Summary
Petunia wasn't the smart one. Or the pretty one. Or the magical one. But she was cunning, resourceful, and she knew what she wanted from life... and she got it.
So when her nephew turns up on her doorstep one cold November morning, she sees it as the opportunity that it is.
---
This was an odd little earworm of a plot bunny that wouldn't leave me alone. I'm much more inclined to shorter works, so it's a bit of a patchwork story.
Note on the tags. Petunia is... Petunia. She is not really 'Nice' or 'Good' but she's not 'Mean' or 'Evil' either. She's a selfish, self-centered woman with a brittle sense of self-esteem and a drive to be recognized as successful in her own right. I tagged it 'Good' because that was the closest I could get to 'not the horrible person from the book, but not really even close to a Molly'.
Also: I will not be tagging every single person who appears in the fic, only those with reoccurring roles. This is not a bashing fic and I've done as best as possible to give rational(ish) 'good intentions' explanations for the canon shenanigans.

Summary
Harrison Smith was an ordinary boy, thank you very much. He lived in a flat on a council estate with his mother, he went to school and did his homework, and always left an extra portion of dinner for Mum to have when she got off her late shifts at the local chippie.
Harrison Smith didn’t know his dad. Mum said he’d died in a work accident when Harrison was young. Mum didn’t really talk about it much, but Harrison got the feeling from the photographs she kept that they loved each other very much.
Everything changed on his eleventh birthday, when he found out he was not only a wizard, but also Harry, Lord of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter. Now Harry must begin his first year at Hogwarts, where he will discover new friends and enemies, as well as the numerous secrets that Mum herself keeps…

Summary
Halley thought she would find her salvation in Hogwarts; it gave her warmth, food, and a chance to survive. But when the Chamber of Secrets opens, she learns once again that you can never trust a good thing.
“I have a proposition for you, Miss Potter.”
“What is it?”
“Have you ever been trapped somewhere Halley?” he asked, as he walked around the girl. He knew her eyes were on him and it made Tom feel powerful, like he hadn’t felt in a long while. “And no matter what you do, you can’t be free.”
“It’s torturous, isn’t it?” he asked.
Halley didn’t know what to say. This was a new kind of behaviour, one that she didn’t know how to deal with. The closest she’d come to seeing it was with Dumbledore; placing himself above the conversation by stating all these questions that she was never going to get an answer to.
“I’ve waited an incredibly long time to escape.”
“Is that why you made her open the Chamber?” Halley asked.
“No."
