A Promise Kept (Harry goes to Ilvermorny, Rated M)

Sirius arrives in Godric's Hollow to find the Potter home in ruins.

Upon crossing the threshold, he finds the body of his best friend, and hurry's upstairs to find Harry alive but sporting the mark of a dark curse, and an unconscious but alive Lily Potter.

As he contemplates his revenge on the man that betrayed them, the woman wakes, and Sirius knows that they are not safe here.

What happened to the Dark Lord, he cannot be sure.

All that remains of the man is his discared wand and torn robes upon the floor.

Despite his lack of understanding of what has occurred, he knows he needs to get Harry and Lily to safety, and as Hagrid arrives, there is only one place that comes to mind...

• Voldemort keeps his promise to Snape not to kill Lily

• LIly survives and believes that Britain is not safe for her and her son.

• Sirius helps her flee to America where they live in hiding whilst raising Harry, who attends Ilvermorny, but of course, he cannot escape his Fate.

• I do not want to give too much away here, but there will be romance, and Harry will return to Britain when it fits with the story.

• There will be a slew of new characters to explore, and a whole new magical culture, different magics, and maybe even companions...

• Sirius and Lily will NOT be romantically involved.

The Boy Who Laughed

Tormented by the murder of his parents and raised in a household that only fed the darkness he harboured, one with such an already tainted soul could only be salvaged so far, if at all.

If only the new world he found himself in could be so kind, perhaps the boy would not wish such suffering on those whom he considered his enemies.

This is not a meek Harry Potter looking for acceptance, but a boy shaped and jaded by his experience seeking only an opportunity for vengeance.

He remembered his mother’s pleading and would never forget that he was left to suffer a life of misery.

Those responsible would reap what they had sown.

Tom Riddle may have struck fear into the heart of wizarding Britain, but Harry Potter would devour it if necessary to bathe in the blood of those who had wronged him.

Important notes about this story.

- It will be a Dark Harry who is willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goals.

- It will follow canon events until it no longer does.

- Both Voldemort and Dumbledore will be antagonists.

- Pairing is undecided, but there will be romantic aspects throughout.

- The Horcrux will influence Harry, but it won’t be Voldemort as such, more so that it amplifies certain qualities about him.

- It is loosely based on ‘The Batman Who Laughs’. For those of you unfamiliar, a quick Youtube shorts will explain all you need to know, particularly how the Horcrux will affect Harry.

- The Horcruxes will be a key part of the story and Harry’s character progression. (No, he will not be absorbing them).

- This is something of a prequel to my planned Multi-verse story with several already-established iterations of Harry I have already written.

Dead Memories

“If we die, James, what will happen to Harry?”

“He will be raised by Sirius. He is his Godfather.”

“And what if the worst happens to him?”

James said nothing for several moments as a frown creased his brow.

“I don’t know,” he murmured worriedly. “What then?”

Lily did not know either, but it was a thought that continued to plague her.

Voldemort would inevitably come for her son, and would do so until he killed Harry, or somehow, Harry vanquished him.

The prophecy had been clear on that.

For months now, they had lived in isolation, and all she could ponder was the very worst coming to pass.

Voldemort seemed to always find a way to be rid of those that provoked his ire, and with Harry being such an apparent threat, he would do everything in his power to kill their son.

Lily swallowed deeply.

She had spent month after month contemplating what to do, and though she hoped beyond hope they could keep harry safe, she was not foolish enough to underestimate the Dark Lord.

She had fought against the man, had seen what he was capable of, and if there was indeed a way for him to find them, the man would do so.

“I don’t know,” Lily choked.

James wrapped an arm around her shoulder and held her tightly to him.

“We have to do something, James. If we cannot be there for him as we should be…”

She broke off and her husband frowned once more.

“I have an idea,” he said thoughtfully. “Perhaps it is something we should’ve been doing since we came here.”

“What is it?” Lily asked curiously.

James said nothing but went upstairs.

When he returned several moments later, he was holding a pensive with dozens of empty phials.

“If the worst comes to the worst and we are not here for him as we wish to be, we can still be there for him in memory.”

Lily’s eyes widened in realisation and she nodded her agreement before deflating.

“It won’t be the same, James.”

“No, but it will be something,” her husband said passionately. “It won’t be the same, but we can still be here for him. Besides, if all goes to plan, this will all be for nothing and it won’t matter. Think of it as a plan D.”

Lily eyed the pensive for a moment before nodding once more.

“Where do we even begin?” she asked.

-             Things will be different for Harry upon entering Gringotts, and the story will move away from canon over time.

-             Harry will be influenced by the presence of both James and Lily Potter in their own ways, but he will become his own person, shaped by his experiences.

-             The Pairing for this story will be an eventual Harry/Katie Bell (No, I will not kill her this time)

Godfather (Rated M)

Having blown up his Aunt Marge, Harry flees Privet Drive.

Believing himself to now be a fugitive, he does not know what he will do, until he runs into a large, shaggy, who is much more than he seems…

-             Instead of going to The Leaky Cauldron, Harry heads to Grimmauld Place with Sirius, who is bent on revenge, but realises that Harry needs him more than he could’ve imagined.

-             This will develop into quite an epic story which will see Harry learn valuable lessons from his Godfather, whom he chooses to stay with instead of returning to Hogwarts… for the beginning portion of the story.

-             Harry will be heavily influenced by Sirius in many ways, but his time in Grimmauld Place will see him learn much that he would never be given the opportunity to at Hogwarts, changing him in many ways.

-             The pairing for this will be an eventual Harry/Hannah Abbot, something we do not see often in Fanfiction.

-             Her character will be explored in depth, and she will have her own journey throughout.

-             Will fit canon events where required but will inevitably deviate away from it.
