Everyone remembers the night Voldemort disappeared. Almost nobody remembers what happened three weeks later.

Elias Vane was a junior Ministry clerk, assigned to catalogue documents recovered from the homes of suspected Death Eaters.

One afternoon, he found a letter with no sender.

It was addressed to him.

Inside were two sentences:

They told you I died.

What did they tell you happened to me?

Elias recognized the handwriting immediately.

He had seen it in dozens of confiscated documents.

Lord Voldemort.

The letter was dated 31 October 1981.

The night Voldemort disappeared.

Before Elias could decide whether it was a forgery, someone knocked on the archive door.

Three times.

Then a voice came from the other side.

“Mr. Vane.”

A pause.

“I believe you have something that belongs to me.”

How far can Harry advance if Flitwick taught Harry how to fight starting in first year?

Here is the premise. When Harry alongside Ron tackles the troll to save Hermione, Filius Flitwick decides that Harry is going to be a trouble magnet and decides to teach him how to handle himself in sticky situations.

Over the next few years he trains Harry three nights a week (with Hermione and Ron joining him at least once a week) on combat magic, physical conditioning and hand to hand combat. Filius occasionally brings in Minerva on some of these lessons. He turns out to be a fantastic mentor in this regard.

So here are some questions. Just how far along do you think Harry would be by the time of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, in his Fifth Year and at the end of his Sixth Year assuming lessons continue until then. How formidable could he potentially be? Last and not least, how could this training affect events that occur down the line?

After escaping Azkaban, Sirius hides in a Muggle neighborhood and overhears an old story about a piper from Hamlin Germany and he thought 'If he could do it pie-eyed maybe I can sober.'

Picking up a pipe from a cheap Muggle music shop, he made his way into the Scottish Highlands.

Shortly after, the school was haunted by a horrible, chaotic screeching sound from the Forbidden Forest.

'Maybe I SHOULD have practiced more as a kid,' Sirius bemoaned. 'Who would have thought my mother's music lessons would actually have been useful?'

Undeterred, Sirius kept playing and practicing, much to the chagrin of everyone around him.

Hermione isn’t human and her friends don’t care.

Basically, Hermione isn’t human. She never had been. For all her smarts, she doesn’t quite remember how she came into the world as a daughter of two human dentists. Still, her parents were nice, but interacting with other humans her “age” was boring, which is why she turned to literature.

Then she was taken to Hogwarts after being discovered as a “witch.” By technicality, she was, but she was a little miffed that her powers were limited to just “magic.” Anyways, she went to this magic school. Despite her vast knowledge of the universe, her memories that transcended time, she was still a child in human flesh, so her emotions still affected her unlike other entities.

She still felt excitement from seeing the floating candles. She still felt happiness from being sorted. She still felt annoyed her classmates don’t follow the rules (her existence doesn’t follow the rules as well but still!). She still felt hurt when her peers called her bossy and made fun for having no friends.

And then she felt something weird when two boys burst into the restroom just when Hermione was about to deal with the Troll. It was really under control, but she was at least grateful for the interruption; it would’ve been a pain if she was figured out so soon.

She ended up friends with Harry and Ron. They felt… familiar. She think she knew them. Maybe in a different life? A different timeline perhaps? Whatever the case, she has a fondness for these friends of hers.

Yep. She’s going to have fun in this life with these two. She just has to make sure that she hides her true nature. She doesn’t want a repeat of what happened last time (she still shivered when she remembered accidentally blinding a few hundred people).

Time to be a totally human normal witch!

Meanwhile, Ron can instantly tell that something is off with Hermione. He doesn’t know why, but something about this girl made the hair on his neck stand up and the back of his eyes fuzzy. Still, she’s… nice, he guess. He guessed that she’s not a bossy know-and-all. She’s kind of cool (don’t tell her that!). Ron would let it go, just this once.

With Harry, he doesn’t notice any weirdness. Well, he does, but having his world turned upside down in a matter of months really forced him to be adaptable. He thinks Hermione is nice, albeit a little weird. But hey, they’re wizards and witches; everyone’s weird! He’s just happy that he got not one, but two new friends to hang out with! :D

How to Dominate Harry Potter

Daphne Greengrass has known since childhood that she is bound by a marriage contract to the future heir of the House of Black. She has always assumed that means Draco Malfoy.

So, from the moment she arrives at Hogwarts, Daphne makes a point of establishing exactly what kind of wife she intends to be. If Draco is going to be her future husband, she refuses to let him-or anyone else-mistake her for a meek, obedient pureblood daughter.

She bullies him. Not cruelly, perhaps, but relentlessly.

Draco and his usual entourage-Crabby, Goyel, Theo Nott, and Pansy Parkinson-quickly become frequent targets of Daphne's carefully calculated attempts to assert herself. She challenges Draco in class, undercuts his posturing, refuses to be intimidated by his friends, and generally makes it very clear that if she is eventually forced to marry him, he is going to have to learn to deal with her.

Not to mention how she clowns on Malfoy's gang when it comes to academics.

Then sixth year arrives, and Daphne discovers that she has been wrong about one rather important detail.

The heir of the House of Black isn't Draco Malfoy.

It's Harry Potter.

Which leaves Daphne with a problem.

She had spent years preparing herself to deal with Draco Malfoy: a spoiled brat who ran crying to his parents the moment things didn't go his way.

How exactly is she supposed to assert herself over someone who takes on three-headed giant dogs, basilisk-es and dragons, stands up to dark wizards; and is delusional enough to think he's destined to kill Voldemort? There was an air of danger around him that made her think he was handsome.

Not objectively handsome.

Harry Potter had untidy hair, an unfortunate wardrobe, and un-stylish glasses. Daphne had standards. She had eyes. She knew what handsome looked like.

So whatever this was, it couldn't possibly be attraction.

Potter seemed to find her weak attempts to intimidate him rather adorable. And she could not find it in herself to be properly rude to him when he was being such a gentleman. He did tease her sometimes, but it was playful. She coud tell. She was starting to wonder if Potter was genuinely just a nice boy who liked her. Or at the very least, found her not un-attractive.

Mentor Harry Helps a group of Kids to save the world

Digimon Multi cross.

At 18 years old, Harry James Potter had a eventful life. He was orphaned by a Magical Terrorist when he was 1 year old. He lived the next 11 years with his aunt and uncle in Number 4, Privet Drive, and he discovered that he was a wizard in his 11th birthday. Obviously that was nothing after helping to save a entire different world after the chamber of secret fiasco, but that was also one of the best things that happened to him. Thanks to his partner he was able to save his godfather from the dementors (also he was able to capture pettigrew in the process and prove Sirius innocence), and had a strong ally against every enemy that tried to kill him in the later years. Sadly, Voldemort was able to regain a body for a while, but having a entity capable to destroy a mountain with one attack as you partner its a good tool to derail the entire issue.

But Potter Luck won't be denied for too long, and after visiting his girlfriend in Japan, a trip to the mountains near Odaiba ends with him in that same world that he and his friends saved years ago, with a group of children that also were called to that world for that same reason. Now Harry has a choice, he could go and join the children and guide them, or he could help them from the shadows to allow them to grow.

Soo, this is something that im working in my spare time, in spanish (main language). RN i have 4 of the 5 tamers that saved the Digital world planned, and Harry would be the leader (he is also the oldest of the 5).

The tamers (and their partners)

Harry Potter (18y) and Jesmon (Can Access to his GX form, but he had it sealed because it isn't needed for now)

At 12 years old, a week after the end of his second year, Harry ends in a Digital world that is at war. He is found by a group of Digimon, the young Royal Knight in training Huckmon, and his entourage, the Sistermons and Gankoomon. After several adventures he and Huckmon meet the other tamers. At the end of the advemture, Jesmon decided to travel with him to Britain, helping him with his own war in the process. (Everything changes after PoA, mostly because Huckmon was able to capture Peter, and was able to derail the other books)

Usagi Tsukino (17y) and Dianamon (She can access to GraceNovamon if needed)

Shirou Emiya (17y) and Ragnalordmon (He has both Durandamon and Bryweludramon as partners)

Ranma Saotome (17y) and BanchoLeomon

??? (Female 16y) and.??? (im stumped here, any good ideas about a female character that could be in this mess?)

Didn't expanded into the others because its a work in progress and things could change if needed.

Harry and Rita Makes a Deal

Set in GoF.

If there was something that Harry hated, was to agree with Vernon Dursley about something. In this particular situatuon, was the fact that, in Vernon words, one of the biggest evils in the world were Journalists (Politicians being first and magical people being a close second). But, facing against Rita Skeeter in that cramped space, he had to agree with that... But Harry faced down Voldemort 2 times, so he won't back down.

But, while reading what the Dicta-quill was writing, Harry was suddenly struck with inspiration. If Journalism was evil, why not use that evil in his favour?

"Miss Skeeter" Harry began, while thinking carefully. What he would do now could change everything, but it could also backfire if he fumbled it. "I think that we began with the wrong foot here"

The Dicta-quill stopped. Rita, intrigued, decided to hear him. For some reason, she sensed that this could be a interesting opportunity. Harry, seeing that he had her attention, decided to continue.

"I understand that you want to get the biggest scoop, and talking about the Boy-who-lived would be the notice of the day, but..." Harry paused for a moment, what he would say next would be the selling point of his argument. "What if i could give you a real notice? Something that could be the biggest scoop of you entire career?"

"Oh?" Rita's eyes sparkled with hungry interest, and decided to give harry the benefit of the doubt. "What could be this story, that could be better that speaking about the Fourth Champion of the Triwizard Tournament?"

"What about a Innocent Wizard that was incarcerated in Azkaban for 12 years without trial? And that the minister has been trying to give the Dementor Kiss to save face about the fact that he was able to escape Azkaban?"

And everything changed because of that.

Harry Potter is the last noble wizard

While Harry was with the Dursley’s, years prior to him learning about Hogwarts, a terrorist released a disease designed to kill all human males. However, before the disease could run its course, a cure was found and distributed around the world. But due to both their isolation and prejudices, the wizardly community never learned about this cure, leading to almost every male wizard dying from the disease. The main exceptions being those that lived in and had ties to the muggle community. Young Harry Potter being one of them, though with the death of Professor Dumbledore, nobody in the magical world knew where he lived in order to check on him, leading to everyone assuming he was dead, until the day the acceptance letters for Hogwarts went out.

Harry, Hermione & Ron go Back in Time to Change the Past

So Harry and his friends go back in time to change the future, but not for the usual reasons. The blood war ends just as in canon, with no real difference. No the real reason that has them decide to go back is because there's no much needed baby boom to help Magical Britain to recover.

Harry brings up the notion that the society of Magical Britain is far too prudish for its own good. At first Ron and Hermione look at Harry like he's mental but when they start looking at the society with a critical eye, they notice the same thing.

Eventually they decide to go back in time to fix society by introducing the Hogwarts student body to the raunchiest R & B and other pop music they can find. They're going to save the future by igniting the libidos of their generation. They're gonna get that baby boom if it kills them!

"Don't Fear the Reaper" gone wrong.

Set-up: Harry died multiple times in multiple different ways, over and over, until the final time he even was sent back with his memories from the life before the final one.

He failed again.

Now that Harry is gone. His soul wiped and recycled with a black mark- forever barred from any life where the soul will matter or have any impact on the world. Destined to never again have any role of importance.

That still leaves the Prophecy needing to be fulfilled and Voldemort stopped. So its time for a new soul to take on the job/role.

SI/new soul gets sent back (at any point of choice, from pre-first year, to any point later in the timeline, and not limited to canon- see below)

The new soul, not being familiar with magic, is sent back with the combination of all the memories of each of the previous lifetimes/timelines. None of them canon.

I'll repeat that: none of the previous lifetimes were Canon.

Some were in each of the different Hogwarts Houses, some had him leaving the country/trying to run from his destiny, some had him getting raised outside the country only to be found and dragged back away from the ones who raised him, some had things go horribly wrong (arrive to warn Hermione only to find the troll dragging her dead and broken body, getting knocked off his broom by Quirrel, surviving when the scarcrux got taken and medical aid was able to "revive" him, Ron refusing to go get treated for the dragon bite only to end up dying from the venom, only for him to then end up dying to the Devil's Snare), etc etc.

So the new soul/"Harry" has to figure out what to do when none of the memories of the past lives actually resembled Canon, and even the closest examples just showed him not having/being able to rely on luck/plot armor.

Harry Potter Sorcerer Supreme

Obviosly MCU crossover but only for the magic of MCU Sorcerers.

Harry spent a lot of time in Diagon Alley his 2nd summer after starting Hogwarts. A good chunk of his time was fully exploring the contents of his vault. behind the massive piles of coins were chest, crates and trunks.

After the deaths of Fleamont and Euphemia James couldn’t bear to live in his family’s ancestral homes. too many such homes were being damaged and burnt by Death Eaters so he packed up the entire contents of the estate and moved it to the vault. all the furniture was shrunken to fill house size and neatly layered in chests, the contents of his family’s library the collections of books, scroll, journals, tablet, grimoires and private records were placed into crates, paintings, portraits, heirlooms, jewelr, weaponry, armor etc were placed into expanded trunks.

Harry had a blast poking through the crates in his family vault and decided to take a few of the items with him to study. one crate contained an odd ring of sorts as well.

basically Harry’s family once studied dimensional energies and the types of magic Kamar Taj taught. the Ancient one was one of his ancestors but she was killed and all the other sorcerers like her leaving all the knowledge artifacts etc to be guarded by her remaining family.

Harry would have to teach himself this new kind of magic and hopefully someone wrote about the dangers and left warnings behind.

you can also make it so that the resurrection stone is the soul stone if you want to include infinity stones in the story. The time stone could be what led to the time sands and eventually time turners.

it would be cool to find that the Potters or one of the families in Harry’s ancestry were responsible to ensure the shield around earth was upheld To keep dimensional horrors away. Maybe Luna shares that ancestry too?
