Story: Amalgum – Lockhart's Folly
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11913447/31/

Very good story with one of the weirdest time travel plots I have read. Harry has lost everything due to the idiot Ron Weasley and Voldemort. The muggles became involved and nuked the majority of wizardry world. Death does not want a master and agrees to let Harry have another chance. Unfortunately there is a problem an instead of entering his body he enters Gilderoy Lockhart. Then the fun begins the two switch back and forth while teaching and foiling Dumbledore plan. It is funny, strange, light hearted fun.

My Daughter by therealthing

Het Vader/Padme, Leia/Han


Great story, I love a good redemption story especially one based on a great love story. In this case what if Darth Vader realized that Leia was his daughter as soon as he saw her. learning that his child lived started his travel back to the light side. he had no intention of letting Leia be tortured or her home planet destroyed. He helps her escape aiding Ben Kenobi to his shock and of course as soon as he meets Luke he realizes who he is as well. He ends up on the Falcon when Leia is wounded. he also finds out that Padme also lived. the story is intense in parts with some excellent dialogue and character development. Anakin is more gray now then light or dark. He has a second chance and will let nothing stand in his way. The author takes that one change and takes the story in a different direction. Very well done and you gotta laugh at his reactions when he realizes that Leia is interested in Han.

Great, great story something that I have come to expect from this author. This is the first I think that has the goblins involved in the time travel. Harry doesn't come to Hogwarts and when they go to get Harry they find he died at the age of three from starvation. The poor little body is brought back to be buried alongside his parents. The funeral makes you cry and the author hints at what is to come when as they are leaving there are cloaked figures watching it all. Severus is the one to figure it out first since he dressed the body and realized his magic was in the body, it was a golem. He is the one to go back in time and a wonderful story begins to unfold. I like this author in particular because of her character development, their humanity makes them easy to relate to, they are not over the top super Harry and supporting cast. In this case Severus takes Harry to the Caribbean to a world so different from British magic. The trials and tribulations of a single father especially one of Severus temperament is funny. Snape begins to realize that he has let people in beginning with his son who he will die to protect hoping that once he learns the truth he will not hate him. The headmaster of Harry’s school is in the know due to circumstances giving him someone to connect with. In addition he has become general friends with many in the area, he is no longer the greasy bat of the dungeons. A very enjoyable story with a sequel, I can't wait to see where it goes.

I put both links because not sure which will work, sometimes the first link sends you to the homepage. if it does on the menu go to “ Others”  and then “Everything”. This is a list of all stories since this is the only location for the stories that I could find you will notice they are in red so easy to find.

Great story or should I say stories as the author takes the first chapters and then splits them at a crucial moment. In one story he stays at Hogwarts "The Final Straw" and this one where he leaves Hogwarts for America. I love the relationship between the twins and Harry, the twins always have his back and in fact make it to his school to help him fight off a Lycan attack. As Dobby would say Harry fights best with the twins at his side. The host of OC's are well drawn out. And there is some definite drama that doesn’t really have anything to do with England that Harry gets dragged into. And I do agree with some critics he basically has Ron and Hermione 2.0 in Warrick and Sophie but this is them without the obvious flaws. Not say they don't have flaws and Harry is the most flawed character but he knows this and looks to his friends to keep him stable.  He definitely is paranoid and bitter lashing out at those he thinks betrayed him small or large. He comes off as arrogant but he can back up what he says. I like the characterization for the Golden Trio which is really realistic for teenagers that grew up too fast. The action scenes are extremely good but the author can get a little carried away with minutiae and the story drags in spots. There is no extreme bashing but I loved the howler campaign especially the all female howler. Like he told some complaining males don't cheat and you have nothing to worry about. I read this long ago and just found it again. An enjoyable read and definitely one worth keeping now I think I'll go reread Final Straw.
