Xandrel's Potterverse AUs

The Dark One - HP / Matrix crossover

When Lord Voldemort casts the Killing Curse at baby Harry, it rebounds as in canon and destroys the Dark Lord's body.

However, he does not immediately return to the world of the living.

Instead, he is trapped between life and death for a long time.

To him only seconds passed since the destruction of his body, but in reality many decades have passed.

Upon finally appearing as a shade, Voldemort sees before him nothing but rubble.

His shock and fury caused by his failure to kill Harry are somewhat tempered by what he sees as he explores the land.

Not only he sees that there is very little to no plant life, but the sky is covered in dark, thunderous clouds.

The muggle cities he sees are in ruins, as if destroyed by some kind of apocalyptic wars.

Eventually he approaches a field of some kind, but it is a field unlike he has ever seen.

Hundreds of thousands of pods with human beings sleeping in them.

The humans, Voldemort notices, are floating in some kind of pink liquid and have many cables connected to their bodies.

Assuming these are muggles, he attempts to possess one of them for information.

As he does so, he suddenly finds himself in a completely different place.

At a table in a muggle restaurant, with a woman sitting before him.

He looks around and sees a reflection in the mirror, recognizing the man he possessed.

Meanwhile his Occlumency abilities allow him to realize that what he sees is no more than a very convincing and powerful illusion.

He attempts to learn some more about this place, but he is interrupted by a muggle who looks like a government agent.

One thing leads to another and after a brief struggle the Agent kills Voldemort's host and the Dark Lord finds himself back in the field with pods.

And so begins the Dark Lord's quest to learn what happened to humanity, both muggle and wizard.

Some ideas:

- Neo is actually a wizard, that's why he can do all sorts of cool stuff. It would also explain how he was able to use his abilities outside of the Matrix.
- While Voldemort's Horcruxes are no doubt still existing somewhere, the wizarding world is long gone. He would most likely never get a new body, let alone a wand.
- Because Voldemort is able to do what he does, programs like Agent Smith cannot assimilate him.

Harry vs. the Forces of Evil

or

Star Butterfly and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter / Star vs. The Forces of Evil crossover


Summary: Despite how much he loved it, Hogwarts was always strange to Harry. But this year it's about to get a little weird. ​


In the royal kingdom of Mewni, Princess Star Butterfly receives the royal magic wand from her parents, the king and queen. She is told that the wand is very powerful and a big responsibility and must be kept out of the hands of evil force. Star assures her mother that she can handle it.

Unfortunately, she manages to set the kingdom on fire with it under a day.

To teach her a lesson and to make sure she learns to control the wand somewhere else the king and queen decide to send Star away. It is decided Star will be sent to Earth and be tutored by the wizards and witches from its dimension.

They take their dimensional scissiors, cut open a portal to Earth and arrive at the gates of castle Hogwarts.

The king and queen speak to Headmaster Dumbledore and explain to him that they come from a different reality, that their daughter must learn responsibility and control. Dumbledore is generous enough to allow Star to attend the classes, though after he sees the type of spells she can use he notes that the magic he is familiar with is different.

Since Star is fourteen years old, it is decided she will attend classes with fourth year students after she will be sorted with all the new students at the beginning of the year.

Coincidentally, Hogwarts is to be host this year to an extraordinary event: the Triwizard Tournament.

Meanwhile, the monsters of Mewni led by Ludo who wishes to acquire Star's powerful wand learn that Star is now hiding on Earth among many wizards. They decide to investigate this dimension and find a way to steal the wand. To do this they create a temporary base in the Forbidden Forest.

At the beginning of the school year Star is sorted with the other students and goes to Gryffindor, being a brave princess and all.

Eventually the plot would somehow involve Ludo and Toffee learning about Voldemort and Death Eaters as well as acquiring allies among magical creatures (especially goblins) which have been kept down by wizards.

Also, it'd be pretty funny to see Star be mocked by Draco Malfoy only to shout "MEGA NARWHAL BLAST!"

Reverse Potter

Alternate Universe in which personalities and back stories of various characters have been switched.

Below is a list of the more important characters which have been affected.

​

Albus Dumbledore - Gellert Grindelwald

Albus was expelled from Hogwarts for performing dark magic. He attempted to convince Grindelwald to conquer the world but was ultimately defeated and put in Azkaban. Grindelwald now is the Headmaster of Durmstrang while Dumbledore's brother Aberforth is the Headmaster of Hogwarts.



Harry Potter - Diary Tom Marvolo Riddle

Tom Marvolo Riddle was a kind-hearted and friendly student with an unusual amount of magical talent. After noticing the boy's abilities Dumbledore attempted to recruit him, but Tom rejected the offer. Albus then used a dark ritual to split Tom's soul in two and sealed away the piece with Tom's humanity in a simple diary and hid the object somewhere in Hogwarts. Without his humanity Tom became Lord Voldemort, an emotionless monster completely devoted to Dumbledore's vision of world domination.

After Dumbledore was defeated by Grindelwald Voldemort continued the war for many decades until he heard a prophecy about a Chosen One destined to vanquish him. He discovered it to be a recently born boy named Harry Potter. The Dark Lord then attacked the Potters and attempted to kill the child. However, Harry's mother Lily sacrificed herself which caused Voldemort's curse to rebound and destroy the monster instead. With his parents dead and no living relatives, Harry was put in a muggle orphanage.

The boy's childhood was not a good one, although the worst thing about the orphanage was Harry himself. Perhaps it was the influence of the killing curse, perhaps he was always meant to be that way. He bullied other children, stole from them, hurt their pets and frequently used his developing magical abilities to manipulate people around him. In short, Harry was growing up to be a monster himself. Only after Headmaster Aberforth reintroduced Harry to the wizarding world did the boy learn to mask his true self. Hogwarts would have to prepare for Harry Potter, because he had grand plans for it.

Meanwhile in the Room of Requirement, a lonely boy was trapped in a diary.



Arthur, Molly - Lucius, Narcissa

The Weasleys are an influential and wealthy family of pureblood supremacists who despise muggleborns and muggles. Arthur was a Death Eater during Voldemort's long war of conquest. However, he evaded justice by claiming to have been under the influence of the Imperius curse. Molly is a cold and cruel woman though she genuinely loves her children and would do anything for them. All of the Weasley children are spoiled rotten.

The Malfoys are not as poor as canon Weasleys, having managed to save money due to only having one child. However, Lucius still has to work in the Ministry in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office chosen mostly due to his fascination with muggles and their inventions. Narcissa is a kind-hearted and warm mother and made sure that Draco would grow up to be a good man in the future.



Ron - Draco

Ron Weasley is a selfish, spoiled brat and the youngest son of the wealthy Weasley family. Like his parents and siblings Ron supports pureblood supremacy and despises those he views as being of inferior blood status. He always tries to intimidate others to get his way and threatens other children with his father.

Draco Malfoy however is a much better boy, a little insecure but always ready to defend those he sees as oppressed and always ready to share whatever he has even if sometimes that's very little. Having been raised in a household where money was sometimes a problem, Draco grew to be very modest though sometimes jealous of others.



Fred and George - Umbridge

In this world, Dolores Umbridge is a mischievous but very fun old lady who owns a famous joke shop in Diagon Alley.

The Weasley twins however, are creepy sadists, have aspirations for power in the Ministry of Magic and very few people in Hogwarts dare crossing them.



Percy - Lockhart

Unlike his more talented brothers, Percy never really focused on studying. Instead, he always wanted fame and fortune, even more than his wealthy family already provided him. In order to achieve this, he attempted many things. Quidditch, dueling, wizarding chess, all ended in failure. Until one day he discovered that he is really good at memory charms. A devious plan formed in his head as suddenly his dreams of fame could become a reality.

Gilderoy Lockhart was a very dedicated boy when he attended Hogwarts. He received the highest marks on his OWLs and NEWTs and after he graduated he immediately started working for the Ministry, quickly becoming a rising star. Eventually, his hard work and dedication was rewarded when he was elected the Minister for Magic.



Other possibilities:


Ginny - Pansy

Ginny would be this AU's Harry fangirl, though for different reasons. Same with Pansy being Draco's fangirl.


Hermione - Lavender

Lavender a bookworm know-it-all and Hermione the typical girly girl.


Neville - Zabini

Neville's mother is a black widow and had many husbands, while Zabini's parents are in St. Mungo's.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
It might best if everything isn't so obvious of a cut & paste swap. For example, the Weasleys are still poor, but fell under Voldemort's sway because they believe muggleborns are taking all the good jobs from 'real wizards'.

Neville's Grandmother is the black widow, and maybe she had something do to with her son and his wife ending up in St. Mungo's after they tried to cut her off financially. So she's raising a new, and more malleable heir...

Reality Wars​

The premise is that during Harry's 6th year the canon world is contacted by travelers from another reality. These wizards come from a world where Voldemort never existed which led to a safer and more peaceful wizarding society. Indirectly, this also led to the discovery of inter-dimensional travel.

The Department of Mysteries from the other dimension makes contact with their counterparts in the Canon world and eventually with Minister Scrimgeour. The possible advantage of staying in contact with another reality proves too good to ignore and Rufus asks them for help in defeating the Dark Lord.

Unfortunately, Voldemort's spies also learn of this and inform their master. While at first reluctant, Scrimgeour informs Dumbledore as the idea of Voldemort getting his hands on inter-dimensional travel is horrifying.

As the Ministries of the two realities cooperate, one of the Unspeakables from the other reality is kidnapped by Death Eaters. He is taken to Voldemort and the Dark Lord eventually forces him to reveal how to open inter-dimensional gates.

Needless to say, this is a disaster as Voldemort opens up his own gate to another world, searching for allies. He discovers a reality where Gellert Grindelwald killed Dumbledore and took over the world. The two make a pact and plan to conquer every reality they find.

Thanks to Snape, Dumbledore finds out about this and so begins a race to discover more realities in search of allies.

Harry would of course feature prominently, him being a horcrux and the main hero.

Since Dumbledore only has a year to live, he would probably give as much information as he can to his counterpart from the No-Voldemort dimension and would have him mentor Harry.


If I were to write this, I'd make sure that the other realities aren't too similar to canon or to each other. For example, in the Grindelwald-Victory world, Tom Marvolo Riddle was born, but never became Voldemort and was eventually killed by Grindelwald's forces.

With such a premise, you'd be able to get away with any world you want. You can have Head Auror Gilderoy Lockhart answering to Minister for Magic Xenophilius Lovegood.

Mega Magic - Harry Potter / Wunschpunsch crossover​


There exists an ancient scroll on which a single spell is written. It cannot be copied to another scroll, it cannot be remembered and most curiously of all, it doesn't work if the person attempting to use it does not hold the scroll.

This spell is the spell of Mega Magic. Magic which affects a very large area, such as a city.

In order to use it, the witch or wizard in possession of the scroll must create a specific potion which shall grant the spell its desired nature. In this potion, items pertaining to the spell's nature must be dissolved.

Once that is done, the spell from the scroll must be cast by a wizard or a witch at the potion. Note that parts of the incantation change depending on the desired effect of the mega magical spell.

If everything is done properly, then the spell shall be activated immediately on the target area and will stay in a temporary state for the next seven hours.

During those seven hours, the spell can still be reversed. But after that, it becomes permanent. It will be impossible to remove using other spells, even those enhanced by mega magic. It will simply become a fact of life.

It is curious that the chaotic powers of the Bermuda Triangle refuse to be contained.

Mega Magic does have certain limits though. It cannot cause direct death, one cannot simply amplify the Killing Curse and eradicate entire cities. Spells like the Imperius Curse or the Cruciatus will also fail to be amplified.

There was once a time when Dementors did not exist.

***

The date is December 31st, 1989. The location is Munich, Germany.

It has been eight years since the downfall of Lord Voldemort.

It has been a year since Barty Crouch Jr. overcame his father's Imperius and escaped Britain searching for the Dark Lord.

Barty sits alone in a tavern in the magical part of the city. As the clock on the wall strikes 5 pm, there is a great, green flash of light above Munich.

Could it be the Dark Mark? The wizard is curious and goes outside. Several wizards on the street also notice the unusual light show on the sky.

It is clearly magical in nature, muggle fireworks cannot make green lightning bolts rage across the skies. And of course, muggle fireworks eventually stop while this show continues on with no signs of stopping.

His curiosity even higher, Barty investigates and travels around the town. He discovers that the muggles are incapable of seeing the lights, further proving that the effect must be magical in nature.

Eventually however, Barty finds the source of the show. An old dilapidated manor near the cemetery. The lightning bolts seem to bend towards its roof.

Barty, after making sure he isn't seen, comes to the manor and spies through the windows what is making such a powerful display.

He sees an old, balding wizard and an equally old, fat witch arguing over a bubbling, glowing, bright-green potion from which the occasional lightning bolt escapes.

Barty uses a simple eavesdropping charm to listen on to their conversation.

"...your fault! I concocted the potion exactly as it was written!"

"And I cast the spell as it was required! The entire town should be dead by now! Why wasn't the Killing Curse amplified?!"

"Why should I know, you stupid wench? The Scroll is said to make every spell greater!"

"Unless... not the Unforgivables?"

There is silence.

"Well. We can't cast another one for the next seven hours anyway. Our, ah, benefactor will be here soon though. You better come up with something."

At this point, Barty has heard enough. Somehow these two have found a way to make spells affect entire cities. This is an opportunity he cannot ignore and seconds later Barty is inside the manor.

The two are taken by surprise and fall to Barty's killing curse quickly.

Barty picks up the scroll and in an instant, it reveals its miraculous secrets to him. The instructions are difficult, but possible for a competent wizard like him.

Clearly, the Dark Lord will be proud of him after receiving such a powerful item.

Barty leaves Munich that night, the skies above it still raging with green lights.

**

May 5th, 1990. Knockturn Alley, London.

Five months and still no results.

The ingredients required for the potion are incredibly difficult to procure. Not only that, but they seem to change as does the method of adding them!

One ingredient changes depending on the brewer's favorite color, another one requires the brewer to be asleep when it is added.

However, Barty has other problems on his head as well. He was noticed once by an Auror and now, after his father was forced to admit Barty was rescued from Azkaban, the Aurors are searching for him.

Still, Barty is sure he can create the potion and then use the spell.

***

September 10th, 1991.

Hogsmeade.

The potion was ready, bubbling in the rented room above Three Broomsticks.

Now Barty only needed to speak with Lord Voldemort. He was tracking him while searching for the ingredients in Albania, but one day the Dark Lord simply vanished.

It was only later that Barty found out the true reason and the name Quirinus Quirrell.

Barty had sent an owl to Quirrell, describing himself in vague terms only the Dark Lord would understand. He received a reply with a command to remain in his room and wait.

And so Barty waited now, studying the Scroll once more.

What should they cast? A mass Obliviate? Or perhaps turn everyone into toads? Or maybe do something even powerful. After years of studying the mysterious scroll, Barty found out that it changes some of its contents, revealing even more dark secrets.

A knock on the door and a second later Barty is opening it only to face a loud "Stupefy" from one of the Aurors. He shields himself just in time only thanks to his superb skills.

The fighting breaks out just as Quirrell is entering the village and is noticed by Barty.

Knowing that the situation can be saved only one way, Barty takes the scroll and begins casting the mega magic.

As the incantation begins gathering power, the very ground of the village begins to shake. Dark clouds gather above it. Centaurs in the Forbidden Forest flee in terror.

Barty points his wand at the potion and finishes his spell with a loud Impedimenta!

The potion roars.

The aurors cast their stunners at Barty.

Time stops.

A student's quill at Hogwarts freezes in mid-air instead of hitting the floor.

A bird in the Forbidden Forest stops mid-flight.

People in the tavern below are like unmoving statues.

Time stands still.

Barty moves freely, the scroll still in his hand.

He notices Quirrell, also unmoving on the street before the Three Broomsticks.

Barty quickly reads through the scroll, looking for ways to reverse the spell until the seven hours pass and it becomes permanent.

The instruction isn't there. "Why isn't it here?!" he rages.

"Funny how that works, doesn't it?"

Barty turns around and sees a truly hideous creature.

Green skin, twin antennae on a bald head, muggle business suit.

"Maledictus Maggot, at your service, Mr. Crouch. I believe you have something that belongs to me."​

"Hmm," said a small voice in his ear. "Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind either. There's talent, A my goodness, yes — and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that's interesting… So where shall I put you?"

Harry gripped the edges of the stool and thought, [Slytherin!]

"Slytherin, eh?" said the small voice. "Yes, it's all here in your head. What will help you on the way to greatness is SLYTHERIN!"

The last word was shouted to the entire hall, which caused Slytherin's table to erupt with clapping noise, though there was also a decent amount of murmurs and whispers around the hall.

And so on, you get the idea ;)​
 
Here's something new. An alternate universe created by mistyping two key words. I'll probably do more in the future.


Mistyped Challenge #1​


It is the year 1991 and Wizarding Britain is still recovering from the terrible civil war which ended nearly a decade ago.

It all started when the powerful Drak Lord, also known as the King of Dragons and his loyal supporters have begun a violent campaign to take over the nation. Using fiendfyre, an army of dragons and the mysterious Heliopaths the Drak Lord caused countless deaths, significant damage to the land and almost broke the Statute of Secrecy.

In 1980 the Drak Lord learned of a prophecy which heralded the arrival of a Chosen One which would defeat him. Wanting to prevent this, he ordered his supporters to kill every child born at the end of July, which is when the supposed Chosen Was was to be born. They sent out dragons to make sure the children would be consumed by flames.

Dragons, being ruthless and bloodthirsty creatures obeyed without question and attacked house after house killing children from known families such as Longbottoms.

However, at one house it all changed. When a dragon arrived at the house of the Potter family, intending to burn the baby Harry Potter something went wrong. Perhaps it was some unknown magic, or maybe the powers of fate itself have decided to intervene, but instead of murdering the child the dragon lied down before it in submission.

Soon other dragons came, as if called by a sound only heard by them and abandoned the Drak Lord in favor of the boy. Furious at this betrayal, the Drak Lord himself came to the house with many Heliopaths and attempted to kill the child. And that's where it all ended because even with his power, the King of Dragons had no dragons left while Harry Potter had all of them. Soon the forces of the Ministry of Magic arrived as well and the Drak Lord's forces were defeated while he fled into hiding.

After that day, Harry Potter was declared the Boy Who Loved Dragons which now came to be friendly allies of the people instead of the violent beasts they were under their former master.

But evil never sleeps and a decade later there are again signs that the Drak Lord may return...
 
What if there was a Harry Potter / Power Rangers fusion?​

How would one even go about making it? What would be the goddamn point?

Well, here's one idea.

Instead of Rangers, there are Wizards. To make them superheroes protecting muggles, there would have to be no Statute of Secrecy. To make that happen, I propose sending a group of magical people to an alternative universe in which there is no magic. They'd be the only magicals there.

Of course, them just being in a world full of muggles doesn't mean they'd be willing to become heroes. We need a villain, clearly.

As we're talking about Harry Potter here, then the obvious villain is Lord Voldemort (Zedd was a Lord too, so it even fits). We'll give him Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange to act as his Rita and Goldar.

Now for the Rangers/Wizards and their Zordon. The Zordon replacement needs to be be wise, but unable to fight on his own. I say that after Dumbledore dies he leaves a ghost. I know this is a little implausible because Dumbledore isn't the type to be afraid of "passing on", but we are talking about Power Rangers here, a little suspension of disbelief may be required.

For the Rangers/Wizards I propose Harry Potter (Red Wizard), Cho Chang (Blue Wizard), Cedric Diggory (Yellow Wizard), Nymphadora Tonks (Pink Wizard) and Blaise Zabini (Green Wizard). Following Power Rangers lore a little bit here, Blaise would obviously be evil at first before joining the good guys.

This is as far as I got with this before it became too silly even for me. ;)
 
A Harry Potter / They Live crossover would be interesting.​

In They Live earth has been infiltrated by aliens from the Andromeda galaxy. The aliens use special holographic technology to pose as humans and have gained positions in human governments.

They have also used their semi-hypnosis technology to place hidden subliminal messages all across the media to make humans into ignorant slaves.

The aliens wish to transform Earth's climate to one resembling their home world by speeding up global warming using carbon emissions.

I'm curious how would their infiltration affect the wizarding world and if they would even be noticed.

And if wizards noticed these aliens, would the do anything? On one hand the Andromedans pose a threat to all humans but on the other hand they are non-magical and therefore the muggles should deal with them.

Another take on the crossover would be making the Andromedans themselves magical and their illusions and subliminal messages are actually advanced charms/spells designed to take over Earth.

The human magical world is infiltrated as well with even the British Ministry being infiltrated by hidden aliens.

Then one day someone discovers the truth and decides to expose the aliens, but finds it difficult as they have the Aurors under their rule.

Maybe it could be Harry or at least someone from the Order? In fact, if the Ministry is infiltrated by aliens and the Aurors cannot be trusted then the only other ally would be Voldemort.

Sure, the Dark Lord wants to get rid of muggleborns, but I doubt he'd be happy with ALL humans becoming stupid slaves, since that would include him and the pure-blooded wizards.
 
Living like Merlin.​


What if you woke up tomorrow and found out that it is not in fact tomorrow, but yesterday?

The premise is that for some unexplained reason Harry starts living days backwards. Time flows normally during them, but once 24 hours pass he finds himself waking up a day earlier.

He wakes up in his own younger body exactly where he originally woke up during those days. So if on August 31st he was sleeping at the Dursleys then that's where he'll wake up regardless where he is before the daily switch.

I'm thinking that the best time for this to activate is during his final confrontation with Voldemort. Perhaps after Harry speaks with Dumbledore in the ethereal King's Cross he comes back to the day before the Battle of Hogwarts.

He then fights the battle again and eventually wakes up even earlier. And earlier, and earlier and earlier...


Some more thoughts:

1. While dying of old age will no longer be a threat to Harry, the threat of un-birthing will once he reaches the day of his birth. Of course, something else entirely may happen once he reaches that point, but he doesn't know that.

2. With each day going backwards Harry will become smarter and more knowledgeable compared to his classmates. This is basically a Peggy Sue premise except that he physically goes through all the years backwards.

3. There is no reason for him to acquire anything physical since it will be gone the next time he wakes up. Also no reason to write anything down. He'll have to memorize everything.

4. I am unsure if Voldemort's Horcrux in Harry still should be present. If it's gone then so is Harry's connection to Voldemort but also gone is his Parseltongue ability.
 
We Are Number One but it's a crossover with Harry Potter.
​

Malfoy Manor was deathly silent. Though the dining room was full of Death Eaters, none dared to make a sound when their master was speaking with someone.

And it was a really strange guest. Tall and lanky, with a very large chin and hair greased back with a slight pompadour. He wore a two-piece suit with thick purple and maroon stripes, with thin gold stripes between those. Under the suit he had a long-sleeved blue shirt with white cuffs.

Normally, such a person would not be seen in the house of a proud pure-blood family like the Malfoys. But this was no simple muggle, that was clear after a simple demonstration.

Robert Rotten could change his appearance in an instant, a clear sign of metamorphmagic. He could also apparate at will without having a wand on him.

But his motivations were suspicious.

"I wish for the people of the world, especially children, to be lazy, useless, weak." He said.

Lord Voldemort cocked his head at that. "Interesting, Rotten. Why would you seek out such an outcome?"

Robert simply grinned and winked.

"Let's just say that I'm interested in villainy for villainy's sake." He replied, though the gathered in the room were unsure if he meant it seriously.

The Dark Lord smiled and asked "how would you be able to aid us in our cause?"

It seemed Rotten was waiting for just this question as he reached into a small pocket in his jacked and pulled out a full-sized saxophone from it.

He threw it in the air and it remained there unaided before playing on its own a cheerful tune.

"Here's a little lesson in trickery, this is going down in history. If you want to be a Dark Lord number one, you have to kill the Potter child on the run..."

*​

The man in blue was impossibly fast. A few days ago he arrived with a girl in pink at the Burrow unannounced. Initially Harry and others were surprised that someone so clearly muggle would approach the Weasley household. However, as it quickly proved the two were not simple muggles.

Right now Sportacus (as that was the man's name) was avoiding Harry and Ron's spells with ease by simply dodging and running really fast. In fact, he had managed to somehow run up and swiftly snatch Harry's wand from his hand before doing exactly the same to Ron.

"I hear you are a sportsman yourself, Harry. A good Quidditch player, quite impressive. However, to defeat Lord Voldemort you will have to put aside things like treacle tarts and instead eat sports candy like this one." Said Sportacus and threw an apple to Harry who caught it and looked at it with mild disbelief. Ron just shook his head, muttering something about the man's character being too similar to Oliver Wood.
 
So I was trying to come up with an Au where a character from the books is the HP-verse's equivalent of Donald Trump. ​

Said person would (of course) vow to Make Wizarding Britain Great Again and run for the position of Minister for Magic while displaying very controversial views.

I've come up with two candidates, but I encourage others to come up with theirs:

Candidate #1: Gilderoy Lockhart - Runs for Minister in 1992 instead of applying for the Defense position. Uses his fame and legions of fans to boost his chances.

His campaign is strongly against dark creatures like vampires and werewolves and he promises to enact stricter laws regarding them, possibly even banning some from Britain outright.

Due to this, Gilderoy attracts the support of Dolores Umbridge as well as several other less-reputable wizards.

Candidate #2: Lucius Malfoy - After learning of more and more rumors of Voldemort still being alive in Albania, Lucius decides to prepare for his master's inevitable return. He runs for the Minister for Magic in 1991 just as his son begins Hogwarts.

Lucius' campaign is heavily focused on education and the future of wizarding youth. He vows to Make Hogwarts Great Again just as it was during the time of the Founders or Merlin. He proposes banning Muggle Studies for being unnecessary, wants to expand Defense Against the Dark arts to include more advanced and dangerous magics and intends to return Alchemy to the curriculum.

And, of course, Lucius suggests that Muggleborn students should perhaps be put in separate classes from "regular magical children" so that they don't "slow them down".​
 
Chamber of Secrets Divergence

I like points of divergence that are plausible and could have realistically happened.

I'd like to examine what would have happened if the Malfoys did not encounter Harry, Weasleys and Grangers in Flourish and Blotts in Chamber of Secrets.

The POD will be having the Malfoys going shopping a day earlier and as such they do not encounter Harry and his friends.

We know from Dobby's warning to Harry at the beginning of the book that Lucius planned to use the Diary anyway. The meeting in the book store was simply a fortunate chance encounter.

But how did he plan to do it? My guess is that he planned to use Dobby actually, that would explain the elf's knowledge about the whole plan. Perhaps Lucius planned to command him to give the diary to one of the Weasleys on the train.

If so, then without the meeting in the bookstore the original plan is still on the table. In fact, Lucius might give Dobby more commands to prevent the elf from warning anyone. This would affect Dobby's behavior and attempts to save Harry.

In fact, it will prevent him from stopping Harry and Ron on King's Cross as he will be busy with trying to give the diary to Ginny. Now, in canon Ginny was given the diary several weeks before school started and she was already writing in it and giving Riddle her life force. This means that if she would be given it on the train, the whole possession process would be delayed.

Immediately, this new scenario gives us a few changes:

1. Harry and Ron get on the train in time and have no reason to take Arthur's car. This also means no crashing into an angry tree, no detention and it also means Ron's wand is not broken (which itself creates various new changes). No detention also means that Ron won't find out that Riddle received a special award from the school.

2. Different people would be attacked by the basilisk due to different random encounters.

3. Instead of being petrified, some people could actually die. It was unusual luck that in canon each victim did not look directly in the monster's eyes.

I don't remember exactly how many weeks before school did the trip to Diagon happened, but for the sake of the discussion I'm gonna say 3 weeks. That means that with the new scenario the first attack will happen 3 weeks after Halloween, November 21st.

So until then, we can assume school life will go on normally with Harry, Ron and Hermione attending classes with the only unusual things being Malfoy getting on the Slytherin team after Lucius buys them brooms and Nick's Deathday Party on Halloween. Ron will most likely do better in classes with his wand being intact.

Lockhart's classes are of course a complete joke. Cornish Pixies most definitely happen as in canon.

Eventually though November 21st arrives and as in canon, the first event will simply be a warning saying the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Mrs. Norris is unlikely to be petrified this time as she'll most likely be in another part of the castle.

Since we obviously can't predict who it would be, we might as well pick someone at random. Given that the basilisk is unlikely to attack a pure-blood, we can safely pick a muggleborn or a half-blood. I'm thinking Colin Creevey works, despite being also a victim in canon. He's likely to explore the castle with his camera so it is plausible that he would encounter the basilisk.

So Colin sees lots of water on the floor, decides to take a picture and encounters the basilisk and is petrified.

From there the plot finally starts. More attacks will end up happening, Ginny will kill Hagrid's roosters, Harry will start hearing voices in the walls. We can't predict if Lockhart will start the Dueling Club again, but it is likely.

However, what is unlikely is Harry and Draco dueling again in the exact same way. Them dueling is plausible given their mutual dislike and Snape's interference, but it's possible that Draco won't summon a snake.

This could lead to Harry's ability to use parseltongue remaining a secret and it could prevent the rumors that he's the Heir of Slytherin.

The trio's plan to use Polyjuice Potion to check if Draco is the Heir is likely to happen, but will of course end up happening later. It's possible that this time Hermione won't make a mistake with the hair and will not turn into a cat. If that's the case then the plan will go differently as she may ask Draco different questions than Ron and Harry did in canon.

Of course, it is also possible that Hermione will end up petrified or killed before that.

Further than what I wrote it's hard to predict what will realistically happen. We can't know for sure if Ginny will try to get rid of the diary and if Harry will find it, we also can't know if Harry will go to the Forbidden Forest.

Most likely scenario is that Riddle will eventually take Ginny down to the chamber for a final time to try and return to full power. It is uncertain if our heroes would figure out that that the monster is a basilisk and where is the chamber of secrets.

Dumbledore is likely to be removed from the school in this version too, but will eventually return if Harry and his friends save the day.

The curse on the Defense position means that Lockhart will be involved in some way that will remove him from school, perhaps in this version he manages to escape before Harry and Ron stop him. If that's the case then he'll still be with his mind intact and will continue to steal people's accomplishments around the world.

All in all, predicting things is hard the more time passes from the initial POD, heh.​
