    Post-Hogwarts, Harry takes the time to study the more intricate details behind magic. Along the way he delves into magic of the soul, and eventually astral projecting. It turns out ever since his brush with death in the forest, he has become more closely attuned to the dead, and he finds himself drawn toward the DMLE not as an auror, so much as an private investigator. He mostly helps solve murders in the muggle world that are committed by dark wizards. His unique talent is slipping his...

    Long Cool Woman in a Green Dress draft C(from an old monthly challenge prompt) Knockturn Alley shouldn't have felt so comfortable this late in the evening, but he found himself at ease as he walked along the well-tread path of his beat. His eyes passed over the bloody doorways, the runes half-scribbled, half-burned into the brickwork, the skulking figures who retreated from his line of sight as soon as they recognized the red of his Auror robes, and he only felt like laughing. So many...

    Bill took down the mummy in Hamunaptra. Charlie resealed Dracula in Romania at the turn of the millennium. Fred and George eliminated a rival magical cartel lord in the Congo. Ron (and maybe Bill in a more supportive role) helped restore El Dorado after the oathbreaking goblins secreted it away centuries ago. Percy (and Harry?) stopped Rasputin's revival in Siberia, and cleaned up the aftermath of Grindelwald's vampire supporters. That leaves Ginny, Arthur, and Molly to craft...

During their annual inspection, one Harry Potter, designated Head Auror, becomes embroiled in a murder plot as the whole module is sealed from further outside influence by automated safety measures.

    Alternative take: Harry finds his spirit bound to Byleth in the same way a certain someone already is. Cue 2 voices in Byleth's head arguing over tactics, supplying power-- what Harry brings to the table being less plot-breaking than rewinding time on the battlefield.

    LOL that just shows how long ago it has been since I've read the epilogue! Fixed, thanks. And I think I was aiming for some sort of dimension hopping thing with Albus, hence his reference to her being his favorite sister -- out of an untold multitude. The thing with Harry's shade via the Resurrection Stone is lost on me at this point though.

    [spoiler] So back in November I was trying to find a backdrop for my Ritual Magic submission. This is more or less what I came up with, but the whole shebang kind of petered out and went no further. To sum it up, Warlock kid accidentally figures out how to go Outside via the Potter books and eventually succumbs to that power. Dresden gives chase. They both arrive in Hogsmeade and the kid, obviously knowing this place better, slips away. Dresden can track him to roughly the Hogwarts grounds,...

A place that exemplified the properties that she believed those sorted into her Hogwarts house should hold, a place of great and terrible wisdom, trials, mental and occasionally physical tests to prove one was worthy of ascending through the floors. The prize at the end of the journey, supposedly, her diaries. Her treasures. The most important of all being her own portrait....

    Harry as Care of Magical Creatures professor. Pretty much an excuse to take field trips camping in exotic environments and teaching the older students how to survive, since they are by definition 'magical creatures' compared to muggles. Get some time in learning about the local magical wildlife they are supposed to be studying as well, but yeah.

    Harry takes over for Binns as History of Magic professor. The difference is that he uses his time at the Ministry to update the class; instead of just reading about events and being lectured on them, he works with some of the other teachers to create an "immersive memory event" based roughly off of Pensieve memories, in essence reenacting this particular battle, or that particular meeting, as if he and the students were actually there. It's based off of all of the relevant information he...

    Berserk/Harry Potter. Grindelwald delved deeply into arcane magic, and the Deathly Hallows were not the only outlet of his curiosity. After coming into the possession of a strange red egg-like relic, he begins to dream of terrible creatures. In time he comes to understand something from these horrifying visions, and in 1945, on the cusp of his defeat at the hands of Albus Dumbledore, Grindelwald invokes the powers-that-be to descend upon the world again; it just so happens to be that their...

    So I was idly thinking about Harry in Skyrim yesterday, and now I've moved on to Sirius. I figured he is the better character for a story of this nature-- he's older, he's already completed his Hogwarts education, he's rusty enough after languishing in Azkaban and then Grimmauld Place to need some work, but he is still a competent adult wizard overall. And better still, his animagus form is well suited to Skyrim. I was picturing a more humorous story than a fully serious one at this...

    Inspired by the Q1 prompt. Harry has become Death Incarnate. He arrives at a hospital late at night. He's supposed to bring a recently deceased child toward their hereafter, but monsters lurking in the shadows keep coming after them. It's not that hard for him to destroy the threat and carry the kid out. They reach the gates of heaven, they meet with the kid's older sibling there and he drops them off. Goes to have a chat with the angel in charge of the gates-- to exert what influence he can...

    Since I've been idling about in Westeros lately(in chief because I'm re-reading Clash of Kings), a disillusioned middle-aged(~30s) Harry Potter jumps ship from his world and lands at Dragonstone a few years before Jon Arryn is murdered. Mostly I want it to serve as a vehicle for Harry to change Stannis for the better(and the same of the Seven Kingdoms, even if it results in a rather more early division of loyalties and wars).

[spoiler] Regardless, I just think the entire notion of a wizard mucking about on set of something like Iron Chef or Chopped would be hilarious. Particularly if they run into another who had the same idea, wound up on the same set, and now they're forced to compete head to head.

    While it isn't exactly a terrible one, I don't see this going over well. For starters, even without learning about his Slytherin heritage, Tom Riddle was already pretty warped before Dumbledore found him at the orphanage. That kind of mentality I feel would not lend itself well to allying with muggleborns, and while I don't remember when exactly he did learn about his past, it seemed to be later in his school years than sooner, so whether the rest of the Slytherins would turn against him in...

I've no problem with fem!Harry or fem!Voldemort stories but doing that to Sirius is just breaking my brain right now. Putting that aside, my objection is mostly the age difference that was brought up elsewhere about Harry/Tonks, surely that is far worse with Harry/fem!Sirius when he's only in fourth year.

    Harry Potter meets Max Max. Muggle society goes boom, takes wizarding society out with it, albeit slower in the inevitable descent into anarchy. Nuclear fallout doesn't quite destroy magic but let's just handwave it and say it takes a hell of a lot of magic to keep the radiation and such from poisoning the entire world, and by the time that the story opens, very few areas and witches and wizards are still thriving. My thoughts for the story is that a mid-to-late twenties, maybe early...

    Had a thought to use this for something vaguely Potterverse related. Some poor schmucks in the Ministry get assigned to the Arctic Division for [reasons], maybe Harry and Ron for the bromance opportunities being stuck out there and unable to apparate out because it'll screw up whatever the isolation tests are. Maybe they got the short straw at the Auror office in their first year and have to endure the frosty hazing until the tests are done and the regular crews return. Just an idle idea.

We already know the Potter line now comes from Linfred the Potterer in the 1300s, and the Peverell line isn't far behind.
