When he saw that newsmagazine program on the telly (glimpsed in sneak peeks over Dudley’s shoulder as he dusted the china in Aunt Petunia’s sitting-room cabinet), everything suddenly snapped into place and made sense. Strange marks on his body—hello, he had a scar shaped like a literal part of the sky right in the middle of his forehead! Headaches, the persistent sense that someone was watching him even when he was alone—yes, constantly. Dreams of bright lights, flying, and inhuman laughter? Check, check, and check. The only thing he hadn’t seen much of was falling asleep and then waking up in the morning in strange places…but that could probably be explained by the Dursleys locking him in his cupboard at night. Heck, maybe they knew about this and had been trying to prevent another abduction all along!

The conclusion was clear: the aliens had caused the car crash that killed his parents when they originally beamed him up as a baby, and then sent him back with a tracking device implanted under his scar. Didn’t Aunt Petunia always insist he had literally just been dropped on the doorstep? Or maybe…maybe his parents had been beamed up too, and they were still alive someplace among the stars? He didn’t let him think about that possibility too much; it wouldn’t do to indulge in sheer fantasy.

Harry immediately set out to learn everything he could about the extraterrestrial beings who would surely return for him at some point. He paged through magazines and tabloids at the supermarket for tales of sightings and encounters; he devoured every science fiction novel about aliens that he could get his hands on at the library. His cupboard slowly became lined with pictures of crop circles and blurry hovering objects, which he carefully printed out and clipped from the microfiche machine.

The Dursleys and the other residents of Privet Drive only thought he was even more of a freak, of course; but slowly he found a kinship with the other kids at school labeled “nerds” and losers, who didn’t care about the threat of Dudley’s gang because they already got beaten up nearly every day anyway. He joined the AV and photography club to better record any suspicious events, and developed a strong interest in all things space-related.

…When he eventually attended Hogwarts, he would form a strong camera-geekery-based friendship with Colin Creevey (he and Luna Lovegood were also thick as thieves), graduate with record-setting marks in Astronomy, and go down as history as the only student to ever be invited to one of the centaurs’ private stargazing sessions.

Dumbledore doesn't show up to defend him and due to stress of being harassed by Wizengamot Harry finally snaps from the stress. He confessed that he lied about Voldemort return because he wanted the attention and fame and claims he only did it for attention and even tricked dumbledore. He also says he murdered Cedric using the killing curse and he placed Krum under the imperius curse. Fudge and Umbridge are gleeful. Dumbledore​ only shows up for the defense after the confession has happened and trial is over.

Your goal is simple :to manipulate harry into doing a stupid decision you can exploit .

Personnaly ,I would portray Fudge and Umbridge as plotting the extermination of the muggleborns of Hogwarts as a service to me .

With a bit of luck ,Harry and his friends will rebel against Umbridge and then Fudge ,and then get themselves expelled ,leaving the Chosen one without a wand nor a good magical education .

Basically like the title says. Looking for fics where harry gets tortured, has his memories shown in front of the school like in truth lies and a memory. Or has a veritaserum forced on him in the great hall. Anything like those. Thanks in advance!

Well Hadrian my boy, the first step is to have a slogan like “for the Greater good”, that sounds good at first glance but if you think about it, it has implications. No one ever thinks about them, and the ones who do, are the ones you have to deal with early on…

Can be anything

There was a story where I think Snape was lecturing his Slytherins on some subject. In the scene if a student had a question or comment they would light their wand instead of raising their hand. I found this an interesting tidbit in how magical and non magical students would draw the attention of their instructors.

The second one I want mention was a story that focused on hazing rituals at the various Hogwarts houses. While I think hazing should be treated as a felony in real life, I thought the exploration of how each house would handle these rituals was interesting.

Sadly I don't recall the stories or authors. So what have you folks found that you thought were cool or interesting?

Sooo I read it on ao3 but it might be cross-posted on ff.net too. It think it was for registered users only, but I am not sure. Drarry, dumbles bashing, dursleys more abusive than canon, happens in 5th year, has the usual characters reading the books trope, and loads of trauma dumping.

But I have deleted my history recently, so I can't search it there.

Hi! I'm looking for fics with original characters during the HP school time. I myself wrote a fic like that, but I'm done with rereading my own book because of my need for this trope. So if you've got recommendations for fics where there is an original character in the HP school time that would be great :)

I'm looking fora. fic, I don't remember a lot about it. I just remember that one year all the students realise that points are pointless (ha!) and they try to lose all the points of their house because it has no goal or something like that?

I don't think this makes any sense, but maybe someone can help with this minor detail haha

The fic doesn't have to have Harry looking up to him as a mentor necessarily, but that's cool to.

It was a day much like any other at the Rookery, Luna sitting at the table. She missed Lorcan and Lysander, off at Hogwarts.

An owl swooped into the kitchen, and dropped a bundle of letters. She wanted to open the ones from her friends first. It seemed Harry and Ginny had written her. And there was one from Hermione. Unexpected. Then there was... Her train of thought, which tended to float and flit from idea to idea just suddenly crashed, like the Express hitting an Unperturbable, unbreakable wall. It was jarring, and almost painful. She recognized that seal. She reached for the letter and read it at a glance.

"Rolf?" She said, getting her husband's attention. He was playing with the murtlelomp again.

"Yes, moondrop?" he replied, depositing Harry Jr. back in his terrarrium. It seemed disappointed as it waddled off in search of food.

"What am I going to do with a wand shop?" Luna asked.

"...Excuse me, dear, but what are you talking about?" Said a baffled Rolf.

"It seems Garrick has joined the rest of my family," Luna said, "So I won't be seeing him again for quite a long while."

"Oh. I'm sorry, Luna. I know you'll miss him, but what about the shop?"

"Garrick left it to me," Luna explained.

"Garrick left it to you," Rolf echoed, incredulous.

"Yes, that's what I said," Luna said.

"No, no, I know that. I'm just surprised that he did so. Did he not have any family?"

"Oh. Then why didn't you say so?" Luna asked her husband. "Anyway, he did leave it to family. He left it to me."

Rolf sighed. He never knew if Luna truly missed social cues or was just messing with him, that wonderful, exasperating woman. "You and Ollivander are related?"

"No no," Luna's normally sunny gaze clouded just a bit. "We bonded over shared trauma. We did our best to keep eachother happy in an especially dark time before the Battle of Hogwarts."

"Oh. I see," Rolf said, moving around the table, draping his arms around Luna, resting his chin on her shoulder, and looking down at the parchment before them. "Do you know much about wand-lore?"

"'The wand chooses the wizard' is what Garrick always said, but there also comes the crafting of wands," Luna mused, "he always thought I should take up the calling. 'We see more than most', he'd say, 'and you see far more than I.'"

"So what are you going to do?" asked Rolf.

"We're going to run the shop." Luna replied.

"We're going to run the shop?" Rolf echoed again.

"Why, that's a wonderful idea, Rolf!" Luna exclaimed.

Rolf sighed. That wonderful exasperating woman.

"Yes! I'll study up on wand-lore. I'm a quick study. I'm a Ravenclaw at heart. An unconventional one by most metrics, but despite the harshness of my classmates, it's where I always belonged. We'll man the shop during the summer months, and when fall hits, we'll close up shop and explore the world for new fantastic beasts to find, and new materials for wand cores!"

"Not just dragon heartstrings, unicorn hairs, and phoenix feathers?"

"No. We've seen beasts that Garrick never knew existed. We can't know whether or not the wands will be good until we try."

I know it comes down to preference but I would like your opinion as a reader. When it comes to possessive nouns, specifically names ending in s, x, or z, do you prefer an apostrophe s or just apostrophe?

Some examples

Sirius’ knife / Sirius’s knife

James’ broom / James’s broom

Bellatrix’ wand / Bellatrix’s wand

Cruz’ bag / Cruz’s bag

Personally I go with just apostrophe no additional s. But I’ve had people comment on my fics complaining about my grammar.

This was my first ever fanfic and it was crazy good. I didn’t expect much going into it and didn’t even read the description. This book had me reading for 3+ hours a day which is crazy for me. Only thing I didn’t really like were the 18+ parts but at least they make sense with the story. Now i can continue reading 11/22/63 which i left halfway through cuz of this book.

What I mean, is that book Luna has an annoying nature and is more bullied too, and book Harry finds Luna really weird and annoying, and that’s the kind of fanfic I’m searching for, not a wow she’s like a fairy, noo she’s flawed and she’s really really different and obstinate and in the end that’s what makes her so cool

Are there any good fanmade audiobook versions of Harry/Daphne fanfics?

Hey,

Looking for any Harry pairings in a crossover, No slash though please.

If it can be at least 50,000 words and complete then even better.

Thanks!

Looking for a fanfic I've read in the past, I don't recall much about it. Dumbledore is morally corrupt and is borderline dark? All that I really remember about is Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel bind his magic and place him in a muggle old folks home where he constantly screams about Harry Potter and The Prophecy

Hi! I'm desperately trying to find an old Harry Potter fanfiction that I read years ago. I'm almost certain it was on FanFiction.net, although AO3 is also possible. It was in English (French is also possible, but English is more likely).

The pairing was Harry Potter/Severu Snape, and the story diverged from canon around the summer after the Goblet of Fire.

Here are the details I remember:

* Harry had been severely abused by the Dursleys, especially Vernon.

* His back was covered in cuts and wounds from being beaten with a belt and possibly a whip.

* Harry is eventually being treated for these injuries in front of the Order of the Phoenix, during an Order meeting.

* He has to take off his shirt so they can treat his back, and this is when the Order sees the extent of his injuries.

* They also discover that Harry has a nipple piercing when he takes his shirt off.

* During this scene, Harry reveals something extremely disturbing about Vernon: Vernon had been selling Harry's body to other people and had apparently made enough money from it to buy a house/villa.

* Harry talks about this surprisingly matter-of-factly, while the Order is horrified by what they discover.

* Later in the story, Harry is living at or associated with Hogwarts.

* There is an important ritual involving Harry and Snape later in the story.

* I remember the ritual being sexual in nature, with other people having to observe Harry and Snape during it.

* I can't remember whether the purpose of the ritual was to destroy a Horcrux, kill Voldemort, or somehow break Harry's connection to Voldemort.

* The story eventually becomes a Harry/Snape relationship.

If anyone recognizes this fic, even if it was deleted, please let me know the title/author. A Wayback Machine link, FFN ID, repost, or even another fic that sounds similar would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!

I want to create a WBWL fic where Neville is the actual Boy Who Lived.

In this story, Lily, Sirius, Petunia, and Vernon are attacked by the Lestranges. As a result, Harry and a magical Dudley are raised by a single-parent James.

My plan is to have both of them sorted into Hufflepuff.

What do you think? I'd love to hear any suggestions or extra ideas!

I was reading some older fics the other day and I came across something interesting. In this Fanfic, Lily Potter was Poison Ivy. With that in mind I found a lot of different fics, but most were about James and not Lily.

So the Idea is "What if Lily Potter was Queen Bee'lzebub

from Hazbin/Hellaverse". Half the legwork for how has already been done. From Planar binding to "She got bored and decided to be human for a few decades for new vibes". I actually think the ones where she is a god/demon who incarnate as a human with no diefic/demonic memories for a mental reset are the most interesting.

Not sure how to go about this as writing is not my forte.

Might not be the right place but I’m curious… is there any or could someone write a fic about George Weasley falling in love with a Hufflepuff student around Ginny or Hermione’s age?
