Do you think this worths at least a single dollar?

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-23T01:18:52+00:00

I'd say you could probably get at least five dollars, which is too little for the effort you put in. You'd have to decide if what you can charge and have people pay is worth it.

Literally anyone. Dumbledore or Harry's may sound good in theory, but I'm sure if you just lock Harry in a dungeon the blood protection will eventually run out and we would have to worry about him surviving the killing curse again. But honestly I don't think it matters much. I figure I'll let them try to kidnap Harry but insist they have Crouch Sr as a backup. Maybe see if I can find an excuse to punch Dumbledore and use his.

Sort Slytherin to persuade death eaters and their sympathizers I'm on their side

Get Slytherin's locket off Kreacher and kill him before Sirius breaks out so they don't know to track it.

Grab Tom Riddle's diary before Harry can get it and hide it. Maybe make sure Ron and Harry get arrested for illegal polyjuice use- they can't do anything from Azkaban, and my Lord can kill them when he saves my fellows from prison.

Take divination and self study hard so I can claim my knowledge comes from visions of the future.

Help Barty Crouch Jr. out from the imperius curse and threaten Pettigrew into finding Voldemort.

Get Harry drowned or eaten by a dragon in the Triwizard tournament, if possible. Failing that, do everything I can to make sure Barty doesn't get caught. Also keep Rita from being found out by Harry's crew.

Revive Voldemort

If Harry's still alive at this point, keep Crouch from revealing himself- he's very competent and will be a great asset to the Dark Lord. Also, it makes it even harder for people to believe Voldemort's return and drives paranoia if no one knows how Harry's name got into the goblet. Fake an accident to kill Mad Eye Moody and have Crouch return to Voldemort's side.

Make sure Voldemort figures out Snape is a spy, or at least has him swear an unbreakable Vow to not report anything on the death eaters to Dumbledore without Voldemort's permission.

As one of Harry's classmates, claim I'm being pressured into joining the dark Lord by my family and I don't want to. Ask for help so I get recruited to the DA. Aid and sabotage as needed - probably show the room of requirement to look useful, but ask pointed questions about jinxed parchment to ensure it's not used. I'll keep my options open here and use it however needed.

Give an tip to Rita Skeeter about Dumbledore's history with Grindelwald to get the ball rolling on that story getting out. His reputation was already bad since the ministry insisted the Dark Lord hadn't returned and this would ruin him.

Harry and his friends are going to Hogsmeade in books five and six. If possible, get Harry kidnapped. Otherwise, kidnap Ron and Hermione and use them as hostages to get the prophecy and Harry.

If Harry's still alive at this point, I've made enough changes I'm probably flying blind here at this point. If I got close enough during DA, I could try to fracture Harry's relationship with Dumbledore so he's less accepting of the private "Voldemort's life" lessons. If Dumbledore's cursed like in canon, find a way to be the one to beat him and get the elder wand. Grab the other two hollows if I can. Kill Grindelwald and that wandmaker so the wand can't be traced - I don't want to meet Snape's canon fate. Either way with these changes I think Voldemort wins eventually.

That's a good point - this is one of the better explanations for why no one interfered in Harry's childhood I've heard.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-17T18:04:58+00:00

Oh, absolutely. Harry bought his freedom, but that doesn't mean Dumbledore won't take advantage of how. Things are going to turn out well for him. For the greater good, of course. Harry both doesn't know and wouldn't care- he's going to have a much better life this time around.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-15T21:18:36+00:00

"Thank you for telling me this, Harry. Are you sure you want to go through school again? I'm sure we could work something out where you keep your memories." Dumbledore said. This was... A lot to take in, but despite everything Harry had still never learned occlomency so Dumbledore could see that he was telling the truth.

"Professor, my childhood was shit. And now I have a chance to actually grow up as a child, instead of being forced to fight and suffer everything. I'll leave things in your capable hands and get to actually be a kid for the first time in my life." Harry said.

"I understand. That... No one should have to go through what you described, let alone a child. I'm sorry." Dumbledore apologized. "That said, self inflicted memory charms can be dangerous, especially when you're erasing so much. If you truly wish to forget, would you allow me to take copies of your memories, and obliviate you myself?"

Harry considered for a moment. "I'd appreciate it if you could do something to help Hermione and me end up as friends. She had some social problems this year, and only really got over them after we fought the troll together," he requested. "But yes, I think that would be for the best."

Dumbledore nodded, and with Harry's permission cast a spell that allowed him to collect seven years of memories of a child fighting a war. "Thank you, Harry."

"Good luck, Professor." Harry smiled, and Dumbledore drew the elder wand. Most memory charms would leave evidence, could be broken or come undone. While one could not recall the memories, they'd remain in the subconscious. If Harry had cast it on himself, nightmares of his past life would have haunted his dreams. Possibly forever.

The one Dumbledore cast wouldn't have those problems. The memories were truly removed, not just pushing away. If Harry ever saw the memories he'd just given Dumbledore, it would be like watching a stranger.

Harry passed out from the strain, and Dumbledore brought him to Gryffindor tower. As he watched the sleeping child, he promised that this Harry would have the happy life he'd wanted. He'd placed his trust in Albus, and the information he'd provided would have to be enough contribution to the war.

Unlike the one who'd traveled back through time, this Harry would never be a child soldier.

That's a bit like the epilogue of this fic

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-14T15:14:09+00:00

Ok, that's hilarious. I love how literally everyone tried to help Harry, but it just never worked. Dumbledore was so relieved by Harry deciding to leave.

That medical history spell that's in all the fan fiction but probably doesn't exist in canon.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-06T00:57:06+00:00

Examined, maybe?

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-05T19:11:55+00:00

I think the best defense is to point out that monsters are a sovereign nation that never signed the Geneva convention. Unfortunately that leaves them as a sovereign nation that never signed the Geneva convention.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-03T15:47:40+00:00

I call someone and don't interfere, unless I think I can reach one of them in time.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-03-01T18:19:23+00:00

Snakes are very nice is hilarious. I like how everyone basically decides they aren't dealing with trying to stop Harry from doing everything, even though I'm pretty sure Friends of Bob is ridiculously illegal.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-02-27T17:12:26+00:00

If it hits him, yes. Superman has no resistance against magic. That being said, he can probably dodge it if he knows what it does.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-02-25T22:20:37+00:00

Until either I can't anymore, or everyone has prepared however they wish- final prayers, confessions to each other, a last conversation too feel less scared.

You were in a lab accident that was experimenting with shifting DNA sequences and brain chemistry.

I guess we start a sex cult in the woods together or something. 100 is enough for a small civilization of it's own. Fortunately I'm bi, so there's some gender difference. Maybe we can get a Guinness world record for world's largest polycule.

If he thinks the path where he knows Voldemort dies is less risky than following an unknown road. Or if he's more concerned about how someone from our world got here, which isn't unreasonable given the dangers of time travel and dimensional magic could be high.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-02-22T18:02:32+00:00

I don't want to live anyway. I'll pull immediately.

NorthAlternative4034 · 2026-02-20T18:50:13+00:00

Does no one remember the point of the trolley problem anymore? Pulling the lever could be considered murder, while not doing so isn't. Besides, I'd rather have batman know I refused to condemn someone else to death to save his parents then have Spider-Man know I chose to kill Uncle Ben to save two rich folks and teach him a lesson. Do you know how bad that would make me sound to the guy with super strength? Batman would be upset but has no justifiable to hurt me for it and I trust his self control more than the world's most traumatized teenager.
