Saved from Sirius by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 0]
Summary: For whatever reason Snape saves Harry from his Godfather, Sirius Black.

Ideas:
  • Sirius allows Harry to do something dangerous, and Harry doesn't (or wouldn't) make it out alive this time
  • Sirius does something illegal in public while Harry is with him (can be Muggle or Wizarding world)
  • Sirius wants to keep Harry away from Hogwarts for whatever reason
  • Sirius wants to train Harry, and it gets out of hand
  • Sirius has a flashback, and not understanding it, Harry gets in the way
  • Sirius looses control of his emotions, and hurts Harry
  • Giving some bad advice
  • Giving himself away to the Ministry, Umbridge, ect. which gets Harry into trouble he can't get out of
  • Taking Harry to a hideout, only to have Harry become ill, or hurt because of the area
  • Sirius does something immature or accidental, and Harry may pay the consequences i.e.:
    • accidentally locking Harry out of the house
    • loosing track of Harry at a bar when he got drunk
    • allowing Harry to overdose on something for "fun"
    • having Harry around Remus during the full moon, forgetting that Harry isn't an animagus
  • Anything else you can come up with!

Skewed Reality by ForgottenEllipses
[Responses - 0]
Summary:
Soon after he arrives back at school for fifth or sixth year, Harry has an accident somehow transports him into our world in the current year in Muggle America. And who should have tagged along but his least two favorite people - Snape and Draco? As if that's not enough, it turns out that this world is actually an alternate reality from their own, one in which the Harry Potter story is a series of books that have revolutionized our world and culture.

While trying to find a way home, they learn to each reconcile with each other and come to realize that their perspective on each was skewed. Bonding occurs - fatherly/brotherly or otherwise. Throughout it all, they must try to keep low profiles and survive in a world that can instantly recognize them as story-book characters. For if that little fact leaks out, mass chaos would ensue.

In this world, they are recognized by a young girl/boy around Harry and Draco's age (OC) who ends up befriending them and helping them throughout their journey.

Please try to make reactions of all characters and especially the OC as realistic as possible. (i.e. if you literally ran into your favorite story-book character on the street, what would you really do?)

Ideas:
  • Angst, drama, humor, hurt/comfort
  • Girl is in school (high school or uni)
  • Harry has unresolved issues with Cedric's and Sirius' deaths, which are confronted
  • Draco has unresolved home life issues that are confronted
  • Scenes with loads of humor. Use your imagination - it's a perfect setting. ;)
  • Harry and Draco attend public Muggle school with the girl, and Snape gets a job of some sort - most likely a teaching position (substitute or long-term)
  • They are trapped in this world for quite some time. Long enough to experience some of our major holidays, at least.
  • Harry has nightmares
  • Harry has unresolved Dursley issues which are confronted
  • OC understands the Snape/Harry and Harry/Draco discord and works to try and fix it
  • OC has no problem sharing her opinions with Snape, especially when s/he butts heads with him. This happening somewhat often, and rather loudly too would be awesome! :D

Cabin Fever by Azalea
[Responses - 0]
Summary: Sirius has been locked in Azkaban for years. They say the only reason he's not totally mad was because he was an animagus in Azkaban. But now he's locked in again, this time in his own home, not even allowed to leave because of the Ministry looking for him. Sirius catches a bad case of cabin fever. Coupled with his very immature personality only bad things could happen to Harry, who is staying with Sirius between his fourth and fifth year of Hogwarts. What if Sirius found out he only liked Harry because he reminded him of James? What happens when Sirius realizes Harry only looks like James and acts nothing like him? Being shunned or verbally abused by his only means of intimate adult support Harry starts acting differently. This catches the eye of the potions master. Since the Order has access to Headquarters, Snape has many chances to eavesdrop or overhear a conversation with Sirius. Of course any interaction between Snape and Harry would send Sirius into a jealous rage.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by JAWorley
[Responses - 2]
Summary: Listen to the song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Greenday (can be found on Youtube). Write a story based on this song if Harry were to feel the way this song says.

Ideas to start (but not required):
·Harry disappeared after the battle
·Harry ran away during the summer
·Harry ran away in the middle of the school year or Christmas break
·Harry is traveling alone
·Harry may be in shock somehow from some traumatic event
·Harry believes he is alone and has nobody (as per the song)
·Harry is physically injured

Required:
·Somehow Snape finds, runs into, or meets with Harry.
·Snape begins to get a clear picture of who Harry really is, and what he has been through.
·Somehow Snape gets Harry back into mainstream society by bringing him out of the shell he has created around himself.
·This story should center around Harry's thoughts and feelings, and his encounter with Snape, although other characters are welcome.

1. Bonus points for Draco being a main character somehow.
2. Bonus points for Draco turning out to be nice.

Jealous of Remus by Jan_AQ
[Responses - 0]
Summary: Remus has become a trusted mentor to Harry during Harry's third year, teaching Harry the Patronus charm and telling him about his parents. Severus Snape is either jealous of the relationship, or angry about it and worried about Harry's safety. Perhaps both. What is he going to do about it? Punish them, or try to lure Harry away? How far will he go?

Harry On the Dark Side by Suki202010
[Responses - 0]
Summary: Severus Snape is Harry's biological father? Lily and the Marauders were with Voldy? Dumbledore is EVIL?

Needs to be included:
  • Harry has been depressed after the death of Cedric
  • Harry finds out that Voldy isn't as evil as he is made out to be
  • Harry finds out that Snape is his father (with Lily or one of the marauders)
  • Harry finds out that they are all loyal to the dark lord
  • To keep him safe from DUMBLES they sent him into hiding with Lily and James (who are dead)
  • The Weasley's are spys for Voldy (only if you can make it believable)
  • No big breakup of the Golden Trio
  • Sirius alive!
Optional Scene: Snape and Harry take polyjuice to go to Diagon Alley
    Snape: "Something you are no doubt familiar with"
    Harry: Suprised "at least it isn't as grose as the essence of Crabbe from 2nd year"
And last but not least my favorite fics are Harry is rescued from abusive or neglectful Dursleys but it it not required!!

Good luck! and Thanks!

Another Potions Accident by Ebbtide
[Responses - 1]
Summary: A potions 'accident' that was caused by a Slytherin - doesn't matter which one or why - makes Harry lose all inhibitions. He does or says anything that pops into his head.

I would like for him to take off into the Muggle world and have Snape trying to find/contain him until the potion wears off.

Also, this challenge is NOT a crackfic challenge. It is for serious stories only. I really want to see the struggle taking place. Lots of angst would make this fangirl happy. ;) Other than those specifications, have fun inventing!

Never Knew My Mother by Azalea
[Responses - 0]
Summary: Harry's mother is not Lily. Harry is raised with relatives similar to the Dursleys (but they are not the Dursleys). When Harry starts school his past catches up to him. Lily is married to Severus and she thinks they should adopt him. Severus doesn't like the idea and neither does Sirius.
