The Harmony Bond -
Way back in 1988, Hermione is mysteriously attracted to Privet Drive, where the Grangers end up saving Harry from the Dursley. However, something equally strange happens when Harry and Hermione touch for the first time…
As a result of these events, things are changed greatly before we even get to Hogwarts and after a certain point, the plot differs significantly from Canon.
Tragedy -
A sudden tragedy strikes Hermione’s family. Thought her life is now irrevocably changed, she has her friends to support her, with her relationship with Harry growing ever stronger among these, eventually evolving into something else…
A realistic portrayal of loss, grief and also of life after Hogwarts for our heroes.
Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Future’s Past
Harry has managed to beat Voldemort, but has lost everything and everyone that he holds dear. So he hatches a plan to go back to the past to change things for the better.
What I think makes this work is that firstly, Harry realizes that he is basically manipulating his friends from the start and must deal with the moral implications of that. Secondly, he tries to avoid making drastic changes, preferring subtler ones that still improve his chances of succeeding and allow him to not lose the edge the edge his foreknowledge gives him, which still cause unexpected turns of events.
Marissa and the Wizards
Marissa is a young girl who lives in the streets of São Paulo, Brazil. Lately strange things have been happening around her and soon revealed to be a Witch.
An interesting look into a Wizarding culture outside Europe. There are subtle differences, such as how the Diagon Alley equivalent works, the transportation method to school, how Houses and the school itself are structured and inclusion of local folklore.

Follows Teddy Lupin and his friends on their first year at Hogwarts, as well as the rest of the first generation born since the end of the war.
Makes good use of an interesting cast of OCs and keeps
Canon Characters that do appear well character. Also include a nice intrigue plot.
Last time around, I didn’t have any Badfic to submit ( or at least I thought I didn’t) , but this time have got plenty, so I figured I should be productive and post them here along with the Goodfics.

A sudden flash of memory and an overheard conversation starts Harry on journey to rediscover something he lost in sixth year. What he finds could change, not only his life, but those of every one close to him as well.
Bashes Ron to hell, attempts to fix Harry and Hermione’s strained friendship in HBP badly and creates a horrible brand of love potion in order to sastify the last point.

Starts out the day after the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry and Hermione meet the Goddess of Love, and she offers to let them go back in time. Strictly Harry and Hermione. Minor - well maybe major Ginny, Ron and Dumbledore Bashing. Soul Bond - Time Travel
Creates uncanonical deities, treats every single major Harry-Hermione friendship moment as a failed destined romantic one ( Yes, even those in PS and CoS!) and as understated in above summary, bashes Ron, Ginny and Dumbledore to hell! Seriously, this one of those stories were Ron only is a friend of Harry because the meeting at King Cross was staged. Also, Ginny tries to love potion Harry with increasingly vile concoctions at turn.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6067357/1/A-place-called-home " > A place called home - T
All anyone ever wants out of life is love, a family and home. Sometimes these are right under your nose. Harry/Hermione romance fic. Rated T. Non canon compliant with HBP or DH... probably not OOTP either.
Keeps several characters that be dead in canon alive. Its plots also hinges on making Hermione’s parents OOC from what little characterization they have, turning her mother in an extremely emotionally abusive parent, making her father betray his family and ultimately making them both outright abandon her. Also gives Hermione several Uncanonical Relatives.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5732117/6/Not-What-it-Appears" > Not What it Appears - T
Children that grow up without a stable loving family can sometimes turn toward bad ways. A set of twins wan to stop that for two young children.
First of all, it makes Hermione’s parents extremely neglectful towards her. Then it makes Dumbledore and McGonagall into a crack pairing and thus gives them a truckload of joint Uncanonical Relatives and even a few to Voldemort ,again, some of which are shared with one of the former pair’s! It also hinges on a highly uncanonical spell, which is a worse rhyme-laden mess than Fred and George’s turn-Scabbers-yellow hoax, but for some Glaurunging it still works! And as a result of said spell, once we do get to Hogwarts, the plot of SS is mostly rehashed 14 years later than Canon.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5813363/1/Adopted" Adopted M (was formerly rated lower before the author decided to add a needlessly graphic sex scene in one of the later chapters)
Harry and Hermione make an impromptu visit to an orphanage one day and decide to adopt a child. Georgiana is a five-year-old orphan who just wants to be loved. What happens when these two paths cross? Rating now upped!
Features a child Sue who creates a highly illogical adoption plot. Said child Sue reality warpings include: allowing a 18 and a 17 not in a stable relationship to adopt a child(it also makes Harry older than Hermione somehow) , changing how the Britain foster care system works, creating fictional records for Harry and Hermione in the Muggle world, rehashing a terribly clichéd adoption plot and making said pair to always have been attracted to one another. The child Sue is also of course uncharacteristically mature for 5-6 year old.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5598955/1/Positive" > Positive /a>
Harry and Hermione have a one-nite stand rite before the Third Task in Fourth Year, but soon that leads to consequences and responsibilities.
By the same author as Adopted. First of all, it simply erases all the Weasleys from existence without rhyme or reason. Then it makes Harry get Hermione at the tender age of 15 (again the author makes Harry older than Hermione because they can’t seem to correct a false assumption they once had). While at it, Dumbledore is driven extremely OOC, going so far as to try to force Hermione to abort for the greater good. It also gives Hogwarts dormitories for couples some reason. Then things really get weird, as Harry is inexplicably able to read his unborn daughter’s mind (no really) , which is further compounded by said child Sue having unrealistic development, as in, she learns to walk, talk, read, write and such unnaturally earlier than she should. I could almost swear that the author tried to partially adapt Breaking Dawn into a HP fic.
