I was thinking that instead of Harry's soul being stored in a phylactery, it was simply destroyed. Since Dementors are immortal, and Harry absorbed one, he wouldn't have a soul, but still be magical (Dementors are magical creatures) and be borderline immortal, since he doesn't have a soul. Harry could be killed, like getting his head cut off or w/e, but a killing curse wouldn't work on him.

I still need to work out the finer details before I write anything though. Any help would be appreciated.

 

An idea of how Harry could get an army of evil but loyal followers:

In an effort to get Sirius out of the veil, he starts some kind of ritual on it and frees a lot of previously dead and evil people from it. But as every one of them owes him a life debt, he makes some kind of slavery contract with them and so rhas the perfect recruits for his own army. They are mean fighters, maybe powerful and by a magic bound to his wishes.

PS: The people that come out could even be the people from DLP, starting the idea from the other thread off.

 

Hm...
After Sixth, instead of succeding or on the path of succes in destroying, they fail. Period. No loopholes. Fic-Starts in a post-War world, only the wrong side has won.

Now, what does Voledmort really want? All this can't be a overgrown brats childhood grudge against muggles, perhaps that's just a sentiment he shared with the Wizarding Aristocracy and overplayed that card to gain a following. So, chances are he's after power. But the important part is, what then? What will he do with this power? The stupid homicidal-to-the-extreme Voldie you find in so many fanfic's is an idiot. Every dictator worst fear are his subjects. So it would be important to find a balance between crucio-happy Voldie and the smart, brilliant tactician.

Anyway, he will have power as long as there are people. So, there will be a society, although perverted, that would still exist under him. Something of the sort in "A Stranger in A Strange Land"

[A few years after the 'Final War']

So, we'd enter Harry.

There is a lot of discontent, and not only amongst the "Light." There would be people who'd exist beneath the two categories, who choose to be declared as neither.

These are the kind of people Harry would seek out.

Many details to be worked out, but anyway... these are the kind of people Harry would seek out, but seek out a bit openly, so that there are words, and whispers and talks.

Collecting, collecting, collecting... when eventually, they Have enough they would attack. And of course, they would fail. But that didn't matter anyways. Those people that Harry had collected had been merely a diversion, because exactly at that time, people from inside Voldie's organization would cripples it, people Harry had turned with or without consent, during the "Few years" gap.

Give him Dumbles memories to account for why he spent more time manipulating than learning during the few years.

Kill the order, don't kill em. Harder, of course, if they're dead.

While the most part can and should be spent with the "Diversion Group", showing the condition of people and society, there must be some forewarning about the "inside group. "

 

thats a pretty cool idea, and its an idea that isn't completely out of left field because the veil is kind of a unknown thing.



For harry goes missing when he is young, how about if he ends up at Durmstrang and he is trained (maybe the headmaster or a teacher eventually raises him) of course sooner or later he'll go to hogwarts for good (maybe after GOF).

It'll be an indendant!dark!harry without following the normal shopping spree cliche.

 

Harry gets addicted to Felix Felice (unsure on the spelling) and becomes a reckless maniac with the luck of a leprechaun. It would be challenging to see how the author could have Harry continually avoid serious repercussions of his actions by sheer luck. Most likely a one shot or a series of one shots.

 

That sounds a lot like Make a Wish by Rorschach's Blot. Although, Make a Wish has more of the 'continually avoid serious repercussions of his actions by sheer luck' and less of the Felix Felicis. I'd like to see a fic where Harry decides to take Felix Felicis, and then has a day filled with what he would describe as bad luck.

Harry knew this was his only chance. Quickening his pace, he caught up to Ginny just as she reached the staircase. "Ginny...I was...I was...wondering...if..." he broke off and shuffled his feet. Suddenly, a noise from down the corridor startled the pair. Harry turned so quickly that he tripped and fell down the stairs, breaking both arms, a leg, and several ribs. When he came to a stop, he looked back up the stairs, just in time to see an axe slice through the space he had just occupied. Harry watched in horror as the axe continued it's disembodied journey, finally stopping in the wall behind the two halves of Ginny's body.



I've never seen Harry's animagus form be a muggle. He spends all that time training to be an animagus and learning to fight, only to find out that...muggles really are nothing more than animals.

 

Harry goes back in time and ends up with his great-grandfather so to hide his identity and protect the future he tells them his name is Peeves, then he dies and becomes a poltergeist in Hogwarts

 

Now, that sounds like a good set up for a comedy fic.

 

Harry being taken under the wing of Crouch Jr.

 

Harry finding and claiming the one "Master" ring for himself and becoming the lord of the rings...

 

AU Sixth Year

In his Sixth Year, Voldemort grows in power, employing all kinds of magical creatures and demons to slaughter the light. Sinister creations are ravaging magical society, and the muggles are beginning to take notice.

The Death Eaters are swarming with new recruits who want to protect their families, and the light's allies continue to shrink day by day.

In a last ditch effort, the Order seals Harry in a frozen state so he may escape death.

Several Years Later

Harry wakes up, aged but unaware of the time that has passed.

He finds the world in shambles, muggle and magical society oppressed by Voldemort's forces, the Combine.

The powerful police force patrols the streets, executing muggles and magicians who show any signs of rebellion. At their command lay Dementors, Manticores, and sick creations that have resulted from Voldemort's experimentations.

Tall monsters with magical cannons/weapons are able to obliterate everything in their path.

Small crablike creature latch onto hosts and turn them into bloodthirsty zombies.

Muggles are torn apart and reassembled, grotesque and with magic.

Inferi are everywhere.

People are tagged, identified by numbers, and muggles are shrinking in number. A fertility spell stops them from procreating.

But Harry finds a small, but growing resistance of muggles and wizards.

The wizards quickly recognize Harry and hope is born.

Too bad it won't be long until Voldemort catches wind of his return...

--

It uses elements from the Half-Life 2 storyline.

 

How about a story from voldemort's POV.

Kind of wonder what the hell he does all day. Could be funny or serious.

 

Why is that?

The idea doesn't seem bad to me. In fact, it sounds loads better than crossing it with Star Wars.

It isn't much of a crossover though. I mean, the only elements used in the story from HL2 would be the "World in Shambles Oppressed by Oprressive Rulers" thing.

 

We see a lot of political Harry, but I don't think there are that many--if any--fics with a business tycoon Harry. Just think, when the Prophet started slandering him, he could just do an hostile takeover on it and send Skeeter as a correspondent to Australia or something.

 

I suggested somethign simlar, with Harry not attending Hogwarts for whatever reason, but by the time he is found, he is a multi-billionaire business tycoon, and immediately starts plotting his domination of the wizarding worlds business market.

Can you image the scene as a piss tkae on the cliche about Potters being Ward Masters, where someone says to Harry about how he will obviously become a Ward Master, and he just completely flips them off and says how is jsut going to take over the world. Could lead to come interesting consequences.

There are however, many fics where Harry buys out the Daily Prophet, and gets revenge on Skeeter.

 

Yea I saw it, but then I continued reading the thread and dind't feel like going to your post to reply.
And yes, there are plenty of ways he could dominate the wizarding market. Just for a start: robes. The type we see are hand made ones. He'd just have to make them in a (muggle) plant in Pakistan or something, telling the curious that they're for theater wardrobes or something, and then sell them in Diagon Alley a bit below the price of hand-made robes.

 

Next they'll have 'Made in China' wands and Coca Cola sponsored Quidditch Robes.
