Easly one of the best post Deathly Hallows stories I've read. This story is not like most other do-over stories I've read. In this one, not only did Harry, Ron, and Ginny go backwards in time, but they go into a parrell universe were the prophecy is different and parts of it have been leaked to the public in an attempt to tell the public that Harry could be the next dark wizard. The story does have the Deathly Hallows in it and Harry and Ginny got married before they went backwards in time. There are some sex scenes in the story but the author puts a hard to miss warning before them so you can skip over them if you, like me, don't want to read that kind of stuff.

This is the story of what happened to Harry if he didnt live his life at the Dursleys but with his father? Where was his mother? Why was it different? How much would be the same? And how much would be different? How many surprises will greet him along the way?
A series of three stories

An very interesting what if story. Its not Deathly Hallows compadible but still a good read. It took me a month to read the first story in the series. I read this to cure my post Deathly Hallows depression.

Recommender's comments: A good story in which Remus adopts Harry and raises him as his own son. The story after the adoption fast forwards to Harry's first year at Hogwarts. Harry's experiences after that are similar to the books up until year three when the "butterfly effect" starts to kick in.

Recommender's comments: An alternate year one story. The change starts with Harry's sorting. He is sorted into both Gryffindor and Slytherin. Madam Pomphrey notices the glamors and has him taking to the hospital wing where it is revealed that they were hiding numerous injuries that Harry has recieved from being abused by the Dursleys. Snape agrees to be Harry's gardian. The events at Hogwarts play out more or less the same except Harry isn't directly involved in them. After Harry's first year, Snape comes up with a plan for him and Harry to go backwards in time and prevent Harry from ever living with the Dursleys by killing Voldemort before he has has the chance to kill Harry's parents. The story shows a little of the side of Dumbledore that does things for the "Greater Good". For example, after its discovered the Dursleys were abusing Harry, he insists that Harry continues to live with them and then on Harry's 12th birthday, shortly before Harry and Snape go backwards in time, it's revealed that he knew that James Potter wasn't Harry's real father but Snape was.

This is one of the few Slytherin!Harry stories I've read where Snape is friendly to Harry from the moment they met. There are a lot of typos and the chapters are realy short at first but if I recall starting with chapter 11, they get to a resonable length (1000+). Chapter 14 is the longest. Its defenitly over 5000 words but I'm not sure. I haven't bothered to count.
The plot is interesting. Harry is friends with Draco, Ron, and Hermione at first but Neville, Blaze Zambini, and Pansy Parkinson join the group. Milcent Billstrude takes Draco's roll as the primary rival to the gang.

Eleven year old Harry Potter is waiting to leave for Hogwarts. While he is waiting for the Dursleys to wake, he finds a letter addressed to him...from himself. It has a simple message: Get to know Ginny Weasley. Post OOTP. AU. Extended edition.

Fate's Debt is a soul bond fic. The first few chapters are rushed but its because either nothing relavent to the story is going on or what is going on is like what happened in canon. The story sticks with canon events but how they unfold are different. The "butterfly effect" gets more noticible as the story progresses.
The Dumbledore in this story makes me sick. He knows the Dursleys are not nice to Harry and knows it is wrong to force Harry to stay with them part of the summer but forces Harry to anyways. He comes across as a good person that is a reluctant villian for Harry and Ginny but the confict between then is more words then anything else (though there is some typical teenage rebellionish on Harry and Ginny's part) but they get along and help each other when the situation requires it.
Overall, an interesting story that I recommend.

In the first sequel to Neville Longbottom and the Philosopher's Stone (prior reading recommended), Neville, the Boy-Who-Lived, enters his second year at Hogwarts, and confronts prejudice and discrimination in the wizarding world and an ancient threat to Hogwarts itself.
How will Neville face these challenges and what new secrets will be discovered? Welcome to Year 2...

The ultimate 'what if?'. What if Voldemort had chosen Neville rather than Harry as the boy meant by the prophecy? What if Neville was the Boy-Who-Lived and Harry was the "might have been"?
Join Neville as he faces some familiar and less familiar challenges of his first year at Hogwarts in the first of an epic seven story series mirroring the original novels.

I'm a little dissapointed with some of the revalations in this story. Mostly that it appears that Harry and Neville's parents have switched positions. In other words Harry's parents suffered the same fate that Neville's parents had in HP canon.

What if JKR had never intended the Harry Potter series to be for children? How would Harry’s time at the Dursleys been written? This story focuses on the years Harry lived in the cupboard under the stairs at number four Privet Drive, as well as his first appearance at Hogwarts. The treatment he receives during his decade there is not described in fairy tale terms. The boy who initially develops is not the Harry Potter we know. The story is liberally AU, with different personality traits, events, and relationships used to reflect the changes in this very different Harry and the environment in which he grew up. In the end, through the assistance of a certain redheaded young lady, Harry ultimately finds the life he should have had and rediscovers the qualities he always had inside of him. While I am not a psychologist or child development expert, the symptoms, actions, and behaviors portrayed reflect the realities of child abuse. Appropriate disclosures will be contained in the Author’s Notes above the chapter when warranted.
