Prompts by Kitsune-chan
Summary:

The Sorting Hat goes back in time and changes how House sortings are made. Previously, it sorted children by wishes and family inheritance. Now it will sort only by personality traits, and is free from any compulsions placed on it originally. Be creative!

Requirements:
  • The Sorting Hat goes back in time, to anytime (it could even go back to the Founders and tell them that the whole House system thing is a stupid idea).
  • No pairings, or pairings play a very small and almost unnoticed role.
Things I Would Like:
  • Goes back to Harry's time, the Marauders, or shortly before/during Tom Riddle's start
  • Extremely uneven Sortings, so that the teachers are forced to hold mixed classes
  • NO OOC-ness
  • Parseltongue plays a key role (double points for this)
  • Parselmouth!Lily
  • Decently written and semi-original Sorting songs; the Sorting Hat should go with different songs than 'before'
  • Second year, Harry either is the one who is given Tom Riddle's diary or he has it for longer/ knows of its power for longer
  • Not-super-nice Snape
  • Someone other than James is Harry's father (another thing to get creative with; also how it's revealed)
  • Dark!Sirius (regardless of what time)
  • Independent! and/ or Gray!Harry (but not Dark/ Evil)
  • Lily somehow ends up resurrected (points for creativity)

Summary: Inspired by all of those stories where Harry is severely abused but either nobody notices, or he tells and then isn't believed. In this one, a teacher/ school nurse/ neighbor notices Harry's poor condition, and the abuse (please don't make it too extensive) is revealed. Harry is removed from the Dursleys, they're arrested, and Harry ends up adopted by a nice Muggle family (possibly even changing his last name). Because his new family doesn't have a problem with Harry's magic, Hagrid doesn't take him to Diagon (and he probably goes at a different time, therefore not meeting Draco), Harry's far more confident in himself, etc. Up to you whether Dumbledore and the others realize that Harry is in fact Harry Potter, or if Harry's thought to be a muggleborn. I would like it if Harry's Sorted into a different House. Up to you how Harry and Severus interact; maybe they discover that Severus is Harry's father, but Harry doesn't want to leave his foster family. The foster family can be complete OC's, or the family of one of the canon muggleborns.

Summary: When Harry's and Voldemort's spells collide at the end of the final battle, it has an unexpected effect: they both go hurtling back through time, either to the instant after Voldemort's first destruction, or to the end of fourth year (when their wands first connected). Must: -Harry has trouble remembering the future clearly; it either shows as an altered perspective (he thinks the way his future self did without the memory) and/or seer-like visions of the future -Harry decides to give Snape a second chance, knowing what he does now. He's more polite, studious, thankful, stands up for him, etc -Voldemort also has future knowledge, and they're constantly countering each other (e.g. Voldemort moves the Horcruxes, knowing them to be in danger) -Harry's also less antagonistic towards Malfoy, BUT they're not instantly friends -Harry's foreknowledge shouldn't allow him to solve everything, and some of his efforts should end up making things worse Maybe: -If back to pre-Hogwarts, Harry gets Sorted into a different House (like Hufflepuff or Slytherin) -No pairings or light slash preferred; I generally dislike romance -Parseltongue plays a medium to heavy role -Up to you how they interact
