Someone should force nonjon to write this.

 

*Claps* Great idea. You actually came up with a beleiveable way to do it, opposed to just say you WANT a fic like that.

Still a lot of issues to work out.
- Cedric? (Maybe he's in it too)
- Crouch Jnr, getting interogated under Veritraserum?
- How can Harry act Voldemort, if Voldemort duels Dumbledore in front of Harry at the end of OOTP?
- Whole bunch of 'death eaters' getting captured in DOM?
- Mr. Weasley getting attacked by Nagini?
..I'm sure there are more, we'll see how this thread develops further.

 

Well for OOTP voldie/dumbles duel. Harry is mostly just left imobile. I've seen remote controll probes on Mars. Why not have a remote controlled dummy that he mind links to and controlls w/ his thoughts. Also the possesion thing could have easily faked it.

 

I'm pretty sure I can track down Nonjon's place of residence through his IP...

Anyone want to volunteer "helping" him to write it?

 

I like this idea but I'm having trouble visualizing it as a long chaptered story.

Do we the readers know it's all a hoax? Because if we don't, then when it happens it becomes almost disappointing sucking out the main tension between enemies that's carried canon, and hypothetically the story so far. Unless you don't make it about Harry vs. Voldemort before the 'twist'.

And if we do know it's all a hoax, then where's the conflict? The difficulty?

I'd love to see this work. It's just you'd almost have to demonize the wizarding world and the masses and make the fic about Harry's oppression more than the Dark Lord versus Harry. Given the twist to it, and how much everything else changes knowing that twist, I see this more as a long in-depth one shot that a layered, WIP chaptered story. At the least it needs to be essentially written and finished before posting. Trying to write as you go would be too easy to get confused and blocked.

Why me? Lord Ravenclaw posted the idea. How'd I get dragged into this one?

 

Exactly! Like Ruskbyte's one-shot, it would almost work best sort of re-telling canon, close to the way it happened but with the slight changes to make the rest of this work. Like Cedric's presence, or the battle in the atrium. Just to see Harry going through the motions of canon, but hearing some of his own thoughts from a different perspective. Like how Ruskbyte's showed Harry faking his awe at the sight of Hogwarts, or showing no fear to Voldie. This could have Harry faking his way through occlumency lessons with Snape, engineering Snape to kill Dumbledore for him, Lucius agreeing with Harry that they need to test Draco's mettle (his assignment for HBP), etc...

I know using Snape on the side of the Harry Conspiracy would make it easier, but I just don't think I'd have any interest in reading that if you did. Maybe Voldie really existed first year, but by fourth Harry discovers that he too has power over the dark mark. Proposes his plan to some Death Eaters, maybe with Sirius' help. And the DoM gets planned and choreographed, but Sirius has been iffy, so they decide to end him then. Explaining that 'brief look of surprise' from his playful fighting with Trixie. Maybe the big twist comes out showing fourth year's ritual wasn't about resurrecting Voldie, but how to extinguish Voldie's spirit and thereby granting Harry the complete control of the mark and the marked people. Pettigrew in his usual role of traitor, only this time he's traitor to the disfigured baby Voldie.

 

I too would love to see this written but it would require immense skill, planning and intricate detail to pull it off. This is a challenge not to be taken by the faint-hearted but rather those who have done everything else and are running out of challenging plots to write.

Good luck to anyone who attempts it, it's like the everest of Harry Potter fanfiction.

 

Controlling the Dark Mark can be done using the scar - it linked Harry to Voldemort - why not link Harry to all his Death Eaters too?

 

1. Cedric could be in on it or he could be killed.
2. From my understanding, Veritrserum forces the person in question to tell the truth as they believe it to be, so Crouch jr. will just have to believe that Voldy is returning.
3. Someone could become harry through Polyjuice or maybe a Metamorphamagus.
4. DE's are still DE's, not all of them need to no Voldy's not back.
5. Harry is a Parseltounge and Nagini will probably obey him..
As for who should write it, sounds perfect for Master Slytherin or maybe Nonjon or Roarsh's(?) Blot if they can try and write something serious..

 

Polyjuice won't work, but Metamorphmagus's will...

A good excuse to set up a Harry/Tonks.

 

i may be in the minority on this site but i don't like the h/tonks, she just doesn't work for me, but maybe a h/tonks friendship would be good...

 

*spits out drink*

Friendship?

With Tonks?

Ron and Hermione are enough friends to last him a lifetime.

 

This would be quite hard to pull off, if you do it in a Oceans 11 style where you dont know what's going until the end.

 

I don't think it'd be that hard to pull off. Certainly not what I'd call an "everest" of fan fiction.

A real fun way to do it would be Harry being interviewed by the cops/aurors a la Keyser Soze, and then at the end sort of run through all the deceptions and maneuvers through out. Maybe all the former Death Eaters ended up dead, so the DMLE inquired more about the defeat of 'Voldemort' from Harry. And he disappears with everything. (For some reason I want him to steal the Hogwarts Library too, right under the portraits and house elves noses.) Of course as fun as that would be, it's straying way far from the original challenge.

And personally, I don't think you need to kill Ron and Hermy as dead weight. They're the perfect childhood innocence alibi. Just completely use and manipulate them. They can serve a good purpose. And it adds to the deception while taking away from the 'evil' that killing them would be.

 

Sniff... please don't kill hermione and ron. Ron could be the perfect culprit if everything falls down, blaming his desire for glory, and hermione... well, she could be the white hat, believing in harry and doing the "light" paperwork. In fact, you could even make hermione into some kind of enemy in hte later part of hte fics, if you decide to make it loner, haing her realise harry's decet and making a powerful!hermione in her old age (eighty years later or so).
