I've been fiddling around with an idea that's basically...what if Harry...was not only intelligent...but criminally inclined? What if, at an early age, he took up shoplifting as a form of rebellion, and after some ingenuity, learned to fiddle around with various devices, creating various contraptions that could aid him in his crimes? Little grabbers up his sleeve, perhaps, to snag candy and pull it up some loose, baggy sleeves...hey, getting Dudley's old clothes can't be all bad.
Fuck shoplifting. I want Artemis Fowl!Harry.

Except without the pesky flaw of having a conscience.

Jeeves and Harry.

After the death of his aged employer Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, Jeeves receives a letter informing him that his talents are needed in his old alma mater Hogwarts. Apparently the house of Slytherin has fallen on bad times, the former head of house was a disgrace to the name of Slytherin and had reduced the once proud House to little more than cheap thugs and bumblers who seem determined to announce their "evil" plans for all to hear.
Time for Jeeves to take charge and teach them what being slytherin is all about.

After that there are several ways the story could proceed. Becoming a mentor to Draco, he's a rather pathetic slytherin in canon.

Meeting Harry while shopping giving us Slytherin Harry.

Or Jeeves vs Dumbledore. Just the scenes of Dumbledore trying to explain, Wooster style, his brilliant plan to store a magical stone that Voldy wants, in a castle full of children would be great.

Jeeves vs Umbridge and she thought the kids were bad.



I got bored at work and decided to find out what house Jeeves would be in.

Loyal enough for hufflepuff but certainly willing to let his friend and employer take the fall for his plots.

Smart enough for ravenclaw this would but it is something to fuel his plans rather than a goal in and of itself.

Certainly gutsy enough for Gryf but not his style.

Slytherin He has the cunning and the resourcefulness but not really the ambition. Still the best house for him Ravenclaw coming second.

Jeeves and Harry

What kind of trap would Jeeves create to protect the Philosopher's Stone?

Sorry if I've gotten any of the details wrong but to be honest I've never read any HP
books or seen any of the movies. All of my information save spelling comes from
fanfic's and a 14 year old niece.

____________________________________________________________________
They were through the chess board but had lost Ron. Hopefully the rest of the traps
would be easier. Harry glanced at Hermione before opening the door. "Ready for the
next one?"

Hermione took a breath to calm herself before turning to him. "Alright Harry I'm ready."

Harry pushed open the door revealing a scene out of a war movie. A thick layer of stone
dust and ash hung in the air forcing the children to cover their mouths with the
sleeves of their robes in order to breathe. The room was littered with craters, carbon
scoring from fire spells, and areas where the stone seemed to have been simply eaten
away. A quick glance around showed the walls and ceiling to be in a similar state.
Even worse there was no indication as to what had caused the devastation. Harry
quickly spoke through his sleeve, "Hermione maybe we should just get a teacher.
I'm not sure I want to try this one."

"An excellent notion Mr Potter, but might I suggest having thought of it before Mr.
Weasley was rendered unconscious." Remarked a rather familiar voice.

The two spun around to see the Head of Slytherin Professor Jeeves. He appeared as
unflappable as ever, even with their friends body floating in the air behind him.

"Professor we think Quirrell is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone. We have to stop him."

The professor glanced past them at the final door. It had been blown off its hinges
revealing only a dark space beyond. "Well, Miss Granger as the Stone hasn't resided
in that room since Halloween I doubt we have much to fear. In fact the only item still
remaining is a mirror that has been turned into a port key to auror headquarters."
Now Madame Pomfrey will be arriving shortly to see to Mr. Weasley so lets make our
way back to greet her."

As they walked through the deactivated traps with Ron in tow, the only sound was of
echoing footsteps. Leaving Harry with a chance to breathe and think calmly for the
first time since the adventure had begun. Which he quickly found was a mistake, his
body began to tense once again as thoughts of possible punishments they could
receive as well as what the twins would do to him after the discovered what had
happened to Ron because of him. So immersed was he that he let loose an almost
audible yelp when Hermione spoke.

"Professor Jeeves, we could guess which members of the faculty made each of the
traps we passed. Was the last one yours?"

"Indeed, Your quite perceptive Miss Granger. That was my contribution to
Headmaster Dumbledore's protections."

"Could you please explain what it was then. We saw the trouble that Quirrell had
passing it but couldn't see what actually attacked him."


"I suppose since the thief is no doubt now in custody there can be no harm in telling
you." Jeeves smiled to himself reflecting that it had been almost a full year since he
had expounded upon one of his plans.

"I should think that any man having persevered through several perilous traps in search
of a valuable artifact, and now having passed through a doorway only to be
confronted by a startlingly bare room with the exit in clear sight and no sign of any
trap. Would immediately take it upon himself to devise all manner of stratagem that
could prevent him from reaching his goal. "

Hermione frowned, "So there really wasn't anything in there at all."

"Precisely, Miss Granger. A simple problem is often the most troubling to those who
hold the title of genius. Of course I did cast a 1st year charm that occasionally made
a small noise behind anyone crossing the floor, but that was all."

And so very Jeeves, isn't it?
Yeah it took me forever to think of how he would handle this. One reason I couldn't write
a full fic about this is Jeeves thinks much too subtly. I'd give myself a migraine every
paragraph.

You know... I don't know about other fandoms, but the Naruto fandom has seen quite the upswing in Batman fusion/X-Over fics.

I'm actually quite surprised there hasn't been any threads for a Joker!Harry yet.

This was inspired by one of the shorts in <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2565609/35/Odd_Ideas]Odd Ideas[/url].

This is an AU, with a concept that I don't believe has been done before: a loyal!Marauder!Peter.

Things proceed as normal up until the confrontation with Sirius in the Streaking Shack during year 3.

When Peter is revealed, he is not a whimpering coward. Instead, he is resigned, and looks at Sirius and Remus with defiant resignation.

"Well, then, old friend, get it over with. I deserve it."

Background - Peter was the secret keeper, but he did not go over to the Dark, or give up his secret willingly. Instead, the death eaters captured him, intending to use him to find out who the secret keeper actually was. After several hours of torture, both Cruciatus and a bit of muggle as well, he still has not given up any information. Voldemort, growing impatient, decides to gamble - he puts Peter under Imperious, and then forces him to drink Vertiserum before releasing the Imperious. (Normally this has a fairly good chance of reducing the victim to a vegetable, as well as destroying any information that the mind once held, but he's willing to take that risk.)

To Voldemort's delight, not only did the gamble pay off, but he has his hands on not just a lead to the secret keeper, but the keeper himself, and after getting that information, he heads off to kill the Potters. Canon happens, and in the confusion that the Dark Lord's vanquishing inspires, Peter escapes - only to run directly into Sirius, who screams incoherantly at Peter, and before he can do anything, Sirius fires a rather nasty curse at Peter. Peter manages to block it, just barely, but it causes a spark. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but just below the street, there is a freshly broken gas main, which is ignited. The explosion tears loose Peter's little finger, just as Peter is shifting to rat form. This final shock is too much for Peter, and he looses conciousness in rat form.

Sirius, at this point, pulls his Canon incoherent laughter bit, and is taken away by the Aurors. Peter is found as they are searching the scene, and as he does have a minimal magical signature, he is taken by the department for the Regulation of Magical Creatures. He wakes up there, in a cage far to small for him to escape. There, he overhears two Ministry officials gossiping about "that crazy Dark Wizard, Sirius Black," who has killed poor Peter Pettegrew, and how he was being sent to Azakaban.

Peter then assumes that they are assuming that Black will be found guilty at his trial. (Of course, as per canon, there was no trial - they are talking about his actually transfer.) Once he manages to get loose he realizes his mistake, but by then, it's too late, and Sirius has been sent to Azakaban. Given that he is already dead, Peter doesn't have too many options at this point, and decides that his best bet is to try to see that Sirius is given a trial, and live as a rat until that point. Then appear at the trial, to back Sirius' story. Of course, the little fact that living as a rat would allow him to serve penance for giving up his one of his best friends to the dark lord to be killed doesn't hurt either.

Of course, no one wants to hear of giving Black a trial, so the status quo remains until the beginning year 3.

Any plot holes that I've missed? Not sure if I want to write this or not - but if someone else does, go right ahead.

Edited, because I<s>'m an idiot</s> forgot to check the spelling of a name. ><;

Peter could just show up in the middle of Diagon Alley and announce that he's Peter Pettigrew and tell the whole story OR failing that get in touch with some enemies of the administration and have them publicize it OR failing that contact Dumbledore OR in extremis contact The Quibbler. In short the plot is roughly as watertight as the average HP novel so go ahead and write it. :p

I'm surprised there haven't been any new Sirius/Serious jokes involving the line "Why so serious?" Or if there have been, I haven't seen any yet. Not that I have been looking.

There are a lot of stories where Harry has to have more than one wife and pick who is Lady Potter and who is Lady Black. I have seen Hermione as Lady Potter usually, and Daphne as Lady Black. The obvious choice for Lady Black should be Tonks. Plus it ensures that the title passes on to someone of Black blood at least. Using one of the 'Odd Ideas' of Luna being the niece of Lucius, then he can make her Lady Malfoy. Three wives are better than one or two. Since I can't think of any other titles he can claim somehow, I will limit it to that.

Hmm. What if...Harry's curse scar, received from Voldemort's assault...was more severe? What if...half of his face was severely disfigured? What if he got treated even more like a freak because of it, both by the Dursleys, and by classmates who tend to shun the different? What if he arrived in the wizarding world, only for that scarred face to be a sign of greatness, that of a savior? What if the dichotomy between the two extremes, the expectations of being a hooligan, a monster, and a freak, versus being a hero, a saviour, and a great man...rapidly drove Harry Potter into the depths of madness? If his sorting was decided by the flip of a mental coin? What if he decided to be...both? To be...two-faced?

What if Sirius was in Azkaban...and his sanity didn't hold up quite as well? If he fell deeper and deeper into the world of pranks, thinking whistfully how much better Peter Pettigrew would look with a conjured safe on top of him? What if he began to think clearly about the wizarding world, and saw...that it was hilarious? One big joke? What if, in fact, it was absolutely hilarious? One big joke that no one seemed to get, House Elves, Mudbloods, Purebloods, Voldemort, Death Eaters, Peter, Snape...really. It's hilarious! Besides, what good has being Sirius gotten him? Nowhere! So...why so Sirius?! Hahahahahaha!!!

Possibly two separate notions, perhaps two notions that could fit in the same fic...perhaps with some other altered members of the cast. Perhaps Tonks suffering from a curse or magical incident that messes with her metamorphagus abilities...rendering her into a version of Clayface? Then again, perhaps she'd prefer to take up burglary...as a Catwoman analogue? Though, given the whole filthy rich thing, perhaps Narcissa would be better in that role...letting out her frustration with her husband, son, and all the expectations society throws on her? Hmm, I could see Luna as The Mad Hatter...or Daphne as Poison Ivy...

Still, I'd be interested in just the Twoface!Harry as a fic...especially if he was subtle about it for awhile...kinda like Colonel Cragg from 'Welcome to Tranquility'.

Eh, I have problems believing Hermione could pull of Catwoman, given her initial tendencies to obey authority...regardless of her little polyjuice mishap, unless it wound up permanently altering her personality somehow, or you did some pretty nasty things to her to break her out of that mold early on, say, having Harry in a different house, and then...something else happens because of that. But, really, Catwoman isn't really anywhere near as insane as the other Batman villains...however, I could see her as...

Ventriloquist and Scarface. Just give her a puppet she uses to work out stress with, and...have it take on a murderous life of its own. Though, a mishap with Ginny involving Voldemort's horcrux winding up possessing the body of a puppet somehow could work too...or possibly just a remnant residing in Ginny's subconscious, possibly not even aware of who he used to be, just acting as a separate personality...

Scarecrow. Incorporate a certain level of her always having been overcompensating for certain fears, and if no one rescues her in the troll incident, but she still manages to get alive, if badly injured...perhaps she'll try to...understand...fear. Ku ku ku ku.

Man-Bat. Or Woman-Bat, as the case might be...have her get cursed to turn into some sort of bat monster and you're set. Or just an accident with some polyjuice, maybe?

Poison Ivy. Accident in herbology, or possibly in potions...winds up messing with her head something fierce, making her approximately fifty thousand time hotter, and control over plants. Though, I still prefer Daphne Greengrass in that role, personally.

Clayface. Another accident with polyjuice potion that somehow permanently messes with her morphology...or some other accident.

Have you looked at Scarhead in the previews section?

EDIT: Nevermind, you should still check out Scarhead though.

I can't really think of any villainess that Hermione could be off the top of my head, but most of them are pretty smart so she could be one probably. Harley Quinne is a psychiatrist or something. Blonde, crazy and hot. Why I believe Miss Lovegood would work nicely for that.

Now that I think about it, Poison Ivy was an activist, which does fit Hermione, only a different type. If you make Neville a girl, that could work, but best not to go down that route. Might be possible to just make a male poison ivy, though that isn't much fun.

Since these are all enemies of Batman, he needs to be around in some form. Who is most associated with a bat? Snivellous! Who said the 'hero' had to be good, and the 'villains' bad?

Tonks would make a good clayface though. Not much needs to change, just have her normal form get messed up somehow so she is always in a disguise.
