Summary:

The abuse at the Dursley's was worse than Harry remembers. After every severe incident, Dumbledore came to wipe child Harry's memory. But memory charms are not infallible. Especially not repeated, frequent ones over many years. Harry is now experiencing strange symptoms, maybe they are flashbacks? PTSD responses? But Harry can not fully remember, and the vague memories and reactions of his body are making his life very difficult. He is anxious, terrified, angry, all jumbled up, and he has difficulty with his schoolwork and other things. And he doesn't know why. He was told it is all a side effect of his scar, but he isn't sure.

Once, Twice...No, Better Be a Triple spy by Cayj

[Responses - 0]

Summary: Severus Snape was never on Dumbledore's side. What kind of pathetic would he have to be to truly have mourned and longed for a woman who held one simple mistake against him?! No, no. Severus Snape was once a death eater. Second a spy for the order. But third and always, he will be a Death Eater. Severus Snape knew Albus Dumbledore wasnt paying any attention to The Boy Who Lived. He also knew the Dark Lord would reward him greatly when he learned that he, Severus Tobias Snape, had singlehandedly handed him the war! How you say? By being the only person little Harry Potter believed he could trust of course. *** i expect Snape to mess with Harrys mind in this story of course; literally or not. Perhaps he just visits Harry often enough over the years that he ensures Harry would only trust him instead of Albus. Or maybe he feeds him compulsion potions over the years to the same goal. How do YOU see this going?

Out of the darkness by Swamygliders

[Responses - 0]

Summary: A little prompt to start with. :) End of fourth year after the triwizard tournament. Harry is having some thoughts and he receives help from someone unexpected.

It was the end of Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts. The triwizard tournament had finished and Harry had found himself sitting at the top of the astronomy tower. He couldn't keep his mind from drifting to Cedric, and how he wished so much that they had traded places. That Cedric was still here.

Harry looked down at the ground again and slid just a bit closer to the edge. What would happen if he were to accidentally fall? Voldemort was officially back, but was it really his job to take care of the maniac? If he wasn't here then the adults could take care of him. Form once they would have to fight for themselves instead of depend on some kid.

Maybe he should just slide off and fall to a peaceful end. Harry slid just a bit further forward and continued to look down at the great drop.

If he fell he wouldn't have to go back to the Dursley's home. Falling was looking more appealing by the moment.

As he slid just a bit further forward to fall off the edge a hand shot out of the darkness and grabbed his arm.

Occlumens Natural by Witchy_Clover

[Responses - 0]

Summary: So, suffice to say, Harry, after literally 10-11 years of physical and psychological abuse, should probably be able to repress his emotions and avoid thinking of things he doesn't want to. Thus, Harry, when he is pushed into Occlumency lessons, is quite the natural. Maybe he's even been unintentionally using it since before he learned about the wizarding world.

Once Upon a Hogwarts by Alexannah

[Responses - 0]

Summary: Not actually a crossover, but a Harry Potter version of Once Upon a Time, with all the HP characters together in a Muggle town with no magic and no memories of who they are, until the curse is broken. Just the show concept really, no need to try and mirror the show's plotlines.

Other wizarding cultures by MsHuntergrl

[Responses - 3]

Summary: Snape and Harry goes traveling abroad to other countries, experiencing other wizarding cultures.

They could just go to one other country, or several.

The reason for their leaving the UK could be anything; perhaps it is to escape the hype around Harry being the boy who lived? Or perhaps Snape is being threathened because of his background as a Death Eater? Or perhaps it is for educational purposes?

Bonus points if including minority cultures.

Off the Wagon by Alexannah

[Responses - 0]

Summary: Severus falls back into old habits. Somehow Harry is involved helping him out of them.

Idea 1: After discovering the Dursleys/Umbridge/someone else is/has been hurting Harry, Severus kills them.

Idea 2: Dumbledore lets Severus take the DADA post, but his fears of it bringing back out Severus' dark side are proved correct.

Idea 3: Voldemort discovers Severus is a traitor, but rather than instantly kill him, decides to try and turn his loyalty back.

Idea 4: Dark magic is an addictive substance. Severus has been using some sort of drug to control his cravings, but now there's a problem with the supply.

Or anything else you can think of!

Any category and point in canon goes. No Dumbledore bashing. No slash. No dark!Harry.

Bonus points for a story involving more than one of the ideas. Extra bonus points for one involving all four!
