Story Idea Poll

I've kind of run into a wall with Dorm Party, so I've decided to move on for the time being. All of these story ideas are designed to be 5-10 chapters long at most. I went back to look at my old Story Ideas posts and these are my favorite ideas that I haven't started yet. These polls are a great way for me to gauge how much interest there is in certain ideas.  Vote for which ever stories you'd like to read, and feel free to give me feedback and criticism in the comments.

The Unfortunate Incident

5th year has been tough for Harry. Half the school thinks he's lying, Hermione wants him to start an illegal club to teach everyone Defense, and Neville won't shut up about the new plant Luna had gotten him for Christmas. Especially not since it had sprayed him with some kind of sap when he showed it to him.

Now, things are about to get even more interesting. Ever since then, girls have started taken an unnatural interest in him. It wasn't so bad at first, when it was girls like Lavender Brown and Susan Bones. But, when Millicent Bulstrode, Madam Pince, and even Delores Umbridge start making passes at him, he's ready to admit things have officially gotten out of hand.

Naturally, Harry goes to Hermione for help. Unfortunately, even she's affected, and more interested in what she can learn than finding a cure. And sure, it's fun, but he can't live the rest of his life shagging several girls a day while desperately trying to dodge the ones he finds less than desirable. Maybe he should ask Luna for help.

Just a fun little comedy/smut story idea. I wouldn't do any scenes with women like Umbridge, but I think it would be funny for Harry to have to constantly avoid her outside of class. Maybe I can even throw in a couple of the professors and Madam Rosmerta to spice things up. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Back to the Beginning

Aged up sixth year. While Harry is exploring the Room of Requirement, he discovers and accidentally breaks a Time-Turner, sending him back to the time of the Founders. Nothing is like what he expected. Gryffindor is a loud, obnoxious ass. Ravenclaw is cold and calculating. Hufflepuff is kind, but runs a school brothel. And Harry finds a friend and mentor in Salazar Slytherin?

I've mentioned Ravenclaws Coven in Dorm Party, and I thought of this as an opportunity to explore the origins of that. Harry, as a mysterious figure from the future, is of a lot of interest to the founders and the students. Ravenclaw wants him to help produce powerful children that will benefit the magical world for generations to come. Hufflepuff sees him as a broken soul she needs to heal through love. Gryffindor's daughters are fascinated by his tales of heroism. And the Slytherin witches see him as the future of their world, and want to solidify a connection with him.

Can Harry find a way back home before he changes too much?

A Little on the Side (Working Title)

A couple of years after graduating Hogwarts, Harry is working as an Auror and Hermione is a junior researcher in the DoM. Occupied with their careers and still healing from the scars left by the war, neither is in a relationship. After an accident at work, Hermione is injured and forced to spent a month recovering. Harry offers to help, and moves in with her to take care of her needs while she heals.

They're only living together for a couple of days when Hermione makes a startling confession. Since work at the Ministry doesn't pay much, and she needed money to fund the bills she'd put forth in the Wizengamot, Hermione has been offering her services as a dominatrix to other women. Now that she's injured, she asks Harry to step in for her so she doesn't lose her clients.

Possible characters to involve; Susan Bones, Lilith Moon, Apolline Delacour, Daphne Greengrass, and Lavender Brown. If you have other witches or specific scenes, feel free to let me know in the comments. Or a better idea for a title.

Lucinda's

A few years after Hogwarts, Hermione and Ron get divorced. A few days after the papers are signed, Hermione overhears a couple of her co workers at the Ministry talking about.

"Granger's such a ball breaker, I'm not surprised they got divorced."

"Weasley said she was pretty boring in bed."

"She's hot, though. Did you see those pictures he sold to Lucinda's?"

Furious, Hermione leaves and Apparates straight to Lucinda's, a shop in Diagon Alley specializing in adult material. Striding into the store, she ignores the posters of barely dressed witches and wizards waving at her, and the phalic shaped objects littering the shelves, and strides to the counter. She stops in front of a tall, beautiful brunette wearing a tight leather corset and skirt, prominently displaying her hourglass figure.

When Hermione demands to know what pictures her ex-husband had sold, she's told that Harry already requested they be taken down. Quickly, she learns that Harry is a regular customer there, though Lucinda refuses to give her any specifics, and that her husband had sold the pictures for 500 Galleons. Lucinda explains that men often bring in pictures of their wives and post them as a way of showing off. The shop keeper hadn't known that Hermione and Ron had divorced, or she never would've allowed the pictures to be posted. Hermione leaves the shop feeling mixed emotion. She wondered why Harry would regularly go to that kind of shop, and what the hell Ron was thinking.

Hermione goes on to confront Ron, learning that he's back to his old habits of betting money he can't afford to lose on Quidditch. After threatening to castrate him if he ever sells pictures of her again, she leaves to talk to Harry. He explains that he still has PTSD from the war, and goes to Lucinda's to unwind. Hermione begs for details, but he refuses to give them to her, saying that she wouldn't understand.

Over the next few days, Hermione's curiosity eats away at her until she decides to go back to the shop. She wants to know what Harry is doing, both because she's worried about him, and disturbingly, the thoughts running through her head arose her.

So, essentially, this story focuses on Hermione and her sexual awakening after a bitter divorce. She'd go on to follow Harry and befriend Lucinda, eventually watching him in the midst of numerous sexual acts with a variety of women. Right now, I'm working out exactly what those acts would be , who they would be with, and how Hermione will eventually get involved. I'd appreciate some feed back on this one.

From the Ashes

Harry/Bellatrix

After the Battle of Hogwarts, Bellatrix is found alive, but severely injured. While her injuries aren't life threatening, she has no memory of who she is. Due to a few old laws, she can't be held responsible for crimes she can't remember. Unable to be prosecuted, and still considered too dangerous to be released on her own, the Wizengamot asks Harry to look after her. He initially refuses, but when he moves in to live with Andromeda to help take care of Teddy, she eventually convinces him to help he sister.

With no memories of her terrible past, Andromeda uses the opportunity to help Bellatrix become the witch she would've been without Voldemort's influence. Even though she grows to be a much kinder, gentler woman, she still keeps the core parts of her personality. Namely her obsessive tendencies and her willingness to take what she wants. A relationship that starts with Bellatrix sneaking into Harry's room and riding him for all she's worth quickly grows into something much more meaningful.

When Bellatrix starts to learn about her old life through her dreams, will she fall back into her old ways, or will she embrace her new life?

A more serious story, but potentially interesting.
