TITLE:
PERPETRATOR:
Purple-Sherlock-1985SUE-O-METER: Toxic
COVER/BANNER ART: The cover is Cedric. Guess who Harry is supposed to be paired with.
SUMMARY:”What if Harry was the son of James and Remus and Hermione was the daughter of Sirius and Lily? What if Albus finds away to bring back James and Lily from the dead? The six then go into hiding under disguise. SLASH GENDERBENDING JPRL SBLE HPCD HGFW ADMM.”
FULL NAME: James, Lily, Remus, Harry, Hermione, Sirius, and who knows who else.
SPECIES: Not the canon characters.
HAIR: See markings…
EYES: See markings…
MARKINGS: “Where once stood a six foot, thin, golden brown haired man was now replaced with a five foot seven and curvy slender woman. A highly attractive woman, who had waist length raven wavy hair, and bright blue eyes, and a slightly darker skin tone.”
POSSESSIONS:
CONNECTION TO CANON: Lily and James still die in the first chapter. Dumbledore though has a special potion to bring them back in the second chapter. Next, they decide to do glamour charms on the kids. Then we find out that instead, Remus needs to transfigure himself into a female. They still get brought back, and they complain that it was Harry instead of Neville. They’re then taken to Hogwarts to heal up. And yes, in the fourth chapter Remus is made to turn into a girl. James says, “Well, luckily for you Remy, I’m bi-sexual. So I guess our sex life won’t be going to hell.”
ORIGIN: On top of what’s in the summary, Dumbledore and Minerva area also married.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: Where to even begin.
NOTES: There are some questions, like the one in the summary, which simply don’t need to be asked. The question isn’t like “why is the sky blue”, but more along the lines of “why do pigs fly”. I honestly couldn’t read past the fourth chapter. I don’t know if the writer remembers writing this particular story, but then again, a lot of their fics seem to have similar problems.
SAMPLE:
Remus John Lupin-Potter sobbed heart brokenly, clutching the lifeless corpse of his husband James Potter. He felt ill with grief as he stared into the dead and unseeing hazel eyes of James Potter. Eyes that in life was full of love and a warm mischievous sparkle and lust for life.
Not too far from where Remus kneeled now rocking with James in his arms was Sirius Black, sitting among the rubble that had once been Godric's Hollow. He held his wife, Lily Black, to him, his face buried in her vibrant auburn wavy haired, as he sobbed loudly, rocking backwards and forwards. He threw his head back and screamed in agony "LILY!"
Remus went suddenly ridged when he heard the faintest whimpering that soon become louder. Soon the whimpering turned into full out crying. Remus knew the sound of that crying, how could he not, it was the sound of his baby son. He sobbed this time in relief, as he gently lowered James's body onto the ground, before making his way slowly and carefully towards his and James's one year-old son.
He carefully moved some of the rubble aside until the scent of his son became overwhelmingly strong. He took in the smell of fear coming off of his little boy in waves. It was sickening to both he and the inner wolf in him. Their cub was in distress. The wolf roared at the injustice. His mate was dead and his cub had been hurt.
He carefully lifted the screaming toddler into his arms and cradled him. He carefully checked him for injuries, but found none, except for the scar on his fore head in the shape of a lightening bolt. Remus knew without a doubt that this scar was a cursed scar, from the results of dark magic done wrong.
He felt his heart skip a beat as he thought back to what the prophecy had said 'The dark Lord will mark the chosen one as his equal' Remus felt sick from sheer terror and rage. Voldemort, the murdering bastard had chosen his and James's son, and not the Longbottom's baby son.
He slowly walked back over to James's body, just as Albus Dumbledore followed by Minerva McGonagall arrived onto the scene. Minerva gasped and placed a hand over her mouth, as a look of grief over took her usually stern features.
