Basic prompt:
During the battle Hermione while looking for Harry finds him outside the RoR and inside it stumbles upon the Genie/Jinn while searching for the diadem.
I’ve included a set of guidelines that sorta sets a tone. Also a prologue to use and run with if you want it but you do NOT have to use it. Totally optional just like any of the suggestions I included with the guidelines.
The main pairing must be H\Hr any pairing outside of HHr is up to you (if you want to make HHr a thruple with someone else that’s cool too but for the love of all things please no harems there’s so many fics like that now.)
The Genie/Jinn must be found and used by Hermione (mostly cuz she’s my favorite and her bleeding heart for body autonomy is an easy plot point) and before anything else the 🧞 will restore their memories of the previous run thru of the Hogwarts battle and meeting in the afterlife
The last wish must be used to free the Genie/Jinn (cuz of the whole bleeding heart thing see I have reasons)
One of the wishes must help them save at least 3 beings who died during the books but I am absolutely excluded Lily and James from whatever list you have in your brain.(could totally be a ripple effect from one hands on save or if you do a crossover one of those characters could do some saving) I’m saying the save doesn’t have to be done by H or Hr just as a result of a wish
Any bashing you want to do is cool. I’d prefer Snape be at least fighting for good (because I love me some Alan Rickman and enjoyed his Lily atonement but maybe also getting a romance of his own maybe 🧞♀️’s like 🦇’s) Ron should be villain or dickhead they drop. But I’ve seen some Ron’s who’ve grown up and not been prats so if you can fix him to not be so petty/jealous 👍🏻 just don’t want him around the whole time being a total knob head (it’s akin to beating a dead horse and kinda boring 😁)
The intro makes the Genie/Jinn want to be helpful so it won’t be tricking Hermione or Harry but everyone else is fair game.
Anything can be wished for following the rules of the Genie/Jinn {see the intro included for 🧞♂️ rules} (some ideas are: going back in time with memory doesn’t have to be just Hermione and Harry you could pull other people to help too, give them gifts both normal and magical like activating recessive gifts that have been passed down, make them aware of lordships and blood test for political power it basically can include anything you can dream of if there’s a reset or time jump of some sort.) But I want you to be creative AF with the wishes!
Really you could go nuts (and do a bit of anything and everything from time travel to gifts to political power to soul bonds to creature inheritance) I want some savvy Hermione and Harry kicking ass and making shit better (if you want outside the box inspiration try reading New Blood by artemisgirl which is ongoing or The Confectionery Chronicles by Cheshire_carroll it’s an amazing crossover that I’ve adored every time I go back to it *Warning: It’s not finished*)
all the lemons 🍋 🍋 🍋 guys I mean it all the lemons that you feel comfortable giving because let’s face it teenagers/young adults away from home in mostly cold weather like Scotland you know they were getting up to shenanigans with each other. This 100% goes for HHr and Genie/Jinn (would adore 🧞 getting their own romance) but can be for any others as well
Would really like longer length stuff so no set time limit (however my birthday is in July 😉) once finished should really be 20k words and up to do the whole idea justice but I’m not fussy and will happily read any length you put the time and effort into.
Prologue-
This is the worst part of the job. It’s a stupid loophole and these beings creep me out every time. If someone dies they should have to forfeit their remaining wishes, but no I get dragged up or down with them and away we whirl. Any second now I’ll be called in and you just know the first thing he’ll say is ‘Genie/Jinn I wish I hadn’t died’ idiots the lot of them. The first thing the very first thing I say is there are only 3 rules. One can’t wish for more wishes or rub the lamp again(it’s fuckin cheating and greedy). Two can’t bring back dead people or kill them(hello special powers not almighty powers). Three can’t mess with people’s feelings(despite my ongoing semi-slavery for most beings you can’t take away free will without breaking shit in the process). Three fucking rules and it’s like poof after they’ve died they forgot. God this guy is taking forever to deal with the fact he’s dead and this guard is way chatty. OWW!
“I’m so sorry I’ve been looking for someone and not watching wher- WHY ARE YOU IN SHACKLES? WHO DID THIS TO YOU? ARE YOU OK?” This pretty whirlwind of a young lady screams glaring at my now silent guard
“Hey hey I’m ok girly take a breath.” I wince “Sorry my bad that a wrong choice of words there.”
She visibly relaxes but is still glaring around likely trying to spot my master. But she reaches out to me and taking my hand quietly asks “Is there anything I can do to help you?”
I’m stunned I’ve been doing this shit for literally eons and it’s rare to come across someone so genuine. She’s still looking at me so earnestly I can tell right away she means it and is positively furious on my behalf at the imprisonment so few seem to even see. “I’m ok sweetheart it’s my job to grant the wishes of my masters alive or dead.” I say meaningfully nodding my head toward the door.
She deflates and looks at the guard softly in apology before turning back to me. “Your a Genie/Jinn? What’s the likelihood your current ‘master’ will set you free?”
I chuckle she’s quick on the uptake “no chance, he’s selfish to the core”
She softens even more and asks her guide if being dead and all she could she activate the lamp next. The guard who seems resigned but fond of her says no. Grumbling she straitens up as she turns back to me. “I’m Hermione Granger. There’s a slight chance I’ll be coming back alive but won’t remember this so I live in Crawly, I hang out in library’s a lot and if you can find me alive I’ll free you, I promise!” She’s utterly convincing with her wide does eyes and honest sweet smile. Damn I haven’t met someone this nice in such a long time, something catches her eye over my shoulder then and she gasps quickly looking back to me but enraptured with whatever it is.
“I have to go but it was lovely meeting you and remember what I said.” She babbles out briefly making intense as fuck eye contact until I nod slightly. Shifting like she’s about to crawl out of her nonexistent skin. “I have to go.” She breaths and then darts around me sprinting down the hall as everyone leaps out of the way. She screams “HARRY!!” And leaps into a young mans arms.
Her guide sighs “Every damn time.” Nods to me and my guard and shuffles toward her.
“They are so cute” my guard sighs “I hope he makes it this time he’s running out of chances.”
“Your talking about her boy?” I ask seeing him hold her in a tight grip as their guides nod at each other.
“Yeah that’s Harry Potter he has a destiny and a fate thing going on but he keeps dying” he pauses; tilting his head, “tho this time he got the bad guy before one of the guys twats who was hiding got him the next day in his sleep, got her too this time. They are so cute together, don’t ya think?” He rambles out
I’m still watching as the boy finally lets her go a bit and still holding her quite close talks tenderly to her not breaking eye contact in the least. “When did they die this time?” I ask. Curious if the ideas perking up in the back of my mind could work.
“May 3rd 1999” he says looking at me curiously
“That’s gunna be close my idiot died in April” I say turning to him intently.
“Where are they on May 3rd?” I ask as I stare him down.
“Hogwarts I’m pretty sure, why?” He’s looking at me dubiously but I know I’m about to rock his little gossip heart.
“Because I’m going to help after we get done here and you will get me all the info I need, we are going to make this victory 10 times more fun and possibly easier.” I grin at him sharp and quick.
Turning back to watch the little cuties walk away, I see he’s nervous about helping me out in my peripheral vision. He likes them and I will play to that; and he’ll cave because I’m awesome and it’s really best not to say no to me. So while I’m waiting for my idiot to make his final wish so I can be released back to earth, I get busy. I talk and gossip and threaten to gather all the info I need and make a plan on how to put myself in her path.
I had to take a quick trip down to the fates office and tell them my plan to make it work so they can prep my new master before she’s sent back but apparently they’ve met the girl too. Knowing that she’s a force of her own by now they’ve decided to give her a destiny to fulfill as well. So maybe it won’t be as easy with the new added tasks but I’ll still get shit done and now it’s all sanctioned with the big wigs.
With my help they can both get their destiny’s fulfilled with bonus points in the form of rewards. I’ve helpfully made a mental list of all the suggestions I’ve gotten once it got around what I’m doing(they are either really well liked here or the beings up here are really really bored). So after my guys final wish is fulfilled (dude wished his porn collection disappeared so mummy wouldn’t find it) yep I’m still waiting…and with a little ‘nudge’ (ahem blatant interference) from fate I sit in this magically changing room (RoR)during the battle and wait for Hermione to be ‘nudged’ to me. I just know this is gunna be good fun and with any luck (ha I found out her guy has that shit in spades) she’ll keep her promise and free me!
