Summary: Snape overhears that Hagrid is going to deliver Harry’s letter next week. He decides to take matters into his own hands and pick up Harry and take him to Diagon Alley right away, before Hagrid gets to. In Diagon Alley they do completely different things, such as go to St Mungos for a mandatory check up before starting Hogwarts.

Summary: On the movie Jumanji, Martha gains the ability to dance fight. We learned canonically that Severus Snape is a good dueler. 1 + 1 = dance dueling! Make dancing a part of dueling and make Severus Snape excel at it! And of course the BWL needs to learn this art of defense. Maybe have snape teach it during the year he teaches DADA or maybe have Lockhart set it up 2nd year like he did the dueling club. However or whenever you like, I just want to see Snape dance-duel! bonus if he's a snob lol and imagines classical music while dueling whereas harry imagines rock music or something

Summary: Dudley ends up coming to Hogwarts. You choose why. Show how it affects Harry and his relationships.

Ideas for a few things that might have brought Dudley:

- Dudley's there to keep him safe from something or someone.
- Dudley is actually magic too. Did he start out going with Harry in year 1 or did he come in a later year?
- Dudley is allowed to visit Harry for some reason.
- Dudley and Harry are both in the custody of someone that lives at Hogwarts so Hogwarts is their full time home.

Potential questions to think about:

- If Dudley ends up going to school, which house does he really belong in?
- Is Dudley the canon Dudley or is he different somehow?
- If Dudley is Muggle but staying at Hogwarts for an extended period of time, what does that look like for him on a daily basis and who are his friends?

So many fun directions to take this in :)

Summary: Harry (or Snape, you choose) decides to, or is challenged to do something nice for once. It happens to be Christmas time or approaching Christmas.

Ideas:

- Minerva or one of Severus' other friends tells Snape something like, "It wouldn't kill you to be nice/do something nice just once you know." Snape says he does nice things for people. Minerva (or whoever) tells him he's never been 'nice' to Harry.
- Harry is complaining about Snape, or his detentions, and Hermione or one of Harry's other friends tells him something like, "It couldn't hurt to be nice to him. You've never even tried, and then you get upset when he's constantly giving you detention."
- Another idea is that someone else who is not Harry or Snape is challenged to do something nice for once, and the thing this person does is decide to: get Harry the help he needs, or help Harry and Snape who are lonely to find each other's company on Christmas (obviously in a teacher/student, friend/mentor or father/son way).

Just some ideas! Feel free to take this in whatever direction you want!

Summary: Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy are the two biggest gits Harry had ever met in the wizarding world. And you know what, he'd never met a muggle worth saving either! So maybe old Moldy-- sorry Voldemort-- had it right. Except for the going insane and considering an infant your greatest enemy thing. Cedric's dead because of him, it's the summer before 5th year, Harry's had bloody enough! Muggles aren't worth saving. And the wizards! All they ever do is turn on him, even (especially) Ron --his so called best friend. Everyone just believes the worst of him and they all think they get to judge his every move and he's still supposed to risk his life fighting Voldemort for them? He loves his parents, but he never even knew them for Pete's sakes! Screw it all, Harry's going dark side. And when Voldemort realizes he has a truly powerful new heir-- because he has a piece of Voldemort inside him anyway, he would make the perfect heir-- Voldemort and Harry might be unstoppable! Will Snape and Draco see the error of their ways when Voldemort himself punishes their behavior against Harry? Will Dumbledore repent his manipulative actions when he sees how far they have pushed the boy?

BONUS if:
* Harry becomes voldemorts heir but at some point Severus and Draco apologize/or repent however necessary and Harry then double crosses Voldemort with their help
* Harry has to be intelligent, powerful, and cunning.
*No raping! No one ever writes rape as the serious and tragic situation it really is do I'd rather you not try with this challenge
He can NOT forgive the dursleys or Dumbledore and if he does forgive Snape/Draco, it can't be quickly. They'd have to really work for it

POSSIBILITIES:
*Maybe Harry defeats Voldemort and takes over cause yeah it makes sense to segregate the wizarding and muggle worlds. Voldemort just didn't have a good strategy
*Maybe Harry switched sides but even Snape and Draco didn't know until Voldemort reveals Harry as his heir (I would love to see this in Snape or Dracos POV. Imagine how terrified theyd be of what Harry could've told Voldemort!?)
* Maybe Harry and Voldemort have lots of conversations in parseltongue which freaks out the death eaters cause no one can understand it obviously so who knows what kind of things they're plotting

Summary: On Dumbledore's orders, Severus Snape is sent to Little Whinging for damage control when a young Harry Potter finds himself on top of the school roof. Not only has he apparated there in front of most the school and cannot get down, but the ministry has caught wind of his display and has sent their own representative to investigate with authorization to take control of the boy should it be needed. Who? None other than Dolores Umbridge. Severus has his work cut out for him.

Summary: Sirius is killed after being kissed by the dementors third year. Harry has lost all hope of a caring adult in his life and his behavior spins out of control. Could be drugs, alcohol, shoplifting, disturbance of the peace etc.
[Report This]
Summary: Severus Snape has been arrested and sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss or execution. Dumbledore and any other Order members who actually trust him are either dead or otherwise unavailable to help, so it's down to Harry, Ron and Hermione to find proof of his innocence. If they miss their very tight deadline (e.g. 24 hours), it will be too late.
