Summary
“Do you think he meant it?” Harry asked, once the professor was gone, tracing the gilded lettering of his own name on the letter he'd given Harry. “We're really Wizards?”
“It makes sense,” Tom shrugged, though he could hardly look away from his own letter, the proof of what he'd always known, in some pit inside himself, that he was something different from everyone around him, that he was something better. He'd believed the first priest that had told him the same thing, albeit it opposite in nature, that he was a devil. It had made sense at the time, just as this answer did. Anything that offered an explanation for his being set so apart.
“I'm glad it's both of us,” Harry said, green eyes somehow greener, the natural brightness in him turning incandescent. Tom had thought he'd known the answer for that before too, dull hours at Sunday service spent gazing at the sun illuminating stained glass portraits, thinking: angel. “I'm glad we're going together.”
“We'll always go together,” Tom said, knowing it as fact, unable to imagine anything different. Wherever he went, Harry was sure to follow. It'd been that way forever. It would surely always be that way.

Summary
When Harry is eight, he suddenly starts hearing a voice in his head – the voice of a boy named Tom. Tom has next to no memories of an existence outside of Harry’s head, and he has no idea how he ended up there. The two boys soon become friends and decide that together, they will solve this mystery. And while they’re at it, they can explore others: like their super powers, human psychology or the origin of a very mysterious letter …
This fanfic explores how the story of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone might have changed if Harry had a smart and cunning friend sharing his body… if the Dursleys had never seen a certain letter arrive and if Harry decided to explore King’s Cross all by himself on the 1st of September.

Summary
Harry came back from death not quite himself.
Sirius came back from death exactly the same.
They soon realise being alive isn't the same as living.
He doesn’t understand what’s happened. His muscles tense and he prepares to throw himself at the stranger, to overpower and steal his wand if necessary, but the man simply stands there. Staring at him.
Sirius doesn’t relax, not fully, but his gaze narrows onto the shocked eyes behind glasses—
James? is his first confused thought.
Harry? is his second when it dawns on him that those eyes are green.
