Harry Potter stories 3 and 4 (Patreon)
Content
Same thing with my last to HP concepts. And they are solely HP concepts, based off the idea of greatly expanding canon while at the same time making Harry Potter more of a hero than a boy who simply stumbles along relying on luck and courage.
Harry Potter: Harry Sawyer
Harry's reading level was well above the norm even as a nine year old, so a teacher decided to let him into the school library without supervising what books he got. Entranced by the cover of two boys on a raft, he read the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn to him, and decided to run away from home to the sea. Getting there was tough, but once there, Harry was able to head out to sea eventually. After being on his own and having a number of adventures, how will Harry, who has discovered his magic already and begun to manipulate the very elements, react to Hogwarts, Dumbledore, and the Magical world?
Warnings: lemons (duh) selective Weasley bashing, MoM bashing, Umbridge bashing, manipulative Dumbledore, Flitwick, Minerva and others might become actual teachers who give a fuck about their students rather than yes men in a social experiment. Which, lets face it, they are in canon. I would also have t show the Granger parents at some point in both this fic and the below idea, because honestly, who is Rowling fooling, thinking parents worth the name would be content with being nonentities in their teenage daughter’s life?
Pairing: Harry/Hermione/Lavender Brown/possibly Daphne or Susan Bones.
I chose Lavender and Daphne for the same reasons: in canon they are either not at all mentioned or one dimensional characters. That would give me a lot of leeway to work with, and it might be interesting to set up Lavender as the first, I.E. primary, girl for a time.
Harry Potter: A Name to Conjure With:
The Potters were an older line than most in England realized, or wanted to admit in their idolation for Merlin. A Lot older, tracing their line back to Alexandria and a certain female librarian and her lover, a captain in the Roman army, whose descendants came to Britain as part of the roman conquerors, then stayed after, having married into a noble line. Now, such an old family would never put their eggs in one basket, nor would it be likely to yield to exterior pressure. When Charlus Potter realizes his son has firmly fallen under the sway of Dumbledore, a man whose credentials Charlus has doubts about, the old man takes steps to insure his line would continue. This included leaving the family grimoire with Gringotts bank, to be handed to Harry Potter on his tenth birthday on pain of losing all Potter business to their rivals, the pixies of Ireland. When the goblins cannot send it to him, they panic, abduct the Potter heir from durance vile, and introduce him to the world of magic a year early. Armed with the grimoire of his family, the reluctant aid of the goblins, and a year on his own, what will this Harry make of himself, and how will the wizarding world and Dumbledore's carefully laid plans react to him?
Pairings: Harry/The patil twins, other than that not certain.
Warnings: Weasley bashing of all save Bill and the twins, Manipulative/not stupid Dumbledore, Ministry bashing of all and sundry, Duels galore, some lemonish content starting year four, blood, gore and violence.
Note I said reluctant aid from the goblins - they are not happy about helping humans, and rather furious that Charlus fooled them into helping Harry along, but are unable toi get out of it until his firstborn is born.
Manipulative/Not Stupid Dumbledore: far too often regardless of other hcanges going along Dumbledore either doesn’t react to new stimuli as he should, or comes off as bumbling and stupid. Not going to happen here. He will be the Sidious of this work.
