Right, so I know there's a number of these out there, but I'm having difficulty remembering this one great one, and if it might be out there anywhere else, like maybe FictionHunt or Archive of our own or something, since I'm pretty sure I remember it getting deleted off this site, when I opened the tab for it one day, and it showed that the story "wasn't available"...
Though, BECAUSE there are so many of these, I can only really remember a few parts from this, and I'm not sure if they'll be enough to narrow it down enough for anyone to actually be able to tell me... If you can, or you think you have one that's close enough, feel free to suggest it to me, since I wouldn't mind finding any others... But this one, despite being posted a number of years ago, is still the best one I've read to this date, with the amount of effort the writer actually put into the character reactions and actions during the reading and such... The reason for the T rating is due to a couple of the scenes that I can remember from this due to just... Well, the writer really did go all out...
So, the parts that I can remember clearly:
- It takes place during Fifth Year, like most of these do, due to Umbridge being a bitch and trying to expose Harry's "Lies" (I'm like 90% on this though, so there IS the chance I'm wrong... Though I'm almost sure I'm not.)
- At one point, things start to get to be WAY too much for Harry... So, he takes his Firebolt, exits the main hall, and is allowed to just fly around to clear his mind a such on the grounds, with one or two people noticing and smiling at the fact he's able to relax...
- The big one, and the one that honestly has me debating whether to make this M even if it's just mentioning it...: His magic caused him to forget A LOT of shit that happened to him, which is only revealed when Poppy drags him off to a side room, and starts to remove them... A LOT more abuse at the hands of the Dursley's than what's shown in the books, more things he went through at Hogwarts without Ron and Hermione(I think, can't remember all the memories that were returned...), and the biggest of all: The reveal that Lockhart actually modified his memory at one point due to him walking in on the man raping one of the students...
As for things I'm not entirely sure about, but I think happened:
- Sirius was included, along with the Weasleys.
- They were caught in a kind of time-bubble that surrounded Hogwarts and the grounds around it.
And overall, before anyone suggests it, no I'm not thinking about the other one I'll admit I'm enjoying, which takes place during fourth year and has Harry being "adopted" by a Black Mamba in the second to latest chapter. Though that's another interesting one that's slowly been getting updated...
So yeah, if anyone has any ideas as to what story this may be, if there may be another copy of it or anything anywhere on the internet I could find since it was deleted off this site, I would GLADLY hear about it, since like I said, it's one of the best HP-react stories I've found...
