If I remember correctly, they studied battle strategies and used Roman tactics with conjured (or transfigured) shields and formations to battle Death Eaters in Hogsmeade. They easily defeated them, leaving Albus, his Order, Amelia Bones, and the Aurors dumbfounded by the teenagers' superior combat skills, surpassing even those of seasoned Aurors and Order members. Other recommendations for badass Dumbledore's Army fics are also welcome. :) submitted by /u/hannssoni [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Trying to find a fic that started with Lily having somewhat survived the attack at godric's hallow by making a horcrux and possessing Nagini. Bellatrix finds her and decided that following Lilly who was more powerful than Voldemort was a good idea. Lilly ends up possessing Petunia and raising Harry while Bellatrix ends up with a lot of tatoos and piercings and pretends to be "Lily Potter" based upon rumours spread by Petunia. Bellatrix's daughter Delphini is born a lot sonner than in cannon, being roughly the same age as Harry. At one point Delphini drops some jewelry in the sewer by accident ..read more

Based on hpfanfic prompt "What if Potters were not light as Harry initially thought them to be?" They were muggle-friendly but went over the acceptable boundaries in war. It is the fourth year and the third year was a disaster. Sirius died. Remus is a fugitive. Written as a one-shot. Have not decided yet on how much this will be expanded but feel like this will suck as a lengthy fic. This is a AU story written as POVs and some may appear in non-linear timeline. No romances yet. No slash. OCs. Possible mentership by OCs. Morally Grey Harry Potter. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55337416/cha ..read more

Broad Overview: This is a fic that takes place in the third year, it advances from year 3 all the way to year 7. It has two OCS, and it's OC-centered, but neither of them replace Harry in any way, and only one of them is in Gryffindor. This fic explores Remus Lupin as a father, and post-Azkaban Wolfstar. It delves into how dark magic can truly taint the soul. There are background ships, and the OCs have their own ships, but romance is not the main plot. Thank you! <3 Note: I know that OC fics are typically avoided like the plague, but I wanted to share this bc I felt proud of myself for ma ..read more

Okay, I've been trying to dig up this fic, and it is just not showing up in search. There was a story involving a next-gen female OC--at least, I'm pretty sure it was next-gen. It might have been Dudley's daughter or some other adopted child of Harry's, but I'm not certain of that. Anyway, she went to Hogwarts, and it was normal at first, but from her second or third year, she kept getting repeatedly tossed into an alternate timeline where Voldemort won. I know the story was on AO3, and it was a multi-part series--at least 3 or 4 years and maybe all 7 years. I know I saw it a few years ago--b ..read more

Hello! I am looking for a fanfic that I remember the absolute barebones of. If anyone recognizes it, I would really appreciate a link, it feels like it was a fever dream at this point. I believe it was on FanFiction.net and was possibly Drarry, as that’s all I was reading in the beginning… I don’t think it was a long fic, but I could be wrong. All I remember is that Harry seeks asylum in Hufflepuff I believe Draco joins eventually. I believe that Hufflepuff takes any students who want asylum and keep them as a part of their house, it’s possibly an ancient tradition… I also believe Harry seeki ..read more

Just reread 'The greatest gift' and old unfinished work and want more of that vibe. Good, wholesome parenting vibes, because Instagram reels keeps showing me adorable babies everywhere. Ideally finished, ideally long. submitted by /u/Pholphin [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

After reading basically everything there is to read in the fandom, hyper-competent-super!Harry starts to get pretty boring. It doesn't help that he's usually a Slytherin in all these fanfics, usually adopting the ideology of Voldemort and blood purists. What I would like are recommendations where Harry is a genius, or quite proficient, in a single field of magic, at the cost of being pretty bad or mediocre on others subjects, whether by his choice or not. Basically a Savant!Harry. For example: Space Magic From a young age, Harry can twist and distort space itself as he pleases, distances is m ..read more
