Title: Field of Plot Bunnies
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own Harry Potter and all characters from the series. Any characters I make are completely fictional and neither belongs in the original Harry Potter series nor in real life. I am writing this for fun, not profit.
Summary: Just some ideas that popped into my head. Not sure if I'll actually turn them into fanfics. If anyone else wants to use these ideas, they are more then welcome to. Just let me know so that I can enjoy reading them too. *grins* Each Chapter is a different bunny.
Chapter 1 ~ Lily Lynn Evans… or is it Riddle?
Harry sighed as the potion went from an acid green color to a nice dark purple that seemed to have red glitter in it. Looking at Hermione, the two grinned.
"As I told you at the beginning of this class, this potion will show you part of your wizarding ancestry. As this potion is a bit… temperamental, it may show just a few of your most recent ancestors, or it may show your family all the way back to a thousand years. If you are muggleborn, then it will just show your name. Now, if you all are finished, you will prick your finger with the, sterile, needle provided and allow a drop to fall on the parchment. Then you will take three drops of the potion, and drop it on top of the blood. As this is the easiest step, if any of you dunderheads manage to mess it up, I will strangle you myself."
A whimper could be heard from Neville's direction and Hermione tried to shoot the boy an encouraging look, but at Snape's scowl both Harry and Hermione hastened to grab their needles. Hermione went first and Harry watched as the potion and blood lingered for a moment before shifting to spell out Hermione Jean Granger. After a second, a line appeared above her name and started to build her family tree. Though Hermione's name was red, Hermione's father's name was blue and her mother's name was purple. And while the tree went no further than her father's name on that side of her family, they line continued to add more purple names to Hermione's mother's ancestors until it finally reached red names.
Both Harry and Hermione gapped as they saw the names Filch and McGonagall.
"Well, Miss Granger, it seems as though you're not as muggleborn as everyone thought… Potter! Why haven't you tested your blood yet?!"
Harry scowled but pricked his finger and got to work. It didn't take long and Harry smiled as he saw his parent's names appear in red above his, his mother's showing up as Lily Lynn Evans, being as that was her maiden name. Above James Charlus Potter's name came two more names, Charlus James Potter and Dorea Violetta Black. The names continued to climb above his father's and Harry smiled before looking back at his mother's name, hoping that his mother was the descendant of squibs, like Hermione.
Harry blinked in confusion for a second as he saw that his mother's mother was listed as Rosalie Leanne Evans nee' White. Her name was in blue, showing that she was a muggle. But Lily's father wasn't listed as an Evans… in fact, Harry's eyes bugged out as he saw the name in red lettering. Tom Marvolo Riddle. Harry gapped at the name and next to him, Hermione gasped. Above Riddle's name, were listed Merope Cecilia Gaunt and Tom Elliot Riddle.
"Well Potter? Find any new…"
Harry glanced up in time to see the shock on Snape's face as the man paled, before the parchment was snatched from the table.
"Potter, stay after class today."
Harry managed to nod through the fog quickly enveloping his mind before everything went black.
