Summary: Synaesthesia is a condition where the senses are mixed up, e.g. someone might taste sound or smell colours or associate numbers with personalities ... there are many possibilities.

Either Harry or Severus has, or develops, synaesthesia. (Or both. It is genetic.)

Do read up on synaesthesia before you write about it--otherwise, no rules!

Summary: Write a fic (loosely) based on the film, for Severus and Lily, and Harry and ... someone else. Try and keep it as in character as possible. Properly developed OCs please, and not so close to the film that it bears no resemblance to the HP world. As a suggestion, Polyjuice could be involved--doesn't have to be about identical twins.

Summary: How would Voldemort have done things differently if he had known Harry was a Horcrux?

At some point, he discovers what really occurred on Halloween, and changes tactics. Rather than needing to be killed, Harry now needs to be kept alive somewhere he can't be destroyed or interfere with Voldemort's plans.

Suggestions:
- Voldemort wins the war
- Harry is trapped somewhere time doesn't move forward, so he can live as long as Voldemort wants to live (i.e. forever)
- Voldemort fakes Harry's death so the Order can't look for him
- Severus to the rescue ... somehow ...

Summary: When they were born, Harry and Neville were accidentally sent home from St Mungo's with the wrong families. Nobody realises until, after Lily's sacrifice made 'Harry' the Boy Who Lived, Severus comes face to face with 'Neville' and recognises him as a Potter.

Suggestions:
- Harry and Neville end up the best of friends ... or not
- The prophecy is not the same as in canon (reworded to allow two potential destroyers of Voldemort)
- Harry still has a role to play in the prophecy
- They're both taken in by Severus
- Think how each of them would be different with the other's pasts. E.g., Neville after ten years with the Dursleys would probably be even more timid than in early canon--or alternatively, the Dursleys could have had the opposite effect, taught him to stand up for himself. Harry living with Augusta? Who knows.

No Dumbledore bashing, no slash please.

Summary: Harry and Severus find themselves trapped or otherwise isolated somewhere, both missing all their memories.

Inspired by the Buffy episode "Tabula Rasa" (meaning "clean slate").

Any kind of (non-slash) relationship goes, but some suggestions might be they immediately bond, or instinctively hate each other, or (my personal preference) somehow they get the impression that they are related.

Any canon setting is fine. Humour or angst, or both! No Dumbledore bashing, no slash. Otherwise anything goes.
