Summary
In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.
Other consequences are not short-term at all.
Archived Author's Notes:
I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.
Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.
*I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.

the heir of something or other by dirgewithoutmusic for xiaoguban

Summary
When kids in the Slytherin Common Room tossed jeers at the pudgy feet of Millicent Bulstrode, Harry rose up to do something about it. This Harry, now one of Snape’s own, got fewer House points lost but many more detentions– it had never been the colors on his hem that Severus hated.
This was not wishing Harry an easy path. This was not wishing the boy a warm House. This was Harry, three weeks in, sleep deprived and considering running away and going back to Privet Drive. This was Harry in the back of Potions class, blank-faced under Snape’s disdain the way he’d perfected under the Dursleys’s torments.
When Quirrell shouted “troll in the dungeons, thought you ought to know,” and Harry overheard that there was a girl in the bathroom crying, he still ran off to make sure she got out okay. He hesitated first, at the back of the little pack of Slytherin first years (at the back so that no one could get behind him)– he hesitated.
And Millicent Bulstrode, who could never quite keep her tummy tucked in enough, could never brush all the cat hair off her robes, never quite keep her temper in check, hesitated, too.

Remember that time in Avengers 1 when Thor said "in my youth I courted war" but the last time he started a war that we literally saw on-screen was... one year ago??
Yeah, this is about that.

Summary
Harry has always known he was a Squib child left with his aunt and uncle, and that his parents are still alive, and that he won’t receive a Hogwarts letter. What only he seems to know was that he has magic; it’s just wild and does what it wants and refuses to show up for most people who have tried to investigate it. Harry leaves the Dursleys’ house at eleven to go find a way to tame his magic, while his twin, David Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, starts his first year at Hogwarts.

Summary
Severus Snape didn't know what was going on with Harry Potter. One minute he was having a seizure and spending the night in the Infirmary, and the next he was gone. Three weeks later, he witnesses the boy miraculously reappear and slay the Dark Lord. Now he's sitting in Albus Dumbledore's office listening to the boy claim that he's from the future and the Master of Death while Voldemort's corpse hovers beside them. Potter has changed and Severus finds himself landed with a boy who isn't the same irritating brat that he once knew.
This was originally titled The Potion Master's Apprentice, written by Athy and abandoned, up for adoption. She has kindly allowed me to take her beautiful idea into my own hands to do with it as I will. It is still here on AO3 and you should go read it. I've used many of her words, her original concept, and then put my own twist on it. Thank you so much for letting me adopt your story.

Britspeak to Amerispeak by dr_girlfriend
Fandoms: Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Teen Wolf (TV), James Bond - All Media Types, Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
14 Feb 2016

Summary
Writing a Teen Wolf fic where Derek takes this bloke Stiles to see a film in the cinema before taking him back to his flat to meet his mum? Writing a Sherlock fic where Sherlock meets John at college while studying for a big test so they both get good grades?
If so, you need this Britspeak to Amerispeak directory. I hope to keep adding to it, so feel free to put any instances in the comments that I'm missing so far. This is meant to be GENERAL advice, obviously there will be exceptions, but if you're a Brit writing American characters or an American writing British characters, take a cruise through and see if there are any word usage or spelling errors you might have made! I tagged the fandoms I'm in, but of course it could be helpful to any American or British fandom.
Note: I am American, born and raised, and have lived in almost every part of this country. Feel free to add your comments and suggestions, but if you start it with "Actually, Americans would never..." just know that I am laughing at you right now.

Under the Auspices of Generals by SwissCheesePlant
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
09 May 2021
Tags
Summary
A prophecy foretells the end of Voldemort but not fast enough.
Within the Order of the Phoenix, there are whispers of spies. But when the leaders of this war can read minds, spies only exist if they allow it.
---
A canon-compliant look at the first war, from 1979-1981, with flashbacks to the Marauders’ Hogwarts days.
---
“Where are the Potters?”
It wasn’t a decision, not really. He answered instinctually. Perhaps he was still bewildered by the earlier line of questioning. But once Peter had betrayed his closest friend, the words dispersed like vapour in the air and impossible to recapture, the path forward was simple. Peter had already betrayed James, so what was it to betray the McKinnons, too? Who were the Prewett brothers to Peter?
Obscured by his fear, the cold drop of realisation would settle in Peter’s stomach only afterwards.
Peter answered the question, truthful and quick. Then waited, listening to his own ragged breaths.

Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Three (Harry Potter and the Death Eater Menace) starts on 9/1/16. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

Summary
Time-Turners are dangerous devices, and awful things happen to wizards and witches who meddle with time.
Or do they?
For Hermione Granger, an accident that leads her back in time changes the course of nearly a dozen lives, her own included: love where there was none before, hope where it was lost, trust where it had always been suspect.
A young Gryffindor girl that hadn’t existed before.
For Aurora Snape, starting school when the threat against Muggle-borns and the Chamber of Secrets makes it more difficult to be the Potions master’s daughter. Or making Draco see that his perception of Muggle-borns is wrong. And it certainly doesn’t help when one of the few Gryffindors who is nice to her is the one person who really shouldn’t know her too well: her mother.- Language:

Summary
Four-year-old Luna has been able to see lights her whole life- and when both of her parents die in an explosive magical accident, she decides to grab on to one of the lights and follow it.
Meanwhile, Regulus Black has never really thought of himself as the parental sort- he's hardly interacted with a child in his life, much less raised one. But when two magically inexplicable orphans show up and somehow resurrect him- well, what else was he supposed to do? Not immediately adopt them? Yeah, right.
(Features little Luna and Harry adopting each other as siblings and Regulus being in way, way over his head)
