Summary
They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.
---------
Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.
Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

Victoria Potter and the Houses of Hogwarts by NitwitBlubberOddmentTweak

Summary
Victoria Potter had always known she was different. No matter how hard her Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia tried to pretend otherwise, she could do things they couldn’t, and see things they wouldn’t.
It was only when Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts School came to visit that she realised just how different she was. Sorted into Slytherin, in her first year at Hogwarts school she would find true friends, learn magic, and discover the secrets of the Houses of Hogwarts.
Magically talented, Slytherin fem!Harry. AU world with a canonical tone. No rehash of the stations of canon. No bashing. No kid politicians. No 11-year-old romances.

Summary
Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.

Beautiful, brilliant, heartbreaking story. The writer managed to make canon, in-character Snape likeable, which is an achievement on its own as most fanficiton (even well-written fics) tends to water down his worst personality traits. This fic is so good that you might see it as part of canon after reading it. Highly recommended.

Well-written, brilliant story with Ginny as a protagonist. The summary and the very start of the story doesn't look too promising but your mind will be blown away quickly as the story progresses. This story contains good writing, interesting original characters, character development, interesting plot points.... Highly recommended, one of my top favourites.
And this quote, I cherish the most:
"It’s clear that there’s something bright and brilliant trying to get out of Nicola. Ginny sees how easy it might be for all of that to fade if it’s ignored and suppressed for too long." -

Summary
In the aftermath of the war, Harry still has plenty of demons left to fight.
Post-DH, not compliant with the epilogue.

One of the better Harry/Luna pairing out there. Sadly, unfinished and it stopped before they even became a couple. But don't let that discourage you, I didn't regret reading it.
