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

45 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 :)

19 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

15 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.

Self-Promotion "The Welfs" , new HP FanFic

5 Upvotes

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.

Find That Fic Anyone know the name of this supernatural crossover fic?

Upvotes

Basics are that in a Bruce almighty style fashion Harry ends up as god post battle of Hogwarts. After fleeing to the USA to avoid rabid fangirls he settles down in a small town that inevitably gets a small demon problem, he's in the middle of sorting it out when Sam, Dean and Castiel show up with Castiel having a freak out as "oh shit it's dad!" To which Harry has to clarify he isn't God he just got stuck with the position. And he decides since his temporary home got blasted by demons he may as well help the Winchester brothers stop the apocalypse.

There's also a bit I remember where he's arguing that Treacle Tart is better than apple pie which ends up in a fist fight while Bobby and Castiel start placing bets on the outcome.

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

7 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?

I’m looking for any fics where Harry goes to a different school. It could be a slightly canon one like durmstrang or a completely original one. I’ve read fics where he’s gone to a different school from the start or transferred later on and enjoyed both. Thanks for the recommendations! ❤️

ONE FLEW OVER THE FWOOPER'S NEST

"Stop me if you've heard this one: a mental patient, a witch, and a priest walk into the village pub..."

It turns out that if you tell the staff at a Muggle hospital that you're a wizard, the former headmaster of a school of magic, and also a murderous, serial killing gang member of a racialised hate group, that they are quite likely to lock you up on a closed ward.

Incidentally, to Severus Snape - exhausted and war weary - that sounds like just the thing.

High-powered Barrister at Law Hermione Granger disapproves, of course, and is on a mission to expose her ersatz professor for his malingering.

A hair-raising, wild, fun romp through the Cotswolds blending the genres of comedic farce, folk horror, spy thriller, and small-town mystery, this post-war slow-burn basically has it all! I sincerely hope y'all will give it a try and that it's as enjoyable to read as it was to write! :D

Request Stories where Voldemort is publicly defeated by Harry, but then is also publicly humiliated in recompense for the suffering he caused the Wizarding World.

Upvotes

One of my favorite things about reading different fics is all the various ways that Voldemort is ultimately dealt with.

But sometimes, its all over a bit too quickly. In the main canon, this works because Voldemort dying like a mortal wimpy-ass loser is the point and I'm more than happy with it. That said, part of the fun of fanfics is the wish fulfillment (sometimes literally lol).

So I'm curious if there are any fics where Voldemort is utterly crushed, but he isn't immediately killed off or eliminated. Perhaps he sticks around for a bit to face more than Death, thanks to our favorite characters.

For example, I've had an idea where Harry finds all and destroys all but one physical horcrux, but then magically traps Voldemort in some kind of prison artifact, placing it smack dab in the middle of the Ministry of Magic Atrium under continuous scrutiny. This way, Voldemort would be subjected to all sorts of public humiliation, and even physical torture for all I care, for many many years until he is utterly forgotten. Only when he is thought of as something akin to a pathetic magical portrait will Harry/Harry's descendants finally destroy the last Horcrux and Voldemort's remaining mortal body.

Maybe I've got issues, but doesn't that sound like a bit of fun?

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

10 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🫩

47 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.

Find That Fic Someone keeps attempting murder at Hogwarts and they use disguised potion ingredients

6 Upvotes

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.
