Poll (Updated with a NEW! option)

As I'm sure most of you will now be accustomed to, but I am often plagued with flights of fancy, and throwing a spanner in the works when it comes to new stories, polls, and so forth.

So, with Dead Memories no longer being an option, and some of the options below not as seemingly popular as I thought they might be, I am adding another, because I can...

NEW! Crossing Over (Inspired by the unfinished work Passageways by Jerrway69 (Harry/ Cassiopeia Black)

For those of you unfamiliar with the story mentioned above, I have linked it here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8378840/1/Passageways

With Sirius having been killed in the Department of Mysteries, Harry wishes only to escape the haunting memory of his Godfather passing through the veil, but such a blessing could never be.

Perhaps it was a moment of madness, or one of hope that he returned to the Ministry of Magic to see for himself that Sirius was truly gone, or maybe it was to get closure on yet another miserable chapter of his life.

Upon arriving, however, the voices he heard whispering to him became clearer, speaking to him of another place where his godfather was not dead. All he needed to do was use the cloak left to him by his father to follow Sirius.

What could go wrong?

Okay, so there is a lot to unpack with this story...

• Time will move differently between each world, which will be explained as the story progresses.

• In the new world Harry finds himself in, he will meet a younger Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald before the breakdown in their relationship.

• Harry will inadvertently change things from his own universe, and not necessarily for the better when it comes to the wars to come. (Maybe Harry vs Dumbledore/Grindelwald or Harry vs Dumbledore vs Grindelwald, with maybe some back and forth working together between the three to suit them... who knows?

• The relationship between him and Cassiopeia will be an enemies>lovers thing. It will certainly not be straight forward.

• The Hallows will feature in this, of course, and Harry will use the Peverell name, which gives you a clue as to why both Dmbledore and Gellert are interested in him initially.

• As ever, this will be a darker grey Harry, with a slew of characters returning from previous stories, and new ones to boot.

  Any questions, do drop them below...

A Promise Kept (Harry goes to Ilvermorny, Rated M)

Sirius arrives in Godric's Hollow to find the Potter home in ruins.

Upon crossing the threshold, he finds the body of his best friend, and hurry's upstairs to find Harry alive but sporting the mark of a dark curse, and an unconscious but alive Lily Potter.

As he contemplates his revenge on the man that betrayed them, the woman wakes, and Sirius knows that they are not safe here.

What happened to the Dark Lord, he cannot be sure.

All that remains of the man is his discared wand and torn robes upon the floor.

Despite his lack of understanding of what has occurred, he knows he needs to get Harry and Lily to safety, and as Hagrid arrives, there is only one place that comes to mind...

• Voldemort keeps his promise to Snape not to kill Lily

• LIly survives and believes that Britain is not safe for her and her son.

• Sirius helps her flee to America where they live in hiding whilst raising Harry, who attends Ilvermorny, but of course, he cannot escape his Fate.

• I do not want to give too much away here, but there will be romance, and Harry will return to Britain when it fits with the story.

• There will be a slew of new characters to explore, and a whole new magical culture, different magics, and maybe even companions...

• Sirius and Lily will NOT be romantically involved.

The Boy Who Laughed

Tormented by the murder of his parents and raised in a household that only fed the darkness he harboured, one with such an already tainted soul could only be salvaged so far, if at all.

If only the new world he found himself in could be so kind, perhaps the boy would not wish such suffering on those whom he considered his enemies.

This is not a meek Harry Potter looking for acceptance, but a boy shaped and jaded by his experience seeking only an opportunity for vengeance.

He remembered his mother’s pleading and would never forget that he was left to suffer a life of misery.

Those responsible would reap what they had sown.

Tom Riddle may have struck fear into the heart of wizarding Britain, but Harry Potter would devour it if necessary to bathe in the blood of those who had wronged him.

Important notes about this story.

- It will be a Dark Harry who is willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goals.

- It will follow canon events until it no longer does.

- Both Voldemort and Dumbledore will be antagonists.

- Pairing is undecided, but there will be romantic aspects throughout.

- The Horcrux will influence Harry, but it won’t be Voldemort as such, more so that it amplifies certain qualities about him.

- It is loosely based on ‘The Batman Who Laughs’. For those of you unfamiliar, a quick Youtube shorts will explain all you need to know, particularly how the Horcrux will affect Harry.

- The Horcruxes will be a key part of the story and Harry’s character progression. (No, he will not be absorbing them).

- This is something of a prequel to my planned Multi-verse story with several already-established iterations of Harry I have already written.

Godfather (Rated M)

Having blown up his Aunt Marge, Harry flees Privet Drive.

Believing himself to now be a fugitive, he does not know what he will do, until he runs into a large, shaggy, who is much more than he seems…

-             Instead of going to The Leaky Cauldron, Harry heads to Grimmauld Place with Sirius, who is bent on revenge, but realises that Harry needs him more than he could’ve imagined.

-             This will develop into quite an epic story which will see Harry learn valuable lessons from his Godfather, whom he chooses to stay with instead of returning to Hogwarts… for the beginning portion of the story.

-             Harry will be heavily influenced by Sirius in many ways, but his time in Grimmauld Place will see him learn much that he would never be given the opportunity to at Hogwarts, changing him in many ways.

-             The pairing for this will be an eventual Harry/Hannah Abbot, something we do not see often in Fanfiction.

-             Her character will be explored in depth, and she will have her own journey throughout.

-             Will fit canon events where required but will inevitably deviate away from it.
