I need help finding a oneshot I read some time ago.

It had a vague backstory with Harry somehow dying, which drove Hermione to begin researching a Dresden Files-style bloodline curse designed to wipe out all the purebloods. Her notes were hidden within a polarized mirror at 12 Grimmauld Place, which was discovered by Draco, who served as the POV character. Think it ended around that revelation, possibly being part of a ficlet collection.

Might've been on DLP, but searching keyword combinations has been futile. Probably improperly listed somewhere on ff.net.

 

Are there any stories that focus on a Defense professor struggling against or trying to escape the curse on the position?

 

DLP fic where Harry sets up a detective agency after canon?

But the detective agency was more odd jobs than anything.

From what I remember Pansy was his secretary/helper (or maybe Daphne, to me those might as well be the same person), Abeforth was involved to some degree and one of Harry's early driving forces was finding someone that would teach him carpentry.

I think the name involved 1-800 somehow, but that awful time travel fic is all that comes up when I try to search.

Can't remember the author, but I'm sure it was on WBA as well.

Any ideas?

 

There's 0800-Rent-A-Hero, which is a "summoned into another HP world", but isn't the story you're after, just the similar title. I do remember the fic you're talking about

Or could maybe be False Pretenses. Harry/Pansy, PI Harry?

 

Sounds like Wizard for Hire, by Dark Syaoran https://forums.darklordpotter.net/threads/wizard-for-hire-snippets-by-dark-syaoran-m.19411/

 

Yet that's the one. I was so sure it had 1-800 in the title.

Thanks

 

There is this fic I've been feeling nostalgic about and would like to read again. Sadly, I can't remember the name. I forgot to save it because I was in a rush to read a Harry Potter fic... Vindico something?

Now this fic I'm searching for is a Harry Potter/X-Men crossover fic. In it Xavier has a secret wife and child. His child caused havoc with his powers and the X-Men and Harry were alerted.

I think Harry also fought red guardian in this fic.
