I'm putting these on here in the hope someone will try to write them. I only ask that you PM me when you choose to write one and to give me the credit for the idea.
These plunny's start out the exact same way:
1. Michael wasn't born Michael Long, he was born Michael (blank) Potter, older brother to James. When he was 5, (James was 1 or 2), they finally realized that he was a squib, but instead of dumping him somewhere as other purebloods would have done, they gave him to a muggle couple they were good friends with; the longs. The Longs then moved to America where they adopted him, making him Michael Long. They told him about the adoption when he turned 15, and showed him pictures the Potters had sent. The rest is history until: (this is where the ideas split)
A. Sometime around the 4th season or maybe a little later, Harry is abandoned in America by the Dursley's and taken to the police before he will be sent to an orphanage. Harry can be physically and emotionally abused, or just emotionally, don't care which. Michael sees Harry's picture in the newspaper and is surprised by the resemblance to his brother. Michael would tell Kitt the truth about his parentage before going to see Harry at the police station. Kitt records it for Devon and Bonnie to see when Michael is ready to tell them. Michael talks to Harry and shortly after decides to adopt him. The rest is up to the author; but this was my idea on how to continue. Bonnie and Michael go to the orphanage where Harry now is, and go through the process of adopting him. (I don't know how the adoption process works) They even take him shopping while Devon gets a room ready for Harry. Harry is then introduced to Kitt whom he immediately likes and feels safe with. They shopped for everything: clothes, shoes, toys, bedroom stuff, books, movies, and other stuff. They even bought paint for his new room. One of the people painting his room offered to do a mural, and Harry chose Kitt as the center piece, with Michael sitting on his hood, surrounded by his favorite animals in a forest clearing. About 4 days after he'd settled in his new room, Devon got a call from Remus Lupin, who had seen the news about the adoption in the paper, and wanted to know if he could see Harry. He knew they would want to check him out, so he agreed to meet with someone. Michael and Kitt met him in a park, and Remus told Michael who he was and showed him some pictures and told him some stories. Kitt of course was recording the whole thing for future viewing. They then went home and told Harry about the meeting. Harry wanted to meet the man, but only so long as Michael and Kitt were there. They met with Remus and he told them more stories about Harry's parents. That's as far as i got with this. The idea dries up.
B. This one starts out with Harry (not married to Ginny, please) somewhere between 18 - 20 years old. He'd found his father's journals in the old Potter mansion, and discovered he had another uncle. His father's journal's however did not contain the information on his uncle's new name or whereabouts. So he searched for his gradparents journals. It took him several days, but eventually he found them in the family vault. He then headed for America to find his uncle. His search for Michael Long hit a dead end however when he was told his uncle was dead. His search raised red flags with the foundation, which was now under Michaels command as Devon had retired. They immediately found who was searching for him, and Michael realized why the man was trying to find him. He must have been his brother's son. He debated with himself on whether or not to approach him. The look of devestation on the young man's face at the news Michael Long was dead, made up his mind, and he approached him in a park. They got to talking and that's as far as I got.
The next two ideas are somewhat similar, but different: Harry as Michael
2. The night of the Attack on Halloween, the attack on Harry somehow transported him into the past, where he is either found by the Longs, or adopted by them from an orphanage. When he reaches 15 they tell him the truth. Now in 1991 the wizarding world is panicking at the loss of their savior. Michael knows nothing of this, until they search for Harry outside Europe. Can be anytime after 1991. Using magic, they find who is supposed to be Harry Potter. Instead they find a stranger who is not happy with the intrusion, and refuses to answer their questions, or go with them. The rest is up to the author.
3. This one is probably no good: Harry from the future is transported back in time with memories and magic intact, and somehow ends up in a stillborn Michael Long. If this one worked, it would be severely AU. I can't even see how he would have ended up as Michael Knight, let alone partners with Kitt.
4. This last one is really whacked: Somehow Michael and Kitt get transported to the Harry Potter Universe and Harry finds them, OR it could go the other way around and through a magic incident (I'm thinking something similar to what happened in the first chapter of 'The Alien Reality') or accident Harry get's transported to the Knight Rider Universe and Michael and Kitt find him. This would be better since Kitt could have maintenance when needed. I don't see how either of these ideas could work but, (shrugs). It's up to the author whether or not they're worth trying.
