Saving Harry by The Seeker starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 1040]
** Winner of the March 2008 Dumbledore's Silver Trinket Award for Best Overall **
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....

The Prevailing Counterpoint by GHL starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 193]
** Winner of the July 2014 Dumbledore's Silver Trinket Award for Best Completed **

"We can prevail," Ginny whispered. "I mean sooner. Not later. Not months and months of people dying and lives being torn apart..." As the summer of 1997 draws to a close, Harry and Ginny return to Hogwarts to forge unlikely alliances, protect the innocent, and dispel the encroaching darkness. Propelled by powerful convictions and enlightened by a reclusive pair of mystics, they glimpse an unlikely path to victory.

Making the most of every day in a race against the clock, our two protagonists move all of the pieces into place: teaching, learning and refining their way toward a perfect strategy to quell the mounting threat. But one sudden disaster tips their world on end: armed with love, humour and steadfast friendships, they careen wildly toward the ultimate clash.

This is a modest attempt to explore where Matt Fake-a-Smile's thrillers 'Taking Control' and 'Free Life' could have taken us if....

The World I Leave Behind by NES85 starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 576]
** Winner of the July 2011 Dumbledore's Silver Trinket Award for Best Drama **
Harry went into the forbidden forest to let Lord Voldemort kill him, but he was taken prisoner, instead. One year later, the wizarding world teeters on the edge of chaos as the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters continue to gain power. With Harry believed to be dead, those closest to him — Ginny, Ron, and Hermione — have broken apart as they struggle to find a way forward.

This is a novel-length story. While it contains some action, it mostly focuses on character-driven scenes involving Harry and Ginny, and to a slightly lesser extent, Ron and Hermione. Canon is strictly followed up to Chapter 34 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The R rating and warnings are used as a precaution for some scenes, but the story in general doesn't carry a strong theme of adult material.

The events following Harry Potter's second year didn't quite turn out as well as they should have. Ginny Weasley, in fact, was not all right, and she pushed away everyone and everything that was important to her in her guilt and depression. But then, someone she never expected walks into her head (quite literally) and changes her life forever. A HarryGinny Epic.
