An important tweet
Hello! I hope you don’t mind me sending a request/idea via ask! :) For your re-write of the main series, I would love to see Sirius, Remus, and Harry get the happiness they deserve. They were done such an injustice in Roach’s series, because they had a lot of potential that was just wasted. I’d love to see Sirius get his name cleared at some point in your re-write series, and then he and Remus able to take custody of Harry. Then they become the mentors and parental figures he always wanted and needed to help him on his journey.
I would never mind anyone leaving asks or making suggestions! If anything, I love them!
Anyway, Remus and Sirius will get a much better ending regardless of whether they become Hari’s guardians or not. Although the story might indeed favor them as parents, since it’s what most of you seem to want.
You can read the first two chapters of the story now if you want, it might take me a minute to get to the third and the rest of the story due to college being a lot more hectic than i’d originally thought it would be. I’m still trying to find a good balance between school, socializing, and writing.
Thank you, Anon, for the wonderful request!
Have you ever considered just writing your own stuff rather than plagiarizing someone else's
I do write my own stuff, I just write fanfic on my spare time (which is a lot, these days). Also, as much as I hate it, credit for the HP series is still going to be given to her so I don’t get sued :)
Harry Potter Rewrite: Help!
I’ve been outlining more or less what I want the final result for my Harry Potter rewrite to look like but I’m stuck on two outcomes of Hari’s childhood:
NOTE: I have a headcanon in which the Potters are Indian, so James names his son Hari. I think I mentioned this before, if I didn’t, feel free to ask about it.
Petunia’s marriage starts falling apart when Lily dies.
Vernon didn’t let her go to her sister’s funeral because he was sure that the place would be crawling with “freaks”. Even if Petunia begged, he would still prevent her from going.
Vernon made nasty comments about Lily and James’ death, saying that they’re two less freaks to worry about.
Eventually Petunia leaves her husband and moves back in with her parents (who are alive in this version).
Petunia decides to go to college, a decision supported by her parents since they promised to help her financially and with the boys.
She studies to become an English teacher.
She loves her job. Also, she might fall in love with the History teacher.
She remarries, and it’s a man who treats her right and is good with the boys.
Both boys are treated equally while with her.
Dudley and Hari get along well. Although whenever Dudley returns from his weekends at his father’s, they fight a lot.
Hari grows up knowing he’s a wizard and knowing (more or less, because Petunia didn’t have all the details) what had happened to his parents.
Many more…
Remus, along with several other people who believed Sirius was innocent, start protesting and putting pressure on the Ministry so that they can give Sirius a proper trial.
Sirius is renamed innocent.
Dumbledore still refuses to hand Hari over to them, even though they were the rightful guardians of the child.
The last straw is when Dumbledore casually corrects them and says that Hari’s name has been changed to Harry.
They whitewashed his name. They were livid.
Remus and Sirius, along with some handpicked friends to help them, manage to kidnap Hari.
They take him to Wales, further away from Remus’ former home. They cast an insane amount of spells to hide themselves from Dumbledore. They were untraceable.
Other than the protections needed, they lived a muggle life.
They have other children (the names I’m still working out), there’s five kids in total.
Two of those children are werewolves, attacked at a young age by another wolf pack that’s not Fenrir Greyback. They—Remus, especially—wanted to bring them comfort when he found out about them.
Hari lives in a loud, chaotic household in the middle of nowhere.
Lyall Lupin eventually moves in with them because Remus worried for his father—the man was old and alone.
And many more…
NOTE: The outcome of the votings will determine the overall plot of Hari’s era. Choose wisely, what do you want to see?
People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.
Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.
Don’t be deaf 😔 there’s tons of sounds 😊 hear them ❤️
Gujarati Anon again!
For Euphemia's lastname perhaps Upadhyay would suit, Thanya Upadhyay has a nice ring to it.
And as a Gujarati I think I'd like to see something with Navratri, and perhaps the Marauders trying Gujarati food. (Also Remus trying Khichdi)
I like Upadhyay, sounds quite nice, actually. I’ll use that for Thanya (Euphemia).
I’ve briefly read about Navratri, and it sounds like so much fun! It was quite shocking to me, I remember, because I’m Latinx and I thought we knew how to party. But you guys really outdo everyone by partying for nine days straight. I’d love to write about how the Marauders & Co will react and what they would do when the Potters invite them to celebrate with them.
Finally, I just googled what Khichdi was and oh my goodness…it looks so good! I want to try it now, let’s see if I can manage to find a place nearby or maybe even try to make it myself (although unlikely considering I’d burn the dorms down).
I love hearing from you as well as any other reader/follower of the story, please send as many as you’d like! Thank you!
Beta-Readers Needed!
Before I publish the first few chapters of my rewrite series, I’m looking for at least five beta readers who’ll check my work for any inconsistencies, typos, and any other errors that might be found.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ If you are interested, you can message me so that I can ask you a couple of questions. If I feel that you may work well with me, I’ll ask for your email.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ If you are not interested, but know someone that might be, then you can either send them this post or tell me about them so that I can ask them myself. I’ll be asking a couple of simple questions and, if I feel we’d work well, then I’ll ask for their emails.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ REMEMBER! This part of the rewrite is centered around the Marauders & Co. (the romance is Wolfstar-focused, although romance isn’t the main theme). There’s going to be a lot of diversity in terms of race, gender, and disabilities. Also, Snape is going to be a complex, humanized character.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ If I can find someone who is Indian, Japanese, French, and/or Welsh to call me out in case I make any mistakes (I’ve been studying these cultures for years whenever I can, but I’m not perfect) that would be amazing.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ Finally, any and all Beta-Readers I end up picking will be credited each chapter I post.
Sirius Black Headcanons.
Sirius Black is half French and half Japanese.
Walburga Black was the one born and raised in Japan. Orion, is the one that’s French.
The Japanese side of the family is suppressed, to be forgotten, as demanded by the Blacks.
Sirius only knows a little bit of Japanese thanks to the family outcast, Uncle Alphard. Regulus also learned, but he knows a little less.
Sirius and Regulus used to be the same reckless, bold child. They were always standing up for each other no matter the consequences. It was them against the world.
Sirius and Regulus were secretly close up until the winter holidays of Sirius’ fifth year. They were supposed to run away together, but Orion had held Regulus back. Sirius thought that his younger brother had simply changed his mind.
During his first year, Sirius refused to be associated with his own House. He didn’t want to further disappoint his parents, not to mention that a part of him believed the Black values.
It wasn’t until his second year that Sirius realized that perhaps his family was wrong.
By third year, slurs were eliminated completely from his mind and vocabulary and he was working hard to fully let go of everything he had grown up in.
Sirius is completely deaf on his left ear. His family was embarrassed to have a son with a disability, so they instilled in his mind that it was something to hide.
During the first few years at Hogwarts, Sirius would exhaust himself while trying to read lips without people noticing.
It was frustrating and humiliating whenever he missed something and he was forced to asked the person to repeat what they’d said.
Even after his friends found out about it, Sirius refused to acknowledge it. He would not be known as a pitiful, disabled kid.
Classes were difficult, especially if the professor had the tendency of walking around the classroom. Sirius would sometimes copy the notes off of James without saying anything.
James always noticed but let him do it.
Later on, a fully deaf kid arrived at Hogwarts and managed to teach Sirius to somewhat embrace his deafness. (Kinda debating whether this should be a part of my fic or not, please let me know what you think).
Sirius also suffered from childhood PTSD, especially after he ran away.
He would wake up in the middle of the night in pure terror, but he didn’t scream because in his mind, he’s still at Grimmauld Place, and they would have his head if he screamed so late at night. He was all trembles and whimpers and sweat and tears.
Each of the Marauders would take turns consoling him.
When Sirius started dating Remus, it was always him who would come. Eventually, they would just cuddle up together on the same bed.
What you said about Percy following the rules is exactly what I had in mind.
Also, yes! Percy’s own father works at the Ministry, and I’m sure he must’ve been in awed every time Arthur returned home exhausted after a day of dealing with post-war problems.
I think Percy was a quite child - I love the older two, but I don't connect with their stories as much - because of the war. And nobody minded. Being quiet meant he could hide, being quiet meant he wasn't a liability. But then the war ended, and people saw him as weird.
Honestly, I agree. Being quiet isn’t a flaw or a liability. However, from what I understand, Percy was already thought of as weird since way before the war. There’s a lot of moments in the books where people mock him (mostly the twins). I think it wasn’t until after the war that people started trying to understand him.
It's the Gujarati Anon here!
First off, those are some pretty great headcanons. Just one thing, if you headcanon Euphemia as Gujarati as well you may want to reconsider her lastname being Gill. Since Gill is generally a last name from Punjab with Sikh origins. I love the Jigishu part by the way! But I don't think it's something someone would actually name their kid but more of a affectionate nickname if their name was something like Jignesh.
Thank you! I apologize for mixing up the surnames, I’ll be changing it to something that fits where she’s from. Any suggestions?
Also, thanks for the Jigishu part. I’ll change James’ name now.
I appreciate the help! May I ask what you, as a Gujarati, like to see in James and his family?
