A Second Chance

Gen Harry Potter

Great story and one of my favorite story lines where Harry is raised by his future self. In this one he is raised by James's blood adopted brother Diablos Potter. Who we later find out is Harry from another timeline. The action is great and the heroes flawed. With Harry being raised differently all the interactions are different especially with Draco and Hermione. There is no pairing but still the interactions among the characters shows the deep affection and trust that motivates them to protect each other no matter who stands in the way. The depiction of Dumbledore in both lives is disturbing because there is a very fine line between devoted to a cause and a fanatic to a cause. I love the loyalty and sassyness of Diablos house elf. There is a follow up story I have not read yet but I am sure it is just as good.

Angry Harry and The Seven (Harry/Daphne)

Excellent story of what would happen if Harry actually had some backup and knowledge when he enters Hogwarts. Harry has an eidetic memory and a temper after meeting with the Goblins he finds out that not only has he been stolen from but that he has a marriage contract with Daphne Greengrass. Things begin to change drastically from that as he learns more about who he is and his place in the world. Thanks to building alliances with the Longbottom and Bones family and his new in-laws he takes Dumbledore by surprise. All Dumbledore can do is watch as his plans for a Martyr Savior crumble around him.Harry begins to gather friends and allies around him and destroys the myth of the boy-who-lived and becomes the man, husband, and father he was always meant to be. The opening chapter grabs your attention and does not let go. The story as a little of everything and while some scenes are a little too dragged out the characterization is well done. The characters never loose momentum and while Harry is smart and powerful he is not super Harry.

Great story with a lot of snark and a Harry that knows what he wants in life (To be a top Nascar Driver) and damn anybody who tries to tell him different. He has the family to back it up too. This is a crossover with Mercedes Lackey's SERREated Edge series. However you do not need to know the series to understand the story. Dumbledore lost all track of Harry when he disappears at 6, he covers it  up and tells everyone that he is in training, finally in desperation he decides to hold the Tri-Wizard tournament and enter Harry. Aren't they all surprised when the magic pulls a racecar to appear and crash to a stop in the middle of the arena. Harry is pissed, the wizards are appalled he doesn't seem to know about magic and is refusing to cooperate. When his family get there Dumbledore and the ministry feel it is their duty to get Harry back to a proper family. After all they are only muggles how much trouble would his guardians give them, his grandmother Lady Ako, his parents Tannim and Shar Drake, his employer Keighvin Silverhair & his teacher Chinthliss and FX. They are about to find out they may be in a little more trouble for they are in reality; The Lady Ako of the Kitsunes, Lord Keighvin Silverhair of Fairgrove Elf, Chinthliss Dragon, FX a Kitsune fox spirit and his father Tannim The Iron Mage. They should have held to their motto. Never tickle a sleeping dragon.

The End and The Beginning (Harry/Hermione)

Very good story even though the story line has become commonplace especially for the Harry Potter fandom. Time travel if done well then becomes an interesting way to change canon. I love a good time travel story especially when more then one person comes back. In this case everything turned to hell after Sirius is killed and Dumbledore poisoned. In the end Voldemort becomes emperor and the European world is falling. When Hermione is killed Harry finds a way to change the past or possibly just dying at his own hand, at this point he really does not care. When the ritual is over he opens his eyes to find himself staring at Buckbeak and knows that Hermione is right behind him. What he did not realize was that since he did the ritual over Hermione's grave he had dragged her with him. Together they can face anything and it becomes a wild ride on deciding what to do, who to trust, who to kill, why does everybody keep putting 2 and 2 together and getting time travel, and most important is the Wizarding World really worth saving.

Haunted (Harry/Luna)

Awesome, Awesome story, long too over 400,000 words but so worth the reading. This is one of the older stories I saved for reviewing based on someone's recommendation, can't remember who since it was more then a year ago. This story is a crossover between Harry Potter and Natsume Yujin-Cho. Let me say first I have never watched this anime and everything I know about it is from Wikipedia. This takes place after Takashi is an adult and in going through his grandmother's things he finds out he has relatives in England. Once he begins investigating he finds a prophecy that ties him and unknown relative together. After finding his cousin Harry he also finds that he is subject to another one in Britain pertaining to the Dark Lord.

 In finding him he also finds that 1) Harry has spirit energy and can see Youki, 2) he has magic and 3) his guardians are not suitable to raise a child with special needs. After meeting  Dumbledore, whom he is not impressed with, he does agree that Harry should learn about his heritage. While Takashi agrees that Harry needs to go to Hogwarts he makes some demands first. Harry will attend under his new name of Ryuu, he will continue any training, he will continue studying his mundane education with other proviso to be added as needed. Takashi dealt with everything as a teenager with little to no training and wishes for the opposite for Harry. He makes contact with the Japanese magical community and begins Harry's training early. Harry is under a disadvantage in that due to his fear of the Youki he has become a mute. He begins to gather friends and trainers that become family. Their is action galore and Hogwarts is not prepared for a Japanese Magical Samurai in training. The adventures are there but with a different take and the main characters are different enough to keep this story from being just a rewrite. No one finds out that he is Harry Potter until fourth year. There is a lot of Harry whumping due to Dumbledore's and Voldemort's manipulations as well as his own rushing into things. There are twists and turns and some real cliff hangers and parts that make you want to cry from the sheer pain. The ending is one hell of a twist and all I can say is that it will make you laugh and cry.

Dumbledore wanted a pawn, a martyr, a minion of the light to follow his orders; instead he got a strong wizard with a core of steel, someone willing to kill to protect those he loves, a samurai who know how to lead and when to follow. There a clashes of temperment and wills. But as long as he has his family, his familiars and his love Luna then he can do anything.

Why is this person not a professional writer. There are some parts that are weak with some grammar or editing problems but all in all a kick ass story.
