Instead of Snape letting punishment go to the Carrows, Snape convinces Riddle that the children (who are halfblood and pureblood) can instead undergo 're-education.' If they get a detention then they are brought into the great hall after lessons under the direction of Snape and, until bed, write out lines proving that 'magic is might.'

That way the kids are saved from torture and he can keep an eye on all the kids who might need help.

Riddle would probably appreciate having more 'future followers' and no one has to know Snape is against them.

Are there any fics in which Dumbledore is the one to tell Harry that he has to die? Thanks!

"My boy,when I said,you can enjoy your life,I didn't mean it like this" spoke Dumbledore as he show Harry the most magic comics of romance as Dumbledore stared at him. "Because of you harry,I have to handle all the dang money. What the heck even happened to your friends even malfoy? What kind of hypnotozation,did you do to make them buy these things?" Spoke Dumbledore as this isn't the first time it happened. Dumbledore should have made a class that teaches how to handle your hobbies.

Ok so a while back I read this fic but I forgot the name and I can’t find it no matter what i search basically Lucius and Narcissa have a baby girl when draco is in his third or fourth year (maybe) and i think her name is aurora and the fic basically is them realistically as a family going thru the plot like thru the war and everything i think there’s a scene where narcissa was trying to hide her from voldemort but bellatrix tells him and he creepily shows up to talk to her plsss help me find this fic it was so good

Trans female harry who is severely abused. Death finds out when theyre 5 or 6 or around there ( min few years before hogwarts) so death calls in a few favors. And even the fates approve. Theyre adopted by artemis and are raised with the hunt. ( when theyre adopted and join they change genders) And fully join right before hogwarts or sooner. Have hectate and other gods teach em things they need to know. Have hectate make sure their core still matures even while a full member. Artemis sends someone with them to help them at the school. Use the myst to make them appear to get older as the years go on. Have luna in the same year being her mysterious self. But she can see through the myst and see her real age. (Ok i now think having a childlike fem harry with luna as a friend would be adorable. Especially as nobody else would understand why harry acts the way they do. ( question is to have the myst disguise thier new gender as it does their age or not?)

I accidentally read the first paragraph of My Immortal and I need to clean my eyes and brains real quick lol

Just finished Strange Reflections, looking for something in a similar vein where Harry has to contended with parents that are... subpar.

*quick note, I'm more interested in an alternate universe situation than a WBWL, but im open to anything that's good.

Especially the Elfling Harry fanfics set in Lord Of The Rings or the Hobbits please.

I’ve read a lot of HP fanfic and one thing that consistently pops up is that muggleborns are somehow responsible for the banning of traditions and practices in magical Britain. But like, it’s always struck me as making absolutely no sense. How can a demographic of people who have no political power, no ability to influence the wizengamot, and who are largely young children, be responsible for any sort of legislation?? It sounds a lot like racist rhetoric and, after 2 years of consuming more HP fanfiction than is probably healthy, it’s really started to get under my skin 😭

Hi! I just read Oh God Not Again and thoroughly enjoyed it. Are there any other fics that are similar in terms of seriousness to crack/humour balance? I really liked how it didn’t take itself too seriously but there was still a solid underlying plot through it. Any pairings are fine, doesn’t have to be time travel or anything.

I’m looking for a WBWL fic where Harry’s sister is the girl who lived and Harry ran away from home due to neglect. He somehow winds up back in time where he meets and is adopted by the mikaelsons and becomes a vampire when they go through the ritual.

I can't remember the name but I know it was on fanfiction.net. It's a crossover with Naruto. Naruto runs away from the village to find family. He's related to Harry and Dudley through their grandfather. Dudley helps get him away from Petunia and Vernon. Harry, Teddy, Dudley and his wife all go back to Konoha with Naruto. Please help!

Harry and friends look around wondering where Voldemort is as Voldemort coughs. "Down here" spoke Voldemort as the trio look down and appears to see Voldemort but as a child every wizard and death eaters stared at what appears to be the infamous Voldemort.

Yeah so basically what is above. I am looking for fics like that after reading A lesson in cottage core by Jam_on_Toast on AO3(which I highly recommend). Really any fics that have him living in the woods in any situation.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for this trope. I’ve read a lot of fics where Harry is sent back and becomes like a child genius or prodigy with all of his memories and knowledge. I haven’t been able to find similar ones with hermione as the main character where she was solely sent back somehow!!! Thank you for any recommendation!

It starts with James and his friends in a quidditch cup. James is also having a fling with another Gryffindor girl.

After all there are more redheads in Harry's year than just Ron.

Looking for a variety of fics of Harry possibly being the Master of Death, timetravelling back to before hogwarts and/or being friends with Death who helps guide him throughout reincarnation.

Points to fics with multiple bashing because I’m a sucker for the angst even if it is boring and overused and points for more angst, don’t mind it being a trauma focused Harry since his childhood would obviously have effects later in life, found family or even Severitus etc etc

Preferably no f/m unless it’s anyone but Harry- crack fics are enjoyable too, especially if he reincarnates just to piss Tom off and make it his life’s goal to annoy the dark lord into giving up in the war

Most stories either hold closely to the events of the books or Throw Harry as far from Hogwarts as possible and I want stories where Harry is still at Hogwarts, but none of the major events from the books happen. No Voldemort, no dementors, no Triwizard tournament, etc.

I came across the on my timeline and thought it would be a fantastic prompt.

Harry Potter Redneck Wizard

https://x.com/demonflyingfox/status/1829220643700633754?s=46&t=2fc2MpuiXdZmdQiuHN7EZg

I am looking for any and all evil scientist/Assassin Luna stories where she is broken or insane or just plain out of this world. Where Harry is the only one she listens to if only marginally.

"Freaking Snape!" Harry shouted from his upstairs bedroom at number four as he finally lost his temper while doing his summer's potions homework.

"BOY!!! QUITE DOWN OR IT'S THE SHED FOR YOU!!!" shouted his uncle, who clearly didn't like hearing his nephew cause a racket. Not long he was called down by his aunt. Grumpy and frustrated, Harry petulantly came downstairs and saw his aunt with a full tea set waiting for him.

"Have a seat Harry."

Confused at his Aunt's cherry attitude, he did as he was asked.

"Now when you had that outburst earlier, where you talking about a Severus Snape?"

Shocked, Harry nodded.

"Greasy hair? Hook Nose? Dresses like a bat?"

"How do you know my potions professor Aunt Petunia?"

"Oh... I got all the gossip for you when you go back to that freaky school, but first... pour the tea so you can tell me all about that horrible boy that was my sister's best friend growing up."

"WHAT?!"

Essentially. Petunia finds out that Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts and absolutely loving all the gossip and dirty details about people she can't stand, must know everything she missed out on. Also gives Harry an arsenal of blackmail information for when he goes back to Hogwarts, if only to get back at Snape from when they were kids.

TO BE CLEAR: I am not looking for Harry x Harem. I am looking for a wholesome polycule thing, everyone is together for everyone else, not for one person.

Prefer AO3 but don’t mind FFNet.

Much Thank.

P. S. MC = Harry preferred but necessary.

For example, wands made of human bones instead of wood were banned due to the fact that previously you couldn't just freely give the necessary bones without harm or injury involved. And then skelegrow is invented and all of a sudden such a thing is possible. Same with most blood magics as they were created long before the invention of blood replenishment potions.

The trio inadvertently learns of this little tidbit in second year when researching the polyjuice potion and end up fascinated by it. Especially after Harry suffers from having all the bones in his arm vanished and regrown. Hit with inspiration, Harry dives into some wand creation lore after writing Ollivander. During the beginning of the winter break, Harry and Hermione quickly brew some skelegrow and convince Ron to let them take the bones from his wand arm and take the skelegrow.

Unfortunately it's not till the end of the year that Harry is able to finish what he's created and give it to Ron; the search for a core being a dead end till the end of the year with the death of the basilisk. Having snuck down back into the chamber after recovering from the attack, Harry harvests various bits of the beast to experiment with. It's not until the express is about to leave the school that Harry's able to have Ron test the pair of wands he created for him. A matching set of ten inch long basilisk heartstring core wands made of bone that are perfectly attuned to Ron.

Hermione, curious of how it'd turn out, had already quietly done a set thing spell on her own arm over the winter break as well just in case. After seeing how well attuned Ron's are, she give Harry the bones and asks him to make her a set as well. When Harry ends up at the Leaky Cauldron, he's able to finish her set as well. Not wanting to be left out, he takes advantage of the leaky cauldron and the traceless wands he has on hand to harvest his own bones to make himself a set only.backup wands as well. When the trio reunite, Harry is pleased to find Ron's wands are working perfectly as does the ones he made for Hermione and himself.

In third year, Hermione shares the fact she has a time-turner with Ron and Harry so they can keep up with their research. After all, the wands Harry created work perfectly; even better than their originals in fact. So the trio set out to abuse time itself to do more and more research into their new favorite subject/hobby. To the point where they even slip visiting Hogsmeade except for trips to the bookstore and stationary shop.

When Pettigrew escapes and reunites with Voldemort after the end of third year, Voldemort gains a very skewed perspective on the trio. He's also unaware just how badly his planned return is going to become. After all it's quite amazing the things one learns tearing apart ancient and forbidden dark magics with the benefits of progress and hindsight on your side.

Their excitement quickly turns to horror when Harry introduces himself as "Hadrian Potter-Black."

Quick-Quote Chaos

5th year, Hogsmeade; Skeeter's interview with Harry.

Rita was waiting with Hermione and Luna when Harry entered the Three Broomsticks pub. He sat down and shot Hermione a questioning look. "What's going on?"

Hermione sniffed derisively at a clearly disgruntled Rita, "You're going to give Rita an interview about everything that's happened this year."

Harry shrugged indifferently, "Fine by me. Luna? What are you doing here?"

Luna dreamily sucked on the end of her straw, "Daddy's going to publish Rita's article. I'm here as the Quibbler's representative."

Harry turned to Rita who'd just pulled out her customary acid-green quill. He plucked it out of the air and twirled in his fingers while Rita scowled, "Give that back!"

"I don't think so, for two reasons. One, I want you to use an ordinary quill so you can't make up something I never said. Two, how much did these cost and where can I get more?"

All three women looked at him with varying reactions. Rita's was suspicious, Hermione was curious, Luna was...well, Luna.

Harry's eyes twinkled, "I had an idea to get back at a few people. If I can disguise or copy the enchantments on these, I would use them on some rather disagreeable people inhabiting the castle right now."

Hermione choked down a snort of laughter, "You mean someone like Malfoy?"

"To start with, yes."

Rita sat there nonplussed, "Why bother?"

Harry's grin was shark-like, "Because they deserve it."

Xxx

Harry's interview with Rita went well. Well enough that instead of the original expose that she'd planned on, it was more of an insight into the harrowing 'adventures' that always seemed to involve Harry, Hermione, and Ron; usually without adult intervention until the very end and when one or all three were suffering from their injuries. Harry revealed the truth behind Voldemort’s possession of Professor Quirrell, the Chamber of Secrets fiasco, the truth behind why Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, and finally what happened last year during the Tournament.

"Quite honestly," Harry replied, "If I had had the option and knowledge after my first year, I would’ve transferred to Whitehall Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry in London. It's a much younger and tremendously more modern school than Hogwarts, and it's only for muggleborn and raised students. From what I've learned so far, I would've gotten the education that Dumbledore loves to claim that Hogwarts offers but fails to deliver."

In addition to the interview, Rita supplied him with a dozen disguised Quick Quotes Quills which Harry promptly slipped into various students' bags. Ron caught on pretty fast that he'd been pranked and blamed the Twins, erroneously thinking they were the culprits. Draco got in trouble with Severus after the Potions homework he thought he'd turned in spent more time describing the luscious locks and dreamy eyes of Harry Potter.

Even Umbridge didn't escape the Quill Invasion when the lines she forced Harry to write in detention for some pitiful excuse of an infraction didn't give the results she expected. With hers, Hermione figured out how to link the quill he used with another supplied to Director Bones. Amelia stormed the castle flanked by several trusted Aurors to arrest the Toad for abusing her authority over children.

Xxx

At the end of the year, Harry sat with Hermione on the train, his feet propped up on the opposite bench, a small smile ghosting his face. He watched as Ron played a game of chess against himself while Hermione chattered on about how she'd thought had done on their OWLs.

At her curious look and nudge, he shook his head fondly, "This year's been been chaotic, and I owe it all you for getting me that interview with Rita." He leant over and gave her a toe-curling kiss on her lips as a thank you leaving Hermione breathless and blushing like mad.

Bellatrix Black and Regulus Black being married off to each other with her being devoted to Regulus as much as she is to Voldemort in canon. When Regulus discovers about the Horcrux, Bellatrix goes with him. Bellatrix willingly drinks the potion, and both manage to get out after making the swap.

With Bellatrix being married to Regulus and devoted to him she isn't given the Cup of Hufflepuff, but she does remember who was given it, and knows through Narcissa that Lucius was given a book/diary.

They know that likely makes at least three horcruxes. And that trying to go after any others, especially on their own, will get them killed. They need help.

Before Snape even overhears the prophecy Regulus and Bellatrix have already gone to Dumbledore with the locket and become his spies.

Due to the Blacks information a Death Eater Raid is responded to in more force (ambushing it/laying in wait would have made there being a spy too obvious) and Pettigrew is actually revealed when the Order notes a Death Eater turning into a rat to escape them which leads to Sirius and Lupin revealing that Pettigrew can turn into a rat.

Pettigrew was already made the secret keeper, so those few that actually know the secret of the Potter's hiding place go over to evacuate them in force and are there when Voldemort leads an attack in force.

Voldemort still manages to corner Lily and kills her to get to Harry but has his killing curse backfire and destroy his body, but everyone there sees his wraith flee.

Meanwhile Snape had been forced to be a part of the raid, and let his hatred of James lead to going all out fighting him. Snape gets his wand arm blow to pieces just after casting Sectum Sempra on James leading to James bleeding out in pain, while Snape would go on to be captured and Kissed/Veiled as part of the Death Eater/Pureblood Purge in the aftermath of the Battle of Godric's Hollow.

The Black's were also called upon to join Voldemort's forces, but once Battle started they turned on the Death Eaters even before Voldemort's defeat. Combined with Dumbledore's testimony and their willingness to work with the DoM and DMLE they were Pardoned in the aftermath.

Slippery Lucius had quickly turned on the other Death Eaters once Voldemort did fall, combined with actually being imperiused by his father to carry out his first kill before getting his Dark Mark and Narcissa having to Imperius him any time he is made to go on raids (Lucius is actually squeamish and mostly served as a money man/political influencer) and with copious bribes to specify what questions are asked during his trial, Lucius would actually go on to successfully get off with a veritaserum backed imperius defense as he was able to say he was under the imperius for every murder and raid he participated in. The malfoy vaults still took a major hit and Lucius did serve several years in low security/dementor level of azkaban.

Narcissa, without Lucius around to prevent it, and with the Malfoy Family Financials being what they were after the fines and bribes to keep Lucius from being executed, was able to apprentice with Madame Pomfrey at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore arranged for Regulus to get an apprenticeship with Slughorn, and Regulus would go on to transition into taking over as Potions Professor in the mid 80s (slughorn staying on as Slytherin Head of House and school Potions Master/providing Potions for the Hospital Wing and using ingredients from the greenhouses and forest to make Potions for Hogwarts to sell).

Bellatrix would be brought in as a Dueling Elective Professor (she refused to teach DADA because she heard Voldemort talk about how he cursed/jinxed it) and co-sponsor, with Flitwick, for the Hogwarts Dueling team for the International Scholastic Dueling League. Eventually, once Dumbledore cannot find anyone to find to teach DADA, Bellatrix is convinced to teach a mandatory "Introduction to Dueling and Defensive Magic" course for first and second year's and to expand the elective into Dueling and Defensive Magic covering defending oneself outside a Dueling ring.

Care of Magical Creatures was simultaneously updated to become Magical Creature Care and Defense and incorporating the creature aspects of DADA.

With Narcissa helping with the Hospital wing and taking some of the classes Madame Pomfrey and her also were able to reinstate the Healing courses and incorporate emergency medical aid and household medical charms to serve as an early basis for Third Year electives and evolving to counter curses and spell damage for fifth year curriculum leading to students getting their O.W.L. in Healing actually being certified as junior Medi- wizards/witches, and thus the N.E.W.T. level Courses (which include serving stints in the hospital wing as part of their duties) can have those that pass with an A or EE being raised to Senior Medi-witch/wizard, and an O can also get them a Healing apprenticeship or possibly a Junior Healer certification if they do exceptionally well.

This leads to a much different Hogwarts come the 1990s and Harry's generation.

Furthermore, in the aftermath of the Battle of Godric's Hollow with Sirius being revealed as a decoy/Pettigrew dying in Death Eater robes and Marked, but also going into a depressive spiral after James and Lily's deaths and Peter's betrayal, well Dumbledore almost got away with putting Harry with the Dursleys for the Blood protection. The Black's however asked a key question, whether Sirius had blood adopted Harry when he undertook the Godfather Ritual. When they find out that yes he had, they ask Dumbledore to determine whether the Blood Protections on Harry are Just based on Lily's blood or "His parent's blood". If they count Sirius as well, then Regulus, and even Bellatrix to a lesser degree, would be just as close of a blood relative as the muggles, but they have magic to further boost the protections. Plus, as they live in married quarters inside Hogwarts, if they take custody of Harry and raise him in hogwarts wouldn't that mean the blood wards could be added on top of Hogwarts wards? Making not just Harry even more protected, but also protecting all the children of britain under those same blood protections? Plus Dumbledore would be better able to keep appraised of how Harry is raised and serve as even more protection? Thus Harry grows up in Hogwarts, and with the Black's raising Harry (and eventually their own children together) within Hogwarts, Narcissa eventually also moves full time into the School with Draco.

Within a few years, and once Regulus and Bellatrix have mended bridges with Andromeda/convinced Arcturus to reinstate her and accept Nymphadora into the family, Andromeda is even hired to help watch over the children, and this is expanded to include other war orphans like Susan Bones, and Neville Longbottom (his parents had actually been some of the few to know the Potter's secret and were there to help evacuate them- temporarily to hide with them even, but Frank was another casualty of the Battle, and while Alice survived, the Battle left her a broken shell.)

Remus Lupin mostly spends his time taking care of Sirius and helping him slowly recover (doing such being the only thing that actually keeps him from breaking down himself as well), but by the time of Harry's fifth birthday the two slowly start to become a part of Harry's life.

Eventually Remus, instead of becoming a dark creature hunter/getting a Defense Mastery, becomes a Mind Healer, actually having had to face his own issues in order to help Sirius. While he primarily works with werewolf victims and newly turned, he does agree to try and help Alice Longbottom. Eventually he does bring her to some semblance of functional. (Possibly with Alice Eventually developing a relationship with Remus or Sirius in the future?)

So it is that Harry grows up in the heart of the magical world, inside a Hogwarts drastically different from what may have been.

Meanwhile in greater Magical Britain as a whole in the aftermath of the Battle of Godric's Hollow, and Voldemort somehow not dying/his wraith being witnessed fleeing, that led to much harsher treatment of Death Eaters and Pureblood supremacists as the ministry knows how close to falling it was, and that if they don't take advantage of this reprieve to really clean up their society they'll continue to be at danger. After all, all at the battle saw the wraith, both Order and Death Eater and civilians alike. It is known that Voldemort wasn't killed that night merely vanquished, and that he is still out there somewhere and somehow still clinging to life.

Thus the Purge of the Dark happened as war tribunals and veritaserum trials happened as the Ministry cracked down hard.

The Malfoys gave up the Diary, The Blacks provided the Locket, both were able to point towards who was given the cup, and upon the ministry learning it was stored in their vault, they confiscated their vault contents as part of the punishment and thus acquired the Cup.

With three horcruxes to examine the Unspeakables were able to determine there were still other pieces around leading to efforts to learn more about Tom Riddle (as the diary revealed) in order to track down the others.

Harry's scar is cleansed, and the Blacks' Dark Marks are removed, in a ritual performed upon the Black's taking custody of Harry. The ritual is one of renewal and (re)commitment and purification. It becomes the foundation of a new basis for the Black Toujours Pur motto. Purification of spirit, purification of magic, purity of self. With all future joinings, marriages, adoptions, bindings and etc being required to have a purification and cleansing ritual as a prelude to the commitment Ritual.
