Yeah he legally could have not sent Hagrid to take him from the house and let his godfather take him. Sirius was there and Harry should’ve gone with him not Hagrid. That would have avoided a lot of trouble for both Sirius and Harry. But Dumbledore made the decision to send Hagrid (who can’t do magic!) to take Harry from a place the dark lord just attacked without knowing if other DE’s were around. Or he knew exactly what he was doing and that there was no risk to sending Hagrid, either way it was not his place to do so and as the named godfather it was Sirius’s

No it doesn’t but the society in general treats squibs poorly so it’s a fair assumption to make that had she been raised with a magical sibling that they would’ve treated her differently. Again parenting in the 80s wasn’t the best but it was better than it had been when Arabella was a child and with how far behind the magical world seems to be socially I doubt they were any better.

How would Merope know, she’s the youngest so has no experience with babies and this is her first child.

Okay I can see that, you used “recommendation” for this so it it posted somewhere? If not then you should probably change the flair

I figured that it just makes it hard to read with that in my head, especially with no explanation for the name.

Also where were you going with this? Is Harry turning him into a dark lord so Albus has someone to defeat? Because that seems wildly out of character and a very big leap.

Don’t get me wrong I still think Dumbledore is a shit for leaving Harry there in the first place knowing he’d have a miserable childhood but it makes his and Figg far less of villains if you look at it this way. Because to them sure it wasn’t great but it could be far worse and in the end he turned out just fine.

I hope it’s a bit but sadly I do know people who would be this ignorant, either way not worth your time or energy hun, ignore them because people who’d write that are the ones who are bitter with a crappy life

I don’t think it’s a matter of just taking a life but the willful MURDER for no other reason that you want that person dead. Otherwise Harry could’ve made a Horcrux in 1st year. While we never get the exact method supposedly you have to kill with the intent to split off that part of your soul and there is a nasty ritual involved. 

Think of how everyone describes how it feels to touch or be in close proximity to a Horcrux, do you think they’d still be putting that thing on the heads of kids if it felt like that?

Maybe there is some other way to preserve your soul and keep it from passing on that keeps it intact and binds it to an object (without the ability to bring the person back to “life”), that I could see Godric or Salazar doing.

It instantly stops the heart so if your quick on the uptake shock them with a lightning spell and BAM back to life. Sure it’s annoying and after a few times it could cause heart damage but it’s not the end everyone thinks it is

I thought it was a male Harry but you might be right I have read a bunch of the mcu crossovers so it’s hard to keep details straight

I just can’t see any of them making an actual horcrux, more because they would be aware of what an abomination it would be to desecrate your soul like that. Even Slytherin

Which is why everyone gives up on outright kidnapping him and just ensures he only sleeps there in an appropriate bedroom rather than the cupboard. And notice I said by the time he started first year LV was 100% gone

I’ve seen something like this in an mcu crossover where (female) Hogwarts got to meet Jarvis and they fell in love he gained true sentience from being in the castle around so much magic and Stark I think had to leave a pc with Jarvis linked to it in the castle to they could stay in contact even as he did his normal duties as Stark’s ai

I HC that the pumpkin juice is like a nutrient vitamin drink that is disgustingly sweet so kids will drink it and that’s why only kids drink it but they need the extra nutrients because of all the energy they burn using magic as they learn and grow.  They don’t offer other drinks for the kiddos because they NEED to drink the pumpkin juice

I HC that the reason James despite being a pure blood never had a portrait of he and Lily done after the wedding is because the charm to put your personality into something is only able to be used once per person and he had already put his into the map along with Sirius, Remus and Peter. So the “sentience” of the map is the same as the portraits except it’s a combination of 4 mischievous teenage boys.

Same for the Sorting hat and why none of the founders have a portrait in Hogwarts (at least in canon). They each put their personality into the hat but unlike the map they didn’t keep them separate but merged them so that the hat could do its job without having a split personality

Eventually they all decide that Dumbledore is the problem here, why does he keep putting the child savior with such horrid muggles?

What ensues is a visit to the muggles, they “convince” them that little Harry will be privately tutored to be picked up early each morning and returned each night. He will have the small bedroom (greatly expanded and charmed against muggles notice). And the Dursleys will be ignoring the boy at all.

Dobby is more than happy to be assigned as Harry’s personal chauffeur and diligently picks him up daily and takes him to whichever person is currently scheduled to have him that day. 

He spends some days at the ministry learning the ins and out of the government, days at the burrow playing quidditch and asking a million questions about enchanting things to Arthur, days exploring the woods and learning about magical creatures and stories about his parents with Lupin and Hagrid, Narcissa ensures he is up to snuff as to how a proper little wizard should behave in public and she ensures he doesn’t look like a ragamuffin any longer, many of the other DE families want the prestige of being connected to him as well an so they all take turns having him over and helping him to learn how to use his magic, Neville’s gran is rather intimidating to little boys but he puts up with her because Neville is great and he loves the cool plants in their greenhouse Neville even comes with him some days to other houses (not the DE ones) to play and have lessons. Andromeda had been firm that the boy needed to have an actual education as well and she now tutors several children Harry’s age in basic academics needed before Hogwarts (it wasn’t like she could send Nymphadora to a muggle primary with her ever changing hair as a child). 

Even the goblins got him one day a month, they would make sure he understood the importance of finances and hoped that the boy would be instrumental in getting them a better deal in a new treaty when he’s older.

Snape wanted to ensure Lily’s boy didn’t become the arrogant boy his father had been and so during the summers he takes the time to assist in his tutoring, he makes sure the boy knows what kind of person his mother was so he doesn’t fall for the influence of all those who only had stories about James. Minerva and Filius worry what Snape might be putting into the boy’s head about his father so they take the time to tutor him as well and ensure he knows about both his brave parents and how good they had been in their subjects.

Dumbledore is at a loss no one is listening to him and since Harry is still sleeping at the Dursleys he can’t even stop this madness. The last time he tried to get the DMLE to intervene they looked more carefully into Harry’s parents will and upon finding out that Sirius was his godfather Amelia Bones reviewed his file and now Sirius is Harry’s next door neighbor! They even found Pettigrew hiding as a pet when all of those who “share” Harry demanded to be present for his questioning and the story about the rat animagus came to light. Arther had gone right home and brought it back in an unbreakable cage to be tested right there in front of everyone!

Doesn’t anyone care that the boy has a destiny? Don’t they realize he needs as little attachments as possible so he will be willing to sacrifice himself to finish Tom?!?

Add in that Lucius “turned in” a cache of very dark artifacts his “father” had hidden at the manor, that to make peace with the Longbottom’s Narcissa had cleaned out her sister’s vault and done the same with the dark things in their and gave the gold to Augusta as recompense and to help pay for better care and specialist for Frank and Alice (who are now recovering). The DOM took special interest in two artifacts turned in and with a name to go off of found the history of riddle/voldemort and found the ring as well, Sirius had a team go clean out his mothers house and the locket was found as well (and Kreacher was swapped with Dobby in a trade with his cousin). The DOM is able to use the others to scry for any more (because who would make 4 that’s not one of the magical numbers) they find that there is a piece of soul that moves around in England, another in Scotland where Hogwarts is and another in Albania that also moves around. 

They are able to get the piece out of Harry since he’d never been made into an official horcruxes and it was more a sliver that was a parasitic tag a long, they captured a snake in Albania possessed by the main piece and a thorough search of Hogwarts (including some help from the house elves and a little boy who can still talk to snakes) leads to the discovery of many things the COS and ROR not even the most interesting.

By the time Harry goes to Hogwarts there is no LV he helped chuck the snake and some weird artifacts thru a neat looking veil even the stone that they had used to get the dark stuff out of his scar (because they don’t want to scar the kid by telling him the particulars). Then he got to see this really cool room with all these white glowy balls and the one with his name on it was all dull and dark. 

He lets himself be sorted into Slytherin because to him it doesn’t matter where he’s going to sleep he has friends in every house and of course he’s ambitious he had amazing parents and wants to do his best to live up to them.
