I saved Gabrielle from the lake and a rather handsy merman. I haven't decided if that's a good or bad thing yet. Turns out, I really should have read the terms and conditions for being a hero. Dumbledore is twinkling up a storm, my chest really itches, there's a toad in the office, Gabrielle is smiling, and I am still thirsty. No bonds. Harry/Gabby. M for safety.
I met him when I was still a student, you know. I had no idea who he was, but I knew he was special. I knew that he was someone who mattered. My name is Ginny Weasley, and I fell for Harry Potter, the Bookmaker. Knowledge is power, after all. AU!
When Harry encounters the merpeople who live in the Black Lake, things go a bit differently. Harry's "saving-people-thing" was always taken to the extreme.
AU, scientific!Harry. First person POV, for most of the story. Is it so wrong to want to be normal? To just live your life like everyone else? Apparently so.
Dumbledore is dying. An old man on his last days, he finds a student, an heir, to uphold his family name. Very AU, no BWL, Slytherin!Harry, Apprentice story.
