some harry potter fics ideas

Just scribbles of some ideas I want to play with. If you know of any fics that cover some of these ideas please give me the link, I would be very glad to read them. 

And yes, I dote on the Blacks and the Slytherins. 

Sirius centric time travel fix-it. 

Sirius falls through the veil and he finds himself back in time, before Hogwarts. Maybe he still gets sorted into Gryffindor, maybe he doesn’t.

Betrayal and Azkaban has definitely warped him. Maybe he’s stuck in the explosively petulant schoolboy stage as everyone assumes; or he’s learnt something from prison.

Maybe he’s afraid to go through everything again, as much as he is glad to have another chance. Maybe he’ll finally pause and look and see his little brother. 

Maybe he’ll end up in Slytherin, scowling at his own housemates but starting to understand. Maybe he’ll grow up to be the adult he never could be, learn to forgive. To give and be given second chances. To heal and become. 

Sirius in Azkaban 

Where he learns a trick or few from his mentally unstable cellmates, namely unhealthy coping methods and tics. Panic attacks. Flashback. The trance-like feel of derealization. 

Sirius slowly enclosing himself in his own mind and yet, learning to adapt his broken psyche into a somewhat functional insanity. Magic keeping him alive, but dead in his mind. A decade of stasis, thinking of everything he let down and lost: James, Remus, Lily, and Harry, and... and then a glimpse of a newspaper. A definite goal. Something he can finally do.

Regulus centric fic. 

The Little King, the Heart of the Lion. His hopes, his dreams, his virtues. 

The spare. His older brother(the heir) abandoning him over and over again. His parents’ expectations (or the lack of, more like) like shackles, weighing him down. Friends, can he truly trust them? Anyone? 

His regrets, his fears and his fury. If he survived the Inferi, if he stayed a coward than live up to his namesake. If he could ever forgive his family, if he could ever forge a life worth living for. 

Black family dynamics. 

Sirius and Regulus, yes, but also Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa. Three sisters of different interests. Bellatrix and her infatuation with the Dark Lord. Andromeda Black and her quiet rebellion, her Perseus. Narcissa and her beloved, must-be-protected family. Why do I keep getting the impression that Narcissa held the sisters together until she couldn’t? 

Why Orion and Walburga are married when they are both Blacks and there should not be any merits, or was there? Walburga’s brothers, Alphard and Cygnus. Their father, Pollux was thirteen when he fathered Walburga, and Cygnus is thirteen when he fathers Bella: what happened here? 

Albus Dumbledore and his life choices, good and bad.

Familial relationships with Kendra, Aberforth and, Ariana. Relations with Gellert Grindelwald. The shame, the guilt. For the Greater Good. 

What does love mean to Albus? What part did it have in his history? Did it ever manifest into something so tangible that he could not doubt it, or is he just so desperate to believe in it? 

Tom Riddle which Albus labels as EVIL so easily. Is this just Albus being a biased old man, or does he see Grindelwald/himself reflected in the child?

Barty Crouch Jr. 

I mean, who the hell is he? Ravenclaw? Slytherin? I lean towards Ravenclaw though it’s more because I personally think there needs to be a prominent non-Slytherin Death Eater, and Barty could be that. 

I also have this headcanon that he’s somewhere in the bipolar spectrum, probably started out as adolescent depression (his father, period) and as time went by, started going cyclothymic until it became full-blown bipolar I.
