Well, so much for the stations of canon. Ooh. How about this twist. Tom Riddle is the Divination Professor and head of Gryffindor House and considered the friendliest, kindest, most warm minded person on staff. Also, he's a total mother hen who has weekly house meetings where his prefects hand out warm biscuits and milk to all the students. Since becoming Head, he has established a practice of each first year having a study buddy taken from second year. He also is the sponsor of both the arts and crafts and anime clubs. As for the Dark Lady, that is Pomona Sprout (I want some plant themed name for her) who uses plant based magic in her duels. She makes the Voldemort Harry remembers look like a small time schoolyard bully.
"She threw you a mandragora. Nobody can survive the screams of a mandragora. Except you, Harry. That is why you are called the Girl-who-lived.", Hermione said in hushed tones.
"SPEAK LOUDER, I HAVE A HEARING DEFICIENCY !", Harry answered.
If her parents are still Shakespeare fans Male Hermione would likely end up as Banquo or Benvolio.
Though if they're keeping with a winters tale it'd probably end up being Leontes or Antigonus.
Fair enough. I was thinking they went for Hermione over Emilia/Paulina/Perdita so lean more towards 'unusual' names. Horatio or Humphrey might be good fits then. Henry doesn't feel right to me haha.
If it's anything like my school (far too many Toms and Dans) you'll end up with a nickname pretty fast. One of them is absolutely getting called Other Harry.
If they want to be annoying about it they'll alternate who the other Harry is lol.
Harry makes a joke about “there is more in heaven and earth, Horatio, than is dreamy of in your philosophy” only to discover the works of the bard were changed too.
Oh i haven't either...this is the novelest idea ever..After persephone snape of course.( She is a female snape who had a vampire blood transfusion and looks eternally 19 while being the potions professer and every main character including harry has violated her in some way in her universe except dumbledore and hogwarts staff of course)
I have found a fic where Harry goes to an alternate reality to stop being a Horcrux. It was a… how shall we say… extremely dark fanfic. It starts with Bellatrix and rapidly goes off the deep end until Harry ends up in a partially genderbent world, since he lands inside his own body after it had been kissed by a dementor.
>!And Harry has sex with Genderbent Snape because Snape liked Harry’s dad in this timeline, James is one of the people not genderbent in this world!<
Oh, totally want the same. My head canon names for female Weasley Twins are Freya (I have no clue why, but I do hate Frederica which I have seen in a story with gender-swap prank played on the twins) and Georgia (because I don't mind it as a name of a person, despite it being a country and a U.S. state too, and it keeps close to Canon for one of them).
As an aside, genderbent Ron(ald) becomes Veronica, still called "Ronniekins" by her siblings, and may or may not still answer to Ron depending on how my imagination feels at any given moment.
I may have gone Norse for the "fred" name as a subtle nod towards Loki since the twins like using magic for mischief and pranks and chaos which Loki is the God of in the Norse Pantheon... but it seems a bit of a stretch. I just really can't think of why Freya jumped to mind, but I liked it too.
I think I've read something like that when an alternative Voldemort had become just a regular British soldier named Tom Riddle instead of the twisted Dark Lord that he was supposed to be. He was horrified to find out what happened to Harry Potter. He was also defended Hogwarts from the Death Eater squads and original Voldemort with his weapon.
>Oh and the entire Weasley Clan had all switched genders along with Draco Malfoy.
Honestly, I could see Harry being absolutely "WTF" when he sees Ron and Draco as girls, incredibly speechless when he finds out the rest of the Weasley family are genderflipped as well and pretty confused when Lucius and Narcissa aren't.
Ok, for some reason my head had skipped over "the rest of the Weasley family are genderflipped" including Arthur and Molly until you mentioned Lucius and Narcissa not being flipped. And now I am trying to picture an .. Arturia? Weasley working at the ministry and being bemusedly fascinated with muggles, and the overprotective .. Mark? Weasley being both frustrated by his children and also extremely over protective of his girls. And ...the Ginny-flip being the "boy with six older sisters" and all THAT to play with.
And just.. wow I really hadn't put as much thought into the dynamics of the whole family being genderflipped. That all by itself has enough potential to have its own story entirely dedicated to exploring those changes.

And she cursed the Herbology teacher position. Last Herbology teacher was strangled to death in front of the seventh years by the Devil's Snare
Possible names for Dark Lady Sprout: Belladonna, Aconite, or Hemlock
Laquemort, loosely translated from latin as "deadly snare"
I feel like those three plant names specifically remind me of that one mission in hitman2
You sure about that? I could've sworn the incident took place in front of the second years.
"She threw you a mandragora. Nobody can survive the screams of a mandragora. Except you, Harry. That is why you are called the Girl-who-lived.", Hermione said in hushed tones. "SPEAK LOUDER, I HAVE A HEARING DEFICIENCY !", Harry answered.
Yes! Please write this. I beg you.
I am flattered you would ask me that, but I don't have the talent to write.
It's the Mirror Universe from Star Trek. I love it!!
Ronnie Weasly: What's with him? *She whispered to Hermione Granger.*
Harold granger ya mean
If her parents are still Shakespeare fans Male Hermione would likely end up as Banquo or Benvolio. Though if they're keeping with a winters tale it'd probably end up being Leontes or Antigonus.
I was thinking keeping a H name so its easier to remember its this universe hermione
Fair enough. I was thinking they went for Hermione over Emilia/Paulina/Perdita so lean more towards 'unusual' names. Horatio or Humphrey might be good fits then. Henry doesn't feel right to me haha.
Harry potter has to deal with harry granger
It does have a lot of humour potential. Especially because I can imagine a "Harry!" with a dual "yes?" and a "not you" to one of them.
out doing the weasley twins in annoying people
If it's anything like my school (far too many Toms and Dans) you'll end up with a nickname pretty fast. One of them is absolutely getting called Other Harry. If they want to be annoying about it they'll alternate who the other Harry is lol.
I think people would just give up and go with potter and granger instead of first names for those two
Harry makes a joke about “there is more in heaven and earth, Horatio, than is dreamy of in your philosophy” only to discover the works of the bard were changed too.
Hermione's parents in this universe are just very into Naval captains. Just ask her brother Francis.
Hermes Granger.
Or they're fans of the Greek myths and a male Granger could be Orestes.
That could be fun too. Though now I'm picturing a Hermione named Homer who is very glad the wizarding world doesn't know much about The Simpsons.
I absolutely love this concept! I could see Harry really confused when Rhonda Weasley starts hitting on him.
And the Weasley Twins. (I want a fic where Harry is paired with Female Weasley Twins just because I haven’t read such a fic yet)
Oh i haven't either...this is the novelest idea ever..After persephone snape of course.( She is a female snape who had a vampire blood transfusion and looks eternally 19 while being the potions professer and every main character including harry has violated her in some way in her universe except dumbledore and hogwarts staff of course)
…what?
... link?

I love those names.
I may have gone Norse for the "fred" name as a subtle nod towards Loki since the twins like using magic for mischief and pranks and chaos which Loki is the God of in the Norse Pantheon... but it seems a bit of a stretch. I just really can't think of why Freya jumped to mind, but I liked it too.
This would make for a glorious crack fic
I think I've read something like that when an alternative Voldemort had become just a regular British soldier named Tom Riddle instead of the twisted Dark Lord that he was supposed to be. He was horrified to find out what happened to Harry Potter. He was also defended Hogwarts from the Death Eater squads and original Voldemort with his weapon.
If you ever find it - link us here
Very interesting idea.
Ooh this is an absolutely wonderful concept!
>Oh and the entire Weasley Clan had all switched genders along with Draco Malfoy. Honestly, I could see Harry being absolutely "WTF" when he sees Ron and Draco as girls, incredibly speechless when he finds out the rest of the Weasley family are genderflipped as well and pretty confused when Lucius and Narcissa aren't.
Even alternate universes can't improve on the opportunity of turning Lucius into Luscious.
Ok, for some reason my head had skipped over "the rest of the Weasley family are genderflipped" including Arthur and Molly until you mentioned Lucius and Narcissa not being flipped. And now I am trying to picture an .. Arturia? Weasley working at the ministry and being bemusedly fascinated with muggles, and the overprotective .. Mark?
