This actually makes me wonder if it is even possible to do that. We saw how completely messed up his soul looked at the end of DH. His soul is so damaged that I'm not sure you could call it back and if you did it would most likely be useless and in pain. There has to be a reason nobody would ever do that to their soul beyond what happens in life.

 

Harry Potter time travels to a future in which a fanatic cult uses his legacy to carry out terroristic attacks on Wizarding Britain, with the goal of breaking the Statute of Secrecy. Horrified by what they've done in his name, Harry has to stop them before all of wizardom is exposed to a Gattaca-esque world.

 

Dark Lord Ron.

If you're going to make him evil, why not go all the way?

Bonus points if he actually succeeds because of his experience with fighting Voldemort.

 

The Dark Lord laughs as the professional Quidditch players fly around him, trying not to get too close. They are exceedingly careful not to throw the Quaffle through the rings behind him; after watching the Irish chaser Winston get incinerated by Bikoc, the Dark Lord's pet dragon, simply for scoring a reasonably difficult shot, the other players are too afraid to risk scoring on the redheaded menace that's holding their family hostage. Women and children watch from the stands as orange-garbed guards stare imperiously down at them from the back of thestrals, as if begging any of them
to try and flee.

A sallow-faced, dark-haired prisoner speaks up from the far end of the pitch. Still clad in his 1994 Quidditch World Cup Runner-up jersey he had been forced to wear when he was dragged into his cell, Viktor Krum mutters miserably in broken English, "It was one kiss. It's not like I fucked his sister!"

Beside him, a similarly pale and grim prisoner nods while staring intensely at the game happening above them, "Just shut up and enjoy the game, would you?"

 

Brings new meaning to "Weasley is Our King".

 

So in many cliche-terribad-fanfics people of the wizarding world learn about the Dursleys and Harry's childhood. Outrage follows, including such things as trying to take him away from Privet Drive, etc.

But I do wonder, what would happen if someone released information about Harry's life to the wizarding public, prior to his First Hogwarts Year?

Said information would include:

- That his relatives are muggles who hate magic and think it evil and unnatural.
- That Harry only learned about magic when his Hogwarts letter arrived.
- That he lived in a cupboard most of his life.
- That he was bullied by his cousin and was not loved by his aunt and uncle.

Let's put fanon aside and not invent such idiocies like physical abuse or starvation.

I'm curious what would the reactions be? Surely the Daily Prophet would make a sensational article, perhaps some people would indeed try to have Harry taken from the muggles.

 

Dumbledore would obliviate the entire population, obviously.

 

In Second Year the news that Harry's a Parselmouth spreads beyond Hogwarts and incites a measure of panic in the wizarding world. Parents demand that something is done and Fudge feels that Harry must be taken into Ministry custody for questioning.

Dumbledore accompanies him during the interview (which takes place at Hogwarts), providing a strenuous defence against the accusations and finally ending it when Madam Umbridge becomes overly aggressive. Fudge declares that Harry will be taken into protective custody, though its unclear whether its to protect him from danger or protect the wizarding world from him. Lucius Malfoy, as a Hogwarts Governor, will supervise the custody to ensure Harry's fairly treated. Dumbledore cannot fulfil this function as the Board has just removed him.

A verbal confrontation quickly turns violent and ends with everyone but Dumbledore and Harry unconscious.

The pair, now wanted fugitives, must flee Hogwarts. Dumbledore decides to search for Voldemort's spirit since his efforts at finding the threat within the school have failed.

Stuff happens, Harry learns lots of cool magic and forms a very strong relationship with Dumbledore but their attempt to find Voldemort's spirit ends with them barely escaping a trap set by some of Grindelwald's old supporters.

They return to Hogwarts when news reaches them that Ginny has disappeared. Harry takes the opportunity to visit Hermione, finding her clue, as in canon, and he, Dumbledore and Snape proceed into the Chamber while the rest of the professors evacuate the students to Hogsmeade.

There's a fight in the Chamber - Dumbledore vs basilisk and Harry and Snape vs Shade-Riddle.

Ginny survives, Dumbledore's reinstated, Grindelwald's last surviving supporter decides to find Voldemort, Harry returns to Hogwarts and becomes aware of the planning for the Triwizard Tournament as Dumbledore's apprentice.

Harry/Fleur?

 

The magical creatures that the ministry classifies as beings and some that technically are beings but refuse to be classified as such collectively decide that it actually benefits them more in the longterm to break the statute of secrecy than continue to uphold it.

This happens after the events of book seven and begins almost immediately after the epilogue. Resulting in a civil war breaking out in the magical world while the casts offspring are at Hogwarts.

 

Over the last week, I've been mulling over the idea of a crossover between Harry Potter and The Broken Empire by Mark Lawrence. It would be Harry Potter being born into that world with the PotterVerse’s specific brand of magic and Harry having to deal with being truly unique in a strange medieval post-apocalyptic land that sits atop The Builders’ bones.

Harry Potter is born as one of the one hundred. He is descended from the line of The Steward as opposed to the line of The Emperor. He has the features for it, so it’s an easy fit. That means a thin blood relation to families like the Ancraths and not the Kendals.

Harry is not like Jorg, his father isn’t manipulative and evil bastard. The man cares for his son and that shows in his upbringing and how he see the world. As a second son he wants to be the hand that makes his brother’s dreams a reality.

At the tender age of eleven, his magic begins to truly manifest in series of strange and perplexing events. It is wild and uncontrollable and word filters out slowly about the magic prince. Soon it spreads to interested parties like Sagious, Skilfar and The Blue Lady. The Blue Lady seeing a potential adversary in the future seeks to snuff him out rather than ally with him like she did with The Dead King. The attacks leaves his immediate family dead and him the sole heirs to his father’s lands and more importantly his seat at congression.

This tragedy acts as a foci for Harry’s magic giving him some control in the form of crude but practical magic. He realises that it flows through him like a conduit and that he need a tool let it out properly, a wand. His new found skill and other events in the background stop The Blue Lady from immediately trying to finish the job she started.

Harry set out to travel the world and learn all he can of The Builders. The hope being that their might be wand out there somewhere that he can use. It is during this time that Harry learns of the hidden hand that manipulates The Empire and vows to destroy it and The Blue Lady to avenge his family.

Years pass on Harrys quest. He learns a lot and eventually builds a wand. Over the years however magic has slowly started to change him and his perception of the world. He starts to believe that he is akin to the second coming of Jezu and builders and that it his God given rite to fix The Broken Empire.

With a God Complex and a wand he returns home to take his seat among The Hundred and eventually win the seat of Emperor.

The A.I network is running simulations in the background manipulating events and trying to find the best way to stave of the turning of The Wheel and destruction. Harry’s flagrant use of magic has speed up the end of the world. The barrier between reality and metaphysical is thinning at an accelerated rate.

As king of his lands he starts making overtures to other members of The One Hundred paying them visits giving them gift and so on.

After saving The Prince of Arrow from Sagious’ plot the two form an alliance with over a third of the votes need for someone to be crowned emperor.

Another power block forms around Jorg believing him to be the only who can stop The Dead King, this group is led by the Red Queen. This happens as a result of wheel turning faster and dead kings power surpassing that of his canon self.

Jallen is fucking about with Loki’s Key in God knows where.

Congression roles around and every member of The One Hundred is led their by the Golden Guard. It is during this time The Lady Blue makes her play. In a display of true power Harry stops it and soon after made Emperor. At this time the A.I Networks decides Harry is too dangerous and will not stop using his power and turning the wheel. They decide to use The Builder Sun below the heart of the Empire to kill Harry and The One Hundred.

Harry cast the strongest fucking Protego ever enveloping the city and saving everyone from the nuclear explosion.

The wheel spins faster still and the work breaks as a result of his actions. A ton of strange shit start happening, a ton of Elderitch shit.

The laws of reality are breaking down due to the contradicting will of mankind and its various organisations. It is in short: The Second Apocalypse. New lands begin to form based on various faiths and cultures around the world for example: The Roma churches version of heaven and hell, The Deadlands.

It’s only Harry’s will as Emperor that stabilises this patchwork mess.

And the story would end there with an imperial decree forcing unity among The Hundred led under Harry in this new and strange world.

 

So I wrote this way back in 2012. And I have no idea where I was going with this. I don't remember a thing about it.

Hopefully someone will be able to make use of this.

At first I thougt it was some sort of "Avoid all the usual tropes" fanfic. Then I suspected a Time-Travelling Voldemort supplanting himself. But after the thing with the Narcissas... I don't know.
Your mind works in strange and interesting ways, Xandrel.

 

That's what notes are for, you utter bastard. Now I can't stop thinking about that riddle. I thought the "Twos" was about two dimension travelers and their counterparts in this story, but that doesn't really concerns Dumbledore or Voldemort.

 

I may be wrong, but I think I remember what was the idea here.

I think there were two time travelers from the future attempting to change things. However, they were enemies and working against each other.

Now, going back in time that far is a BAD THING (read Pottermore on Time Turners) as it can do damage to time itself.

You can see some clues why: Prophecies in the Department of Mysteries are suddenly destroyed, Time Turners stop working.

I think that was also the reason for the Red-Header Narcissa Lestrange.

Time is falling apart the longer the time travelers act in the past.

Narcissa Lestrange was from a Alternate Universe and was randomly transported against her will to this world.

Now, if I continued this, I would have more chaos happen, like more people being sent to and from alternate universes, time changing speed in many places around the world, random alterations to the world (like suddenly a building is standing backwards).

Eventually the time travelers would realize what is happening and would try to stop it.

EDIT: But then again, the bit on Pottermore about time turners was written after 2012, so who the fuck knows anymore. Maybe I came up with time being damaged independently.

 

I had this idea for a more Quidditch oriented story. Would probably change the rules of the game first, maybe make the snitch worth only 50 points or so, might fix the Seeker wins 95% of the games thing that's going on, but not too clear on that.

Anyway, main point would be, after all that's said and done with the plot, Harry wants to play Quidditch first, instead of becoming an Auror. So, he has done a bit of looking into various teams and is considering joining Oliver Wood's team. Wizards being wizards, they have tryouts and signings of all teams at once, in one area for a week or so. Harry goes there, hoping to find Oliver but gets kinda drafted/pulled into a relatively weak team. I'm undecided if that team is a completely new one or just a pre-established weaker one like Chudley Cannons.

It would definitely have a sports anime feel to it. In fact, team leader would be heavily inspired by Hiruma from Eyeshield 21. Would think of having Katie Bell or one of the other two chaser in the team, just to have a familiar face. She probably tried the all female team and didn't got in or something like that.

Not much beyond that, I'm afraid. I just want to read something like that, trying to get through the league and whatnot. Harry's fame being something of a two edged sword character to it, one that gets them more recognition initially but also scrutiny. New rules make it harder for them, since otherwise, a good Seeker dominates the game too much, imo. Maybe new rules or something and Harry struggles with that.

Nothing planned out, never going to write this and I doubt it would be more than a guilty pleasure but I'm fond of sports anime and I think I would like one for HP.

 

I always thought the best way to fix Quidditch would be to make the seeker also take on chaser duties.

 

Think by allowing some spellcasting, things could be more exciting as well.

For example, certain things are magic proof or straight up not allowed. Like, all the various equipment in play can't be actively charmed or used magic on in general. Can't hex the brooms, clothes or players themselves. Can't do anything to the hoops. Can't use stuff like accio on the balls.

But you could use indirect stuff a lot. Like wind pushing stuff around, mist or smoke to blind people. Dunno what a good balance would be, but magic could add another layer to the game. You'd have to balance good athletes and good spellcasters, preferably having people who are good at both.

 

I just got this idea for a Xenocentric fic. Xenophilius Lovegood looses Luna during the war against Voldemort it drives him more insane then before. He then decides to live as a muggle and joins a new war where in an act of desperation ends up eating a little girl named Misha Lector.

 

We have numerous stories with Harry/Hermione/others turning into heirs of Founders/Merlin.

I'm pretty sure nobody wrote a story centered on Viktor Krum being a heir of Spartacus.
