Title: Welcome to Hogwarts 1949
Author: Ohyeah100
Rating: T
Genre: Humor/Drama (but more like a Mystery/Suspence/Thriller)
Pairing: None
Status: WIP (50K for now)
Summary: Harry is accidently transported fifty years back in time through a fluke with the mauraders map. Here he runs into and befriends Tom Riddle, hoping to find his only weakness. No Slash.

This is for some reason labeled as Humor/Drama, but it is rightfully a combination of mystery and thriller, starting off in the middle of Harry's 6th year and moving on to 1949, Riddle's 6th year at Hogwarts.

In short, Harry is stuck in 1949 until he learns something important about Tom Riddle. They become sort of friends but they don't exactly trust each other. This is not a redemption fic - Harry and Tom are chummy with each other and hang together most of the time, while beneath that facade, they are desperately trying to figure each other's plans and motives.

Tom's character is great - sly, cunning, charming but very dark already evil. As for Harry, he starts as a non-whinny variant of canon!Harry, but is turning darker and more Slytherin along the way.

Downsides include somewhat vague and stupid time-travel method (Marauder’s Map?) and lots of typing/spelling/every other kind of errors. This can also be slow at times, but remember, this is more like a suspense/thriller than your standard action/adventure fight against the evil bullshit.

[apicard]

Ah! The problems with experimenting with untested magic! :twisted:
The grammar in places is a little off too...

[oldmagic]

it would make an interesting fic if it didn't have so many mistakes.

[Sree]

Uh...I'm surprised you didn't link this in Unrecommended FanFiction, or even Awesomely Bad FanFics, IP. Honestly, this fic isn't worth reading, but the summary was good.

[Dark Lord Rostam]

If he had a Beta it could be alot, better then wat it is. But other then mistakes its okay not "awesomely bad" but not great either.

Why? The only thing missing here is better spelling... everything else is OK, especially after a few chapters, when Harry settles down.

It's maybe because I'm not native english speaker that I don't mind spelling and typing errors as much as you people do...

[daterza]

One of the better tom riddle/harry time travel fic I`ve read.

I like the way the author shows the change harry is going through.

overall not a bad stor ;)

no your wrong. there is another fic where harry accidently been transported to riddles time, but lost his memories. it's really really good. it has a sequal as well. i can't remember the name though. i'm surprised that fic is not in the DLP....or is it.

[Aura]

This fic doesn't belong in the unrecommended fanfiction. Sure, the start was a bit stupid, with harry being transported through the map but it's all good from there. Character interaction is interesting and Tom Riddle is exactly how i assumed him to be, though i don't see harry tripping him and not getting anything in return. It's really a good story if you don't mind the typoes that much..

[Dark Syaoran]

The map idea isnt too bad since it explained that the map probably held magic its creators didnt even know they put there. He probably meant that it was connected to the castle in some way... so castle and the map did it... anyway...

It looks really messy in some places but not unreadable. I enjoyed it, really. I havnt read all the posted chapter but im nearly there. Its readable, yes, but it does get a bit hard on the eyes after reading it for a long period of time.

[sirius009]

Like the whole idea but the grammar is just way to off to read further, atleast the author could try and get a beta..

[ghst.san]

If you are able to overlook the grammar mistakes than you´ll have a great time with it. Harry slowly changes and I wouldnt be suprised if he became some sort of mini Riddle. Definitely a must read.

Oldmagic the stories you mean are from Niger Aquila

[Aura]

I've offered to spellcheck for her so that the chapters become more readable.... I'd hate for a good story like that to not get the attention it deserves. Btw, she's only 15. :O_O:

[Dark Syaoran]

Good on ya. That will definitely beef it up a bit. Finally got to the end. It's a good story and now with Aura spellchecking, grammar, ect... well, it'll be much better. :D

[Sree]

It doesn't matter how old you are, you should be able to spell correctly when you post a story.

[Aura]

Yup. She should know how to spell and use spellcheck. But one thing that really bothers me is that she's american... :O_O:

[daterza]

this latest chapter seems better than the one before it. The fic as a whole keeps geting better and better in my books.

[parselmaster]

If I ignore the errors it's o.k. Not the best but definity;y not the worst I've seen. Oh and my oppinion on the spelling is that it is horrible but I have a bit of a problem with grammer and some spelling my self, not that bad mind you, but still, I can't complain.

[Taure]

This story has been finally updated, and quite a good chapter it is too (though there a quite a few noticeable spelling errors and such).

Just thought I'd let you know.

[DarthBill]

Yeah, it's a good story. I'm glad that it's not abandoned. I like how Harry seems to be turning dark because he believes that he can 'fix' it. That when he goes back to his time, nothing will have stayed that way. It makes it vary believable.

[CGB]

Great story. It's one of the better time travel stories out there and it is fairly original. I like how Harry is starting to become more and more dark/evil. Really good story. 5/5 stars

[ip82]

Two new chapters up in a week. Still an amazing piece of literature for a 15 year old girl. Judging by her characterization and plot weaving abilities, she'll grow out in one hell of a writter if she keeps this up.

[obbie]

I've been reading this for a while now and her work just keeps getting better and better. I'm interested in seeing how Harry deals with Hermione after shes spent alot of time to help return him to his own time. That reaction will tell if the rest of the story and the sequel will have any merit at all or if it turns into the rest of the mindless drivel thats out there these days.

[Amerision]

Awesome. Later chapters get better.

A must read.

[CGB]

Great new chapter. This is definitively one of the better stories out there. The change from a good Harry to an evil one is just great.

[Mordac]

´Would be great if it weren't for the spelling and grammar mistakes. As it is, 3.75 stars.

[Iztiak]

Very cool story, i liked the part where Draco was watching Harry through the memory.
P.S. nice avatar Mordac ;)

[ChuckDaTruck]

This fic's awesome. One of the better time travel ones out there.

4.8/5

[DreamRed]

Brilliant fic. The characterisation and plot are really rather good, and she progresses as a nice pace. The grammar and mistakes are a bit difficult to get past, but not so bad that they ruin it by any means. Nice to see none of that Harry-turns-dark-but-isn't-actually-dark stuff, or nice!misunderstood!Riddle that so often plagues the genre. 5/5

[Missy]

I've been wondering, wheres Ron?

Its a pretty good fic, minus the spelling errors and such. 4.5/5

[DreamRed]

This has just updated a few days ago. It's a kind of in between chapter, but I liked the interaction between Riddle and Harry, and the change in how the others percieve him. She also introduced the Voldemort's name well too.

[Vesvius]

I can't really do much more then restate the opinions of those above me. Good fic. That sums it up.

5/5

[Paravon]

A half-chapter, with a promise of more.

I really like this one.

The pacing is good, the interaction is better, and the whole thing just reads on an almost professional level.

And the author seems to be getting even better at the Harry-Tom dynamic.

It had a rough start, but I'm looking forward to what she does.

4/5

[DarthBill]

The update rate is pretty slow, but that is my only problem with this fic. Harry's a dirty killer. And his interaction with Tom is fun.

Tom's all like, "I bet I know who killed that one guy."

And Harry's like:
<<
>>
"Maybe..."

[Othalan]

It seems like a damn good idea for a fic, but I only got about half way through the first chapter before the grammar mistakes just got too irritating for me to continue reading.

I give it a 2/5 for a rather pathetic attempt to write in the english language. If the author would get a beta (or three; with that number of mistakes, they'll want as many editors as possible) and repost an edited version, it would be much more enjoyable.

[Demons In The Night]

From the OP's description it sounds kind of like Death Note, only L is Harry and Light is Riddle. Sounds interesting.

[ip82]

From the OP's description it sounds kind of like Death Note, only L is Harry and Light is Riddle. Sounds interesting.

Yeah, I guess that's a fair description, except Riddle isn't really working against Harry (or is he?) and neither of them is very noble.

[Demons In The Night]

Yeah, I guess that's a fair description, except Riddle isn't really working against Harry (or is he?) and neither of them is very noble.Yeah I know. I just meant it seemed similar in the fact that they are pretending to be friends while trying to figure out the other's secrets. I actually had to drop this fic. It reads like the author flunked out of highschool. I'm not really a grammar nazi, but there comes a point where I can't take it anymore. This fic could do with a minimum of a spell check and a maximum of a beta or two.

Also, I love your stories IP82, especially Potter's Resistance. Do you plan on updating Potter's Resistance or Yin and Yang anytime soon?

[XxEnvyxX]

Well, I think it is a great fanfiction.
The spelling and grammar is sometimes a little bit off,
but the plot makes more than up for this.
I can only say that this story is worth every minute you spend reading it.
XD:D

[Blazing Chime]

One of the few Harry Potter stories that I'm still following. By the way, she's updated. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2550563/26

It seems like Voldemort is going to mark Harry

[Taure]

Whether he does nor not is up for grabs though. I'm putting my money on Harry somehow figuring out a way to get out of it.

Or maybe it's not the Dark Mark but a precursor to the Dark Mark that he's talking about.

[carvell]

Toward's the end of chapter 26 Potter and Riddle mention pager's which were not around in 1949 I left a review on this and this is the reply I got,

.......
haha. you are the third person to mention the pagers. I didn't even think of
it while I was writing it. I did some research and aha lucky me!They were
patented in the year 1949 exactly.
.......

[Anubis Rex]

haha. you are the third person to mention the pagers. I didn't even think of
it while I was writing it. I did some research and aha lucky me!They were
patented in the year 1949 exactly. Christ what a fuckwit.

After 2 minutes of searching, I give you: US Patent 3976995 - Precessing display pager

US Patent Issued on August 24, 1976.I can find earlier patents for a 'pager,' but they all seem to have something to do with a physical (paper) page, although I'm not sure exactly what.

Edit: Got an earlier one - US Patent 3657715 04/13/1970 - , but still nowhere near early enough.

Edit 2, from Wikipedia: History

Paging was invented by Multitone Electronics in 1956 at St Thomas' Hospital in London to alert doctors attending emergencies. Since then, paging has evolved in sophistication. Today, millions of messages are transmitted to people needing fast, reliable messaging communications.
In the world of paging there are two distinct categories of system in operation. There are on-site paging systems that are used in hospitals to convey the same urgent information as when they were invented in 1956. The other type is wide area paging, which offers similar features as on-site paging, but provides the radio coverage across a city, region or country rather than in just one hospital building.
Originally operating on AM radio frequencies, paging moved to FM schemes prior to becoming a ubiquitous form of communications around the developed and developing world. In some cases, before the advent of cellular phone systems the pager was used as a replacement for a lack of cheap local or international phone services.

[Blazing Chime]

I'm sure she was just joking. She doesn't seem that *insert adjective* even though her grammar needs an improvement.

[sgtoutlaw]

Loved this story a lot, I like how Harry is starting to just get pulled away by Tom's charisma like everyone else.

That and how Harry is only keeping up by his knowledge of Tom's future self; as that goes away, Harry is desperately trying to figure out Tom and everything he is hiding. In trying to live with him, he just keeps going deeper into the darkness.

[VoldemortHarryFenrir]

It’s an interesting idea. People have said this before, so I’m not sure why I’m repeating it, but you have a few grammatical errors you should revise. Though I like the story, and I hope you can get another chapter posted soon.

[Andromalius]

I give you two days, tops.

Edit: Alright Elvin, you win.

Just type - no changing the color except to highlight things or present them. Otherwise the gestapo will rape you ~|~.

[Torak]

Tada Its been updated;)

[Vira]

It finally updated. :D

New chapter introduced the rough draft of the dark mark, which I find really interesting.

Though, I found that, the last part of the chapter where Harry and Tom are talking through the dark mark to be a bit confusing. But that might be because I kept thinking at first that someone was actually talking to him, not mind-talking.

Also, I have a strange feeling, no proof, that Draco is somehow going to be the one that pulls Harry back into the present. No clue how though.

[tasoli]

It is a good story I like this smart dark Harry but he is barely equal the tom.

I didn't like the draco's pov. except that story is very good.
4.5/5

[Torak]

It's been update

Not half bad with some Inner Circle drama.
