"You two did fucking what?" Voldemort asked, spoon still frozen from where he'd been stirring his tea.

"Was the point of the raid not to express our anger and rage like you said, my Lord?" Bellatrix asked in confusion as she and Lucius looked at each other.

"When I said expression your anger and rage, I meant vandalize something, commit arson, kick a baby, not be a couple of fucking psychopaths! I'm running for Minister in a few weeks, do you know what this will do to my support if this gets out!?" Voldemort demanded.

"Perhaps we should do a hate crime instead next time." Lucius said as Bellatrix frowned "It's not really a hate crime if I enjoy it, is it?"

Voldemort banged his head against the table in frustration

She told that twmffat Salazar that his stupid snake needed a muzzle, but did he listen? No. And godric just thought it was great fun, a fearsome beast to protect their home. Boys! Not that Rowena was any better, any chance to study the rare creature and she was happy. No it was only her who had a problem with it.

She had always been the odd one out, Higwart’s first master of witchcraft while the boys excelled in wizardry and Rowena was the scholar of the esoteric. But food had to get made, potions brewed, cloth woven, and clothes sewn. And they knew better than to anger her overly much. Slytherin at least consented to keeping the blasted thing in his chambers below the school rather than out on the grounds.

Snape eyes went wide as he stepped away from the prisoners, Dumbledore's eyes turning cold as the air seemed to dropped 30 degrees in one second

"What did you say?" He asked

Harry Potter never expected his life to be like this. Living in the cupboard under the stairs until he was five, then given to a weird organization that had a bunch of kids around his age kept under lock and key.

He didn't know much about the organization, or the weird symbol of a black skull with tentacles with a red background.

He grew close to the kids in no time due to being around them, and only them, constantly. The first was a boy named Theodore Nott, a girl named Sophia Malfoy, a bushy haired girl named Hermione Granger, a redhead girl named Ginny Weasley, and a brown haired boy named Neville Longbottom.

Harry quickly learned that magic was real as a tutor would come in and instruct them for several hours a day.

This went on until he was twelve, the facility they had been kept at attacked, Harry and his group making a bid to escape.

They spent the next two years constantly moving, stealing to survive and living in tents.

Then, on his fifteenth birthday, after the Avengers saved New York from an alien invasion, the group decided to start posing as a 'mutant' group, taking small jobs for pay, Harry growing close with both Sophia and Ginny.

None of them they were about to be on the radar of three massive groups

I want to know the fics that got you shipping the most unexpected characters together and why? Im trying to broaden my horizons and what better way to do that then reddit.

I’d like a fan fic that takes place before fifth year where hasty actually knows what he’s doing at his trial or at least pretends to know what he’s doing.

It can have time travel, no time travel, dumbledore bashing, or no dumbledore bashing. I’m pretty child but it’s hard to search for trial fics specifically.

I’m looking to write a fic that starts when Snape is a fifth year and I’m wondering how to go about it. I’ve always imagined that he was a petty person and a loner but his worse attributes that we see during the main series is because of trauma events like Lily dying and him knowing how he played a hand in it. What does everyone else think he would be like as a teen?

Peter Pettigrew, the absolute bastard that he is, is so criminally under loved in the HP community.

So, I’m looking for some fics that make him the main focus. Preferably canon compliant, but it doesn’t haaaave to be. So long as he’s his little imperfect self then I’m happy to read it :)

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi everyone! I've been posting Prince of Ashes on AO3 since June and I'd love to share it here.

Fic Summary:

Harry Potter died in the graveyard at Little Hangleton.

Years later, magical Europe is at war, and a figure known only as the Prince has become the most feared weapon of Voldemort's regime.

As the resistance fights to survive, Hermione Granger begins to investigate the man behind the legend — unaware that ghosts of the past still walk among the living.

AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/86832211/chapters/229859246

One of my favourite fics is Son of Suns by blank101, a Star Wars trilogy where Luke is captured after Bespin and the Emperor turns him. Prince of Ashes started from a similar idea: what if Voldemort had kept Harry after the graveyard? It follows the Prince, the weapon the regime spent years building, and Hermione, the one person who never accepted that Harry was gone. It's a smaller, more personal story than the trilogy. The story is told mostly from Harry's, Hermione's and Ron's points of view.

Pairing: Harry/Hermione

Happy reading!

Tom riddle first encounter with Dumbledore destroy his trust in the wizarding world ,as the headmaster burn his belongings to "show what happens to mudbloods who don’t know their place " .

Despite that ,Riddle accept the invitation to Hogwarts ,ending up a model student in Slytherin.Being charismatic and talented ,he manage to crush his wannabee bullies and over the year cultivate a small group of friends and even convincing them of blood purism foolishness .He even gets a reward for finding the Heir of Slytherin ,Hagrid ,whose acromentula murdered Myrtle Warren . But even his excellent grades do not open him the door of the Ministry .

The jobs are reserved for purebloods ,with half-bloods or those of lower purity never hired .He end up with no choice than borgins and burke ,simmering in bitterness at his wasted potential ,before deciding to hone his craft and try again ,when his mastery shall be obvious .

But Dumbledore ,having became Headmaster ,refuse him the job of DADA teacher despite him having gone above and beyond the stated requirements ,only to engage a pureblood moron whose father backed Dumbledore ascension to supreme mugwump .

Furious ,Tom become obsessed by ending the blood purist hold on wizarding england and their blood apartheid .With the help of his school friends ,he forms a terrorist cell to enforce muggleborns and half-blood rights .

The war take a decade,but the decadent Ministry slowly fold ,even pushing a desperate dumbledore to make his own counter-terrorist group.Riddle even receive Elixir of life from the secretly sympathetic Nicholas Flamel .

But Snape arrive with a disastrous prophecy .Of a boy ,who shall be able to rival him,and grow up with the potential and the desire to destroy the muggles thanks to an engineered nuclear war ,and who can only fall from from his hand . Seeing the boy as too dangerous to be allowed to live ,Riddle immediately does his utmost to find the scourge house .

Thanks to Pettigrew ,that ends up being trivial.Riddle bust down the door of Godric Hollow ,kill James Potter ,stun Lily as Snape had asked and sling a killing curse at Potter ...only for the curse to rebound and only escaping death (becoming a wraith instead)thanks to the elixir of life ,while Lily die due to the explosion .

Basically Snapes acts like a unintentional wingman or shows favouritism due to him seeing the mc’s relationship like his and Lily’s before their fallout

Greetings everyone!

I am curious to hear what personal Head-canons, or pieces of World-building, we have come up with for the Wizarding World’s urban centres.

Enchanted cities of magic shrouded from muggle eyes; Existing cities with hidden communities of wizardkind folded between the streets and alleys; Portkey Hubs for domestic and International Travel like Victorian train stations or modern airports; Buried settlements lost to muggle history still inhabited beneath muggle metropolises; Taverns and inns which service all manner of magical and mythical beings; Concealed Owlpost Offices on rooftops only accessible by enchanted fire escapes; Obscured islands for safe harbour aboard Wizarding sea vessels; Underground bazaars dealing in illicit potions and merchandise you cannot find in your average Diagon Alley!

Let’s hear about the tiny details that flesh out the every-day habits of a wizard living in a city!

Thank you!
Mnêmo

Anyone have any recommendations to read fics from this trope? I’ve read a few like Dear Voldie on ao3 but I’d love some more if anyone has any recs!!!

hi! I'm wondering if they're popular around here. stories how they might be an arranged marriage but they grew to love each other. something like lucius proved himself to cissa to be decent (modern au). basically, romantic lucius and narcissa.

i would often see glimpses of them in dramione fics, drarry fics, jegulus fics, where the love is reciprocated.

just wanted to see if u have recomms for this pair.

No SI’s into anyone under 18 period. They also must be able to make a large impact on the story as a whole. No SI’s into characters like Remus, since such characters are limited due to the affliction, and biased laws surrounding them. Apart from that, what have you got?

Hi, does anyone have the link or pdf/epub for the fic " The Guardian Angel of Narcissa Black"? I tried looking it at the website but its not showing up🥲🥲

As ever, this is a mostly pre-Harmony story. However they've now made contact!

Hopefully this link works. If not my Ao3 Handle is DefiantDreamlandStudent.

I recently found a fic on Ao3 with this primise and it interested me enough i wanna read more fics like it.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/92261336/chapters/245859791

(Unlike in this fic, I would prefer him to eiter keep his magic, at least partially. Or to get access to the power system/magic of the world he's now in.)

It might just be me that doesn't know where to look or there is nothing to look for. I'm hoping that you have any fic recs of harry potter and hunger games crossover? pretty please.

What are some inventions or technological advances that leading Muggle scientists or experts in their field could bring to life if they were some random muggleborn in Harry’s year?

This is a pretty common trope over the years, but I haven’t seen it much lately and was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

Here’s a few examples I have seen or would like to see:

A Network engineer could setup a phone like experience with mirrors that allow to call specific mirrors, rather than needing a different pair with each contact.

Hoverboards could be much cooler than brooms.

Go Pro experience with a Snitch-like device that flies around the wearer, could have made the Triwizard Tasks a much more immersive experience for the spectators.

Can anyone think of similar ideas? Ideally something that could be accomplished or at least prototyped by a single person in less than a decade?

I finished my first fiction. All six chapters are out now, I'd be really grateful for any feedback. I worked really hard on it and had a lot of fun which is the main thing.

Appreciate it!!! 🙏🏼🐢🧙🏻‍♀️🎨🙌🏻

As a few of the fics I was reading of their’s are now hidden

Já tinha lido essa fanfic mas não lembro onde e nem qual o nome, lembro que o Harry era só um bruxo normal, que gostava de lobisomens, aí ele vai para uma entrevista para ser embaixador ou algo assim, acho que ele foi chamado pq era compatível com o fenrir que é o alfa deles. Só lembro disso, sei que adorei essa fanfic que reli umas 3 vezes, qualquer fanfic nesse estilo eu também estaria interessada, muito obrigada😊

Hello! Avid fanfic reader, in after something new to read. Does anyone have any recs for wither Harry or Hermione growing up with a mafia type family/connected in ways Dumbles would discount as a threat?

Ive already read the one where Harry is Yakuza type and starts in 4th year (its title is a number i believ). But ideally I want one where he starts first year

hi everyone! i’m trying to get into the marauders era, but i'm super lost on what to read and could really use some recs.

basically, i'm looking for something that feels very close to the original harry potter books in terms of writing style and general vibe, just set in their school years.

i've heard so much about all the young dudes (and as a massive david bowie fan, the 70s rock aesthetic really calls to me), but i'm kind of hesitant because i've read it gets really heavy/depressing and that the characters feel a bit out-of-character (especially remus). i prefer characters to stay as close to canon as possible

i personally love sirius, he’s got that rebellious, cynical, rock-and-roll edge. if any fic captures that (or mentions bowie/70s music organically) without totally breaking canon, that's a huge plus. wolfstar is totally fine by me too, not a strict requirement, but i don't mind it.

also, has anyone read pengiwen’s marauders series (the one that goes year by year)? are they actually worth the massive time investment?

thanks in advance! 🖤
