''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11669575/1/For-Love-of-Magic For Love of Magic]]'' by Noodlehammer is a complete ''Literature/HarryPotter'' {{Fanfic}} in which after too many burst of accidental magic, the Dursleys decide to leave Harry at an orphanage. A [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13034223/1/A-Discordant-Note sequel]] crossover with ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has been finished, and a second [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13701065/1/Metagaming sequel]] which is a crossover with ''Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft'' is in progress.

* Magitek: Harry alchemically creates a room temperature superconductor (which he names [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Saronite]]), though to control the supply he designs it such that it's ruined if melted and it breaks instead of bending, meaning saronite has to be transfigured into the required shape for any given machine.

* RealityEnsues:
** Because Lupin agonizes for so long over whether he should introduce himself to Harry, when he finally does, Harry treats him as an acquaintance at best and a friend of Sirius' at worst. Knowing a friend of his parents would be nice to talk to but Lupin clearly must not value them that much if he never once contacted Harry and then spent nearly a year between meeting Harry and mentioning his past relationship with James.
** Krum's plan to deal with his dragon (in this story, all of them are Hungarian Horntails) by [[EyeScream blinding it]] results in his death when he gets too close to the thrashing creature.
** Tonks breaks up with Harry after learning he's been accidentally brainwashing her with the same magic that he used to improve his sex life. While she does try to continue their relationship, she simply can't stay with someone who she can't trust, especially as there's no way for her to know he's doing it. [[spoiler:They eventually get back together when he teaches her The Joining as well since knowing it makes one immune to its effects]].
** Harry's desire to simply be left out of politics and not deal with Voldemort... involves a lot of politics. Whether he likes it or not, he's both an international icon and extremely wealthy on top of being nobility. All together, he has to play the political game if he actually wants to be left alone because no one will allow him to simply sit on the sidelines.
** A potion that makes sex more enjoyable and severely increases "discharge" also tends to leave the users too tired to continue. Even Harry, who has a ridiculous amount of stamina, notes that a single orgasm makes him feel like he "just went six rounds with Fleur at her randiest". Also, overuse of the potion can lead to dehydration.
** To Ginny's horror, being close to TheHero, even tangentially, can make you and your family a target. Because Harry doesn't have anyone he cares about (or family of those he cares about) not living on his island Spellhaven, Voldemort kidnaps the Weasleys after hearing a rumor that Ginny is his latest concubine.
*** As Voldemort learns, rumors are not a good source of information and taking hostages only works if your opponent cares about their survival. Likewise, if your enemy knows negotiations won't be held in good faith, they won't agree to your terms. When Voldemort demands Harry come alone or the Weasleys will die, Harry not only has his girls hiding nearby, even as he arrives at the meeting point he's already determining the best way to tell Ginny her family's dead.
** When Voldemort attacks London with a force of Inferi and Giants, the Statute of Secrecy is completely obliterated and no matter how much the International Confederation of Wizards tries, there's simply no putting a lid on the situation. Not only are there easily tens of thousands of witnesses, but many of them have posted photos and videos online, causing millions more witnesses by the end of the night.
** Because cities can only store at most three days worth of food at a time, once [[spoiler:Harry wipes out all technology with magic]], large cities fall into complete chaos in only a couple days.

* BloodMagic: Some of the most powerful magic, including creating a {{Geas}}, relies on blood of either the caster and/or the target, with willfully given blood being the most powerful of all.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Because Veela need sex and magic to survive, they think nothing of public orgies, even between family members, and have been known to accidentally destroy marriages since what they view as a bit of fun and a meal, their partners wives see as infidelity. After figuring out how to create liquid magic, Harry quickly learns to keep it away from Fleur when she tries to kill him to get it in a feral frenzy. Perhaps best exemplified with Harry's Veela daughter Victoire who sees nothing wrong with being gangbanged by her half-brothers but is {{Squick}}ed out at the idea of having romantic feelings for them.

* [[BurnTheWitch Burn the Wizard Child]]: Subverted with the orphanage's matron, who correctly guesses that Harry's powers are witchcraft but does not make try to murder him.

* [[GoSeduceMyArchnemesis Go Seduce My Son's Archnemesis]]: After [[spoiler:Lucius death at Harry's hands]], Narcissa attempts to ingratiate herself with Harry in the hope of keeping him from politically (and possibly physically) destroying herself and Draco ([[spoiler:Well, Draco just had to annoy Harry, who is practically the former's namesake compared to all but the most powerful individuals, one too many times, with predictably fatal results.]]), with full understanding that a teenager like him would likely demand sex. Harry accepts and turns it back on her via HeelFaceBrainwashing. [[spoiler:She, over a period of a few months, becomes his loyal mistress and eventual political envoy.]]
** Her non-evil relatives (i.e. Nym and Andromeda) all agree that her post-mental transformation made her a much more pleasant person to be around.

* Magitek: Harry alchemically creates a room temperature superconductor (which he names [[Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft Saronite]]), though to control the supply he designs it such that it's ruined if melted and it breaks instead of bending, meaning saronite has to be transfigured into the required shape for any given machine.

* [[TheMistress Mistresses]]: Narcissa, Septima, and in an somewhat unconventional way, [[spoiler:Adrastia by the near end of the story. While the relationship between them cannot called real love, Adrastia willingly follows him, due to having access to a steady supply of immortality elixir, having protection and freedom to operate side schemes under his considerable protection, and the great sex.]] He also has numerous other flings, but none of those hold much emotional meaning, at least for him.

* [[PetMonstrosity Pet Black Widow]]: What [[spoiler:Adrastia]] becomes for Harry near the end of the story, now that [[spoiler:he has magically tied her fate to his via a blood-based geas]]. He lets [[spoiler:her have mostly free reign over her various machinations and social engineering schemes]], as long as they do not negatively impact his own.

* PowerPerversionPotential: While many Harry Potter stories bring up Tonks' Metamorph powers, ''For Love of Magic'' takes it further than most by having her changing into fictional characters such as ComicBook/LadyDeath and [[Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft Tyrande Whisperwind]]

* PsychoactivePowers: In large part, a wizard's ability to use magic is based on their confidence that they can use it.

* [[RealMenLoveJesus Real Women Love Jesus]]: The matron at Harry's orphanage is very religious and is displeased by Harry's magical powers.

-->'''Harry:''' Your mother was from Africa?
-->'''Adrastia:''' Where else do you think I got my lovely black skin?
-->'''Harry:''' I figured you were born white and then turned black when the color of your heart started leaking through.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Luna sleeps in the nude, even when she's sharing a bed with Harry and/or Tonks. She also bathes with Harry and wants to watch him and Tonks have sex, all with nothing sexual about it on her end.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Harry spends a few years looking older than he actually is due to using runes to age himself faster, only to have to use more to stop it because by 13, he was six feet tall and had to shave daily. That he then creates a Hyperbolic Time Chamber only ages him further until at 18, he's aged to roughly 26.

** The Death Eaters and other Voldemort sympathisers also eventually, but quickly, realise that Harry is no naive hero. [[spoiler:They eventually catch on to the fact that it is Harry who has been operating like a one-man mafia and making them disappear, only for them to usually to end up in his dungeon as horrific science experiments.]]

* [[GoSeduceMyArchnemesis Go Seduce My Son's Archnemesis]]: After [[spoiler:Lucius death at Harry's hands]], Narcissa attempts to ingratiate herself with Harry in the hope of keeping him from politically (and possibly physically) destroying her and Draco ([[spoiler:Well, Draco just had to annoy Harry, who is practically the former's namesake compared to all but the most powerful individuals, one too many times, with predictably fatal results.]], with full understanding that a teenager like him would likely demand sex. Harry accepts and turns it back on her via HeelFaceBrainwashing. [[spoiler:She, over a period of a few months, becomes his loyal mistress and eventual political envoy.]]

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Harry theorizes that Tonks increased aggressiveness and attraction to women (years prior she only had minor interest and she's now fully bisexual) is due to her granting herself male genitals with increasing frequency (as part of kinky sex games with Fleur) which is messing with her hormones.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Harry is unapologetically prejudiced against Africa and the Middle East due to what he sees as a disgusting lack of enlightenment/knowledge in said regions and holds a burning hatred for religion as it "not only promotes ignorance but spreads false knowledge".

** The Death Eaters and other Voldemort sympathisers also eventually, but quickly, realise that Hadrian is no naive hero. [[spoiler:They eventually catch on to the fact that it is Hadrian who has been operating like a one-man mafia and making them disappear, only for them to usually to end up in his dungeon as horrific science experiments.]]

* [[GoSeduceMyArchnemesis Go Seduce My Son's Archnemesis]]: After [[spoiler:Lucius death at Harry's hands]], Narcissa attempts to ingratiate herself with Harry in the hope of keeping him from politically (and possibly physically) destroying her and Draco ([[spoiler:Well, Draco just had to annoy Hadrian, who is practically the former's namesake compared to all but the most powerful individuals, one too many times, with predictably fatal results.]], with full understanding that a teenager like him would likely demand sex.

* CallBack: [[spoiler:Hermione is killed by the troll in Chapter 2]], over fifty chapters later, her death is used against the magical world after [[TheUnmasquedWorld the Statute of Secrecy is irreparably broken]].

*** As Voldemort learns, rumors are not a good source of information and taking hostages only works if your opponent cares about their survival. Likewise, if your enemy knows negotations won't be held in good faith, they won't agree to your terms. When Voldemort demands Harry come alone or the Weasleys will die, Harry not only has his girls hiding nearby, even as he arrives at the meeting point he's already determining the best way to tell Ginny her family's dead.

* ReallyGetsAround: Harry sleeps with a surprising amount of women over the course of the story, with them being anywhere from one night stands to longterm lovers. in the epilogue, Adrastia claims she could follow Harry and Luna's travels throughout the world by "following the trail of black haired, green-eyed children".

** Naturally a chamber made with temporal magics to cause YearInsideDayOutside is called the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Hyperbolic Time Chamber]].

* [[PetMonstrosity Pet Black Widow]]: What [[spoiler:Adrastia]] becomes to Harry near the end of the story, now that [[spoiler:he has magically tied her fate to his via a blood-based geas]]. He lets [[spoiler:her have mostly free reign over her various machinations and social engineering schemes]], as long as they do not negatively impact his own.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Harry uses captured/kidnapped Death Eaters for HumanExperimentation as part of whatever project he's currently working on. It's never a question of if they'll survive, but how long they'll survive since if they're still alive after Harry's done with one experiment, he'll simply use them for another one.

* {{Magitek}}: Harry alchemically creates a room temperature superconductor (which he names [[Videogame/WorldOfWarcraft Saronite]]), though to control the supply he designs it such that it's ruined if melted and it breaks instead of bending, meaning saronite has to be transfigured into the required shape for any given machine.

Because Harry doesn't have anyone he cares about (or family of those he cares about) that don't live on his island Spellhaven, Voldemort kidnaps the Weasleys after hearing a rumor that Ginny is his latest concubine.

*** Once Harry manages to buy her loyalty, Adrastia does her damnedest to help him succeed since her fate is now tied to his.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Harry is perfectly content with trading a love potion with a skin walker as the price for learning how to skin walk from the latter, despite nothing good can come out of someone using a rape drug. Predictably, the skin walker gets a mundane woman, whom he had been stalking, this way, and later has children with her.]]
** The author tries to [[spoilr:hand-wave Harry's direct abiding of this crime by stating that the woman eventually came to love her rapist, and trying to fix the situation would be family-unfriendly.]]

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: While introducing the women in his life to [[spoiler:a muggle reporter he's explaining the magical world to]], Harry gets a kick out of remarking how all of them are his lovers ''except'' his SexySecretary Penny.
