Rhonda Lupin – One Hogwarts Professor's Battle Against Sexism, Curses, and the Dark Arts.
Rhonda Lupin goes to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts in Harry's third year; she quickly encounters the same vile, chauvinistic expectations that she has found at every place she's worked, but grits her teeth and deals with it for the sake of her favorite students. Told from her point of view, Harry is less of a chosen one and more of protected one – think Willow, if you've seen that movie, only sassier, smarter, and a girl. She's Remus Lupin's cousin, and is chosen over him to teach the subject because she's just as qualified, but doesn't have the disadvantage of being a werewolf. Is friends with Severus Snape and was Lily Potter's friend, and she eventually goes head-to-head with Voldemort. Speaking of which, Voldy isn't actually after Harry in this one, that's just a red herring he's using to distract Dumbles from his real plan to take over the world! But Rhonda, clever woman that she is, figures it out and becomes a major (and actually mature and adult) part of the quest to defeat him. {Possibility: Give Voldy a possible sexual attraction to her because she's such a strong, intelligent person and nothing like any other woman he's ever seen? She'd have none of it of course, but still, it's an idea... Not necessary, but still...} Self-appoints herself Harry and his friend's protector, and most of the adventure is resolved when they're under 15 – Rhonda don't take no shit, and she don't let no big man boss her around.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm very strange in my way of writing down story ideas. Be as creative as you want while interpreting my shorthand.
Ferocity
Feral!Harry; raised either by a pack of werewolves or by dementors. Isolated from humankind for his entire life, can Harry re-integrate with a new society? Does he even want to?
Everything's Connected!
Harry Potter, following the events of fourth year, becomes increasingly paranoid, to the extent of locking himself in his bedroom all summer and checking for poison in the meals being shoved through the catflap in his door, all while taking all his magical schoolbooks and drawing connections where otherwise there might be none found. Now a magical conspiracy theorist, he befriends Luna Lovegood while his worried besties, Ron and Mione, look on, and he and Luna investigate Voldemort's past on their own. Smart!Harry, he pretends to agree with Umbridge, so that no one will suspect that he knows the truth. With a head full of paranoid thoughts and a tendency towards jumping to conclusions, will Harry defeat Voldemort in his own way? Or will he die at the Dark Lord's hands?
I'll be uploading these three at a time. I still have loads!
