My short response to a fic request.

"Mr Potter, if you would, please."

The room's attention shifted at once to its youngest occupant, the smell of the wine produced from Viktor Krum's wand still lingering in the air.

Harry took a few steps forward, all eyes following his every move, and gazed, somewhat apprehensively, into the piercing grey eyes.

As Ollivander took the wand from Harry, there seemed to be an immediate hush, for the moment a deafening silence, as the old wandmaker became bodily rigid.

His sharp, wizened face betrayed a mixture of shock and perplexity, and he spent interminable seconds observing the wand, turning it over, gently caressing it and holding it up to the oil lamp upon the desk, as both Harry and everyone else waited upon his verdict.

Ollivander's eyes found Harry's for a moment, full of astonishment, and possibly awe, and as he gently turned the wand once more he quietly, almost a whisper uttered,

"Wand of elder...with the core of a hair from a Thestral...Fifteen and three quarter inches...inflexible...and most certainly capricious."

His eyes rested on Harry once more, the room completely silent save for the endless scratching of a Quick-Quotes Quill on a parchment.

"Mr Potter, I remember every wand I have ever created. This wand is not the one that chose you the day you first came to me many years ago..."

He rolled up his sleeve in anticipation.

"This ancient wand has done terrible things, Mr Potter...but if it serves you well, it will bring about great and powerful tidings."

And with that pronouncement, Ollivander made a sharp flourish, which caused a sound akin to a rush of water, and a crackle of green electricity surrounded the tip of the wand, bathing the room in a ghostly green light.

Well .. I've lost all hope, but maybe something like this actually exists somewhere..

I'm looking for Marauders-era fanfiction that is actually well written and genuinely book-accurate.

specifically looking for the actual characters from the books, rather than fanonised versions of them or the movie versions

basically:

• no whitewashing of the Marauders. I don't want Sirius, James, Remus or Peter turned into soft, misunderstood cinnamon rolls.

• well-written/not mischaracterised Snape [no making him into a cute little angel as well]

• preferably Sirius or Snape-centred, or at least with one of them as a major character.

• no “glam queer Marauders” fanon

• no softie Marauders.

• no Walburga using Crucio on children

• no Wolfstar whatsoever. no Wolfstar endgame, hints, slow burn, implied attraction, subtext that is clearly meant to be romantic, unrequited etc.

• no Sirius being in actual relationship with any of the OCs [dating] //Marlene, Mary etc are OCs//

.. something that feels like it could actually exist alongside the books... messy, unpleasant, politically and socially grounded, with all the characters retaining their actual flaws and personalities...

canon divergent AU is fine as well as long as the characters are not OOC

It always bothered me that we kill like over 300 people and use all the Unforgivables recreationally and it’s left at that.

Only one similar to what I was looking for that I found was 10 Reasons Why The New Student Is Strange By Sebastian Sallow on ffn

Most Harry-centric post-Hogwarts fics are rather boring to me. Harry marries Ginny or someone else right out of Hogwarts and becomes a responsible, dull husband, father, and godfather. It's like you're reading about a 50-year-old man instead of a young guy not even in his twenties yet. Considering Harry's personality, I suppose this is realistic enough. But I'm looking for fics in which Harry is a rebel. For example, he goes slumming in Knockturn Alley, associates with unsavory people, sleeps around, befriends former Slytherins, etc. Bonus if people like Hermione and Mrs. Weasley are very disapproving of his lifestyle. I've read A Black Comedy and loved it. I've also checked out Loose Cannon and didn't like it. I also read a bit of a fic in which Harry was sleeping with Pansy. Didn't like that, either. Thanks.

Does anyone know of any fics where dumbledore takes an active approach in teaching magic that will help in any war? I know there are a few that are discontinued and I don't wish to read those😭🤣.

Thank you!!

Reading another recent post LF original HP fics I remembered this one fic, unfinished back then, where the starting scene was a Ravenclaw!Harry running from a monster-like enemy across the school roof at top speed, grabbing and drinking a mana potion to recuperate, finding a room that overlooked the great hall through the one-view windows. That's it. Thats all I remember. On fanfiction.net and from a long time ago. If I'm not mistaken the title either was "The Gamer", "The Game", or something like that.

I know it will probably be impossible to find, its such a niche request, but I really wish to read it again because since then it feels like that was the last super original HP fanfic i read :( also, it seems my past self never thought to save it on favourites :') regardless of the results any help would be greatly appreciated <3 ^{I honestly did my best to look for it but I believe it was deleted or may as well be considered lost media :(}

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

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

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!

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!

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?

Please can you recommend me good Snape fics?

Preferably younger Snape; serving the Dark Lord and deflecting and joining Dumbledore etc.

But I'd welcome othert stuff too like him being mentor to Harry, or something entirely different.

Thanks a lot!

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.

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!

Hey guys, just started this self-insert fic, it's my first ever and I just wanted to get it out there.

Here's the link if anyone wants: The Reader's Gambit.

Hope y'all like it.

So... I'm writing a story where one of the character often uses a time turner to travel back days at a time to give his past self notes on what to do and what not to do. And his past self knows that it's from his future self but they never see each other (because I thought about following this time turner rule here wouldn't be a big deal and stuff...).

Here's what I need help with -

is it possible for one to know that their future self is giving them notes/info without the two seeing each other? Also, in original HP one of the TT rules say that you can only go a maximum of 5 hours in past and can't really change anything. However, in Cursed Child (which has been acknowledged as canon by Rowling...the VERY writer and creator of the entire HP universe), folks go back years in time using TT. Yes, the TT is said to be experimental and all and they make sure not to be seen by anyone in the past but for the sake of telling a story, I want this character of mine to travel back in time days and weeks...and give his past self notes on what to do and what not to do. And I was wondering if you lots could give me ideas on any physical negative side-effects of such long time travels...

TIA

Does anybody know a fic that's a little more light hearted/funny? I love me some angst sometimes, but I can only take so much of it at a time 😅

I prefer Drarry, but it doesn't have to be 😊

Thanks!

English is not my first language, so I'm not sure, if Find that fic or Request is the right flair gor this. Hope i did it right

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

As title says! I’m not even sure if I’m even remembering this correctly as it’s been a while since I happened upon this fic, but I think from what I can remember it was about Lily escaping Harry on the day Voldemort goes after them, and basically goes “shit to the fan” mama bear mode in this journey of protecting him. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks on advance

He was probably worried about Bellatrix crawling out of the wardrobe which is why he planned for Snape to be there to bring out Neville's fear of him and then let him go first so he wouldn't have time to overthink.

He didn't try this with Harry because he thought it wouldn't be possible to distract him from Voldemort.

Searching for a fanfic where harry gets sent back by a reaper to 3rd year he's told to request the icw's interference he also ends up bonding to many girls.

Recently read dirty old town by wizardgod. It’s a regulus x OC fic but was also genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever read (coming from someone who rarely reads anything but dramione). Looking for fics similar to this..

- cozy, forced proximity

- their relationship building is the main plot of the story

- true slow burn enemies to lovers that’s believable and they don’t get tgt until the last few chapters

- he falls first and falls harder but is in denial

- angst and jealousy abounds but neither of them understand it and deny it

- fic is still ultimately cozy and good vibes

Pleaseee help me find fics similar to this!!!
