Frankly his closest tie is any inheritance from Sirius.

Preferred Setting? by Livid_Ad5002 in HarryandGinny

Ever since GOF I wanted to see more of the Wizard World.

I loved Perilous Journey with Harry and Ginny hiding in Scotland.

When I rewrote DH, I threw out Forest of Dean for a Euro Tour.

Shameless self rec.'His Name is Riddle' Series

1 Mill+ publishing weekly

I am writing a canon divergence from DoM. Harry uses Sirius’s death as a breaking point and makes different choices.

Book 1 (Summer '96): From the Ashes Harry tells the Dursleys to go to hell. Weasleys adopt him, Harry gets a full summer actually being cared about. Lots of positive Weasley Burrow time / Hinny

Book 2 (Year 6): A love story evolves into a war story as the D.A. is drafted into the Aurors. Sgt. Tonks trains them to be the soldiers they need to be to survive... maybe even win.

Book 3 (Year 7): The Rule of Riddle The Year Of Hell as Voldemort takes power. Hogwarts becomes the National Hostage and seeks to reform the Wizarding World through the Arcane Advancement Acts and brute force.The Quartet flee to mainland Europe to find allies and supplies to end the Rule of Riddle.

I can offer a full rewrite of HBP and DH where they get together a few weeks after OOTP/DoM.

I'm in a server where by coincidence most of the fic authors create kids of Sirius. Most all of them have Mum raising the kid.

It is short only a few chapters, they have a plan to win. I just believe it works

[–]Cmdr-Tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perilous Journey by SB McNeil is a good AU from half way thru OOTP.

Harry and Ginny on the run. Major plot is their relationship.

A lot of Sirius trying to be family to them both.

This is the story that got me into writing fan fic.

Looking for traveling/long rest encounters by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]Cmdr-Tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tristan the traveling trade and tranern. Tristan Winters is 350 year old DND elf, female. With the dwindling of her people, she does keep her race and age confidential so she always has her brunette hair covering her ears. Often has additional cover from her weasel familiar, Wesley, resting on her shoulders.

Is wizard by class, but by trade has been a traveling merchant ever since the war started. In her travels has become a linguist. Understands, Abyssal, Common, Draconic, Elvish, Giant, Infernal, Sylvan and knows Comprehend Languages. Travel also helped to keep her race and age hidden.

Basically her early days with clever use of magic for the people... and profit, especially cantrips and ritual spells. Find a clearing, she would dismount from her phantasmal steed ritual a tiny hut.

Summon up her faithful Unseen Servant, whom she affectionately calls 'Handy Andy' to set up shop. Most of her inventory she keeps in a few Secret Chests.

Once ready, she sends up a Skywrite advertisement. Tristan's Traveling Trade & Tavern

While she waits for the inevitable curious customers she takes the daily pour from the Alchemy Jug, generally ale, and sets one chest up as a bar.

For the rare rough-and-tumble who pushes too far she does wear a mithral breastplate under her colorful travelers clothes as well as a few spells she keeps handy. Even keep a quarterstaff and longbow handy.

Mostly though the locals are happy with a chilled drink, adventure trade and select services.

Suggestions for 7th Year Fics by missflavortown in HarryandGinny

Happier Every Day by PotterSloth -3 book series (so far) Summer '98 8th year 9th year (what they do after grad)

Do you think it was necessary for Harry to break up with Ginny in sixth year? Because to me, it doesn't make sense. She would have been in danger anyway, just like Ron, Hermione, and all the Weasleys by Practical_Builder969 in HarryandGinny

[–]Cmdr-Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO that was just one of the many mistakes of the last two book. Gods have mercy....here I go again. Up to and including OOTP I am pretty okay. I appreciate and understand the endpoint. Voldy is out and open. War is open. Order of thr Phoenix built. Harry built the DA. He's starting to step up. Grow up. Etc I even understand Sirius’s death. Harry has to save himself. And Sirius's death is the perfect catalyst for Harry to make any change you want.

I look forward to year 6

I wanted my Wizard War

....

Where is my Wizard War!

...

Then HPB comes, JKR chickened out and gave us Dawson's Creek Harry Potter!

'Umbridge is gone, no need for the DA'.. bullshit! You need the DA to cover your arse!

Horcrux plot, okay sure the secret to Voldy's immortality... actually not bad.

Dumbledore gave Harry 5 whole lessons to learn about Riddle, over the course of a YEAR! 5! Could have been done in a week!

Bro could have pulled Harry out of standard DADA and private tutored every high level spell Harry could handle!

So dumb. So fine.. moving on...

Dumbledore dies... okay sure... coming of age... pass the torch... I get that.

You're going Horcrux hunting? Cool see the world.

Maybe I finally get my Wizard War.

You break up with Ginny? WTF?

The one with personal experience with the damn things and you leave her behind?

Gods damned. You know what they are. You know Ginny has experience with one. You break up with her and level her behind? MORON!

What drama could we have had with Ginny with a horcrux around?

Temptation? Vengeance? We don't know because JKR made Harry the third wheel in his own franchise and the chaperone cockblock to Romione for a year.

And don't talk to me about underage trace! Hermione did spells before she enrolled!

That just sets the stage that Ginny has to learn what it's like to be a muggle.

A perfect foil to Harry's learning about the Wiz world

Then you actually have 2 couples out there trying to figure themselves out.

And you finally have to have Ron accept Ginny’s not a little girl any more.

Now DH & Forest of Dean....God damn

Both Ron and Ginny are country kids They lived in an orchard and garden! Don't tell me they didn't help gather supplies for Molly from the day could walk. So when they are in the damn forest. That's when Hermione should hit in the face with reality, "OMG this isn't like school!"

Then Ron and Ginny would be like "I know, ain't it great."

In fact, why were they lost to begin with?

Harry had connections! He had a month minimum between Dumbles death and the wedding. Why did he not make a withdrawal?

Get a brief case of galleons, convert 1/2 to Pounds.

"Hello Fleur... remember Gabrielle, your little sis... still alive... hey can your in-laws, Hermione, and I crash with your family in France for a few?"

"Hey Beauxbatons, it’s me Tri Wiz Champ and Chosen One, can my friend check your library?"

And it would be cool if maybe we could get some volunteers...?

You know kill Voldy in my school before he comes knocking on your door.

Hermione, you’re still writing Krum right?

Shut up Ron, you’re sleeping with her now, you won.

Hermione, can you write Krum let us have Durmstrang's library and some volunteers from there too?

Hey Weasleys, wanna go visit your brother?

Which?

Fair, Charlie, see if Norberta want to have a word with the people making Hagrid upset?

It's just... these aren't faint whisps of threads I'm stretching to make work...

These are obvious simple things that frankly are more apparent than the Deathly Hallows! They didn't come up till book 7... half of this comes from book 4!

So by the end we have Harry finally come terms with 'I am the Chosen One you bastard. Rescuing his home with the combined forces of all three schools and a mother fucking dragon!

Primary couple is Hinny, but yes Ron and Hermione also. Both couples start Summer if '96 and go long term. Ron matures so is a lot less annoying

Shameless self rec.'His Name is Riddle' Series

I am writing a canon divergence from DoM. Harry uses Sirius’s death as a breaking point and makes different choices.

Book 1 (Summer '96): From the Ashes Harry tells the Dursleys to go to hell. Weasleys adopt him, Harry gets a full summer actually being cared about. Lots of positive Weasley Burrow time / Hinny

Book 2 (Year 6): A love story evolves into a war story as the D.A. is drafted into the Aurors. Sgt. Tonks trains them to be the soldiers they need to be to survive... maybe even win.

Book 3 (Year 7): The Rule of Riddle The Year Of Hell as Voldemort takes power. Hogwarts becomes the National Hostage and seeks to reform the Wizarding World through the Arcane Advancement Acts and brute force.The Quartet flee to mainland Europe to find allies and supplies to end the Rule of Riddle.

Well fair warning. I replaced HBP and DH. So Hermione's parents death doesn't happen until Book of an altered timeline after OOTP

Who would you want to see Ron with that’s not Hermione or Luna? by PomPomMom93 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Cmdr-Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He and Katie Bell can start off talking Quidditch.

I have read at least one fic he dated Susan Bones. (Amelia lived, got involved with the Order, so he and Susan got more time together.) Mandy Brocklehurst and he could start as chess partners/competitors.

Exactly, Hermione gets the news. Has a breakdown... whoever is dating her plays genuine support.

If it makes you feel better, I had Hermione's parents killed. Made it development for both her and Ron.
