REASONS TO STAY: BOOK ONE.

SOMEONE TO STAY; Epilogue.

Part of my rewrite series, starting from the Marauders’ Era. More is coming soon.

❛ There’s a dream that used to hold Remus Lupin hostage during his darkest hours . . . ❜

It’s finally here! After months of announcing my work in progress, and years of fixing and outlining the Harry Potter world, I have finally posted the epilogue for what is sure to be a great journey, I hope you’ll show some love and support! Any feedback, comments, advices are welcome!

The Epilogue is very short — it’s meant to be, the rest of the chapters will go from 2,000-ish words and, if the inspiration strikes, more.

WATTPAD. AO3. 

Special thanks to @fen1s for being my beta reader!

Hari raised by Wolfstar :D

Hi, Anon! Thank you for voting! I’ll add it to my chart. Also, loved that you used Hari’s Indian name💜

I wanted to take the chance to also thank everyone who’s been voting, please keep them coming! The vote won’t end until I’ve finished (or mostly finished) my Marauders’ era part of the rewrite. If you’ve got any comments or questions about it, please let me know!

For anyone that’s wondering what the vote is about, you can go ahead and see it here!

Harry Potter Rewrite: Religion.

The original Harry Potter series was heavily influenced by the Christian religion. I never thought it made much sense, so I decided to make it so that the majority (especially purebloods and half-bloods) practice paganism. They’ll have their own traditions and festivals and holidays.

There will be other students who don’t practice paganism, but that enjoy some of their holidays. So far, some of the students (in the Marauders’ Era, since that’s what I’m working on at the moment) who aren’t Pagans are:

1. James Potter—Hinduism

2. Peter Pettigrew—Atheist

3. Severus Snape—Atheist, but has Catholic leanings due to his muggle father

4. Lily Evans—Atheist, family is Catholic

Of course, other religions such as Judaism, Islam, and many more, will be included. I’m just currently doing my research on these religions so that I can portray them well. Any help or suggestion is welcomed.

Any thoughts?

Introduction.

Hello, my name is Rio. I go by they/them, and am pan. I’m deaf, have been my entire life.

I write purely for fun, and I hope that one day I can share some of my original works. For now, though, I’ll be focusing on several projects I’ve been working on for some time within the Harry Potter universe.

NOTE: I do not, in any way, support JKRoach. I am a part of the fandom, anything that TERF says has no importance in my blog. Fuck her.

Harry Potter Rewrite.

I decided to rewrite the entire Harry Potter series. I’ll be fixing plot holes, diversifying, and overall bettering the story as I see fit.

I would love and appreciate it if you guys could help me out! Have any specific headcanon for any character? Let me know! Have ideas for an Era? Comment, Ask, or PM me!

I want to hear about any and all suggestions you may have.

NOTE #1: I used to identify as Anti-Snape, but I no longer do. I decided to interact with some Snape stans with an open mind when I made the choice of humanizing Snape. Now, I’m very neutral about young Snape, however, I won’t defend him as an adult. Hope that’s understandable. If you’ve got any headcanons on Snape as a young boy/teenager, feel free to send them over.

NOTE #2: Due to my personal headcanon that the Potters are Indian, I will be referring to Harry as Hari (I can elaborate on this, if you’d like).

Social Media.

I’ll be posting the rewrite (and maybe some other works) on Ao3 and Wattpad. You can subscribe and follow in the meantime.

You can follow my progress with the rewrite on my Twitter. I will be interacting with everyone there, and will be holding votes on different matters every Friday (ish).

If you’re looking to befriend me, you can follow me on Instagram and TikTok.

Reasons to Stay: Book One.

Someone to Stay: Epilogue. (Wattpad || Ao3)

Someone to Stay: Chapter One. (Watt. || Ao3)

Someone to Stay: Chapter Two. (Watt. || Ao3)

so you write on ao3

I have an account, but I haven’t posted anything yet. You can find me by the same username (thesoftrainbows).

I also have Wattpad (ew, I know), and will probably also post my HP Rewrite in FanFiction.net if I figure out how it works.

All of these accounts have the same username.

OH also, Twitter and Instagram are under the same name :)

Can someone please teach me how to add links in that pretty, organized way I’ve seen some people do? I don’t know how to explain it, but like you can name the link whatever you want and it’s not that long-ass jumble of letters and numbers.

Wait, if you're still taking suggestions, can you do a Slytherin-Gryffindor friendship? It doesn't have to be Draco because it'll take a lot of rewiring to make that work, but maybe someone like Millicent who isn't as hard-headed? Or maybe more Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff rep, especially more inter-house friendships. I think it'll be funny if at some point, one of them goes to sit at another house's table because "they're my friend 😐 and there's no rule against it except for like on three days of the year. stop looking at me weird"

Yes, I’m still taking suggestions!

I actually plan on having some OCs in my rewrite because most of the Slytherins in the books are explicitly part of Malfoy’s gang, therefore wannabe DEs. But, I can definitely try and have someone like Millicent be friends with another student of a different House/Gryffindor (they’d have to be pureblood, but yes).

As for the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw rep, I’ve already developed several students for both Houses for the Marauders and Golden Eras. I think they’d be so fun to write. I’m so excited!

What's your opinion on each of the Weasleys?

Hi! That’s a really great question! I might be adding some headcanons into the mix, hope that’s okay.

Bill Weasley: I had a major crush on him when I was younger, he was just so badass. I still like him, but now I focus on Fleur. Anyway, I picture him as a third-parent because the oldest kids (especially in big families like his) are always plunged into the responsibilities of caring for the younger ones when the parents are unavailable for any reason.

Charlie Weasley: He’s asexual, you can’t tell me otherwise. I also had a Charlie phase when I first read about him, mostly because of his dragons. I think he was also forced into the responsibility of being yet another parent, but perhaps not as much as Bill. I also think he intentionally decided to be far from his family, not because he doesn’t love them or anything, but perhaps because home got overwhelming.

Percy Weasley: There’s a lot of controversy here. I don’t think about him much, but I relate to him in some ways. I think he was feeling forgotten. In a big family, the kids are constantly fighting for the spotlight, for the love and praise of their parents. But then, when you add Harry to the mix, it just becomes impossible to get your parents to listen for a minute. I think he got lost in his search for validation, though in no way do I think he’s way of handling it was correct.

Fred Weasley: Everyone says that he’s the harsher twin, that he’s the leader, and honestly, I see it. I do think he was extremely sensitive, despite the way he behaves in public. Like you insult something he’s already self-conscious about and he’ll cut you down with words, but he’ll also sulk about it for the rest of the day.

George Weasley: He’s my favorite. Solely because of the immense post-war potential now that he only has one ear. I feel like people should realize that this is the perfect opportunity to introduce the Deaf community into the wizarding world. (Am I self-portraying here? Yes, yes I am). George Weasley talking in sign language? Sign me up!

Ron Weasley: I don’t understand why so many people dislike him. He was an amazing friend to Harry, he was brave, he was loyal, he was just awesome. I think a lot of people saw him get jealous a few times and clung to it. He’s one of the youngest kids in his family, the pressure is insane especially because of all the accomplishments each of his siblings have. Cut him some damn slack.

Ginny Weasley: The movies destroyed her. She was incredibly badass throughout the entire series and I loved her. One thing I will complain about is the way she treated Fleur for no reason. Like, sweetie, your internalized misogyny is showing. Other than that, loved her. Also I have this headcanons where she shaves her hair off after the war, and Molly completely flips because her daughter had such pretty hair.

Molly Weasley: She was, by no means, a perfect mother. There’s a lot of things I really didn’t like about her (like the way she never bothered to differentiate her twins), but I never doubted her love and devotion to her kids. Plus she was such an angel when it came to Harry, she was just what the poor guy needed.

Arthur Weasley: Please don’t kill me, but I’m very neutral about him. He’s a good father, of course, but I personally don’t feel any kind of attachment to the man, I don’t know why.

I think I’ve got all the Weasleys, whew! Thank you, Anon, for the question. It was fun to answer 💜

Harry Potter Rewrite: Help!

I’ve been outlining more or less what I want the final result for my Harry Potter rewrite to look like but I’m stuck on two outcomes of Hari’s childhood:

NOTE: I have a headcanon in which the Potters are Indian, so James names his son Hari. I think I mentioned this before, if I didn’t, feel free to ask about it.

Hari is raised by his Aunt Petunia, but she leaves Vernon.

Petunia’s marriage starts falling apart when Lily dies.

Vernon didn’t let her go to her sister’s funeral because he was sure that the place would be crawling with “freaks”. Even if Petunia begged, he would still prevent her from going.

Vernon made nasty comments about Lily and James’ death, saying that they’re two less freaks to worry about.

Eventually Petunia leaves her husband and moves back in with her parents (who are alive in this version).

Petunia decides to go to college, a decision supported by her parents since they promised to help her financially and with the boys.

She studies to become an English teacher.

She loves her job. Also, she might fall in love with the History teacher.

She remarries, and it’s a man who treats her right and is good with the boys.

Both boys are treated equally while with her.

Dudley and Hari get along well. Although whenever Dudley returns from his weekends at his father’s, they fight a lot.

Hari grows up knowing he’s a wizard and knowing (more or less, because Petunia didn’t have all the details) what had happened to his parents.

Many more…

Hari is raised by Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.

Remus, along with several other people who believed Sirius was innocent, start protesting and putting pressure on the Ministry so that they can give Sirius a proper trial.

Sirius is renamed innocent.

Dumbledore still refuses to hand Hari over to them, even though they were the rightful guardians of the child.

The last straw is when Dumbledore casually corrects them and says that Hari’s name has been changed to Harry.

They whitewashed his name. They were livid.

Remus and Sirius, along with some handpicked friends to help them, manage to kidnap Hari.

They take him to Wales, further away from Remus’ former home. They cast an insane amount of spells to hide themselves from Dumbledore. They were untraceable.

Other than the protections needed, they lived a muggle life.

They have other children (the names I’m still working out), there’s five kids in total.

Two of those children are werewolves, attacked at a young age by another wolf pack that’s not Fenrir Greyback. They—Remus, especially—wanted to bring them comfort when he found out about them.

Hari lives in a loud, chaotic household in the middle of nowhere.

Lyall Lupin eventually moves in with them because Remus worried for his father—the man was old and alone.

And many more…

NOTE: The outcome of the votings will determine the overall plot of Hari’s era. Choose wisely, what do you want to see?

Hey your HP fic sounds amazing what is your Ao3 account so I can subscribe? Thanks 😁

Hi! Thank you! I don’t have anything posted yet, but I’m hoping I can have something done and shared by New Year.

You can find me as “thesoftrainbows” (same as my tumblr). I would attach a link but I’m not sure how to do that.

Thank you for the support!
