Summary
AU. Harry Grayson comes to Hogwarts, knowing himself the bastard son of a Muggle woman, his Aunt Petunia’s sister, and an unknown father. When he’s Sorted into Slytherin, the only Muggleborn there, he does what he has to to survive. If that means allying with Slytherins who are willing to overlook his blood for how useful he can be to them, that’s what Harry will do. Honestly, he considers himself lucky to find as much joy as he does along the way.

Summary
Harry is looking forward to a summer free of Sirius Black. And he gets it—but not without his Defense tutor, who has begun to study esoteric magic, giving Harry the bad news that he’s a Horcrux. The race is on to remove the Horcrux from Harry and defeat Voldemort. Because the one thing Harry’s not going to do is die.
(Note: the rating is for violence).
This is the sixth entry in my “These Creatures” series, following “Creatures of Worth,” “Creatures of Pride,” “Creatures of Strength,” “Creatures of Truth,” and “Creatures of Faith.” Don’t try to read this without reading those first. As well, be advised that this is an extremely dark fic.

Summary
Harry returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year more settled than he was last year when Sirius Black escaped, and even finds a mentor in the new Defense professor. However, his sense of security lasts only until he’s entered in the Tri-Wizard Tournament—the obstacle that might kill him at last.

Summary
Sequel to “Creatures of Worth” and “Creatures of Pride.” Harry reacts to the news that Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban by increasing his study of violent magic, so that he can punish his traitorous godfather when he finds him. His life is also disrupted by the return of Remus Lupin, who knew his parents, as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. But Harry doesn’t intend to let either of these men stop him from protecting himself, or endanger his living situation with Madam Marchbanks.
