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.

Summary: Severus and Harry are the only ones left after the Battle of Hogwarts, everyone else having been driven insane or are dead. In order to prevent this from happening, they decide to travel to the past and adopt Tom Riddle Jr, to give him the childhood he deserves.

Requirements:
  • Harry and Severus must pretend to be father/son. Maybe even develop this before they go back into the past.
  • Harry and Severus have to make realistic preparations: i.e. think of a suitable surname, store up money, birth certificates, proof of Mastery, etc.
  • The time travel device itself has to be more than just a simple spell, charm, or time turner. Make it interesting!
  • Tom has to be young, maybe two or three.
  • This fic has to involve WWII. It doesn't necessarily need to have actual battle scenes, but how the Wizarding World deals with the Battle of Britain would be interesting.
  • Severus and Harry should take an active part in the world, maybe get jobs?
  • Grindelwald should be involved... he IS the "Dark Lord" of this time.

Summary: Unknown to the Dursley's when Harry Potter was delivered to their home someone switched Dudley Dursley and Harry Potter's appearances and identities to protect The Boy Who Lived. In consequence, the "Freak" who lives under the cupboard is in reality Dudley Dursley, and "Sweetums" is Harry Potter. Upon Harry's 11th birthday, the two are switched back and "Dudley" Potter is sent to Hogwarts where a Severus Snape is happy to correct any problems "Dudley" has.

How would Harry Potter react to being pampered while his cousin is forced to do chores. Would he be spoiled? A bully? Is Harry the one who is overweight now? Will his "parents" accept him once they realize he is not who he has been pretending to be? Or will he be suddenly forced to do all the chores "Harry Potter" was forced to do? What house will he end up in?

Summary: Harry is abused, Snape finds out and becomes mentor/father figure type thing. Dumbledore is manipulative, but not evil, and it doesn't matter anyway because he died at the end of the year previous to the year this takes place in [you choose]. Draco never joins the death eaters, he defects and becomes Harry's friend. Theodore Nott is evil toerag, Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson are smashing and also defect and become friends with Harry and crew. Can include pairings if you like, but please not Ron/Blaise, Pansy/Harry, Ron/Harry, Hermione/Harry or Harry/Ginny. Extra cookies if you can fit in the Weasley twins, cos I love them. You can kill off/have a thing with Voldemort, but I'd prefer if it wasn't a big part of the fic. Basically fit as many cliches as possible into a fic lol
