We are, of course, a Community dedicated to all things Harry Potter fanfiction. All genres, ships, and settings are welcome. Please read the rules carefully.


1.) No personal information. Do not share real-life information about yourself, any author, reader, or user of the platform. This includes real names, emails, passwords, etc. Author profiles are allowed.

2.) No hate speech. We do not tolerate any hate speech or witch-hunting directed at a person or group of people. This includes specific authors, specific readers, and people who like specific tropes, characters, or ships. Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, and other derogatory language are not tolerated. Violating this rule will result in an immediate ban.

3.) No personal attacks. No personal attacks or insults at another user, author, or reader. Purposefully inciting arguments by tagging another user or calling them names is prohibited. Threats will not be tolerated. Violating this rule will result in an immediate ban.

4.) No impersonating authors. Pretending to be an author and making posts and/or comments on an author's behalf will not be tolerated.

5.) Utilize spoiler tags. Spoilers only apply to fanfiction at this point in time. Spoiler tags are not required for any official media, including books, movies, games, etc. Surround the content of your spoiler like so: >!spoiler!<. Anything that reveals major parts of a plot (like a twist) should be tagged.

6.) No stealing content. Do not use this subreddit to circumnavigate the rules of other fanfiction communities, archives, or an author's personal will. Sharing fanfiction files against an author's will also violates this rule.

7.) Request Thread vs. What's That Fic? A Request thread should be used when looking for any fic that meets certain criteria. Example: Looking for fics where Cedric doesn't die after the tournament.

What's That Fic? should be used when looking for a certain fanfiction that you just can't remember the name of. Example: I read a fic where Cedric doesn't die after the Tournament and he establishes a safe house for muggleborns during the war. What is it?

8.) No Sexualization of Minors/Non-Consensual Sexual Content. Absolutely no direct links to fanfiction that involves minors in sexual or suggestive situations. Please see Lemmy's policy regarding this issue. Any direct link to such content will be removed. Gratuitous or positive depictions of non-consensual sexual content are also subject to removal.

9.) No bashing. Be respectful of other users' likes and preferences when posting. If a topic is not to your taste, use language that makes it clear it is your opinion while not attacking users. (Remember Rules 2 & 3.) This applies to all posts and comments in the Community. Example: "I don't think Harry and Ginny should have ended up together." is NOT bashing. Example: "You're a moron if you think Harry and Ginny should have ended up together. What kind of idiot actually enjoys those fics?" IS bashing.

10.) No Advertising. No advertising non-fanfics. This includes but is not limited to Discord servers, merchandise, paid applications, paid promotions, etc. Harry Potter fanfiction Communities may be linked as long as the content is not being spammed.

11.) No Politics Do not discuss real-world politics of any former or current country. This includes political beliefs, actions, events, and other similar topics.

12.) Discussion must be fanfiction related. Discussion must be fanfiction related. Any posts that do not discuss Harry Potter fanfiction at its core will be removed. This includes rehashing canon events, discussion of modern politics, and viewpoints of the author.

"Excuse me?" Petunia Dursley said to her sister, shocked that she suddenly showed up at her doorstep at Privet Drive, cradling a baby boy who was probably her nephew Harry.

"Our son Hadrian was attacked by the dark wizard Voldemort and survived his killing curse. The curse backfired, so now Voldemort is dead and it's because of Hadrian! Now he's very famous as the Boy Who Lived and destined for great things! Dumbledore told us it's him, because Hadrian has a V-shaped scar on his forehead. V-shaped, like Voldemort, it's symbolic!"

Confused Petunia looked at her nephew Harry, the scar on his forehead catching her interest. "But Harry also has a scar. It's a lightning bolt, does that not hold any special significance for you freaks?" she asked Lily.

"I don't know, Dumbledore didn't seem interested in that. In fact, he said that Harry's probably a squib. That's why he should stay with you dirty muggles, so that we can focus on our famous son Hadrian and his destiny!" Lily said.

"And why should I take him in?" Petunia sneered at Lily. "It's not like you and that freak you married are dead, take care of your own baby, you deadbeat!"

"Because Dumbledore said so!" Lily said as if that explained everything. "Who cares what some senile old fool running a school for freaks said? Leave me alone!" Petunia screamed as she slammed the door in Lily's face. "Well, that was incredibly rude! Wait 'till Dumbledore hears about this, you horse-faced bint!" Lily screamed at her, but then she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Hello, Lily." said clearly angry Sirius Black. "I had hoped I heard wrong, but it seems the rumours about you and James getting rid of Harry and trying to have him adopted by your cruel sister who hates you and everything connected to you are unfortunately true!"

"Yes, Dumbledore told us to do that and me and James agreed that's the best thing to do. We have to make sure Hadrian gets our full attention, after all! Harry would just get in the way!" Lily explained and if she were even a bit less self-centered, she could maybe notice by the expression on Sirius' face that his opinion of her sank even lower than before.

"You know, if you really can't raise Harry together with his brother Hadrian for whatever reason, why not have me take care of Harry? I'm his godfather, that's literally what I'm supposed to do!" Sirius growled.

"Alright, fine, you can have this brat. But if Dumbledore gets angry, it's on you!" Lily said as she tossed Harry into Sirius' arms. "Don't worry, I'll deal with Dumbledore!" Sirius growled, a look of disgust on his face. "But first, I'm gonna go knock some sense into James!"

It's a prompt based on the fanfic trope of having the Potters be neglectful, as well as the WBWL trope.
