Liiiiitle bit of a meta update here. Since last month's post went up, I got hired as a full time teacher. Being a mid-year hire, it's kinda a pain in the rear to find anything resembling free time. (In addition, I'm hosting a puzzle scavenger hunt over on r/harrypotter this month, and that kinda sucked up my time.)
All of those are excuses to say...I don't have a fic picked out for February.
THAT BEING SAID!
I'm opening this up for a free-for-all discussion. What fic are you reading/have read/can't stop thinking about (that is complete) that you want to have a discussion about?
A random idea came to my mind after seeing this post
If Hermione hadn't been saved by Harry (and Ron but as he's the cause of the problem... meh), she would most likely have died just like Myrtle.
A muggleborn killed by a magical beast controlled by Voldemort (even if by proxy here) in the toilets in which the said which was crying after some mean comments from a classmate. Another in the wrong place at the wrong time. Would another set of toilets have been haunted by yet another innocent one?
And if Harry had been there in Tom's time, would he have saved Myrtle in one way or another? Is there a fic about this?
There are so many Slytherin Harry fics, I was wondering if there are any good gryffindor Draco pics. Maybe sort of a Sirius situation there. I've read Innocent by MaurauderLover7 linkffn(9469064) and its sequels. Draco's characterization and growth throughout the series is very well written. So I was hoping for something similar.
Just to be clear I'm looking for Draco in Gryffindor with the trio, ideally befriending them. No slash please, nothing against it, just not my cup of tea
Edit: Ideally no bashing either, but if its well done then go for it
Harry one day getting sick of Snape saying "YOU'RE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER" with insert random insult here, so he decides to be just that. Pranking Snivellus, coming up with some insulting name similar for Malfoy, ridiculously over the top Pranks galore.
Does anyone know of any good John Wick crossover stories, preferably on the long side?
It’s my favorite type of HP fanfiction and I’m looking for some good ones. Feel free to recommend your own fic!
After reading this post I really wanted to read another Alternate!Trio fanfiction. It's really interesting to see how Harry interacts with another character, the other characters' growth, how Ron/Hermione grow without Harry, and how the canon plots diverge.
Some good Alternate!Trio that I remember reading is HarryChoCedric in What You Leave Behind, HarryJustinMorag in For The Right Price, HarryDeanHermione in The Perils of Innocence, HarryTheoNeville in Prince of Slytherin, and even HarryOC in Knowledge is Power.
So, hit me with your best Alternate!Trio fanfic!
It doesn't have to be a three person group, as long as Harry ends up being best friend with a different person other than Ron/Hermione. I only wanted the group to have a frendship as close as HarryRonHermione in canon.
I remember after Dumbledore leaves the twins raise absolute hell. But other than that, do they do any pranks that are mentioned in the books?
Also, why do fanfic writers always write super elaborate pranks that the Marauders pull? I don't remember any actual text evidence for them specifically pulling pranks. Although if someone can show me something, I will stand corrected.
I'm pretty sure James and Sirius just hexed people for shits and giggles. And just duelled Snape a lot. And they explored the castle/wilderness a lot after becoming animagi.
Harry Potter was having tea with Professor McGonagall when it happened.
"Professor?" Harry asked, "are you well? You look a bit... pale."
McGonagall looked down at her hands. They were shifting before her very eyes, wrinkles growing, disappearing then appearing once more. "Perhaps I should see Madam Pomfrey," she said, "it's like my body doesn't know how old it is."
At that moment, Hermione burst through the door - or at least, it looked like Hermione at first, but then her skin turned black, before switching back to white again. Back and forth it went, white to black to white, like a racial strobe light.
"Harry!" she said, panic in her voice, "what's happening?"
Harry grimaced. "It is as we feared. The Author has returned."
Just no slash or H/Hr.
EDIT: Just because all i've watched are the OT, doesn't mean I wouldn't read about the other parts of the fanon, I just meant to explain what I know of the franchise, which is pretty much nothing. I did play a bit of The Old Republic MMO though, if it helps.
Best fics that follow Harry in a crossover. Avengers, DC, etc. No Anime as I know nothing about them and don't to read them.
Currently reading Wand and Shield so don't recommend that.
This fic is an AU where Harry is taken away to be raised by Dumbledore in secret after a short time with the Dursleys. Dumbledore leaves his public positions from the time he takes Harry away to the time Harry starts at Hogwarts. Dumbledore doesn't give him magical commando training, but he does have a large influence as Harry's sole parent and companion, and Harry in this fic seems to be much more well-read and adjusted to the Wizarding World. He wasn't allowed a wand before Hogwarts shopping, but he was allowed to read any books Dumbledore had, brew simple potions under supervision and to explore the magical forest around their home.
What I'd like more of is fics with any of the following:
Harry gaining a guardian who truly cares for him and provides for him a happy childhood. If he is better prepared for Hogwarts and Voldemort by the end of this period without being too implausible, bonus points.
Prose that deals with the sorrow and fear that comes with loving a child or parental figure so much.
No bashing, but also no "Death Eaters were right all along" bullshit.

Not the type where there's one big time jump back and then the MC has to do everything again, but one where the MC does small jumps with a tine turner all the time and constantly runs into his past and future selves.
So far the only fic I've read where that type of thing happens is HPMoR with the "you fix my sleep disorder with a Time Machine?" scene
I’m not in the mood to read some long saga, just something accurate to the Marauders era.
I don't care about pairings or anything else. I am tired of fics that-
Are abandoned in the second year
Spend 300k words per year
Have unrealistic genius 12 year olds I find it a slog to try and get through the early years of Hogwarts when reading most fics. Alternatively, I will take any fics that move past the early years at a quick pace. For example I enjoyed linkffn(4745329). Thanks
I'm searching a specific fanfiction but just can't find it :( it was posted on Fanfiction.net I think
I remember that Harry comes into a water creature inheritance and needs to take a partner/mate. Plus Snape was a vampire in this one and did go a little crazy. In the end he chooses neville, cuz he is a water creature too. Please if anyone know what Titel this fiction is or can post a link I would be super happy :)
Hi I am looking for a fic where its harry/hermione & neville/luna
And sadly the only scene I remember with any clarity is the one where they’re trying to rescue alice and frank from their trapped minds using legilimency or occlumency. Frank is fishing (?) on a pier but alice is amongst shriveled shrubs and flowers? Then the youngsters chant a spell alongst the lines of...”by the power invested... life and death” THANK YOU! Would be very grateful to find this fic again
For that matter how did he and Harry go from there to London the morning after?
I read this one fic in which Harry storms Hogwarts and defeats everyone but Dumbledore. Dumbledore managed to protect Tom Riddle. Only reason I dropped it was because it was a Tom centered fic which I don't enjoy...
So is there another fic where Harry travels back and actually becomes badass? I don't want an emotional fic where Harry adopts Tom and stuff, just a badass Harry recking everyone.
Harry cooks looks like Gordon Ramsey. He's chiseled like Adonis. Flies like a pro. Flirts like Lockhart. All the girls want him and the guys hate him.
But he doesn't hump everything with legs. Pre or post war. Doesn't even need to include a war.
Completed fics prefered. Any fic recommendations that match?
You know the ones. Helper goblins, three chapters of titles and property, 11yo Slytherins practicing for their James Bond debut, pearl-clutching Wizengamot falling all over themselves after Dumbledore's heinous crimes are revealed to the nation.
Required: complete and in English.
Bonus points if decently written (will legit throw my phone after reading "ravens-wing hair" and "avada orbs" ... or any orb-like reference to human/animal eyes for that matter). Smut optional. Romance optional. No preferred ships.
Seen it recommended a ton here so started reading it and got to about 3rd year and...wow...wow I hate it.
It's everything wrong with moviecanon Hermione ramped up to 1000, like she's given other characters big moments, is easily the most powerful person in the universe and is given these really dumb thoughts that are clearly there to imply she's a genius but we all know it's just the author inserting things in that they know form canon - like basically her guessing a bunch of future plot points/character motivations way earlier than they're revealed in canon.
There's next to no point in anyone else being there because you know Hermione will save the day even if it was Harry or Ron or Dumbledore in the original series.
The maths bit I liked and honestly most other characters are really well done but Hermione is just so unbelievably annoying I can't continue with it.
What are pics that have the Haphne romance end up badly with a massive argument, that has Daphne become angry at herself for screwing up and strive to make it up to Harry for?
I am curious because I watched Crimes of Grindelwald a few days ago, and one of my favorite things about the movie was the Newt/Leta sub-plot.
Hey guys,
I know I will not make many friends by saying it, but I'd like some fanfictions where Ron dies (the earlier the better!) and forces both Hermione and Harry to grow up faster and face up to the reality that they could be killed, too and thus have to prepare (or leave, that's ok, too!)!
Yes, poor Ron but seriously, him dying is a prime character growth opportunity (same if you would kill Hermione, but I like her too much - without putting her an a pedestal, her superior attitude, bossyness etc. often piss me off, like a lot of the fandom does ("Smartest with of her age!" - Yeah, how about no? Fred and George are way more creative, same for the Marauders! Hell, she never even tries to become an animgus, despite the fact that her idol, McGonagall, being one!)
So, help? ;)
Also some "conditions":
So I read the first paragraph this fic yesterday, and I think it was recced on here recently somewhere, but I combed through all of Fanfiction Bot's comments and couldn't find it. So here's what I remember about it:
-It was on Fanfiction.net
-It began with Percival Dumbledore I believe talking about muggles attacking his daughter, Arianna. The ministry tells him they are unable to do anything as they are muggles and only "children" (15 or 14 years).
-The 'Knights of Walpurgis' offer Percival Dumbledore, with Malfoy (not sure of first name) telling Percival Dumbledore that if he joins, Percival will be able to get justice of Arianna. Percival rejects his offer, and Malfoy get mad and leaves.
-After his father rejects Malfoy, Albus (he's still a child) demands to know why his father didn't go with Malfoy when the Ministry refused to punish the muggles. Percival replies something along the lines of "work with a Malfoy/ being indebted to them? Never!"
