Here’s my contribution:

Harry is completely in-tune with his magic since he can remember, but because of his upbringing at the Dursley’s he has a super-powered Notice-Me-Not Charm emanating from him constantly. The charm is so all encompassing, in fact, that everything he does is attributed to someone else. Even though he lives with the Dursley’s they are not aware of him at all, or anything he does for that matter. So he has free reign of their house and of his time.

He learns and grows and the Notice-Me-Not charm is so potent that he can even do magic out of School, and while at Hogwarts everything, from his bed to the books he takes from the Library or the Restricted Section go unnoticed. Indeed, he could get away with murder if he wanted, or he could stand beside Voldemort and not be detected.

You can make it to the extent that after the first meeting and everything is arranged, even Dumbledore seems to forget about him. And he likes this.

A lone-wolf kind of Harry Potter.

 

Exactly, it needn’t be a long story either, and he could reasonably reduce the effect of the charm and just how much he wants to be 'Noticed.' If he kept it secret from everyone, then he could do anything he wanted and you could even plausibly apply the Pervert!Harry idea I read somewhere in here. I mean, really, from stealing Dumbledore’s candies, to Snape’s ingredients. He could kick Filch in the ass and not get blamed, learn whatever he wanted and even skip classes when he's bored without reprisal. He could sleep in the girl’s dormitory if he wanted.

Indeed, he could avoid being used on the Voldemort’s resurrection ritual, and then sneak up on him and burn his body a couple of times with a little contact, screw the Death Eaters over by infiltrating their houses. He could get pictures as evidence that Malfoy is a ponce and send them to the Daily Prophet, etc…

And I just though, if you incorporate a Pervert!Harry into this idea, he could have easily seen enough to publish a wizarding pornographic novel, based on Hogwarts life, which he could start in his second year, really. He only needs a publisher. Hell, by the time everyone found out who the author was in say, Sixth Year, every red blooded male, from student to headmaster could be a fan of his books.

It’s a funny concept all around, I think. And really, I haven’t ever seen it. Everyone always wants to give Harry extreme powers so that he can blow half of Hogwarts with a snap of his fingers, why not give him a power were he could sneak around and screw everyone up? Indeed, you wouldn’t even need to make Harry particularly powerful or even studious, just crazy enough to use the power he controls creatively.

 

Sweet, tell me if you have a go at it. Personally, I completely suck at writing Humor based stories or fiction, so I leave it to others. I have an extreme amount of ideas that I usually just write and outline and then store in a file I have specifically for that. I’ll see what I can dig up and pot it here. Who knows, maybe someone can write them…

 

You know, everyone always makes Harry study like a dog to beat Voldemort, but I bet no-ones done a Slacker!Harry before, eh? Just imagine what would happen if he was just a freeloader and a lazybones who took every shortcut he could find, and maybe have a lucky streak a mile wide. Who knows, the Prophecy doesn’t say what kind of equals they should be, right?

 

Actually, I'd love to see a well-written Post Hogwarts featuring Harry and Angelina. That would absolutely make my universe. Like, maybe how after he destroyed Lord Voldemort they both became famous Quidditch players or something like that and fell in love. Actually *anything* with Harry and Angelina would be nice but I really like the sound of a Post-Hogwards fic. Lessons by K writer is awesome and Majestic's Somewhat Lost is okay (from what I've read so far) but those are the only H/A stories I could find with some sort of plot, length and not to mention grammatical structure.

I might just pitch the idea to K-writer and see what she says.

 

After being raped in his sleep by Ginny, harry becomes a raging sex addict. He then defeats voldie by sleeping with every witch in the world and seducing them to join his army. See the power of lurve really does win in the end!

Oh wait, i think i pretty much just described every Harem fic in existence.

 

...No.

During the 2nd task, Harry sees something in the water. Curious he follows, after a few minutes he realizes he has completely abandoned his task. He tries to rush back, but he is captured. Mermaids capture him, seduce him, and torture him until he agrees to stay on his own will. They train him in water magic, NOT ELEMENTAL MAGIC, Water magic. Elemental magic is a fairy tale, even in the wizarding world. They still have some spells like that, but only basic; eg Incendio. He is trained in water magic, and he hates Wizardkind for what they have done to Mermaids.

He has forgived Mermaids for torturing him, because they trained him. You go from there.

 

Interesting DLR, but what would the difference be between water magic and elemental magic of the water variety?

 

WTF are Gaaraish abilities Surarrin?

 

In an Anime called Naruto, there’s a character that can freely manipulate sand named Gaara and use it to both attack and defend, creating things from an armor of sand to a shield of sand, to spikes, streams and whatever else you can think of to attack an opponent while he just stands there with his arms crossed.

Its extremely difficult to overcome his sand because it moved very quickly and if he captures you in a cocoon of sand, he can easily crush someone with a thought. So I would imagine that Surarrin was talking of something of that nature, only with water. Complete water manipulation. Like Haku, whose another character of the same anime that can manipulate water and ice.

 

SOunds like a recipe for a HArry that could easily kill Voldie but sits around and mopes instead

 

heh, that might make a good comedy oneshot madeye.

I really would like to see Olfriks Idea about the Fidleus...er that one invisible spell that I can't spell, that would one of the best stories out there if taken by the right author....

EDIT: Gah, the blasted thing didn't take me to the right page, I was refering to Madeyes' post on page 7.
