HPTMR, AU. Harry has been hiding in plain sight all his life, since he has Minister Tom Riddle's soul-mark on his arm, and a fulfilled soul-bond will make Riddle incredibly powerful. Harry works as a junior Ministry official feeding his fugitive parents and godfather what information he can. No one, least of all Harry, expects him to be abruptly pulled into Riddle's sphere.
Voldemort never thougth he could die. James and Lily Potter did. How does that ties up with a french veela and her hostage in the lake?
What if at the Hallway of Mysteries Sirius survives with one well placed disarming charm? It worked against the Dark Lord, didn't it? What if Harry's luck and timing worked in his favor? What does it mean for a phoenix to die? What happens if all the Horcruxes are killed before sixth year? What if Harry saw Luna for who she was? The love of his life. A less depressing sixth year.
