"I ate his kidney with kidney beans."

 

Hey guys, thanks so much for your input!

I actually followed your advice and even read Harry Potter and the Forced Hero, yeah, that kind of blew my bubble. So I think I need to recreate my character (a lot!)

Your concerns about the depth of Harry's character is what actually got me thinking. I guess I didn't bring him across as what he is supposed to be then? There is a reason I mentioned the need of an "Ultimate ship", which I should have made clear. The Harry I envisioned has a lot of problems, and he is also completely unwilling to do anything about it. Its right to assume he has no moral compass, but that compass is what is instilled in him by his 'other' (who is undecided). That being said, I don't plan on angsting this fic up till my readers are facepalming. Its a parody and meant to be funny at the end of the day. The inspiration for the relationship he is supposed to have is actually taken from 101 Responses to "Will you go out with me Evans?" . If that helps at all. Its a slow and somewhat misguided romance that is really unlike any serious romances from some of the other fics out there.

I guess one of the main driving forces behind this story is creating a stable Harry Potter, to show the growth of his character through a series of unfortunate (and humourous) events.

The conman idea was actually pretty good and I think I could write a believable conman!Harry over sociopath!Harry. A Harry somewhat inspired from Neal Caffrey really got me thinking (it also helps that White Collar is one of my favourite new TV shows).

I think what I'm going to do is take part of this plot and kind of recreate my Harry so he can avoid the old clichés that you guys pointed out and become similar to canon but still different enough that he is engaging.

Again thanks to you all for preventing me from wasting a monumental amount of time over what was revealed to me as a thoroughly overdone idea.

Harry turns to Draco and says "I have been giving serious thought...to eating your mother".

 

Draco responds, "You and half of Slytherin, Potter. Try something original."

 

"Remarkable boy. I do admire your courage. I think I'll eat your heart."
