  2. The Lesser of Three Evils by The Obsidian Warlock

    When Voldemort murdered Lily Potter, she made a supreme sacrifice to save her son. 10 years later, young Harry, never able to win the love of his aunt and uncle, is thrust into a world that calls him a hero. As the years count down to a brutal war, Harry must unravel the mystery of his mother's gift to save his friends, and decide to whom he owes his allegiance: The man who murdered his parents; the corrupt politicians of the Ministry; or a man more than a century old, whose ideals mark him as a genius ... or insane. AU right from first year. H/Hr. Minimal Weasleys. Hufflepuff!Harry. Rated R for the content of later chapters.

    My answer to the Hotel of Horror challenge from Ancient Werewolf. In the wake of Sirius' death, Harry finds solace in two things: Hermione and his friends. With Voldemort's war begun, Harry fights to save his friends from an insane professor, and Hermione from his own darkness. Chapters 1 and 2 are tame in comparison to what I'm going to do in Chapter 3.
