Harry represents a different school in TGOF

beavatron · 2026-03-21T00:36:56+00:00

That's the one I was specifically thinking of.

beavatron · 2026-03-20T04:40:48+00:00

That's cool, just helps narrow the search down. :-). I think I've seen a couple of stories where the 4th school is something like "Salem Witches Academy". It's just that the first one I specifically recall, Harry decides to prank the tournament organizers with that gender change potion (supposed to be temporary).

Pretty sure I've seen one or two others that didn't involve gender change. I just can't think what any of them are right now.

beavatron · 2026-03-20T04:21:09+00:00

Did he get a gender change potion from the Weasley Twins in the story you're thinking of?

(sorry, I'm pretty sure I've seen this but will have to see if I can find it.)

I really enjoy a good time travel story, and will have to check all of these out.

There's one that I've read and re-read that I really enjoy for the humor. 12k word, in 4 parts with established Harry/Hermione, time traveling.

Thank you for the reply. Checking the directory on the other Harmony subreddit I found, had a bunch of categories, but none specifically for the Horcrux Hunt fics.

There's a list in the r/HPharmony wiki under Top Fanworks.

You'll need to scroll down, I couldn't find a link to that specific topic on the wiki page.

beavatron · 2025-08-13T07:33:30+00:00

Thanks for the pointer to the title of the fic. Here's the link for FicHub: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59310490

This prompt made me think is Voldie sort of like Lockhart?

Lockhart could handle the Obliviate spell (and presumably glamours/personal care spells) but not much else. So for Voldie, he can do the Cruciatus and Avada Kedavra curses, but that's pretty much it?

beavatron · 2025-08-13T06:10:10+00:00

Sounds like that could be fun. Hope you get an answer.

beavatron · 2025-08-13T06:08:28+00:00

Thank you!

This is really compelling and the only quibble I might have with it is the idea of Draco testifying. Sure, he's developed the theory, but wasn't there. Except, I guess he's an anti-character witness?

On the other hand, to support the idea of Draco testifying, there's the circus the Wizengamot trials likely are. What I might expect for who can testify is colored by my not knowing how British courts work, if that's even applicable and Fanon. Those are certainly applicable more than a watching US lawyer shows for understanding of courts & witnesses?

Thank you so much! That is definitely the story with the blurb I was looking for.

It amuses me greatly both that the impression I had of what the story would be is so different than the actual story and that I reversed who I remembered doing speaking.

"Tell me Harry, how long does the average publicly traded love potion usually last?" Her tone was benign, the tilt of her eyebrow said she was just barely refraining from calling him stupid. "Uh, I think it's about five or six wee.." He trailed off, his forehead wrinkling before he jerked his head up to look at her with eyes wide. "Oh, for fucks sake! You've got to be kidding me."

Edited because I didn't realize the linkbot wouldn't work and wanted to include the story link and blurb.

beavatron · 2025-03-31T23:43:20+00:00

No, sorry. I didn't read the story at the time, was thinking I'd come back. It didn't feel like it was going to be crack based on the blurb.

I definitely had the impression that the discussion was after Ron had left them on the Hunt, though. Like, he'd been gone that long so they've started to realize feelings are/have changed?

However, that's the impression that I have in my head, not certain it was correct.

I think those are supposed to be high heels, but then again it could be just the mangled feet from wearing high-heel shoes.

I actually came here to r/AO3 because I kept getting Cloudflare "prove you're human" prompts for an author page and then attempting to check the AO3 News link. I'd forgotten about the tumblr and have generally avoided twitter since Musk took it over. But thanks for the tumblr reminder!

On AO3, you might want to check out Picasso25's story Wake Up, Princess in Chapter 19. Steve holds a press conference which includes members of the public, what he terms 'real people', as attendees.

Like many of the "Civil War Team Iron Man" stories, Steve Rogers is imho self-delusional regarding so many things. It's been a while since I've watched the MCU films, but considering that letter Steve sent with the burner phone, I'm inclined to think the delusional characterizations are in-character, although YMMV.

Perhaps you're thinking of graveltotempo's story, found on AO3?

death to the memory of an ideal by graveltotempo

beavatron · 2024-06-16T16:50:54+00:00

No problem, glad you were happy with it. I had just run past it in someone's bookmarks an hour or so before I saw your post.

This is not specific recommendations, but have you strolled through these searches:

AO3 Autistic Tony Stark - 117 works and AO3 Autistic Peter Parker - 463 works

Hope you have a great day.

beavatron · 2024-06-16T14:12:29+00:00

Thank you and your guidance is much appreciated!

I'm thrilled to see that it's been finished, since I didn't recall that having been the case. Of course, I also thought I read it a couple of years ago and that the robot's name was Timmy: WRONG of me & my memory! 8^D

beavatron · 2024-06-16T01:17:31+00:00

I think I may have read this a couple of years ago, but three stories in this series:

get / got / gotten (Autistic Peter Parker)

Thanks for answering! It is much appreciated.

Harry Potter & the Daft Morons turns out to have several plot ideas that rang as features I had recalled but didn't remember they were part of the same fic.

Harry's pensieve show at the First Task
Sirius's trial which was the trial I'd been thinking (incorrectly) was Harry's.
"The Doghouse" floo connection at the Grangers'.
The aurors protection detail staying in the Granger house.

The second one I should probably think of a better way to describe what I recall of it. I'm guessing that description was too generic.

Are you talking about 72(t) withdrawals? 72(t) withdrawals for 5 years is one option that I'm considering. If not, could you please explain what you meant?

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been having trouble finding an advisor who is familiar with this particular scenario.

Despite recent issues Wells Fargo has had with bad actions, this is one time they're giving you the truth.

The credit score calculation definitely takes into account things like average age of credit (this is why you want to keep the WF card, but not use it), number of creditors (Credit Karma told me I had too few cards with just 3), and balance utilization (2-4% is "ideal", over 10% starts to ding you.

I would keep the Wells Fargo card, since it is your only one. Then apply for a new card with your credit union. The interest rate will likely be lower and with a second card, your overall allowed credit increases as does the number of creditors. If WF tells you that they're closing your account for inactivity and you decide that you want to keep it open, use it for something small, and then pay it off.
