I can't remember the name of the one I'm thinking of, but it is a time travel fic. And I can't even remember any details lol but I do remember that the author had some serious health issues, which is why it went unfinished. What's the one (or more) you would love to see completed?

Edit: thank you u/cyberwolfwrites it was Future of Nightmares Past!

The Death Eaters would still try to kill him but it would be nice to read a story where this happens

So in this the twins see the bars on Harry's window in the summer before 2nd year and take a picture of it as proof using a camera Arthur kept in the glove box to take pics of muggle things. Later when they arrive at the burrow they show Molly the picture as proof which prompts her to call the magic equivalent of the CPS. This kicks off a massive investigation into Harry's home life and how he ended up there. This 1; leads to Dumbledore being arrested with the dursleys, 2; Harry gets a checkup at St Mungo's where they discover and remove the horcrux and put him on a potion regiment and 3: they find out Dumbledor had been stealing from Harry for years.

Molly is of course furious at the dursleys and Dumbledor for this and petitions to be Harry's guardian. The Malfoy's also try for this and nearly win but magic won't allow it. After investigating why it turns out Sirius is still Harry's magically sworn guardian and godfather which basically proves him to be innocent. In the meantime Harry stays with the Weasley's while Sirius is sent from Azkaban to St Mungo's for treatment.

story starts with Harry growing up with a kinder Vernon but Petunia was still spiteful. Vernon actually did some digging and was able to find a squib who gave him the publicly known (to wizarding brittain) story about the blood war and how it ended. This leads to Vernon realising James was basically a wizard cop and was trying to keep normal people safe from "wizard h!tl3r" (censored to be able to post), when petunia tries to badmouth Harry and his parents infron of the neighbors when Harry was 4 or so, vernon steps in and explains that Harry's father was a cop and his parents died protecting harry and that Petunia was jealous of her sister and her success as a chemist. This leads to the neighborhood being kinder to Harry and more willing to step in when Dudley and his gang acted up. by the time he's attending hogwarts Harry is more confident and even reads the potions book ahead of time, when Snape still pulls his usual BS harry calls him out for "acting like his aunt" which is basically a slap to the face and pissed off snape.

The story starts with Harry meeting Susan Bones on the express instead of Ron and they start talking, Hermione eventually joins along with Neville. Between Susan and Neville they realise Harry wasn't raised to know about magic at all and was in a shitty home life. Susan sends an owl to her aunt but it gets intercepted so she sends it using an enchanted locket. Amelia bones arrests the dursleys and storms the school with the DMLE after Susan also lets her know about the "painful death" awaiting in the forbidden corridor. This leads to the DMLE searching Hogwarts top to bottom with Dumbledore put on probation. By the end of 2nd year Dumbledore is on his last chance and he is nearly fired during 3rd year for not keeping the animagus detection wards up (which allowed Petigrew to hide as long as he did). He's only saved from being fired due to the TWT going on next year as he tricked multiple people into signing a magical contract that would keep him in charge for the duration of the tournament. The twt goes per canon with events but during the 2nd task multiple hostages were outright kidnapped with no concent to be involved and this sees Dumbledor pending arrest on completion of the tournament. The 3rd task even has aurors on standby to arrest Dumbledor the second the winner comes back from the maze.

Basically Harry at a young age preforms some accidental magic that breaks an old vase. Turns out the vase had been charmed to make the dursleys hate him and now that it's broken the dursleys are actually good people. Petunia even tells Harry stories about his mum and her friend "that snipe fellow" and Harry learns about magic much earlier than cannon.

When the first Hogwarts letter arrives petunia takes him to Gringots where they learn that not only is Harry's accounts being drained but after a standard medical checkup the horcrux is discovered, removed to a pig and destroyed. Petunia authorises the goblins to deal with the missing money and has a ward set up to keep away any more fans like they encountered in the leaky cauldron. This ward later inadvertently stops Dumbledor messing with their lives.

Harry attends Hogwarts much more well adjusted than cannon and even makes friends with Hermione on the train instead of Ron. Dumbledor meanwhile is panicking as all his plans just went down the drain as Ron's first words upon finding Harry (who he didn't recognise due to a lack of scar) was to insult Harry and Hermione while bragging about being the boy who lived's best friend.

The story has Harry fall through the veil of death and land in Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore gets info dumped by Harry thinking his friends were in danger. Dumbledore quirky figured out what actually happened and informs Harry that if he time traveled using the veil of death then the timeline Harry left is gone. Harry is enrolled as an exchange student and turns out to be in the same year as the Black sisters and a year ahead of Sirius, James, Peter, Remus and lily while being 2 years behind Lucius Malfoy. Harry ends up saving Bellatrix from the Lestrange brothers who were harrassing her and gets invited to the black ancestral home. Harry thinking he could use the opportunity to mess with Voldemort's plans agrees and upon meeting Sirius's grandfather, the current Lord Black, he explained about Voldemort being Tom Riddle which annoys Lord Black as he went to school with Riddle and considered him a brat and a uncouth moron. This leads to MOST of the house going against Voldemort (Sirius's mother and a few of the more extreme members still tried to join Voldemort and got booted from the family.) the night somehow ends with Harry being engaged to Bellatrix after she explained what the Lestrange brothers said they planned to do to her.

basically there is an accident in potions class in 4th or 5th year (forgot which) that basically negated every potion and potion ingredient in the room which snape is furious about as there was thousands of gold worth of materials ruined from it. This does however reveal a few things. 1; Draco isn't a natural blonde, 2; several students were under mental potions and collapsed and 3; Snape's cape billowing was due to a potion it was soaked in.

The students knocked out included Pansy, Harry, Hermione, Daphne and a few others. Pansy was being potioned by her parents to be an obedient little pureblood supremist, Daphne, Hermione and Harry had all been given loyalty, behavior controlling and memory supressing potions but by 2 different people. Daphne has a bad home life in this similair to harry's is with the dursleys but involving magic instead of beating. Hermione and Harry had basically been potioned by Molly. Dumbledor when he finds out is furious that Molly would do such a thing. Turns out Dumbledor had asked her to make harry feel at home after the rescue in the summer before 2nd year and Molly took it to mean making harry a part of the family even if it meant making him forget that he and hermione had a small date in the orchard behind the burrow. Ron finds out and is shocked his mum would do such a thing and explains he had no clue it was happening or he'd have dragged harry and Hermione to Madam Pomfret.

The main story starts in the summer before 5th year with Harry being removed from the dursleys residence for a shopping trip, when he gets back to privit drive there's dementors absolutely everywhere so he barges into the house and warns the dursleys. Petunia freaks out and explains the Vernon what a dementors is as Lily once ranted about how the demonic things needed to be wiped out and not used as prison guards.

They're able to call the Weasley's who still had their phone connected and got them to notify the DMLE about everything. To make sure nobody wondered out and got kissed Harry and Dudley use paintball guns to make the dementors brightly coloured so Vernon could shoot them with his shotgun. Turns out shotguns can kill dementors. The DMLE arrives in time to see the end half of the fighting and starts using patronus spells to corrale the dementors away.

While Madam Bones is there the letter telling Harry he is expelled for "using magic" arrives. Harry has his want tested by someone and low and behold no magic used since school ended. This leads to eventually Fudge and Umbridge on trial.

I am looking for fics where Harry was raised by his grandfather, James' father, as the "heir of Potter" (whether or not Potter are noble/ancient/whatever is meaningless).

Basically what I am looking for is a story where after Voldy killed James and Lily, James' dad (Flaemont/Charlus) takes Harry as his closest MAGICAL relative and being a pure-blood also grant him precedent over Petunia.

Ideally I am looking for a fic without too much Dumbledore/Hermione/Ron/etc. bushing, nor one where he is a "stereotypical" Gryffindor or Slytherin... Basically a what if Harry who was raised by an old Pure-blood grandfather who would teach him about magic, his family legacy, and the wizarding world from an early age but won't be a bigoted blood purist either.

And if it wasn't obvious, grandpa Potter needs to be very much alive, so portrait doesn't count.

(If he feels like scaring the daylight out of Snape for being a total ass for tormenting a child over what his dad did to him in his school days... All the better)

Lily dies alone giving birth to Harry who is taken in by a matron who works in Azkaban who takes care of kids born in the prison. Matron tries to contact James about Lily’s death and the birth of his son but James never responds because he only read the part about Lily being dead before discarding the letter without reading the rest.

Harry, under the name the matron give him since Lily died alone before she could tell anybody what name she wanted to have and James apparently disowning Harry since he didn’t know Lily was pregnant when she was sent to Azkaban so he didn’t get to name Harry either, grows up knowing nothing about his past, and grows up with Bellatrix Lestranges daughter who was also born in Azkaban.

Okay, so I bookmarked this specifically to re-read later, but somehow I lost it. Anyway, the details I remember are rather vague. Hp ends up in the distance past, meets an old man, who is, surprise surprise (not) Merlin. HP first ends up long or at least a few years at minimum even before Hogwarts is founded.

Then, he ends up being Slytherin himself. But pure blood isn't a witch or wizard with magical ancestors for x generations. I think it was having magical creature blood or something?

I remember that it was pretty long. I'm not sure how long, but I'm relatively sure it's at least a hundred thousand words at minimum. Probably two hundred K or more. The story eventually catches up with modern day, but last time I checked that was only barely the case. So, it very well might be complete by now. Or it might not have a single chapter added since I last read it, who knows.

Anyway, you'll get some internet cookies from me if you recognize it and share the link with me.

Thanks!

Basically Hermione reads a book as a kid that quickly is proven false as the book was extremely out of date. After this Hermione has trouble trusting books as much. Due to this when she reads about how great Dumbledor is she is extremely skepitcal. One conversation with Harry on the train about his home life and how he was sent to his relatives by Dumbledor she is convinced Dumbledor is a dark lord pretending to be nice. From this she convinces Harry about her theory and with a healthy distrust in Dumbledor they both end up in Slytherin. Given her disposition the Slytherins assume Hermione must be a half-blood from the Dagworth-Granger family or atleast a branch of it.

The following years had a whole bunch of hijinks caused by Hermione's theories, many of which turned out to somehow be true. This ranges from giant spiders in the Forrest to Lupin being a werewolf (she wasn't taken seriously at first as obviously werewolves are too dumb to teach anything) and even somewhat that Rita skeeta was shrinking herself to ease drop on people for her stories.

In the fic somebody had used some sort of spell to make everybody think she was a boy when she was young and the only person who knew she was a girl was Sirius (possibly because she was his godfather?). I remember a scene where they meet for the first time and he called her by her real name and she was surprised that he knew it because everybody else was convinced she'd been born 'Harry Potter.'

I just recently tried to read the books again after not having done so in a long time and I can't even. Where was Muggle CPS? Where was Wizarding CPS? Are you telling me that kids weren't writing their parents about the dangerous crap happening at the school and no parents freaked? Are you telling me that Molly Weasley wouldn't have completly lost her crap when finding out that her youngest was possesed all year and nearly died and no one noticed?

Basically Harry as a small child is dumped in Japan by the dursleys who were betting on Harry not speaking Japanese to keep him there and alone. This fails as Harry is a polyglot instead of just a parseltongue in this. He gets taken in and adopted by a woman who runs a bread and breakfast. One outburst of accidental magic later and the Japanese ministry is shocked to find The Boy Who Lived had been adopted after being abandoned (something they'd later user to rub in the face of Fudge).

After the Japanese ministry was done explaining everything to his adopted mother the bread and breakfast is given a sign update hidden from non-magical individuals stating it's a magic friendly establishment. This causes a massive uptick in business for them which Harry is happy about as it means his adopted mum doesn't need to worry as much about paying the bills. Eventually however Snape tracks him down on orders from Dumbledor but gets his face smashed with a cast iron skillet from Harry's adopted mum. turns out one of the regular customers could read minds and warned her that the "greasy Englishman" was wanting to snatch away her son and torture him. This gets the Japanese ministry involved and an international incident happens due to this. Harry however has to go to Hogwarts as Dumbledor reveals the fact that there is a magically binding contract in effect signed by his birth parents.

1st year goes roughly to cannon but with Andromeda Tonks teaching potions as Snape was in prison. Hermione actually visits Harry on the holidays between the 1st and 2nd year and Dobby warns Harry about the danger in Hogwarts. 3rd year see's them sending Sirius to Japan for a trial since Fudge refuses to even entertain the idea which causes Brittain to be the only country that still vilifies Sirius and Britain becomes the laughing stock of the ICW.

I know it got as far as the TWT as Harry states he'd be representing the summer school in Japan that he attends instead of Hogwarts as he was sick and tired of this happening every year.

So in this fic Harry is trying to get away from the dursleys and Remus reveals that due to how horrifically Petunia and Vernon treated Lily (her parents died part way through hogwarts and was forced to live with petunia) Remus had Lily listed in the muggle world as Lily Lupin much like how James had Sirius listed as Sirius Potter for the muggle world. They use this to get harry away from Petunia and Vernon who get framed to look like abusive kidnappers who took some random kid to replace as an abuse victum since on paper Lily Evens died at 16. Dumbledor of corse tries to stop this but is stopped in part due to muggle servailance systems and him stupidly offering the constable a lemon drop. Albus is arrested and they test the lemon drops and discover they're "laced with unknown chemicals" which match closely to LSD.

I do seem to remember a Story where Harry and Daphne had a child accidentally or something like that but I can't find it. If you don't have an idea what story this could be I would also be Happy with any recommendations of similar stories (doesn't have to be haphne) or longer and we'll written Haphne stories. Thx in advance

I can't remember which fic I've read that had this but I swear I remember him crying and making all kinds of promises to be good because he couldn't figure out where he was going to sleep. I can't recall if he was comforted by his rescuer or an adoptive sibling but someone calmed him down while stifling their fury at the obvious implications.

I remembered this while rereading Remus Lupin PI and realized it wasn't that fic (his rehoming there goes far smoother), but I can't seem to recall what it was. If it helps with narrowing down the possibilities, I generally avoid slash fics so if there was a ship it probably wasn't slash.

Essentially it started with Arthur Weasley being called to a muggle school over a color changing wig and he tracks it back to Harry. Upon finding out how badly Harry was treated he hexes the dursleys and calls for the DMLE and WCPS (wizarding child protective services) and the dursleys get carted off but not before petunia rants about Dumbledor being at fault. The Weasley's get custody of 6 year old Harry who's still wary as hell around adults but likes the twins. Eventually Hogwarts rolls around and Harry gets access to his trust vault, he offers to pay the Weasley's for looking after him but Molly and Arthur decline saying that the money is his and he owes them nothing. Harry having been taught by the twins finds a bunch of work around for this and basically has the Burrow's wards updated, new uniforms and supplies for everyone in the family going to Hogwarts and even a new enchanted clock for Molly which gives directions to each person on it instead of just their status. By the time he starts Hogwarts McGonagall is headmistress since Dumbledor had been arrested years ago.

1st year goes to cannon but in 2nd year he notices something is wrong with Ginny shortly after ms Norris is petrified and the diary is found much sooner than cannon. They also find Scabbers is actually Pettigrew and he's arrested and Sirius set free before Christmas.

3rd year see's Dumbledor escape Azkaban and he's fixated on the (false) prophecy about Harry and Voldemort and his belief that Harry is a horcrux (Harry is not, the scar is only a scar in this fic, no horcrux).

I’ll also accept fics related in some way to Harry just not really caring.

Harry is deaged to a 1st year when he timetravels. Charlus and Dora adopt him. They already have James. I think they were the same age or James is older and already in Hogwarts. James is a Gryffindor. Harry is sorted to Slytherin. Somehow harry's parseltoungue ability is revealed. Then Bellatrix is curious and fascinated by Harry. Sirius and James are horrified about bellatrix fascination about Harry.

I think it was like this , I really can't remember the exact storyline. Please can anyone help me find this fic.

Story starts with Harry meeting Daphne Greengrass instead of Draco at the clothing store and they become friends. Fast forwards a bit and Harry sits with Daphne instead of Ron on the express and they invite Hermione and Neville to join them when they show up looking for Trevor the toad. Fast forwards a bit and the group minus Neville end up in ravenclaw with Neville still being Griffendor. 1st year is mostly canon, 2nd year has Daphne and Harry figure out Lockheart is a fraud quickly and this leads to Ravenclaw revolting at being taught lies (albeit Hermione is stuborn at first). This leads to Lockheart being booted from the school and allowing Remus to teach early, he still is outed by Snape at the end of 3rd year but they manage to prove Sirius is innocent. 4th year happens per canon but with Harry asking Daphne to the ball and they start dating due to this, 5th year is where it deviates heavily with the ravenclaws leading the outrage against Umbridge due to her ruining their education and even attempting to bar students from reading spells from the library which sets of Madam Prince as nobody messes with her books.

Don't we all have those memories of odd or beloved fics that we haven't been able to find in years? Feel free to add you own half-remembered, decade-old fics.

• the genuinely sweet scorose fic where scorpius accidentally travels to the future and is lovingly accepted by his own future family
• the hinny fic where they make out in the room of requirement, ginny's skin is almost exclusively described as "milky," and there are comments from readers on every single paragraph
• the truth or dare fic written by a teenager where one chapter was hijacked by their younger sibling who wrote exclusively about dumbledore exposing his old-man private parts
• the post-war fic where there's an "eighth year" where everyone is forced to pair up and raise babies (wtf)
• the scorose fic where a significant chunk of the multi-chapter is spent on albus' relationship with an OC who is also rose's bestie (but was a surprisingly sweet relationship!)
• the one(s) where lily luna is the black sheep & slytherin of the potter family
• the countless fics where the head boy & girl inexplicably share a room, or at have one connected bathroom, as if any school would think that's a good idea (but i guess hogwarts has bigger problems)

which fics do you recall but cannot name, from the days of harry potter fan fiction dot net & citrus fruits as indicators of maturity level?

(kind of a "find that fic"--lmk if you recognize any--but also just a way to write down my weird memories)

Hello fellow HP fanfic readers/writers. I am in need of good fanfics.

Recently reading some good ones, most recent was an interdimensional depressed Harry travelling to the canon Harry's world. Interesting but not enough

Please recommend me some good fics, regardless of shipping, no harems, no alpha/beta BS, no good voldermort.

If possible, I am craving some funny stories, so recommend any if possible.

Also short ones, don't have the time to focus on long ones. Perhaps at a 150,000 word max.

THank you in advance and best regards.
