After basically dying twice from the killing curse Harry is impotent. Fleur leaves him because she wants children. He lives by himself and is a broken man, watching the families of his friends grow up. Always on the periphery. Always alone. He tells himself he will be a good uncle, a good godfather, but all he has ever wanted was a family to call his own. Over the decades he pulls away, slowly but surely. When he does, it takes weeks before anyone even thinks to ask “where is Harry?” When he dies, the asphyxiating, oppressive solitary confinement of his life crushes his chest to smithereens. He feels his end creeping upon him so he goes to the place he associates the most with the feeling weighing upon him. Harry Potter, age 89, dies in the cupboard under the stairs of Number 12, Grimmauld Place.

Prompt: 47
Adding onto the prompt: After a while Fleur realizes that Harry will likely try and escape and not let her ressurect him, so she carries out a ritual of binding that permentantly ties his soul the mortal world, and specifically to his own body. There are however mahor downsides to this. Harry's body doesn't heal mortal wounds. If he is injured and dies then when he wakes up that wound will still be on him. Eventually he will become something like a living corpse, covered in thousands of wounds and scars and animated solely by magic as his ruined prison is entirely incapable of repairing itself. The second downside is the aforementioned Hollowing, over time he will fade away until nothing is left. When Fleur resurrected him she expected a brain dead monster and she'll get one, she just won't get it right away.

Flower-Pot (Literally)
"In the language of flowers, purple lilacs symbolize the first emotions of love"
Posting this here so I can remember it because I want to write a fic that focuses on Harry giving Fleur flowers, trying to nail the one that she really likes and turns out it's been Lilac all along. She's liked him all along.
PostDH. Might be a cutesy fic. Might be a little slow burn (slight enemies to lovers) but with Harry trying to get Fleur's attention. They eventually become good friends but Fleur definitely tries to hide her attraction to Harry mainly because she thinks she's not sure of how he really feels. He's friendly to everyone and is everyone's rock. She's not sure why he, the boy who lived, the man who ended the war etc etc would like her, a non-human.

Winning the War in 83 Bodies
Malfoy asks Fleur to the Yule Ball, and once she declines, he starts insulting her. Harry gets involved and the argument escalates, ending with Malfoy dead. In what can be described as a bonding experience, Harry and Fleur hide the body together.
All seems well for a week, but then Crabbe stumbles across the body. Having witnessed this from some Tower where they were having a moment, Harry and Fleur know what they need to do. However, a few days later, Goyle checks out the same patch of Forbidden Forest, and therefore he also needs to disappear...
Or alternatively, how Harry and Fleur won the war with a series of preemptive murders because they wanted some time alone, but people kept finding the ever increasing number of buried bodies nearby.

Charing Cross
After blowing up Marge, Harry escapes and accidentally summons the Knight Bus. Once he tells Stan that he's Neville, he climbs up a deck and starts looking for a bed when the driver floors it and Harry ends up flying backwards and next to a stranger. The girl helps him up and they start talking. Turns out she was visiting a friend who lives in Liverpool, and wanting to go to France, she gets the lowest priority, not that she minds. To Fleur, the bus is a joyride. Harry finds this girl a little strange, but her presence is oddly comforting and so they spent the next hour chatting until Harry has to get off at Charring Cross. A year later, one of the Beauxbaton girls walks over and is about to ask for the soup when they recognise each other.

Mirrors without Reflections
When Harry was ostracized from Gryffindor house, he was alone, and scared. Every single mocking jibe and snide comment stung at his core. He had nowhere to turn until he rediscovered the Mirror of Erised. When he looked into the mirror for at least an hour he whispered a small request, “I want to disappear.“
His request was granted, little by little, he felt himself disappearing into the mirror, until there was nothing left of Harry Potter.
An unexpected side effect of being inside the mirror, what is that he was able to see into other mirrors, and move to those mirrors.
Now Harry must survive in his new home of Every. Single. Mirror.
-
Grudges
Harry had quite clear expectations from his life. As an orphan he got adopted by by his father’s distant cousin. He got trained as a squire and was to earn his knightly spurs soon. Then he would serve as a knight for his noble stepbrother, and eventually earn a small keep to govern.
That all changed when his parents’ murderer, the warlock Voldemort, attacked his new family’s holdings during his knighting ceremony. His adopted parents, his mentor, all perished, slain by magic until then unseen. His stepbrother survived, broken and disfigured, but would never walk again.
So Harry sets out on a quest. He cannot bring back those who fell, but he can make sure that the monster won’t hurt anybody else.
Fleur, the alluring dancer at a fair, holds many secrets. She is one of the Fair Folk. She was driven from the Faerie by Lord Hemlock, one the enigmatic big players of the cutthroat Faerie politics, and a ruler of a realm so distant from human lands that should a mortal even behold his lands, their mind would likely be unable to cope. And she has many reasons for sending furtive smiles at the young grim-faced knight.
When the memento of his family gets stolen by a servant of Lord Hemlock, Fleur cannot contain her glee. Such an easy way to approach him just fell in her lap. Wearing innocence as a veil, she sets to entrap Harry, to direct him at her own foe, offering him the knowledge of where the thief took his heirloom.
She would have her own Knight of Iron, she would temper him to survive in the Faerie, and she would wield him to achieve her revenge.
In a strange land they experience even stranger tales, and even their own quests of intertwine, for Lord Hemlock does not act alone.
A tale of Chivalry, Duty, and Vengeance.
But can love bloom in such soil? Unexpected, uninvited, unbidden…

Bad to the Bone
"Will it work?" "Of course. I made it." "I dunno...all that Spellotape..." Harry watched as what looks like a pair of handlebars and a seat magically attach themselves to the broom, giving the broom the appearance of a Harley Davidson...while Fleur had a maniacal gleem in her eyes...

The Break Up Plan
Fleur decides that Harry should be her boyfriend. Problem is, he already has a girlfriend. However, he could do so much better (namely, her). So she comes up with an evil plan to show Harry what he is missing and why he should make his girlfriend disappear.
She invites him to a day out and they do a lot of fun activities together (eg some kind of summer or Christmas fair). She dresses up to the nines (if summer, Hotpants, crop top, you get the idea) and is very physical (hugs, playful groping and punching).
She can see that her plan is working, Harry's eyes are definitely on her, he keeps stealing glances, but no matter what, he does not take the hint. He's tempted, but he is in a relationship he has to end first. So they part ways, Fleur annoyed that her plan has failed. Only for her to get a letter where Harry invites her on a date since he has taken care of his previous relationship.
Bonus points if this breaks up Harry/Ginny and Ron is annoyed that Harry dumped his sister, only for him to reply that this is exactly what he has asked for.

Prompt: 159
Harry visits Fleur's home for the first time. What he didn't know is that "France" is a somewhat broader term in the magical world. So when the portkey dumps him at an arrival point and it's suddenly night outside, Harry is more than a little confused since they left at dawn. But all the signs look French enough, so probably just a quirk of magic. Come to think of it, the air is rather warm and wet. But the magical quarter looks like Paris, so whatever. There's more important things to worry about, namely making a good impression with Fleur's family. And yet, throughout the dinner, he can't shake the feeling that he's missing something. So he keeps asking questions about what's nearby, but all answers sound reasonably French and he does not know any of those places. The food is a bit strange, as if someone took fast food and tried to make it as artfully and well-made as possible.
Eventually, there's an embarrassing moment when he realises that the next town, La Nouvelle-Orléans, is not in Europe, and neither is he.

Strange Bedfellows
The sphere of influence of the Revenant Kingdom is ever growing. Undead, fearless armies topple kings and emperors. And the Dark Lord Voldemort, Master Necromancer, leading the Council of Power over Death, grows ever stronger. His followers evoke such dread that their names are used to frighten children. Fenrir, leading the Commandos of Second Death, Walden, the leader of the Reanimators, the Carrow twins, leading the Spiritualists, Bellatrix, the leader of Emotion Thieves, and Severus, the Leader of the Masters of the Mind, each dread Master commanded a legion of followers.
Despite the overwhelming forces and victory after victory of the Revenant Kingdom, there was resistance. Individuals determined to fight found their way. And so an unlikely fellowship gathered, united in purpose. Harry, an orphan accepted into one of the Monasteries of Busotam, inhabited by warrior monks devoted to protecting the people from unnatural forces, training their mind, body and magic from youth to be strong and flexible. Ronald, the last survivor of his family, found by a guild of monster hunters, using a variety of weapons, potions and magical enhancements to help them fight monsters inhumanly strong and fast. Hermione, a wild-looking mage devoted to studying necromancy and spells binding demons to this plane of existence, and dispelling and banishing them with extreme prejudice. And finally, Fleur, a veela witch, the only survivor of her forest, her sisters slain and made into unwilling soldiers of the Revenant Kingdom. Carrying the legacy of her clan, having accepted the flames of her kin into her heart and sworn to destroy the necromantic kingdom.
This fellowship operates within the Revenant Kingdom’s borders, dodging patrols, looking for vulnerable targets, and gathering intelligence, witht heir ultimate aim of destroying the entire kingdom.

Prompt: 97
Here's an idea for a Flowerpot/HarryxFleur story if anyone wants to write: Fleur is an accomplished young witch at Beauxbatons, in spite of her detractors saying she uses her looks and feminine wiles to get ahead of everyone. But the real reason is that once Fleur starts something, whether it be a book, subject or whathaveyou, she can't stop until she gets to the end. Call it persistence, stubborness, perserverance or all three, it is the reason Fleur is such a highly competent witch. When the Triwizard tournament is to be held at Hogwarts, Fleur is among those selected to join the delegation with the chance of being a champion for her school. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Fleur draws nearly all the attention from the male students (and some female) of Hogwarts and Durmstrang. Barring one: Harry Potter himself who barely gives Fleur a once over. Surprised and a little indignant at the Boy Who Lived's apparent dismissal of her, Fleur starts to do her research on everything there is to know about Harry Potter and no matter how it frustrates her, Fleur can't stop until she gets to the bottom of the enigma that is Harry Potter and she soon realises that she's starting to fall in love with Harry

Prompt: 149
In a world far from our own, in a kingdom ruled by divinity, Angelic rulers sit high in their beautiful crystalline palaces in the sky, separated from the rotted, corrupt ruin of their kingdom below, assured in their deluded imagination of the state of their rule by their agents and bureaucrats. As the land spirals into collapse, some brave men and women decide that they have had enough. They rise up in rebellion against the royals and their agents, and people from across the land flock to their banner. From out of nowhere, a powerful magi of little renown, one Harry Potter, joins their cause. He quickly rises through the ranks, his humble charisma, natural leadership and sheer power winning the rebellion major gains, and bringing the men and women it consisted of closer together. With him as its blade, the rebellion achieved victory after victory, striking deeper and deeper into the heart of the land, closer and closer to the capital above which the crystal palaces of the angels hung in the sky.
They seemed unstoppable. At least, until Harry was captured. In a sting operation, he gave himself up as a distraction, so that his comrades could escape. They watched as he was clapped in irons by the royal army, and taken away. They believed his life was forfeit. Yet, Harry was not killed as the rebellion believed. The King, having heard of general unrest, demanded that the captured perpetrator be jailed in the royal palace itself. Despite what the officials wished, the king’s word was still law. Harry pleaded to see the king, to argue his case and to tell him of the state of the kingdom below. Yet his pleas and truths fell on deaf ears, as the angelic nobility remained content in their delusion of prosperity and happiness. It was in the jail that he first laid eyes on the woman named Fleur Delacour. The daughter of a minor noble, a friend of the crown prince, and the new captain of the royal Knights, she had been inspecting the jails of the palace when they met. Again, and again she would come, yet they said not a word. Until suddenly, they did. Neither remembered who said the first word yet when they began, they couldnt stop.
They spoke of their lives. She spoke of the seemingly forced happiness of the royal court, and he of the ruin of the kingdom below. As they talked, often late into the nights, she was broken from the delusion by the truths that flowed from his mouth. Tolerance turned to friendship, which grew into respect, from which blossomed admiration. Yet, one day it was all broken. In a daring raid on the palaces themselves, the rebellion, that had heard of Harry's survival and captivity, threw its all into securing his freedom. As they fled the palace, Fleur’s shocked and saddened face stayed at the forefront of Harry’s mind. During Harry’s captivity, the rebellion had believed he was dead, and he had become a martyr. Yet with his freeing, he became an icon. A symbol. And the rebellion began to strike harder than before. Even as the uprising raged on, Harry kept contact with Fleur. Through letters, secret messages, clandestine meetings, they keep in touch, even as the rebellion wins ground. And, one day, after much too long yet way too soon, it all comes to a head. The final fight. The storming of the crystal palaces.
I can see this ending one of two ways:
-
Fleur defects to the rebellion with her family, their caring for their people finally overcoming their loyalty to a blind throne. The royals are deposed, and the Delacours are crowned as the new royals, a new parliament is established, and the crystal palaces are lowered to the ground, touching the earth once more after centuries. Harry and Fleur get married, the ultimate sign of acceptance of the new regime, with the princess of the angels and the face of the rebellion tying the knot in the flower gardens of the new grounded royal palace. (Happy Ending.)
-
It all comes to a head in the final battle. Despite knowing of what the kingdom has become, Fleur’s loyalty wins. A final fight takes place, Harry, face of the rebellion, versus Fleur, the captain of the royal Knights. Their lives, their causes, hang in the balance. Eventually, after a hard fought battle, Harry wins, and tears roll down his face and his love’s as he takes her life, her final words to him being: “I love you.”
The palaces are grounded, the royals deposed and exiled, and a new parliamentary government takes hold. Yet Harry returns to that battleground every day until he dies, keeling where his love had breathed her last, and weeping. (Bad end, sort of.)

Vernon's Redemption
So, the idea is that Vernon used to be an up and coming businessman, before he worked in Grunnings. His company sent him to France, to finalise a deal or something. This was before he hated anything that wasn't British. And who does he meet in France? an ethereally beautiful silvery blonde, who's currently going by the placeholder name of [Appoline's Sister]. They talk, and talk, and over the course of the two months or so that Vernon spends in France, they fall in love. [Appoline's Sister] at first didn't tell Vernon about magic, but a week or two before He's due to leave, she starts appearing at their meetups/date more and more exhausted and scared. Concerned, he asks her to open up to him. She tells him about magic, and how some of the purists in her social circles disapprove of her relationship with him, a muggle. (Vernon doesnt hate magic, he's actually really enamoured with the wonder of it.) [Appoline's Sister] tells him that she's still going to keep seeing him regardless, because she loves him, but she's scared that they might do something to him. He tells her he trusts her to protect him.
The day he applies for an extension of his work in France, so he can stay with her, she's found dead.
He meets her family for the first time then, when Appoline decides that he at least deserves to know what happened to [Appoline's Sister]. He's inconsolable, and when he asks how she died, she tells him she was killed by the same purists she'd been so scared of. Appoline's mother, kind of a purist herself, makes matters worse through some snide comments about how its Vernon's fault [Appoline's Sister] died, and how she should have known better to get with a muggle.
Vernon returns to Britain, heartbroken, with a newfound hatred of magic and those who use it.

Hack the Ministry
Fleur Delacour, arithmancy and runes prodigy, is arrested for bringing down the wards at the French Ministry at the age of 11. She is not allowed access to her wand outside of classes and is escorted at all times by a team of Aurors until she comes of age.
With the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament, though, the Ministry decides she should be let out early for good behavior- as long as she is the Beauxbatons champion.
And while she's at Hogwarts, maybe she could take a look at whatever changes Dumbledore has been making to the school's protections, just in case....
In other words 1995's Hackers but Magic.

Legacy of Defiance
Overcoming dark lords has always had consequences. And nothing proves that as well as the tragic fate that befell Fleur and her beloved in times when legends lived and myths were true. The supernatural couple of heroes defied a villain that would today be called a dark god, and defeated him, but his final Curse affected them both.
Death cruelly tore them apart, her beloved dying young, but that was not all. The Curse kept them apart and she couldn’t follow him into death. She had to watch as the world around her changed and her family and friends died one by one, while she stood as if untouched by time.
A chance encounter shocked her out of her grief, for she met a young man looking as if her beloved was looking back at her from a mirror. She couldn’t help herself, and fell for him all over again. And thus the Curse’s cruelty was finally revealed.
She would live through falling in love again and again, only to have her love torn away every time.
But she had defied the dark god, and she would defy his Curse. Instead of apathy, she channelled her grief into drive, and delved into research of magic and of the divine.
And the next time her beloved came back, she fell for him again. But she was ready. Using a ritual of her own making, she awakened his memories of his past lives.
The couple reunited and set to defy the cruel fate together. They worked to break the curse, but death struck again.
And again, and again.
But every time, they came a step closer, every lifetime moved them towards finally breaking the Curse.
And now? Now Harry Potter during his fourth year notices a pair of eyes watching him, unlike any he has seen so far. Old, tired, resolute.
Defiant.

Last Game
HP/Multi You’re now trapped in the universe of the last game you played, what do you do?
Waking up in the world of Harry Potter is incredibly strange……..especially when you ‘awaken’ during the wand choosing ceremony. Spells actually hurt…….don’t know why I’m surprised about that but they do. Anyways I was playing Hogwarts Mystery and decided to make a new character whom I just got the name done for…….wait a minute.
That guy looks kinda like my other character………..okay since that’s the case I’m currently three years older than Harry, but two years ahead of him in school. Well that’s just fantastic.
Pairings are OC/Fluer, Harry/Gabrielle. Crossover with Mass Effect but has elements from Star Wars and Stargate because Jedi and lightsabers, as well as the whole astria porta things are cool.
