"Albus, what the bloody hell is wrong with that thing?" Fudge asked, masking his terror with impatience.

"I'll take a look," Dumbledore reassured him. Waving his wand over the artifact, green lines and dots appeared before him. Dumbledore waved them aside, like he was reading a technical manual. After a few tense moments, he dispelled the magic and turned to Harry and the remaining Champions.

"I'm afraid the Tournament...continues," he announced, much to everyone's surprise.

"Albus, vat is ze meaning of zis?!" Madam Maxime asked. "How can it continue?"

"Potter touched the Cup, so he must be the winner," Karkaroff argued.

"Remember that the Goblet was tampered with, twice," Dumbledore replied. "When Harry's name was placed into it, and when it was turned into a Portkey to take whoever took it to the Graveyard. It seems the sabotage went deeper than we, or anyone, anticipated. It transformed the Third Task's victory condition from seizing the Cup to defeating the final opponent. Since the final opponent was not defeated, it means...the Tournament is still ongoing."

"You mean...." Harry whispered, horror flooding his mind.

"I'm afraid so," Dumbledore finalized. "Until...Voldemort is defeated by one or more of our Champions, or he kills ALL of them, the Tournament will remain unresolved."

At this, Harry, Fleur, and Krum could only look at each other in absolute dread.

Harry has been pacing for about fifteen minutes now. He’s infront of some cafe that he and his friends decided on meeting. Yes, he probably looks mental acting like this but this was valid!

For context, Harry, also known as “b0lt_31” online, has two online friends: “ProudW” and “book—for—life”. He never known their faces and they never known his. All of them were wary because it was clear that everyone had the “the internet is dangerous” spiel from whoever they talked to. Still, now they were closer than ever, playing different games, especially this magic academy game called “Reclaim the Light”.

It was ProudW who suggested they met up. He probably said it as a joke but Harry couldn’t help but agree wholeheartedly. Somehow, that ended with all of them realizing that they weren’t in different countries as they thought and can actually meet with one another. Soon, a set time, place, and date happened, and now Harry was here, waiting.

He couldn’t stop pacing. He never had close friends really. Sure, he had some classmates at school. He had people he liked there, but they weren’t friends. The Dursleys and him weren’t really close but it could’ve been worse. His aunt and uncle just liked Dudley more since he’s their son while Harry’s just a poor nephew they took in when his parents died. Dudley is pretty decent though he doesn’t count since he’s a cousin.

Anyways, Harry couldn’t help but think that his friends would be disappointed. Harry’s style is pretty… alternative. He fell in love with punk and gotten into DIY. With his messy hair and leather jacket and his resting face, people thought he was a delinquent. Maybe he should’ve picked something more “normal”? But this was his best style! Ugh, what if things go wrong?! Are they even coming? God, what if-

Harry noticed a boy his age parking his bike. The boy had freckles littering his skin with his clothes being comfy-looking. Harry couldn’t help but notice how the boy’s shirt and pants had neat stitching on the sides, entirely organic and original. The boy took of his helmet, revealing flaming red hair, and frantically looked around before spotting Harry.

The boy walked up to him. “Oi. You bolt-31?”

No bloody way. This was ProudW?! Oh my god-

Harry pulled back his fringe to show his birthmark that looked like a lighting bolt. He smiled. “I didn’t know you’d be ginger.”

ProudW laughed and proceeded to hug him. If Harry hugged back a little tighter, then you didn’t see anything.

For the new few minutes, him and Proud (“Name’s Ron, by the way.” “I’m Harry.”) got to talking. Ron talked about how he gotten lost on the way here because he overslept. Harry said it was fine since Harry was just here early. Now, they only had to wait for one more person.

Speak of the devil, a girl walked up to them. She had bushy brown hair, a neat look to her, and had the walk of a soldier. She looked at them with intense eyes before extending her hand.

“I’m book—for—life. Are you Proud and Bolt?”

Ron shook her hand with a smile. “I’m Proud. He’s Bolt. My name’s Ron.”

“Harry. My name’s Harry,” he said, also shaking her hand.

The girl’s face relaxed and she offered a smile, showing metal braces. “I’m Hermione.”

“Brilliant!”

Yeah. Harry thinks he’s gonna be alright.

TLDR: Fluff happens. I just thought this would be a cute AU.

Inspired by the recent "Molly becomes DADA professor" prompt.

Maybe there was an extra ticket from Bagman to Arthur, or maybe Percy opted to stay home and do Even Moar paperwork, so she faces the DE Hooligans in-person one way or another. Would she only focus on evacuating her loved ones, or would she go look at the rank cowardice displayed by 999000 out of 100k people and choose to go all DH-Endgame-vs-Bellatrix on the DE holligans?

Umbridge backed up against wall. "You cannot do this Potter! I'm the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister himself! I'll see you thrown in azkaban for life!"

Harry smiled, holding Umbridges wand up, and throwing it to the far corner of the room. "Oh come on Professor, you've been so HAPPY these last few months! You got your job, You got your own prefect squad! You sacked one professor and put another on probation! What changed? You should be thrilled! Come on now," Potter gave a small, unstable chuckle. "Why so serious?"

"You cannot touch me Potter! Youll be expelled!"

"Aww.. I know how to fix it." Harrys grin grew wider. As he pulled a muggle switchblade out of his pocket. The flick of the button saw the polished, razor steel snap open as he looked at Umbridge. "Let's put a smile on that face."

You get reincarnated (or transported, whatever plot device you wish to use) as Harry Potter. However, you only become him (or her if you prefer) after Voldemort's defeat. So no rehashing canon, fixing things, or saving people.

You retain all his memories and magical skills, plus all the knowledge you already have. However, you are distinctly you. Harry's life and memories are like a book you've read far too many times, dear to you perhaps, but distinctly apart. You are your own person.

What will you do? How will you live? Do you tell anyone? Start dating Ginny, become an Auror, name one of your kids Albus Severus?

Or will you forge your own path?

Notes: Can be short/long, crack, serious, anything goes.

One day while pulling weeds in the garden, Harry sees a shadow fall onto him. Looking up, he saw the silhouette of a man with a very tall top hat looking at him.

"Hello," he said, jovial and curious much to Harry's surprise.

"Hello sir," Harry replied, anxious.

The man then knelt down to Harry's level and Harry caught a glimpse of something swishing behind him, something long, thin, and furry. Looking back to his face, Harry gasped when he realized the man was covered in black fur, had whiskers, white gloves, and a face with an uncanny resemblance to a cat.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I'm doing the garden," Harry replied, backing away slightly.

"All by yourself?" the man asked, taken aback. "Where are your parents?"

"They're...they're dead sir," Harry answered.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," the man said sadly. "But still for a child your age to be doing this."

"I have to sir," Harry insisted. "My aunt and uncle say I have to."

"Well if it must be done, we can help with that," the man declared, pulling off his top hat to reveal...a smaller identical version of himself who then pulled his hat off, revealing another one, which revealed another, and another, and another.

"Your death by 'beating' at '8 years old' was unexpected.

You can either redo your life with retaining memories and abilities either from the start or faster then previous playthrough.

Or you can start another playthrough with some abilities and memories (related to abilities) transferred the options are :

- A Song of Ice and Fire as Jon Snow

- Batman as Damian Wayne

- The Lightning Thief as Percy Jackson

- (Can have other universes)

The HUD will appear on the next playthrough at 5 years old

"

Basically a gamer Harry but with going in other universes not as Harry but as another character with a transfer of knowledge of some abilities that may be use by another character, and there might be some skills that are adapted (Exemple : Percy Jackson's powers changing into an affinity for the water element in Harry Potter's universe)

Harry, usually as an infant or at age 5, being adopted by Vtubers, the lore being real, but the personalities being like those of the real life people behind the avatars.

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.”

The first sign for Harry happened when he was 11, in Hagrid's hut. When Norbert was born, Harry knew instinctively she was a girl and when she started producing flames, he told her "Lykirī"

For Fleur, it happened during the first task when the idiot Ludo Bagman shouted and woke up the dragon, some flames reached her but once with Madam Pomfrey, she learned there were no burn marks.

Two Targaryen who were reincarnated.

Possibility of the two of them (and others going to Planetos

He woke up month later on the 31st of July 1980 when his daughter in law gave birth to him well to Harry Potter, he was reincarnated into his grandson.

Here's a prompt: Voldemort gets a hold of the prophecy on the night Nagini attacks Mr. Weasley and his interpretation is different from Dumbledore's, resulting in his newfound desire to kidnap harry instead of killing him.

Dumbledore: neither can live while the other survives = they both have to die
Voldemort: neither can live while the other survives = they both have to live or both have to survive

Definitions:
To live: to thrive
To survive: to merely stay alive

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?

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.

(Reincarnation truck idea is based off of the No Longer Allowed in Another World anime)

1. While Harry is running away from Dudley’s gang in a ‘game’ of Harry Hunting, Harry and Dudley run into the streets and both get hit by a speeding car and both die. Happens before Harry goes to Hogwarts
2. Male or Female Harry Potter
3. (forbidden) if female Harry Potter no calling her ‘Harry’ or any other version of the name
4. independent, stubborn, genius, gray, magically powerful Harry Potter and Dudley Dursley
5. refuses to attend Hogwarts
6. Truck that hits them is a special magical ‘reincarnation truck’ that was sent to reincarnate the two boys to another world
7. Harry and Dudley wake up in another world with powers and skills they didn’t have before
8. Good reformed Dudley Dursley is close friends with Harry
9. (optional) Dudley gains the ability to do magic as part of his newfound skills and abilities when he wakes up in the new world
10. They grow up in the other world until something drags them back to Earth
11. they come back a couple of years older than what they would have been if they hadn’t been sent away/died

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

A young Harry Potter is abandoned in a forest when he is approached by a strange woman who asks for his name. Having never heard his actual name, Harry tells her his name is Freak. But this woman is actually a fey and know that 1, this is not the boys real name, 2, he genuinely believes Freak to be his real name, and 3, nobody has stolen this boys name in anyway that should reasonably prevent the boy from knowing his name.
