    I don't have any specific stories in mind, as I haven't been able to find them on my own. I'm looking for stories (as you might have figured) in which Harry is mentored by Crouch Jr. when he impersonates Mad-Eye during 4th Year. I'm interested in the concept as much as the execution, so they don't have to be anywhere near perfect. Any finds would be apreciated.

    Edit: I only looked through the first three pages of the 'Looking For' section, so I apologize if this search has been made before.

    Harry Potter and the Determinations of Fate

    Like ripples through water, a single event can change the entire course of history. For Harry, all it took was meeting a misty-eyed Ravenclaw a year earlier... Major AU later

    This is a rather blatant Super!Harry fic, and Tehan's Luna could beat this one any day of the week without much difficulty. Crouch gave HP a pass to the Restricted section and taught him quite a few spells, such as Sectumsempra.


    A Change In Destiny is a much better fic all around, which doesn't mean much, unfortunately.

    Determinations of Fate wasn't too bad, given its shortness. It was at least a decent way to get Harry involved with 'Moody', I guess. Why do people feel the need to bring swords into play more often?

    A Change in Destiny is interesting, I guess. Harry's break from Hermione and Ron, as well as his distrust of Dumbledore seem sort of contrived to me. And the need to spell out Crouch-Moody's reports to Voldemort is kind of odd, but acceptable...and I've just stopped reading when Harry found out Moody was Crouch and decided to keep the information to himself. It wouldn't have bothered me if he'd gotten an oath that he wouldn't ever harm, torture, kidnap, or kill him, but yeah.

    Thanks for the stories, King. I apreciate it.

    It's been seven years. I kinda doubt the same person is still looking for the same stories.

    Anyway, this is it's DLP thread - there's a reason it ended up in Almost Recommended.

    Quite apart from the obviously face-palmy premise, here's all you need to know about that fic:
