Added DiffLines:
* PerversePuppet: Sirius's father, Mercurius Black, was a powerful Aniamtor given to experimentation. He created many horrifying automatons while alive and set them around Black Manor to spy on his kids. Although these contraptions didn't have minds of their own, they were programmed by Mercurius to attack people (including his own sons).
Added DiffLines:
* TookALevelInJerkass: Harry is much less friendly and compassionate in Two Households. He's very prickly and sarcastic, as well as self-serving and reserved. For much of the series, Ron is his only friend. Harry tends to snap at people, alienating them and preventing them from getting closer.

* AnimateDead: Although it's possible to Animate corpses, it is considered a Dark Art and is thus taboo.
* AscendedExtra: Sirius and Remus are major viewpoint characters in this series, as is Ron. Blaise Zabini and Millicent Bulstrode also have more relevance as Harry's sort-of-friends and Housemates.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Remus is usually the calm, sensible one that reins in his more hot-tempered partner, Sirius. However, he has limits and can get pretty scary when sufficiently angered (or if it's close to the full moon).
* BloodMagic: This type of magic is generally frowned upon, but is frequently used to secure powerful wards. Grimmauld Place and the Black Manor both have extremely powerful wards protecting them that are anchored with blood.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: While Harry ''does'' possess a sense of morality, it frequently puzzles other people. He views friendship as a constant trade of favours. The thought that people might want to help him just because they like him puzzles him. He's also perfectly willing to employ underhanded methods to get what he wants, but will never make excuses if caught.

Two Households is a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' ForWantOfANail fanfiction series written by mad_martha. It can found [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/8496 here.]] This series differs from the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' canon in two ways. Firstly, Harry is Sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. Secondly, Peter Pettigrew is captured by Sirius when the latter breaks into the Gryffindor dormitories. As such, Wormtail does not escape and Sirius is eventually exonerated.
Two Households is quite long, containing 14 individual fanfics and a map of the Black manor. The series as a whole is very detailed, including details on Wizarding politics and introducing new magical disciplines.
!Tropes found in this series include:
* AbusiveParents: While the Dursleys were explicitly neglectful and emotionally abusive in canon, they aren't stated to have physically abused Harry. Not so much for Two Households, where Harry mentions that Vernon beat him as a child.
** Sirius's parents were both abusive towards their children. Sirius's father used his unique Animation abilities to create terrifying automatons to monitor and threaten his children. His wife wasn't much better.
** It's implied that Lucius Malfoy is not a good father to Draco.
* ForWantOfANail: Harry shook Draco Malfoy's hand on the Hogwarts Express, causing Ron to storm off in a huff. Because of this, Harry was disinclined to share a House with Ron, resulting in the Sorting Hat placing him in Slytherin.
** Also, Peter Pettigrew was captured and tried by the Ministry of Magic. This allowed Sirius to be exonerated and return to his life with Remus Lupin. He later adopts Harry, taking custody of his godson from the Dursleys.
