The problem with alluding to secrets, of course, is that they can be so easily misunderstood. Or why the entirety of Wizarding Britain is convinced that James Potter, Sirius Black, and Lily Evans are in a happy threesome.

Naruto is, in some way or another, related to or has a connection to a huge group of powerful A-rank or S-rank ninja, who proceeded to ignore him for most of his life. What if they weren't really as absent as it seems? Obito-nii, Kakashi-nii, Nagato-ji... Naruto clearly has a large extended family to deal with.

"Jason. My name is Jason." "Er...What?" "Did it ever occur to you, Potter, that my name may not be two unassociated nouns connected together to form some random nonsense word?" Griphook decides to teach at least one wizard about the pitfalls of making cultural assumptions.

A plea to the Albion Magicks for guidance the day before the Triwizard First Task seemed like a good idea in theory. How it resulted in the soaked and shivering form of a near-dead Regulus Black, Holly hadn't a clue. Maybe she was to use him as dragon bait? fem!Harry, Regulus x Harry, Neville x Hermione

Naruto Uzumaki dislikes ghosts. She especially dislikes the ghost of that absurdly cheerful Uchiha boy who refuses to leave her alone. Shisui x femNaruto

A house elf has only one purpose: to serve a master. The hallmark of a good elf is to anticipate the Master's needs before the wizard himself, and bend any rules to achieve them. They're limited only by their Master's power. Harry Potter is a powerful wizard, and Kreacher lives to serve the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black and its' Lord. Let the timeline be in redux.

An hour after Dumbledore told them about the prophecy, James had his entire family- including the dog- bundled up on a Muggle ferry to France. Because there's valiantly dying for the greater good, and then there's good parenting.

Justin's parents raised him to be the right sort, so he apologized after the Chamber of Secrets debacle. He thought that would be the end of the matter, but Holly Elizabeth Potter had a knack for piquing his interest, regardless of how unintentional it was. fem!Harry

Kushina wasn't impressed. "Seriously? You want to tell the whole village that our little girl is a jinchuuriki? ...Did you lose that much blood, baka?" Minato coughed. "Ah, I take it you don't approve then?" Naruto doesn't grow up under the shadow of Kyuubi. What can Naruto accomplish when she isn't hated? Warning: Major AU. Diverges from canon. Fuuinjutsu and med-nin fem!Naruto

Concerned with the direction his best friend's experiments are taking him, Godric Gryffindor evokes Magick to find a solution. "And to you, dear Salazar, I offer someone precious to safeguard your humanity." Salazar x Harry

Or why Minato Namikaze started learning fuuinjutsu. MinaKushi

Naruto develops an impressive tolerance towards killing intent from a young age.

Naruto chooses a singularly odd method of distracting the S-ranked ninja who are out to kill him.

'Jiraiya was the lucky one,' Tsunade mused, 'He set out to create a family.'

Naruto stepped in front of Sasuke at the bridge in Wave. Seeing his friend 'die' activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, and Sasuke used it to defeat Haku. It also raised an important question. If the Mangekyo could only be activated by the death of a precious person… did that mean Naruto was Sasuke's precious person?

Screwing up a space-time jutsu was not Naruto's intention. Neither was getting adopted as Mito's younger sister. Or catching the eye of the soon-to-be most powerful shinobi in the world. Also, Madara was starting to freak her out. Flowers could be interpreted as a declaration of war, right? fem!Naruto

"It could all be traced to the discovery of Pettigrew's betrayal. When the horrified Potters learned of their former friend's cowardice, they immediately became paranoid and closed ranks." Harry and siblings were raised safely in Potter Manor. He's not the BWL, but still gets involved in the drama, esp. when a certain Neville Longbottom catches his eye. JP/LE/SS RL/SB HP/NL Yaoi

There were some secrets that never passed the Golden Trio's lips. HP/HG/RW Hints of a threesome

An unusual response by Harry Potter to Draco Malfoy leaves Dumbledore amused, Minerva confused, and Severus bemused. "You're just jealous that Professor Snape likes me best!" Mildly implied Drarry.

The twenty times that someone thought that Naruto and Gaara were a couple, and the one time that they were actually right. NaruGaa
