Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Unfortunately that right belongs to J.K. Rowling. Because be sure that if I did own Harry Potter, he would have never ended up with Ginny Weasley ;P. I am merely borrowing some of her ideas and characters to put a different twist on the story.
Author's Note:
So, basically this is a dump for all of the ideas I have regarding Harry and uncommon pairings. I am a huge fan of Harry with pretty much anybody other than Ginny. I have read stories where she is his main love interest, but after a friend essentially told me all about Harry's Oedipus Complex I have not really been able to see the two of them together.
Also, I have the attention span of a dog when it comes to writing and I don't feel that I write as well as many of the other authors you will find on or elsewhere in the world. I am always looking for a new Harry/Harem, Harry/Multi, Harry/Female Cannon Character that you rarely see him with, or a Harry/OC fanfiction to read so needless to say my number one most visited website is this one. Now because I know I have a short attention span when it comes to writing I am looking for other like minded writers to take some of my ideas and make them a reality! So I have developed these one-shots and challenges to hopefully inspire my authors to write stories with an unusual pairing including Harry.
The story below the challenge is my little one-shot that I wrote to inspire somebody to write a story accompanying this challenge. I understand that it is not the best written (can you tell I have little faith in my writing ability?) but it's more the idea I'm getting across that I am hoping will inspire someone. If you decide to take up the challenge please PM me with a sample of your work and your plans for the story. Also, if any of you have found any good odd pairing stories involving Harry, review or PM me with the name of the story. Or if you have any ideas about how to improve my writing or my challenges leave a review also! I do not have a beta so there may be some misappropriated commas, etc. If you are interested in reading over my challenges and editing my work for me before I publish these oneshots then shoot me a PM!
Thanks, and I will post a new challenge every week with an unusual pairing idea and one-shot.

Having spent his afternoon in the park, mourning for the death of Cedric Diggory as guilt consumed him, Harry began his trek back to Number Four. Turning onto Privet Drive, he looked down the road only for terror to consume him as he noticed the cloaks of Death Eaters as they stood in the front yard of the Dursley's home. It was then that he heard the cackling of Voldemort as it was joined with the screams of what he was sure was his relatives. Ignoring the urge to run into the fray, Harry knew he had no hopes of defeating Voldemort and his minions alone and armed with only a wand. He quickly turned and sprinted away. Only for the Death Eaters to have noticed him and begin pursuit.
All Harry could hear was the sound of his own harsh breathing and the pounding of his heart. The slap, slap, slap sound of his feet meeting the pavement seemed to match the rhythm of his furiously beating heart as streaks of bright color zoomed past him. He turned down an alleyway only to discover that it was a dead end. His eyes ran over every crevice and wall looking for a way out, finding none he turned facing the entrance. Seconds later the entrance was filled with the cloaks of Death Eaters and a plethora of wands were pointed at him.
"Give up, Potter," hissed a voice from the group.
"Your time has come, Our Lord will take care of you the moment he arrives. You may as well start begging now," the voice continued.
Somewhere in Harry's mind, he registered that it sounded familiar like a certain blonde haired man he had met in second year. However, that was subdued by his instinctual mind that was trying to focus on how to survive this encounter when a hand from the shadows behind him grabbed him and pulled him back. Harry's cry of surprise and fear was muffled by the small gloved hand covering his mouth as the alleyway disappeared out of view. Suddenly, he found himself somewhere else entirely as the sudden change from darkness to light blinded him for a moment. The hand that had been over his mouth soon retreated as did the body that had been pressed against his back. He turned around wand at the ready only to find a dagger to his throat.
Harry gulped as a cold sweat developed over his skin. His mind already accepting the inevitable of his death as his eyes watered.
"Drop your wand," the voice whispered and if Harry wasn't so hyper aware of his surroundings at the moment he probably wouldn't have heard it. He did so. The moment the wand hit the ground the dagger was gone as if it had never been there. The gloved hand reached up grabbing at the cloth black mask his savior was wearing and pulled it off to reveal a petite feminine face with brown almond eyes and thin lips. Harry thought he recognized the face but could not seem to remember the Asian girl's name.
"Who-Who are you?" Harry whispered eyes wide as he tried to connect the dots between this girl and his memory.
The girl in front of him did not even blink as she replied, "Su Li." Then she turned and began walking away. It was then that Harry looked around to discover that he was in a dojo of sorts or at least that's what he thought it was having only seen a similar place from glimpses of Dudley's movie nights. She was almost out of the large room before he realized she was leaving.
"W-Wait where are you going?" Harry yelled after her stepping in her direction.
She merely looked over his shoulder and raised an eyebrow before making a subtle motion of her head for him to follow as she exited the room.
Harry didn't know what to expect from the seemingly stoic Asian girl but couldn't resist her subtle commands as he soon followed taking long strides to catch up to the girl dressed in all black linen clothing. "How did you know I was in danger? Why did you save me? How did you get in and out of that alleyway? Where do I know you from, you seem familiar? Where are we?" Harry spewed out the questions uncontrollably as he walked beside her.
Su Li glanced at him and looked back ahead not replying to his questions before they came upon a set of doors. She looked down pointedly at his feet. Harry not understanding just looking at her confused.
"Your shoes. Off." She ordered pointing at the ratty trainers. Harry nodded quickly taking them off without thinking. Once he was finished and had set them aside she opened the door and glided in. Harry walked in also looking around at the room his eyes settling on the man placed in the middle sitting with his legs folded beneath him. The man wore a navy blue kimono and his dark eyes followed Su Li as she entered. When she was before him she knelt and bowed before the man. Harry stood off to the side unsure of what he was doing here or what to do even.
"Daughter, you mission was a success?" the man's stern tone asked his eyes not leaving Su Li.
"Yes, I have retrieved Harry Potter from his pursuers." She responded as she sat up from her bow her eyes focused on the floor.
"Were you seen?" He continued.
"No, I took him from the shadows as I have been taught." Su Li replied firmly.
"Good, does he know why?" Her father pressed on.
"No, he seems to be unaware of the pertinent information, father." She stated.
"Hmm. Mr. Potter," the man said as he looked towards Harry, his black eyes seeming to bore a whole through Harry's being.
"Y-Yes?" Harry replied decidedly nervous.
"My name is Han Li. My family was hired by a Mr. Albus Dumbledore to retrieve you in the event the wards surrounding your property were to fall. You are currently at my so called manor. It is under the orders of Mr. Dumbledore that I keep you here until the beginning of your next term where my daughter, Su Li, will become your bodyguard at all times. Were you aware of this information?" Han Li asked emotionless.
"No, sir. I was not." Harry said as his eyebrows furrowed.
"My daughter has been taught to remain in the shadows, she is a Ravenclaw in your year at Hogwarts. That might be why you find her familiar. You will begin to train under Su Li to prepare you for the coming war against Voldemort as you are woefully prepared. You are to follow her words as if they were the law while she is your body guard. From here on out we will train you how to defend yourself and how to kill those who oppress others." Han Li explained.
"K-Kill, sir?" Harry asked his eyes wide with shock.
"Yes, I believe Dumbledore teaches about forgiveness and absolution. That everyone can change. However, the people you are facing will kill you at a moment's notice. They have raped, pillaged, killed, and molested, and those memories do not leave them nor is the joy they received from doing so ever forgotten." Han Li answered smoothly.
"Tonight, you rest, Mr. Potter. Tomorrow, you begin your training under Su Li. Daughter, show Mr. Potter to his room for the remainder of the summer." Han Li continued as he dismissed the two. Harry turned and followed Su Li out of the room as she exited. He grabbed his trainers at the door and the duo continued down a plethora of seemingly endless hallways before they arrived in front of a door.
Su Li opened the door and motioned for him to enter. "My room is the only other one in this hallway. If you need of me, go there. I will wake you in the morning for training. There is a spring with a shower outside the doors at the end of the hall if you wish to bathe. Good night." She said as she pointed to the significant doorways before disappearing back down the hallway not giving Harry time to ask any more questions.
Harry sighed. "I guess this is the beginning of a new chapter." He whispered to himself.
If you are interested in stories with unusual pairings like the one from my challenge above, I will have a suggestion for a story to check out at the bottom of each challenge. This week's story of interest is Call Me by Wrexscar. It's a Harry/Lisa Turpin story that is well written and entertaining (at least to me). So if you like non cannon pairings check this story out!
Thanks and peace out!
