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.) Prompts Only On Weekends

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

13.) 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.

Harry knocks on the large wooden doors to the headmaster's office. “Professor Dumbledore, could I talk to you for a moment?”

“Ah, Harry my boy, of course. How are your classes going?

“They’re going well. Professor Lupin has been teaching me how to cast the Patronus charm.”

Dumbledore beamed. “That’s wonderful to hear.”

“I wanted to ask you something about… About Tom Riddle’s Diary.”

The smile fell off of Dumbledore's face and he gave a tired sigh. “What is it you wish to know, Harry?”

“That Diary… it wasn’t a normal dark artifact, was it, sir?” Harry asked

Dumbledore tensed. “What makes you say that?”

“Is it really possible to store a memory in a Diary?”

“Well, it is certainly possible to place memories into inanimate objects.” Dumbledore deflected. “Just look at the numerous portraits across the castle.”

“But that’s just it!” Harry exclaims. “The portraits, they’re just impressions. They don’t think or act on their own. Not like Riddle’s diary did. And sapping Ginny’s life away to strengthen itself… A memory couldn’t do that.”

Dumbledore sighs heavily and deflates. “No, you are quite right, my boy. What that diary contained was much more sinister than a mere memory.”

“What was it, then?”

“I had been planning to tell you about it later, but I suppose I may as well tell you now. I believe that Diary was something called a Horcrux. I will not go into detail, but suffice to say, Tom performed a ritual to split himself.”

“A Horcrux…” Harry mused.

“It is the foulest of magical rituals, Harry.” Dumbledore warned sternly. “Do not go looking for information pertaining to them.”

“Of course,” Harry nodded quickly.

“Now, I must ask, what brought about this question?” Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and popped a lemon drop into his mouth.

“Well, the thing is, Professor…” Harry began nervously, “I think Hermione may have created a Horcrux.”

Dumbledore choked on his lemon drop.

“Harry my boy," Dumbledore said after coughing up his lemon drop. "I’m sure I must have misheard you. Did you just say that you think Miss Granger created a Horcrux?”

“Hermione has been acting strangely all term. I remember when we got our schedules, Hermione had some overlapping classes. I thought it was just a mistake or something, and she wasn’t actually taking all those classes, but the other day, she mentioned something about a project she was working on for Ancient Runes. I asked around, and people say that she’s never missed a class. But Ancient Runes is at the same time as Divination! And she’s always in Divination with me and Ron. Somehow, she’s in two places at once! And then I remembered the Diary. And you just said that a Horcrux lets someone split themselves…” Harry took a deep breath and licked his lips nervously. “I think Hermione created a Horcrux so that she could take extra electives.”
