much will Tom have to suffer at the hand of his other half? And what can Harry Potter do to help?

Disclaim Her: I'd apologize for taking ages to update, but it takes too much effort and I'm tired.

A/N: Any mistakes are simply the fault of my bandaged finger. I pulled a little too much skin away and it hurts to type with it if it's not got a bandage on it. *sweatdrop*

I WAS going to make this an actual chapter, but after twiddling my thumbs over it for however long it took me to write this and not getting anywhere, then going back and reading the last couple chapters, I decided that an Epilogue is about the best I can do.

Hmmm.... First person. First person.... *sweatdrop*

( Epilogue: Just A Little Case of Paradise )

So, an idea for a fic came to me a couple weeks ago, but I haven't really gotten any inspiration, so I thought I'd post the idea up here as a challenge, of sorts, for anyone who wants to try it. There's no set pairing, no set anything, really, as long as it focuses on the Unspeakables.
Here's the 'line' - and I use that term loosely - that popped into my head all those weeks ago:

'Ages before anyone had heard of Hogwarts, there was a wizard who triumphed over evil time and again. Long before there were recorded prophecies, this one wizard was shaking the world with his chosen king and falling to a fate pre-written.

Centuries before Hogwarts' 'greatest Headmaster' was born, there was a tale made of four great powers coming together to do what none had dared do before. Of their triumphs and downfalls and the ending of it all.

Decades before the creation of the prophecy that would control one child's life and end the life of a different man, there was a name passed about that would salvage the wizarding and muggle worlds alike by taking down the one German power. A name that would mark history books for centuries to follow his dive off a high tower.

So close, yet so far, to the day we currently hold dear to our hearts, there was a woman's voice speaking of a child born to defeat a deadly darkness. Or be defeated in return.

And, in the centre of it all, sat the infamous 'Department of Mysteries'. A hallowed ground in the pit of Muggle London that held the greatest secrets of our past, our present, and our future.

And the one name passed down to protect these secrets?

The Unspeakables.'


If you do write a fic for this, lemme know, eh? I'm always interesting in a distraction that isn't my homework.
Speaking of.... *scampers off*

A/N: As you can see, the top bit is quite different from my usual. It takes up less space this way. I started using it on a fic which is, currently, only up on Fiction Alley. Decided I liked it. Think I'll continue it for this fic and that one on FA. *sweat*
Basically, I'll only add to this if there's something new in that chapter - whether it be chapter specific or for the rest of the fic.

For those of you who've been asking about Ron, he's in here.

A/N: This is to a song by Blue October - see above. If you are reading the FFN version, the lyrics won't be written in, so you'll have to go to LJ, HPFandom, or SilverSnitch(maybe) to get 'em.
If you're reading this WITH the lyrics - or you know the song - you'll see that the lyrics don't really match the goings on in the fic. *sweatdrop* Well, allow me a little creative space here. *nervous laughter*
