Summary: Twin idea: You know how fanon at least says Harry has a saving people complex? What if it wasn’t putting his neck out but healing? Because of future plans of being a doctor, he resists any attempts to go to Hogwarts, or any other magical main school for lack of muggle subjects/help in his future career and is quite content at attending Stonewall High…this can also make Petunia & Vernon treat him better when they learn he chooses to forsake magic or, just one relative since he’s 1. Lived without magic for 10 years, 2. Has no real attachment to his parents, 3. thinking about his future. If…when…they press it (ministry and dumbledore), Vernon and/or petunia can question about his muggle education or future beyond Hogwarts if/when he chooses to go back to the muggle world. Maybe petunia, as he gets near Hogwarts age has to tell Harry what happened to his mother (aka she went to Hogwarts and was killed by a madman). Or, if it’s Vernon being treated normally, he says this as well as why he hates magic (possibly scared of it, James ‘bragging’ about being rich when they met). Now for the sake of plot, Harry is forced to go and not surprisingly, Snape is sent to fetch potter and bring him back by any means necessary (or the aurors on ministry orders) to attend Hogwarts. Oh and he clashes with Hermione because she loves magic and thinks it’s the best thing ever and obviously has no plans of ever returning to the muggle world, so they aren’t friends but rivals. Because of these changes, Harry and his aunt and uncle or Harry and Vernon at least are in good terms with each other through Harry’s education. What role would Snape play besides possibly kidnapping Harry? He could be put as Harry’s magical guardian at Hogwarts or mentor? Ron, being a pureblood, doesn’t understand why the ‘famous Harry potter’ doesn’t think magic is amazing. You can also give him a side muggle career as well (always good to have at least 2 future plans in place if one doesn’t work out). So Harry is allowed to do better in school and doesn’t get in trouble for it. If Vernon is chosen to be the caring one, could lead to a divorce with petunia getting her ‘Ickle diddydums’ and Vernon getting ‘that nasty boy’.
Required:
- Harry decides to attend Stonewall and forsake magic, even rejecting attempts to get him to Hogwarts
- Snape (orders from Albus) or Aurors (order of Ministry)-one or the other-retrieve Harry from Stonewall and force him to go to Hogwarts
- Harry having good relationship with uncle Vernon and/or Petunia. At least Vernon where they wrote letters, Snape gets to help Vernon see a Qudditch match
- Harry fighting being taken from his friends/school.
- Harry not forsaking his Muggle career/careeers and future plans just he says he had to come to Hogwarts
- Harry does well in school. Furthermore Harry is good at something besides or in addition to DADA.
- Harry must have a backup career but main is being a doctor. Not a healer or an Auror, a doctor. Two Muggle career options.
- Harry must have at least one hobby. Art? Fencing? Swimming? Esquatarian? Dance? Music? Theater? Martial Arts of some kind? Hunting? Gardening? Baking? Show this hobby or hobbies in the story?
- Harry, if/when he finds out his 'destiny'/the prophecy rejecting it and refusing to fight.
- Must include the following lines: "She left to be in that world and was killed for not being pure! What about his education? His muggle education? How is he supposed to function in the world, the real world, if he has no record after his primary schooling?! You...you wizards take children away from their families and they either flounder if they can't find work in the magical world or they leave their parents, their family behind! Harry has said no! Why must you keep hounding us?! I don't lose my nephew like his mother was lost!"
- If Vernon is the caring one, Dumbledore objecting due to Vernon not being a blood relative, since Harry 'must be with a blood relative to be safe'.
- Harry running away from Hogwarts after being taken by force.
- Harry willingly going home for holidays/vacations
- Explore the wizard world inside and outside UK.
Optional:
If Vernon is the caring adult, he divorces Petunia and takes custody of Harry with Dudley being in Petunia's custody
Harry and Hermione having a rivalry at school
Creature inheritance; if so how does Vernon and/or Petunia deal with this? Preferably different from vampire, elf, werewolf, demon, Angel. If Gargoyle for example, he turns to stone when his gargoyle inheritance activates. If half goblin, he shrinks in size. If he is a half giant he grows in size/can no longer fly and has trouble sitting at desks, going down narrow stairs, sleeping in a small bed, appetite gets bigger, etc. Harry must learn about his creature race by meeting them and spending time with them. If he is a dark creature, he must he registered at the ministry.
Slash or Harems are fine. Unusual or rare pairings. If you want him straight go ahead. If you want a slash harem go ahead.
Harry isn't interested in quidditch or chooses not to do so in 1st year.
Crossovers
James and/or Lily not being his parents. If this is the case no blood/magical or muggle adoption, meaning Harry is not the heir to potter/peverell. Prophecy doesn't apply to Harry in this case.
Forbidden/Don't want to see:
- Snape adopting Harry be it blood, magical or muggle adoption
- Harry being Snape's bio kid
- Harry being son /descendant of founders/merlin/mordred/morgana/Pendragon and no filthy rich Harry
- No lordships/aristrocracy like in fanon
- Op/super powered Harry
- Genderbend Harry
- Romantic involvement with Ginny, Luna, Draco, Daphne, Hermione, Susan, Tracey, Pansy, Bellatrix, either Lestrange brother, Blaise, Theodore
- Sirius and/or Remus getting custody of Harry
- No stag animagus or patronus. Remember he had never seen his parents and it's been 10 or so years. He has no attachment to them.

Summary: Fifth year, Harry and his friends are riding on thestrals to fly to the Department of Mysteries. They have no saddles, harnesses, ropes, nor other safety measures keeping them on the creatures. During the ride, Harry accidentally falls off his threstral in mid-air. Luckily for Harry, Snape was following them the whole time, flying himself. Snape is close enough to catch Harry before Harry falls to his death.

Summary: Harry decides to stay at Hogwarts for the summer, with permission or not. He can get into the Chamber of Secrets and hide out there, he's the only one who could get into it. And with Dobby's help he could survive, right?

Summary: During Harry's first year at Hogwarts Dumbledore insists that Harry go home for Christmas. Things don't go as he plans. Will Harry meet someone he doesn't expect that can help him home?
Harry sat alone in the cold winter night on the side of the road with nothing but the clothes on his back. He didn't even have his coat. Hs Uncle had seen to that.
Harry sighed and sat down on a near by bench trying to figure out what to do. His relatives had dumped him here soon after they had picked him up from the train. The Headmaster had thought that they would want to see him for Christmas, he was very wrong.
Snow started to fall gently on Harry and the young boy wrapped his arms around himself. He needed to find somewhere warm to go first and then he could think of what to do later. With that thought Harry got up still with his arms wrapped around his body and started to walk to the near by town. He hoped that there was a coffee shop or something he could crash in for a bit.

Summary: Dudley is also a freak! Harry can do magic, but what happens when their precious Dudders also starts making weird stuff happen? Only rules are Dudley MUST be treated the same way Harry is treated (no nice dursleys either; canon or worse-- they cant suddenly be okay with wizards or abnormal things). Harry isn't alone in his cupboard anymore (metaphorically speaking or literally, up to you). Do the dursleys hide both away and pretend they dont have any kids? Do they put them both in an orphanage? Does Vernon divorce petunia for having a magical child? When they go to Hogwarts, how does dudley take it knowing his cousin is famous and he's considered a mud blood? Does harry stick with dudley? Is Dudley still a bully at all? Do the dursleys even allow dudley to attend Hogwarts in the first place? Just a few bits to think on as you write

Summary: Severus is exceptionally glad to be away from Hogwarts for Christmas this year, because it's been one heck of a term. Most of the students had gone home so he was able to go home as well since several other staff were staying at the school. Severus is surprised when he hears carolers outside his house singing, especially in his dingy neighborhood. Or is it just one caroler that he hears? He opens the window or front door to see who's out there singing in the dark and is surprised to find Harry Potter, quietly singing himself a sad Christmas song as he sits huddled in the snow trying to keep warm.
Preferably Harry is a 1st or 2nd year.

Summary: Snape has no or very little magic. This is why he put all his focus onto potions during his own Hogwarts years; he never wanted to be the laughingstock when people realized he was basically a squib. Now, as a professor, he can get away with intimidating students and the only magic he needs to do publicly is light a fire under a cauldron.
Requirements:
- Harry finds out that Snape is basically a squib
- Voldemort doesn't know about Snape's magical ability
- No enemies Harry and Draco. I'd like it if they were dating or at least friends but they can basically ignore each other for all I care. Just don't make them enemies.
- No Harry/Ginny or Harry/Hermione or Harry/Cho or Harry/Luna or Harry/Severus or Harry/Voldemort -- honestly it doesn't have to have a romantic pairing at all but if you do, none of these!
Suggestions:
- Maybe Snape created a potion that temporarily gives him a magic boost for when he knows he's going to need to do something big in public
- Think about how does Harry find out? He's not the type to use it against Snape or to spread it around but Snape definitely wouldn't trust Harry to keep it to himself. So how does Snape deal with Harry Potter of all people knowing his most personal secret?

Summary: Throughout his many detentions scrubbing cauldrons, Harry often sings to himself without realising. Snape would usually find this infuriating. Yet he doesn’t. Because Harry actually has quite a lovely singing voice.
