Yeah I know, I've read that one and all of his fics except his oldest three cause if they're the oldest they're probably the worst and I had a run in with a bad Harry?GL fic before that scarred me so I avoided them cause they seemed like not my cup of tea.

Buffy isn't my thing and waking up after a beating with ghost powers seemed kinda ...ugh you know?

Not quite a guardian, but what if Lord Zedd, after the arrival of the Machine Empire, decides to take a few short trips away from the trailer to have a break from Rita's whining and the babbling of the buffoons and shows up in Little Winging for a walk in disguise.

He runs head first into Harry during the beginning of book 3, quite literally, being surprised enough that both of them end up on the ground and he spots one of Harry's school books...namely the Monster Book of Monsters.

Considering his options, Zedd comes to the conclusion that there might be something with the kid, especially since his nemesis was using Teenagers, so why shouldn't he.

And, well, a wizard is definitely a step up from random kids gathered from a nearby city.

Besides, the kids young, and can easily be trained in the ways of evil, besides he'd heard rumors of Dark Specter adopting a girl so it might give him an in at a later point if Harry proves to be a worthy member of his forces.

His attempts to recruit Harry are somewhat stifled by the arrival of Dumbledore and Fudge, making him realize that it wouldn't be possible to simply nab the kid and run, besides what the panicked kid said about his family, it shouldn't be that hard to come to terms with the brat.

Cue Zedd actually ending up making a friend, and becoming Harry's mentor.

The entire thing has a few other amusing things that could pop up such as a meeting between Finster and Hagrid...or Squatt and Baboo encountering Snape.

Zedd meeting Voldemort...

Zedd meeting Voldemort...
I think Zedd would thrash Voldemort, keep in mind that while Zedd didn't fight on the front lines that much, when he did, it seemed like nobody could stop him. And while she isn't as strong, having Rita with him would only make things more dangerous.

And in the long run, things in Power Rangers canon could shift radically too. If Astronama had Evil/Dark Harry as a boyfriend, as well as any magical friends Harry can convert, it might make it harder for even her brother to convert her, and if that doesn't happen, she doesn't betray Dark Specter, which means no evil cyber mind implants, which means she doesn't work against Dark Specter a second time, which means no Psycho Rangers, and the end of the world might actually happen.

Yes, Zedd would squash Voldemort if he wanted to do so, however, Voldemort is far more pragmatic about things. The so called "Dark Lord" might be a perfect test of Harry's abilities, and a potential vector to corrupt Harry through hatred and offering the more dark methods of winning the fight.

For changing things, yeah, that might be a big chunk of the point.

However, while that part of the timeline might be changed, it doesn't mean that it will stay bad.

Astronama might still switch sides, and Harry might follow.

Harry having a knock down, drag out brawl with Andros with both fighting for different reasons (Harry thinking he kidnapped his girlfriend, Andros because he doesn't like Karone's "Evil" boyfriend).

Even then, early on Harry could be seen as a possible ally of the Rangers due to their mutual enemy in the Machine Empire and him developing a personal hatred of Divatox (Harry viewing her as the reason why his mentor left the system).

Harry breaking from the UAE after discovering what Dark Specter did to his lover and launching his own war on Dark Specter as a response could work.

Perhaps after the Psycho Rangers are defeated, Harry steals the cards and reforms them while partially remaking them into his own soldiers or even ripping their power from them to make his own version of Evil Rangers.

Could you see the reaction of the Rangers when the realize that someone they consider an ally is actually the apprentice of Zedd and is only aiding them because they have a common enemy.

Harry being able to save Ecliptor would also be interesting.

One thing to differentiate Harry could easily be his more noble nature as it's put in the books, having him be a mix of anti-hero and anti-villain at different points while remaining essentially loyal and honorable while being willing to use almost any means at his disposal to defeat his enemy would be a very different method than most of the villains seen in the series'.

With Ecliptor around, he and Astronema would probably instill a very strong sense of honor into him. I'd be interested to see how the wizarding world would react to Harry being the apprentice to an interstellar evil while dating a princess of evil.

And, if he can bring them to the dark side, Harry has people who would be to him like Rita's servants are to her, like say Luna, with her imagination, could be a monster maker like Finster.

So what would be the effect on the HP side of the equation? At this point, Harry is very attached to his friends and Hogwarts in general, so that would have to be addressed, unless you go with the brainwashing path.


-Ron wouldn't be too hard to corrupt to evil, since he still has the inferiority complex, and getting super powers would definitely be something they never did. Making him evil wouldn't be too hard after that.

-Hermione would be much more difficult to pull off, since she's the "good" one, and is least likely to be tempted without additional forces in play. She might go along with them to stay with her friends and learn new magic from Rita, but I don't see her becoming evil easily. She might end up working as an inside agent for the Rangers, which could be fun.

I can see their reaction being odd, either they start viewing him as an active Dark Lord and panic or they view the evil part as a bit of muggle propaganda that Harry's allies are mocking as the "United Alliance of Evil".

Luna probably wouldn't be the monster maker, without any equipment for it Hagrid has already made monsters. Add a professional friendship with Finster and imagine what new pets he'd make. And his anger at the Rangers for destroying such sweet and innocent critters...
 
Harry's guardian is an old friend of Dumbledore's, who taught him a few unimportant magical tricks back in the days when Dumbles was a wee boy and he was tutoring him in the magic arts.

Harry Potter, meet Gandalf the Grey. :snigger:

Harry Potter raised by Jaster Mereel.

For those who don't recognize that name, that was the original name of Boba Fett before Lucas decided to retcon his origin story (despite the fact that the story written in the EU was much better). His basic statement of principle goes as follows:

Everyone dies.

It's the final and only lasting Justice. Evil exists; it is intelligence in the service of entropy. When the side of a mountain slides down to kill a village, this is not evil, for evil requires intent. Should a sentient being cause that landslide, there is evil; and requires Justice as consequence, so that civilization can exist.

There is no greater good than Justice; and only if law serves Justice is it good law. It is said correctly that law exists not for the Just but for the unjust, for the Just carry it in their hearts, and do not need to call it from afar.

I bow to no one and give service only for cause.

I have a little idea. A young Harry has enough of the Durseleys, so one October 31st, he runs. He runs and runs until he finds himself somehow in an old pumpkin patch. He breaks down crying, wishing he had a real, loving family, unknowing he is overheard by a caring soul, a girl named Sally.

Years later, Harry shows up at Hogwarts, as the Pumpkin Prince of Halloween.

The Power The Dark Lord Knows Not is...
The power of Tracing.
Harry Potter has been raised in Fuyuki CIty by Emiya Shirou and Pendragon Arthuria/Saber.
Cue Blinky the Basilisk be transformed in minced meat with EXCALIBUR (Mom's birthday's gift).

You know, Lily's family was non-magical, so it might make sense for Harry to be raised by someone normal, no special abilities, no magic or anything, just a cool guardian whose mannerisms might rub off on him. This might sound stupid, but I suddenly had the thought of Harry raised by the late, great...

George Carlin.

Why not have him taken in by the Monster Under The Stairs?

"Fingers like snakes and spiders for my hair."

Fixed...

Anyway, Sally just seemed like the right choice, first because, unlike Jack, the One Hiding under the stairs, or almost any other Halloween Town resident, Sally isn't someone he would automatically run from scared, on Halloween she'd look like someone in a costume. Second, because while Sally is more timid by nature, a lot of similarities can be seen between her and Lily, smart, kind, tricky, red hair (If what sally has is, indeed, hair). And finally, I think Jack would be as great an influence as a father as Sally a mother, both able to instill a strong sense of manners, justice, and, in Jack's case, showmanship.

And it doesn't have to stop there, I could see Harry being dropped off at Hogwarts by 'Uncle Sandy Claws' with his familiar and family pet, Zero.

And Harry would be very interested in Voldemort for a totally new reason:

The Pumpkin King is supposed to be the scariest being in existence. But nobody is so afraid of him that they dare not speak his name. What is it that makes Voldemort more terrifying than Jack Skellington?

And if you go by that, it could turn into a three way battle if Oogie Boogie managed to show up somehow, since the bug-bag already died twice if you count the game "Oogie's Revenge"
