3 Must read fanfiction for Harry Potter Fans..

Hello dear Potterheads,

I was introduced to the world of Harry Potter at the age of 16 by my brother.. Had been a Potterhead from that moment.But you can read those 7 books only, like 100 times..You start to crave for more stories..That's when I found the wonderful world of fanfiction..mind it,you have to read some 100 garbage to find one gem..for the last five years,I read lots of garbage and many gems..I wish to share my absolute favorites..



#3 : Delicate

Website:www.harrypotterfanfiction.com
Author;padfoot4ever
Rating: Mature
Era:Next generation
Pairing: Scorose(Scorpious Malfoy-Rose Weasley) and other canon pairings.
Status: Completed.

Why its my favorite:

I got to admit,stories revolving around teenage pregnancies are not my thing. Here the story starts by revealing that 16 year old Rose Weasley(daughter of Ron and Hermione) is pregnant by none other than Scorpious Malfoy(son of Draco and Astoria) by accident.(I mean,firewhisky)..yet this story is my favorite..because it captures the next generation of golden trio wonderfully..

I adore Ron and Hermione here..The entire weasley clan are worth reading.Our Rose is little crazy here but you will love her. Our Scorpious is a little jerk here,but you will love him. Our James Potter here is a little insensitive pranskster..Albus a goody goody shoes,Lily a little bit slut..but I love them with all their imperfections..and I know you would too..

#2.My Possibly crazy neighbours

Website: www.harrypotterfanfiction.com

Author: thecoolestdark13

Ratings: Mature

Era: Marauders era

Pairings: Sirius/OC

Status: WIP

Why its my favorite:

Who doesn't like a marauder era fanfiction? We are all curious to pair that wonderful  Sirius Black with a deserving OC..but a muggle??that too the story from her point of view??..For the first time in my fanfiction reading years, I fell in love with a original character. Mellie is that OC,and she is fantastic here. A normal 16 year old girl from normal world.But when the Potters moved in as her next door neighbour,chaos ensues.

         Mellie believes James is potty. and Potters are weirdos.
But Sirius is handsome..What to do??? Read,one of the best I could find it humor genre..

#1.The Marauders' companion

Website:FictionHunt

Author:Mibamonster

Ratings: Mature

Era: Marauders' era

Pairings: James/Lily

Status: Completed.

Why its my favorite:

Its not a story. Its Marauders(James,Sirius,Remus,Peter,Lily) reading fanfiction..what would happen if Marauders got hold of the fanfictions we wrote about them..How would they react to some craziest descriptions of them? How would Remus and Sirius would react the pairing of WolfStar?How would they explain wholesome hatred for Peter in fandom?How would James and Lily react to their pairing as One True Love and their future son Harry?
How would they react to some trash as fanfiction and their character assaninations???

Well..Read. You are in for a treat..Time for laughing out aloud....

Happy  Reading:-)))))

On Slytherin

Every Harry Potter reader and movie goer knows Slytherin is the evil house of Hogwarts. Its not hard,considering we are hit over the head by the blunt statements of our protagonist's friends from the starting of his diagon alley journey about the evilness of Slytherin.

Here's what Hagrid says when Harry asks about Slytherin,

Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin,’ said Hagrid darkly. ‘There’s not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin. You-Know-Who was one.’

So Harry's first impression is he better be a Hufflepuff who are duffers(in Hagrid's opinion) than a Slytherin.The pale boy whom he has disliked in Madam Malkin(Draco Malfoy),who has reminded him of his cousin Dudley seems wanting to be a Slytherin..blimey the murderer of his parents Voldemort was a Slytherin!!!

His first friend Ron Weasley says this on the train,
I don’t suppose Ravenclaw would be too bad, but imagine if they put me in Slytherin.’ 
‘That’s the house Vol— I mean, You-Know-Who was in?’ 
‘Yeah,’

So no wonder Harry was prejudiced against the house from the beginning..no wonder he begged the sorting hat not to put him in Slytherin.

As its from Harry's POV,we too jump the bandwagon. It doesn't help that Draco Malfoy,Severus Snape and Voldemort are all from Slytherin.:-) 


More than Voldemort,Snape and Malfoy fuels Harry's anger against the snake house.In Chamber of Secrets Harry worries for days about his may-be-blood relationship with Salazar Slytherin and his suitability in Gryffindor.If a Boggart lesson takes place in CoS before Harry meeting Demontors,his biggest fear might be Salazar  Slytherin as boggart calling Harry ''My dear Grandson'':-) :-) 

Harry's mentality is justified.After all he is a 11 year old boy.Who ever is nice to him means 'good'.Infact we are not introduced to one nice Slytherin(not good,nice) till HBP when Horace Slughorn comes along. Even then Harry is not that much fond of Slughorn. 

House cup rivalry and Quidditch matches have added fuel to fire.Pure blood supremacy which degrades Muggle born students as 'Mud bloods' is perhaps the breaking point of the already waned relationship between both houses.

Despite all these things, I am sorted into Slytherin,the house we all hate along with our hero Harry Potter, in PotterMore -J.K.Rowling's official website.


That's right. I belong to the house of Snape and Malfoy who are pretty much my least favorite characters in the entire series.But I have to defend my house or perhaps my personality which qualifies me as a Slytherin. The question is not why,but How.

On Harry Potter

       There are things we enjoy,that made great impact on ourselves that we simply can't imagine our life without it..My friends may roll their eyes at me for this dramatic statement..I hardly blame them, because they had to endure with my obsession during our school days.(infact I inflicted my obsession on quite a number of people!!!)

      If its still not clear from the title, I'm talking about my beloved Harry Potter series by J.K.Rowling...that is I'm not a fan of Harry potter movies,only books.(unlike some of my friends)..

             I watched first two movies to get my imagination of characters and wizarding world right..I spent the last of my teenage years immersing in the wonderful Hogwarts..
Though in the later years I understood,magic didn't solve anything but created many problems along the way..but where is fun,with out trouble??(for us to read anyway).

             When I got tired of reading the books again and again(I know,I read that many times),I discovered the wonderful world of fan fiction:-) 

               Though you have to swim across thousands of garbage to read one decent story, its worth our time..I got addicted to fan fiction for some time and started seeing the characters in grey shades than my previous version of black and white.. When my favorite characters are shown to be imperfect,I accepted it and admired them for their flaws..after all I don't want to read about Heroes but normal human beings who are pushed to such extremes..

              Quiet a rant..isn't it???
