    Summary

    Holly Pandora Potter is more morally flexible than the Harry James Potter who exists in other stories. When thinking about Lockhart and his 'Memory Charm', after surviving the events down in the Chamber of Secrets, Holly considers the possibilities.

     

    ‘It isn’t even the best way you could use a spell like that.’ The twelve year old Holly thought to herself. ‘I mean, if you were evil you could commit any number of crimes in front of witnesses and just remove their memories. Even if you’re not particularly bad it would have to be useful, especially against bad people. Ha! I’d love to make the Dursleys forget about me. Forget about magic too, for that matter.’

     

    Things to know:
    - Pottermore states that Memory Charms are in the second year Standard Book of Spells, this is not so in this story (or really any story I write)
    - There will be some ponderings on morality
    - Fem Harry is because I love those stories and want to write one, not because of some greater reason or commentary
    - Not a fan of JK's politics or beliefs, but this world remains stuck in my head

    Summary

    After facing the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter realizes something life-changing—he’s in love with Hermione Granger.
    But years of neglect and self-doubt leave him questioning if he’s even worthy of her affection.

    Determined to grow into someone who is, Harry vows to change—to become stronger, wiser, and truly himself. What begins as a personal journey of self-worth soon sets in motion a chain of events that will shake the foundations of wizarding Britain.

    As Harry transforms, so too do his relationships. Friendships deepen. Loyalties shift. And love? Love blooms in the most unexpected ways.
    With Hermione at his side, Harry finds himself drawn to others who challenge, support, and understand him—Fleur Delacour, Daphne Greengrass, Susan Bones, and Nymphadora Tonks.

    This isn’t a harem. It’s something more rare, more honest—a polyamorous bond forged through trust, growth, and shared purpose.

    Can one boy's vow to better himself rewrite the fate of the magical world?

    Summary

    After the Basilisk's attack, and with Sirius Black on the loose, Dumbledore must make a decision.

    To have Dementors roaming Hogwarts, further risking the students' wellbeing, or to move their location temporarily? During the Welcoming Feast, students find out that the decision made was for Durmstrang to 'host' Hogwarts and its students until Sirius Black would be caught.

    To most, Dumbledore seems oddly blase in his decision to have a former Death Eater so close to his students, considering another Death Eater has just broken out of Azkaban. Slowly, all pieces of the puzzle will be revealed, and the past will soon simmer and overflow into the present.

    Summary

    Harry went back into the Chamber of Secrets because, honestly, he hadn’t gotten a proper look around the first time. No monster chasing him. No diary causing trouble. Just quiet.

    He wasn’t expecting anything to happen.

    He definitely wasn’t expecting it to change everything.

    What starts as a summer of curiosity becomes something much more: a hidden sanctuary, forgotten legacies buried in stone and silence, and a slow unravelling of the world as he thought he knew it. If everyone expects Harry Potter to be something great, then he’s going to decide what that means for himself.

    Tradition. Progress. Power. Family.

    He won’t be what they made him to be.
    And the magical world isn’t ready for who he’s becoming.

    Summary

    It was no secret that the Weasley family was poor, it was quite obvious in fact. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley did the best they could to shield their children from the cruelty of the world, but the revelation of that cruelty was inevitable. All of the seven children wore hand-me-down robes, even the ones who had graduated. All seven looked guilty anytime anyone tried to spend money on them or buy them a gift.

    Oliver wasn’t judging of course, he’d never judge no anyone for things they couldn’t control, he merely observed. He watched with interest the difference in habits of the eldest three brothers and the youngest four siblings. He watched the way Percy cared for the younger Weasleys. Oliver was simply observing, as a concerned friend, and nothing more.

    Or

    How poverty can effect a character even if they weren't well off originally from the perspective of an outsider.

    Or or

    Canon makes me sad and I feel like doing hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    Ekko turned back to the contraption and caught sight of Powder in its reflection. She was looking at him with awe. Of course — Hextech hadn’t been invented here, and she’d never had a reason to witness anything like this before.

    The look faded, but he wanted to see it again, just once. Ekko told himself that he was just making sure the doohickey worked properly. He tugged on the handle again, the blob stretching and contracting — but it didn’t work. Ekko stared into the glass, feeling both disappointment and alarm.

    “Uh, Heimerdinger,” he called, stepping away from the machine. “I just did it, but it didn’t work.”

    Or: The prototype machine meant to transport Ekko and Heimerdinger back to their home malfunctioned. Instead, the magic pulled someone from another, extremely different universe to Zaun.

    Summary

    Isekai is a bit of a contentious genre, but isn't that a bunch of what we look for in HP fics? A way to put ourselves into the narrative that we loved when we were younger, yet feels... uncomfortable when we look back on it?

    Somebody got hit by truck-kun, savvy to HP. Rather than being Harry or Hermione, they are shunted into Ginny Weasley.

    Join Gin Weasley as she tries to pull her family out of financial issues and forge a new path.

    ***

    A tired young voice, sounding male and a little hoarse, spoke behind me. “Ginny, you’ve got to go, get out of here… Ginny?”

    I’d sat up and moved with such swiftness that perhaps caused the boy’s words to drift off. Then my hands were on his face, pushing his hair up to take in the scar, my gaze moved down to meet his famously green eyes that hadn’t been in the movies. Harry freakin’ Potter, and a glance around what must be the Chamber of Secrets showed an enormous dead snake and a pool of ink around a punctured book.

    My eyes went back to Harry and saw my small delicate hands still touching his face, grimy though they were, the hands of an eleven year old Ginny Weasley.

    “Well fuck me.” I muttered, barely noticing Harry’s shock at my language

    Summary

    The summer before second year, Harry Potter is starving. For food, yes, but also for answers, for safety, for something like family. A warning from a house-elf throws his world off-balance, and a quiet gift at Christmas may change it forever.

    Draco Malfoy has always known where his loyalties lie. But when his father starts whispering about the Dark Lord again, and Harry Potter’s eyes look too tired for a twelve-year-old, things start to shift. Especially when Draco realises he’s not as good at hating Harry as he used to be.

    Summary

    Harry's eyes burned, tears falling faster, and a sob rose in his chest. He roughly swiped at his face, uncaring of the snot smearing over his sleeve; after all, Tom wasn’t going to see it and complain.

    Or would he? He probably would, actually; Voldemort knew just how much the two loved each other (though he incorrectly assumed it was a version of Stockholm Syndrome, a misapplication of the term that Tom could vent about for hours), and would surely force him to bear witness to Harry’s body. His stomach twisted at the thought.

    Would it be better if he jumped feet first, likely succumbing instantly to internal injuries while saving his face, possibly even preserving the state of relieved joy that Harry expected to accompany his fall? Or would that be worse for Tom, leaving a final image of the green eyes he loved so much, now empty and hollow, gazing sightlessly back at him?

    Summary

    Thanks to Fawkes, the Horcrux in Harry is destroyed by the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. But something destroyed needs to be replaced, and a soul bond is just the thing.

    Not that Harry or Ginny plan to tell anyone about it, of course.
