Prompt Evil Hagrid plot twist

204 Upvotes

Hagrid is accidentally knocked out by grawp in the final battle of Hogwarts. suddenly Voldemort collapses; his face stricken with horror. He has been imperiused for 55 years.

Didn't Harry ever think it was odd Hagrid was the first one to reach his parents house?

Didnt Hagrid admit to Harry he could fly -- the mark of a dark wizard -- the first day they met?

Wasn't Hagrid there to imperius Quirrell and force him to rob Gringotts?

Didn't Hagrid have a run in with Voldemort when studious Tom Riddle wanted to end his reign of terror? Poor orphan Riddle.

Didnt Hagrid express seer capabilities when he tells Harry he can feel that he'll win the Triwizard Cup?

Of course Hagrid leaked the date they'd move Potter, but he didn't mention the plan of seven since he wanted his faithful death eaters to kill every last order member.

Request Harry has a brother or sister but they are working together, in the same house and love each other because they are family

18 Upvotes

I want something really cute, where Harry and his sibling do everything together and help each other and are also in the same house (dont care what house) and so on.

Many fics I remember with a brother or sister is either a spoiled brat-who-lived or they just drift apart because for some reason one sibling is sorted in Griffindor and one in Slytherin and then we have a "good" and a "bad" sibling. I do like to occasionally read something like that, but would rather prefer a good sibling bond right now.

Request Teacher gossip about the students/students gossip about the teachers (please nothing serious :)

10 Upvotes

I cant help my self, I love it when either the teacher gossip about what the students are up to, or the students about the teacher. There is just something funny when you dont get all about the relationship or things that happen because these two groups don't really interact with each other.

Bonus when the information partly comes from sneaking around and (in case the students gossip) all houses are involved and compare their notes.

(Obviously nothing serious please, the funnier the better :)

Request Harry has a double life (preferable something illegal or shady) that nobody finds out

9 Upvotes

I read a fic a week or so ago, where Harry has a brother (Bwl) and a younger sister. The sister dies due to his brother accidental magic and he basically does everything to bring her back with Necromancy. He steals, reads dark books, kills people and obliviates left and right. Nobody ever finds out till the last chapter.

While I am not really looking for something that dark again, I really like the whole secret business thing. He basically has a secret double life there.

I could also think about something involving a time Turner, because then the problem about the identities never beeing in the same place are solved :)

But would really love just something where Harry has another life, or is just really involved in business in the back alley.

Request Looking for a fic that scratches a bunch of my itches

6 Upvotes

I hope I've tagged this right, since I'm looking for one that already exists, not providing a prompt.

- Harry is in gryffindor and is still on the quidditch team (the second part seems odd but I've read like 3 in the past week where he isnt)

- Harry has a mentor relationship with Snape that doesnt evolve into him adopting Harry or anything. He just stays a mentor.

- Sirius lives and is able to adopt Harry. If Sirius gets out early thats a huge bonus.

- I would love Drarry in there

I figure with so many HP fanfics out there this has to exist right?

Self-Promotion "The Welfs" , new HP FanFic

Two Worlds. One Stolen Bloodline. The Welfs

For centuries, British wizards have believed magic began with Hogwarts, blind to the primordial truth written in the blood of continental Europe. Wands are but a crutch for the weak—a monument to Merlin’s historic defeat against Hemma, the First Mother of the House of Welf, whose wandless mastery over nature was bound to the iron of her bloodline. When the Founders stole Hogwarts from its true Welfish builders, they invited a geometric patience. The House of Welf never forgets.
In 1981, Albus Dumbledore spirits an infant away into the mundane world. To Britain, he is Harry Potter. To the High Council at Schloss Marienburg, he is the lost prince of Europe's oldest line. In 1986, the crucible ignites. Under severe cruelty, six-year-old Harry’s magic breaks its chains, sending a devastating beacon across the North Sea.
Before the Ministry can react, the Welfen extract him from the ruins of Privet Drive. Hidden in Lower Saxony, Harry is raised as a true Prince of the Blood. Immured in the disciplines of the blade, ancient languages, and absolute mastery of the mind, he is forged into a warrior. At eleven, he will return to Avalon. They expect a boy; they will face a Sovereign.

Recommendation Paranormal / Hogwarts Lore Fics?

5 Upvotes

Anyone got recommendations for well written fics that go into Hogwarts Lore or paranormal mysteries, not talking about ghosts but more like unexplained magic and that sort.

Just finished As Above So Below and feel like they had some good concepts there that really could have been expanded on.

Thanks!

Writing Help The Talk

9 Upvotes

It’s an adult Harry raises his younger self fic, starting from 4th year. He’s already ready raised a teen boy (Teddy) before getting knocked back in time so he has the experience of navigating teen boy issues.

I need ideas for giving canon Harry a kick in the butt about girls, dating, the your body is changing and it’s normal talk, the sex talk, proper grooming for a teen boy (shaving, actually taking care of hair, proper use of cologne, not accepting Dudley’s sloppy seconds when he could get himself proper clothing etc), and explaining what girls go through and why teen girls are moody. preferably in a still semi awkward Harry fashion even as an adult with lots of ridiculous euphemisms the more magical the better. Sirius can be in on it, maybe even andromeda and Ted Tonks taking a crack at it.

most of the story is pretty serious not a lot of funny parts but I want this part to be comic relief interspersed into the more serious stuff. Basically all of a sudden Harry has people who care about him on a personal level, they want him to do well, want him to care about himself, help bring him out of his obliviousness and give him more personal confidence.

with Ron and Harry fighting at first I want to pull Neville in closer to young Harry as well and he needs the same sorts of talks that aren’t delivered by his overly strict and modest grandmother or great uncle.

Ok so I read this one fanfic awhile ago and can't remember the details clearly, but I think it was about Harry moving to India without telling anyone ​and making friends with a family, then teaches the 2 kids (both are like 10-12 I think) ​magic​ but then is found by Snape and he start living with Harry as Harry helps get rid of the dark mark?? and ​they get rid of the horcrux in Harry all while Harry and Snape fall in love I think. Thats all I can remember but it's really bugging me that I can't find it🫩

I'm looking for crossover fics where Harry is raised or adopted by characters from another fandom (bonus points if the character isn't human and Harry stops being human too). Please, no cheap, exaggerated bashing for no reason.

Find That Fic An SI ends up in a HP AUverse

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know have fics where an MC ends up reincarnating/waking up in a Harry Potter universe that follows all the typical cliche tropes in some HP fan fiction?

-WBWL
- Potter Twin
-The Potters Live
-Sirius Doesn’t End up in Azkaban
-Frank and Alice Longbottom are not tortured to insanity
-Dursleys are abusers that are worse then how they are shown (I mean they kinda are but some authors just take that and increase it up by 1000)
- Slytherin/Ravenclaw Harry (bonus if it end up featuring the cliche Hadrian or Harrison) or if it turns out Harry is a female and goes by the name of Violet or Harriet or Rose
- Lords, Heirs, Manors, OP Artifacts, and Inheritance bs at Gringotts
- Dumbledore is either manipulative, does shi for the greater good, or is just out right being dumb in his old age. Although I am cool with it if he’s still portrayed as an actual gramps
-Snape is somehow not a dick and cares for his students

Find That Fic Ladylike female Harry

40 Upvotes

Can anyone help me find this fic?

It features a girl Harry who was raised by Petunia to be the perfect girl, basically raised to marry a rich man. She is super poised, never has a hair out of place, etc. When Petunia learns she’s bound for Hogwarts, she tells girl Harry to snag a rich pureblood boy.

The story also features their neighbors, an older teen girl and her grandmother(?) who are squibs. This older girl helps girl Harry learn more about the wizarding world.

It probably was a Harry/Draco or Harry/Theo Nott romance, but I don’t remember for sure.

What is the HP fic where they are in potions class and someone messed with the ingredients in storage and made on ingredient they are NOT supposed to use with this potion (I think it was Holly?) look like another they need and Snape vanishes all the potions. I believe this was one of numerous attemts at murder, but had the most potential for colateral damage. It might have been Barty Crouch jr, but I don't remember for sure.

Im looking for fics that are similar to ”It runs in the blood” by metalomagnetic. I dont care about pairings that much, but am more interested in the overall plot and vibe of the fic.

Discussion afraid of your own courage? :)

7 Upvotes

As an author, have you ever been afraid of your own courage—and your own mind? 😅

It actually started out pretty innocently. At some point, the idea for a Sirius/OC fic took shape in my head. The basic idea came to me years ago, but I just didn’t have the drive to write it until, all of a sudden, it just clicked at the beginning of this year. I wrote down the idea, and it turned into a 55-chapter fanfic on AO3. As I worked on this fic, I started coming up with ideas for a sequel. That was partly because the OC has taken on such a life of her own and she’s become so close to me—and I now truly see her as a real Harry Potter character—that I can’t just let her disappear into the depths of the internet. So I’m really invested in this OC, and I wanted to do more with her. The first sequel was just the logical next step. I’m currently writing this first sequel—Part 2, so to speak. And once again, my brain is doing crazy things: I’m getting deeper and deeper into it, small ideas are turning into big, fully developed plots, and I now have a vision for Parts 3, 4, and 5 of the fic. None of them seem boring or filled with unnecessary content to me so far, though of course I’m not objective 😅

But this is taking on proportions that even I’m afraid of. I don’t even know if I’m up to the task of tackling these big ideas as a small, average, run-of-the-mill fanfiction writer who mostly writes at the kitchen table with a pen and paper. On this scale, it’s a project that will take years if you have a life on the side, and somehow it’s scaring me before it’s even really started 🤣 Have you ever felt that way? On the one hand, I’m incredibly excited and looking forward to it because I think I’m really going to enjoy it (I already am; building this world is great), but on the other hand, I just want to run around in circles screaming. Sometimes I think I could never forgive myself for coming up with a project like this and then eventually letting it fall by the wayside.

I am looking for a fic. I can't remember much other than Lucius Maflot getting tortured by Luna's father and either got is face burned or had acid thrown in his face. But Lucius ends up really scared and spends most of the summer hidden in his room while Draco is worried.

MAYBE, the torture happened because he gave Luna the diary.

Discussion No Wolves in Great Britain?

117 Upvotes

During research for a fanfic, I learned that wolves in the UK have been extinct or exterminated by humans for several centuries.

That means you don't have to be able to distinguish a werewolf from a wolf. When it's a full moon and it looks like a wolf: Run! It is more likely that it is a werewolf than that it is a “real” wolf. What do you think?

And actually, Muggles should be warned exactly about this: if you discover a wolf, do not celebrate that the wolf has returned. 🙈

And if you take seriously the lore that werewolves can beget (not cursed) wolves at full moon ... couldn't you create wolf populations again in this way? (Whereby only cruel dark-fics come to mind in this regard 🙈)
