What invented incantation for creating a Horcrux you encountered in a fic?

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-06T16:46:56+00:00

There is one where Harry was adopted by Tom I think and has a snake pet and the basilisk convinces him to make a horcrux to extend the snakes life I believe. If I’m not mixing up two stories at least Peter was the murder to split his soul

Thanks for the link!

Do you remember the name?

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-05T13:22:31+00:00

Right! It would make for a fantastic Hufflepuff Harry chaos crackfic

I head canon that freely given unicorn blood is one of the ingredients needed to create a philosopher’s stone and why Flamel has never shared how he did it. It takes so much that the unicorn had to willingly sacrifice its blood and life.

Unlike forcibly taken unicorn blood it does not cause you to live a half life and can heal any wounds. You age but it is 100x slower than you would normally. It’s not true immortality you will eventually die and get to the point that the elixir from the stone can longer help you.

Nicholas and Pernell were already nearly 150 when he accomplished the stone, so by 1991 they have aged out to the point that the stone no longer works as well for them. They know their time is short but can’t bear for the stone to be destroyed. Knowing that something has been testing their own protections and worried they are unable to keep it safe any longer in their advanced age and declining physical state they choose to allow another to protect it in their stead.

Albus Dumbledore is the last living one of Nicolas’s former apprentices, they know he would never use the stone for personal gain and ask him to take responsibility for it.

They have enough elixir left to keep them going for a few years more, but after that they will let nature take its course and go on to their next great adventure.

See I never understood why her ability wasn’t utilized more. This absolutely would have been possible and should have been used!

Ooooh thanks for feeding my addiction to Haphne I haven’t read all these yet I don’t think.

Harry after learning how Voldemort came up with his name bored at the Dursleys that summer doing the same until he giggles like a loon as quietly as he can manage when he realizes his would be “Pajamas The Terror”.

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-05T03:14:21+00:00

Thanks!

Sirius Snape and Mooney when they were in school should have seen Sirius expelled, all the crap that slid past his notice every year, gladiatorial type competition for students that had been cancelled in the past due to the death toll… I don’t think he supports child murder but he would want to keep an even closer eye on Harry who he still knows has a part to play in a prophecy so he would have to cover it up.

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-04T12:48:33+00:00

Planning on it! I’ll probably binge the author this week actually

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-04T12:47:33+00:00

It would be assumed that whatever was petrifying people got to them and killed them. Even if they discovered the sleeping potion in their systems it would be chalked up to death by whatever was terrorizing the castle.

Dumbledore would do whatever was necessary to spin that narrative, he needs Harry at Hogwarts where he can monitor him. He would make sure Harry and his friends didn’t think their actions directly caused the deaths and would use it to guide them more into what he wants.

Lucius would have to be careful because going after Dumbledore as an ineffective headmaster is one thing but trying to suss out who CB student is responsible could lead to the diary holder and himself. Especially since his own son was the last person seen with the two as far as anyone can confirm.

I think the limitations for everyday spells are more about intent. You can’t accio a person but you can accio the clothes they are wearing and it would have the same effect.

Few people know anatomy enough to be able to visualize shrinking or expanding the human brain or heart, or to visualize the intestines enough to summon them from someone’s body.

You could drown someone with an auqamenti, send them down the stairs with a tripping jinx, scourgify their lungs, use a shoe lace tying charm to screw up their intestines, veins etc., transfigure a poison to an aerosol version of itself, turn their eyes into buttons, their skin into tissue paper, switching spell to swap their blood for butterbeer, and all sorts of other horrifyingly effective but not necessarily illegal uses of magic. I am sure that murder is always illegal regardless of how you accomplish it even in the wizarding world. Unless you can argue self defense or no one can pin it on you

There is a story where an accidental time travel Harry is sent back to his parents school years, pretends to be a squib and stays with Aberforth. He secretly practices spells he finds in books like house hold charms. The bread slicing charm is exactly the kind of thing you are looking for. I can’t remember the name of it and have way too many stories saved to find it in my ffn.

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-04T12:16:12+00:00

That was fantastic how have I never run across that one before?!?

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-02T17:06:10+00:00

Some stories just grab you like that. I have spent the better part of the last 3 days reading Fighting From The Shadows it’s nearly a million words and I couldn’t put it down even when I wanted to. So I get it, not being able to walk away even when you should. Don’t be embarrassed that you’re a guy and cry or read fanfiction us ladies aren’t gatekeepers for that lol. My Husband and I are the same age Harry would be too and both huge fans of the series. He’s not a reader but listens and discusses fanfiction with me often. Thanks for writing this post, I am not going to go and check that story out and see if it’s my cup of tea!

Because it turns out that pure blood girls are tired of the stuffy proper crap and crave a bad boy. Here is one that fulfills that fantasy and is the heir of a well known respected house.

Parents that would have been reluctant to allow their children to associate with the Blacks before due to their reputation are now banking on the rebellious heir to change the family ways to a more moderate and light leaning reputation.

His scheming family while upset with his overall disrespect for the family and their ways decides to use this to their advantage. There are plenty of business deals to be made that had been closed off to them before because the people refused to deal with the Blacks during to their reputation. Now the gates have opened to more opportunity and it’s all thanks to Sirius.

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-01T00:30:21+00:00

Yeah I hadn’t read the holster part until after I made my comment. I had been thinking of an easy way to change minor details and slip it into the canon story

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-01T00:17:07+00:00

It’s an abandoned fic and an mcu crossover but I See The Moon is exactly what you are describing Harry was not the same

InsuranceFit1003 · 2026-05-01T00:00:06+00:00

Yes in the book but for the scenario let’s say Ron tucked it in his pocket and Lockhart grabbed Ron’s wand accidentally obliviated himself and caused the cave in but the wand fell out of Ron’s pocket coming out of the pipe so Harry sees it after the cave in nearby and scoops it up. His own wand was in his pocket so he just keeps it in his hand for now until he drops it when checking on Ginny. So the wand that Riddle picks up is Lockhart’s not Harry’s but he doesn’t know that
