[Report This]
Summary: The Muggle Studies classes are studying muggle popular music. Pick a song for any teacher or character.
[Report This]
Summary: Instead of a magical influence, make it a developed AU where Harry is a preschool/elementary teacher and somehow a new child (Severus) transfers to his school and is allocated into Harry's class. (in light of the spring fest, school term can prolly start in spring?)
cue plot, h/c and shenanigans! how/why Severus was transferred to Harry's school is up to the author's discretion.
bonus:
- multi chapter!
- includes most of canon characters; could even bring in lily and the maruders as classmates of severus for example
- severus being in-character even as a kid; he could be surly and everything initially but he gotta warm up to harry in a logical sense (think of his family background and general distrust with male adult/authorative figures)
- harry being harry; similar family background as severus hence prolly would be more understanding and knows what to do to make severus feel safe with him
[Report This]
Summary: One day, Harry wakes up to discover no-one can remember him. No-one has the faintest clue who he is. Can be set at any point in canon, AUs welcome.

Summary: Anywhere in the story, put this quote "Perhaps you can feel if you can't hear. Perhaps kind thoughts reach people somehow, even through windows and doors and walls. Perhaps you feel a little warm and comforted, and don't know why, when I am standing here in the cold and hoping you will get well and happy again." Francis Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess.

Bonus if Harry says it to Snape and Snape unwillingly hears

Summary: Harry and Dumbledore accidentally swap bodies. Nobody informs Severus, resulting in Harry having a very enlightening conversation with him.

The challenge title doesn't need to be used but it's there if you want it. Fic can be humour or serious (or both), any canon setting, AUs welcomed. No Albus bashing, no slash, please.

Summary: Harry has decided to begin journaling, perhaps at the suggestion of someone else or recognizing the need to work through a few things on his own. Having purchased the book, he starts writing - only for words in another hand to demand who is writing in the book. Assessing that the journal is not like Tom Riddle's, but is, in fact, a magically paired journal, Harry and his unknown pen pal continue to write back and forth. But who is his anonymous confidant? And what will Harry do upon discovering that his unnamed friend has problems not dissimilar to his own?

-The Pen Pal can be anyone, although preferably a student.

-Bonus if it is someone other than Draco (whom I love, but I would really like to see someone else cast in the role this time).

-How Snape is involved is up to the writer.

Summary: Harry has to sit at Slytherin table for some reason, and while he's there he discovers some interesting things. Things like the fact that Draco is actually kind of funny, the Slytherins have some kind of secret that Harry is determined to find out about, and Snape is starting to not seem that bad. The Slytherins really look up to Snape and Harry is starting to see why.

Why does Harry have to sit at Slytherin for meals? How long does he have to be there? Who or what is making him do this? All up to you!

Take note: Harry is NOT in Slytherin. He has not been re-sorted and does not have to sleep in Slytherin.

I could easily see Harry somehow finding out that Snape is his father because of whatever secret the Slytherins are hiding. I could also see Harry just really looking up to Snape and Snape becoming his mentor.

This should not be a drabble. It should be a full one shot (4-5 pages or longer), or a multi-chapter story.

Some ideas to get you going:
- Snape is Harry's father, guardian, or godfather and is angry that he is that relationship to Harry (they just found out) and is punishing Harry (even though it's not his fault) by making him sit at Slytherin.
- Harry has somehow become Snape's apprentice while still in school, and Snape is determined to make Harry miserable by making him sit at Slytherin table.
- Harry is being punished for some wrong doing.
- Snape is the Headmaster (or temporary Headmaster) and thinks he is taking revenge on Harry by making him sit with Slytherin, but instead Harry rather likes it at Slytherin table because it's different than what he's used to.
- Because Harry is sitting at Slytherin, Snape observes him closely and discovers some things about Harry's health.
- Harry is there at Slytherin, but the Slytherins are totally ignoring him, which suits Harry fine because he feels like a fly on the wall and gets to observe them without interacting.
- Harry is there at Slytherin, and they are being pretty nasty to him. Does he retaliate or just sit there and take it? What does Snape think about it or do about it?

SO MANY IDEAS! Take the concept or an idea and run with it. Change however you want to fit your story. The story idea generator is a great place to get ideas to fit into the story: http://hpideagen.blogspot.com
