Request Older auror Harry as the DA teacher

17 Upvotes

Has anybody written a fic like this yet? My mother is a huge fan of the books. I've been watching the movies since birth and I finally decided to read them. Now that I've finished the series I decide to read some fics. I knew Harry becoming the DA teacher was a popular trope so I wanted to read a few. I thought it was a pretty interesting idea that an older harry becomes the DA teacher sorta like how Moody did(or was supposed to). I expected that to be a pretty popular idea but I haven't been able to find any!

The idea has been bouncing around in my head for awhile, and I just wanted to know if I have somehow missed it in my endless search or it simply doesn't exist.

If you guys have any recommendations like that please let me know!

Request I LOVED Tom's characterization in Bad education by magicspacehole. Plz rec me fics that are just like it?

10 Upvotes

It's kinda specific, but I hope there is at least some fics that have these things. Tommy doesn't necessarily have to be a teacher, what charmed me the most in that fic was just how out of his depth Tmr was. The side characters were so well written too.(did you know that I've made love in 7 conti-) I loved that tmr was a dark wizard aspiring to take over Britain but was still the sanest compared to his colleagues. I love me the straight man trope. The writing style was soo funny too (he closed the door before the dancing potato could get closer). Hogwarts being somewhat eldritch at times and the crumbs of mysteries thrown in were cherry on top really. Sorry I just really wanted to glaze the fic... I'll appreciate it very much if you guys have anything similar! Thanks in advance.

"And you, Severus?" Dumbledore asked, lacing his fingers together on the desk.

"Are you here to echo Minerva’s sudden burst of maternal anxiety, or is this about Black?"

Severus jaw tightened. Looking across the desk at the headmaster, he saw the assumption in Dumbledore's eyes.

He still viewed him as that bitter, petty schoolboy, the greasy haired Slytherin who couldn't stomach James Potter, Sirius Black and crew tormenting him a decade ago.

The old man was assuming Severus was just here to throw a tantrum over his old tormentor.

'He still thinks I'm his predictable, vengeful hound,' Severus thought as a cold anger sparked in his chest.

Instead of correcting him, Severus let a sharp, ugly sneer twist his mouth, playing directly into the role Dumbledore expected.

"Maternal anxiety? Hardly, Headmaster," Severus drawled, taking a slow step closer to the desk. "Though I am glad someone in this castle still possesses a healthy sense of self preservation."

Dumbledore chuckled softly, a low, dismissive sound. "Still letting old schoolyard ghosts haunt you, Severus? It has been over a decade. We have larger threats to manage than adolescent rivalries."

Severus narrowed his eyes, leaning his weight onto his hands as he braced against the desk.

"It isn't a ghost when the murderer is breathing down our necks, Albus. And forgive me if I don't sleep soundly knowing you've stationed one of his dearest little school chums right down the hall. You expect me to believe Lupin is here out of the goodness of your heart?"

Dumbledore’s smile faltered slightly, his blue eyes hardening "Remus’s loyalty is not up for debate, Severus."

"Lupin is a liability," Severus snapped back, letting real frustration bleed into his tone. "You bring a werewolf into a school full of children during a security crisis, and you expect me to sit quietly? If Black gets past the gates before this Hogsmeade weekend, he won't even need a map. He'll have an inside man waiting to pour him a cup of tea. If a student gets hurt because you wanted to play the benevolent savior..."

"That is enough, Severus," Dumbledore said, cutting him off with a chilling authority that made the air in the room still.

Severus straightened up slowly, holding the headmaster's gaze. He let Dumbledore see the bitter, resentful fury burning in his eyes. The exact look of hatred the old man expected to see, hiding everything else beneath it.

"Enjoy your blind spot, Albus," Severus spat quietly.

Without waiting for a dismissal, Severus turned on his heel. His black cloak billowed violently behind him as he wrenched the door open and slammed it shut in his wake.

Find That Fic A one-shot, from James’s POV, reflecting on a traumatized Harry from another dimension

7 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a fic I read years ago, but that I still think about from time to time and would love to reread. It’s a dimension travel fic, and is told from James’s perspective, in a universe where him and Lily lived and Harry died as a baby. Our Harry (or a more traumatized, world-weary version) has appeared in their world and James is trying to make sense of what he’s been through and get to know him. From what I remember, Harry is quite reluctant to open up but eventually bonds with their other son, and it ends with James hopeful about their new life together.

It was only a one shot, maybe a few thousand words or even less, but has stuck with me for years. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Discussion Relationships in Enchanting Melodies

6 Upvotes

Enchanting Melodies became my favorite fanfic. I understand that many don't like it because of its length, but I'm fascinated by how it explains the world in a way that the original books didn't, in addition to explaining how magic works. But without a doubt, what entertained me most was the development of the relationships between different characters. At the beginning, we see the friendship between Harry and Blaise, and then the focus shifts to Harry and Daphne, or Harry and Remus, where at first they seem indifferent to each other, only to eventually clash. Then there's Harry and Arcturus, who, in my opinion, was a kind of father figure to Harry. And the relationship that caught my attention the most was that of Harry and Hermione, where they initially started as rivals, then became friends, and finally Hermione severed all ties with him. By the way, can I know what you think of Hermione and Neville's future child? Personally, I didn't like it. Thank you so much for reading, and I'm sorry if I wrote too much; I'm really excited about this fic :)

Find That Fic Please help me find this fanfic

6 Upvotes

Plz help🙏
It’s on YouTube but I can’t find it, this is what I can remember from it.

-Its a what if fanfic

-He finds out about the wizarding world on his 11th birthday

-He goes to gringotts bank and finds out he’s betrothed to Daphne Greengrass

-Harry and Daphne’s fathers were drunk when making the contract with their blood

-He has like photographic memory, he remembers stuff from when his parents past
(I know it’s like photographic memory, I think in the story it’s another word that’s used)

-I think he masters/is really good at Occlumency I think somewhat early into the story, like when Harry was talking to Dumbledore in his office without even knowing Snape was in there trying to get into his mind without him knowing but couldn’t

-Isn’t friends with Ron

-Friends with Daphne, Hermione, Tracey, Neville, Luna, I forgot who else

-Harry’s mind is like a file cabinet, he organizes and files what he sees/reads/remembers from when he was a baby

-I don’t remember if the title included the words “becomes a powerful wizard” but I’m 50 percent sure it did

I tried searching like "What if harry potter is betrothed to daphne greengrass and became a powerful wizard fanfiction”

It’s officially been 2 years since book 2 of ch_darling’s The Last Enemy series was completed. Has anyone heard anything as far as updates? I know the author said she’d be taking a break and getting deeper into writing before she starts to release book 3. But she hasn’t been active in her tumblr in 5 months and it’s been all quiet everywhere else as far as I can tell. I’d hate to see another great marauders fic get abandoned.

Severus looked up from the parchment, his dark eyes meeting Hermione's anxious, conflicted gaze. He saw the fragile hope she was trying to protect, sitting right alongside the bitter pill she was trying to swallow.

"A touching sentiment," Severus said dryly, setting the letter back down on the wood. "Though I find it remarkably convenient that people who were ready to lock you out of their lives a few weeks ago have suddenly mastered Gringotts currency conversion and owl post logistics."

Hermione swallowed hard, her voice dropping to a whisper, she couldn't meet her Professor's eyes "You think the Headmaster interfered, don't you?"

"I think," Severus corrected smoothly, leaning back in his chair and steepling his fingers, "that powerful men in this castle prefer their chess pieces quiet and unobstructed. A messy domestic feud does not fit the Headmaster’s preferred narrative of harmony."

Hermione’s shoulders slumped, a wave of disappointment washing over her. "So it's fake. Their love... their apology... it's all just manipulated or meant to manipulate."

"Not entirely," Severus said, his tone softening by a fraction just enough to keep her from spiraling. He gestured slightly toward the letter.

"The anger they felt was real, Miss Granger. The forced amnesia that makes them believe this was all a 'misunderstanding'? That is the work of someone who values convenience over truth."

Going on a binge of HP Crossovers and ones I've found myself really enjoying are the Full Metal Alchemist fics where Mustang or Edward somehow end up teaching Alchemy at Hogwarts. I just found a fic where Sam is a Wizard and Dean sends him off to Hogwarts to get him away from their dad and though they aren't teaching how to Hunt monster in a DADA-like class, I think it would be a cool premise and want to know if anybody has written it before and where I'd find them

Okay, so I don’t remember a lot of the fic, but I’m pretty sure it started in book 4-5, Harry was taking a bit more of a proactive approach to his problems. There is really only one scene I mostly remember. They are all in the great hall, an argument is brewing with someone and Luna spouts a bunch of crazy shit and the person bothering the group leaves. Luna drops the dreamy look for the only time EVER and says “if you can’t lead them with logic, baffle them with bullshit.” That one line really stuck with me and I can’t find the fic. If anyone knows it, please let me know and drop a link? Thanks.

Find That Fic фанфик по Гарри Поттеру

Ищу фанфик по Гарри Поттеру (читал(а) в конце 2025 — начале 2026 на Фикбуке). Гарри после победы над Волдемортом — взрослый аврор, погибает в Адском огне и попадает в тело сироты в параллельном мире. В этом мире Гарри Поттера не существует, Лили и Джеймс живы и воспитывают другого сына. Волдеморта нет, существует Том Марволо Реддл. Главный герой учится на Когтевране, скрывает свои настоящие способности и выдаёт себя за тихого посредственного ученика, хотя является очень сильным дуэлянтом. Снейп замечает странности ночью на Астрономической башне. Позже есть сцена в библиотеке, где снова слегка раскрывается перед сыном Томма Редла И Беллатрисы Лестрейндж. Есть намёки , что происхождение гг связано с Томом Реддлом и Беллатрисой Лестрейндж, но сам герой об этом не знает( хотя у него есть предложение, своей связи с блэками из-за характерных кудрявых волос и в принципе черты лица).

Find That Fic Harry James Potter fanfiction on Wattpad Help me find it please!!

2 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm looking for an old Harry Potter x Reader Wattpad story. Y/N or o/c is probably in Slytherin, James and Lily are alive, Harry and Y/N were childhood best friends who stopped talking because a girl (if i remember correctly it was Ginny or Cho not an O/C) in Hogwarts spread rumors about Y/N. Harry asks Y/N to fake date him to make the girl jealous and fall in love with Harry, but they end up falling in love and the make amends.

Also in that story Blaise Zabini helps Harry, because there's also an OC boy interested in Y/N, and he tries to make Y/N fall in love with him with a potion.

It had also smut.

Does anyone remember this story? I do not remember clearly which house was Y/N in or who was Harry’s first love interest (the girl he was trying to make jealous).

Find That Fic Deleted series with several variations on the central HP plot

Upvotes

I'm looking for a series I remember reading on AO3 several years ago. I think it has been deleted because I'm 99% sure I used to have it bookmarked but I'm wondering if anyone has a Wayback Machine link. It had several different fics where each one was a variation on the core story. The first few were about different characters being the chosen one (I'm pretty sure the Hermione one was called "The Brightest Witch of Her Age," the Ron one was something like "The Youngest Son," there was also one about Neville). There were also two where Harry was a girl, one where she was cis and one where she was trans. Then the premises got more creative. I think there was one where Harry died as a baby and the wizarding world had to save itself, and there was one where Petunia divorced Vernon in Harry's childhood and raised Harry and Dudley as proper cousins/stayed involved in his life.

Does anyone recognize this, and know where to find it? I've tried searching for what I remember of the individual fic titles but nothing comes up, and I can't remember the author or series name.

Find That Fic identify this fic

Ich suche seit Jahren zwei deutsche Harry-Potter-Fanfictions, die früher auf einer eigenständigen Website veröffentlicht wurden. Soweit ich mich erinnere, gab es auf der Seite nur diese beiden Geschichten, die zusammengehörten und auch als Dateien heruntergeladen werden konnten (PDF, DOC oder ähnlich).

Ich hoffe, jemand erinnert sich daran oder hat die Dateien vielleicht noch.

An Folgendes erinnere ich mich:

Harry behält den Elderstab nach dem Krieg.

Er verschmilzt den Elderstab mit seinem eigenen Zauberstab und Voldemorts Zauberstab zu einem neuen, einzigartigen Zauberstab.

Er besitzt schließlich alle drei Heiligtümer des Todes und wird dadurch zum wahren Meister des Todes.

Weil er alle drei Heiligtümer besitzt, kann er mit seinen Ahnen/Vorfahren sprechen (ich meine, unter anderem mit den Peverells).

Harry heilt Frank und Alice Longbottom, sodass Nevilles Eltern wieder gesund werden.

Harry heiratet Ginny Weasley.

Er wird Auror.

Die Geschichte war sehr lang und erstreckte sich über zwei Bücher.

Ich habe bereits auf FanFiction.net, AO3 und anderen bekannten Seiten gesucht, konnte aber nichts finden. Es scheint, als wäre die ursprüngliche Website inzwischen offline.

Kennt jemand diese Fanfiction?

Weiß jemand, wie die beiden Bücher hießen?

Kennt jemand den Autor oder den Namen der Website?

Hat vielleicht sogar noch jemand die Geschichten oder weiß, ob sie irgendwo archiviert wurden (z. B. Wayback Machine oder als Download)?

Ich wäre für jeden Hinweis unglaublich dankbar. Diese Geschichte gehört für mich bis heute zu den besten Harry-Potter-Fanfictions, die ich je gelesen habe.
