History Fanfic / SevenFavoursForHarryPotter

** A sort of PutOnABus variant occurs with the Black family. It's specifically stated that Sirius, Narcissa and Andromeda are the only ones left of the family and that the rest of them (including Bellatrix, Regulus, Walburga and Orion) "vanished without a trace" while Sirius was still at Hogwarts, because the Spring Court dissovered that they'd been mistreating their house-elves. In true Fae fashion, the entire family was punished whether they were involved in the mistreatment or not -- the only reason Sirius and Narcissa were spared was that they were at Hogwarts at the time and the Fae were forbidden from hostile actions towards Hogwarts... and Andromeda was spared because she'd been disowned for falling in love with a Muggle-born and was no longer part of the Black family. This means that Bellatrix and Regulus never became Death Eaters in this AU; Voldemort even mentions to Lady Vidia how the House of Black "would have made such ''excellent'' followers" if she and the Spring Court hadn't meddled.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Minor case, but Hagrid's goals for hatching a dragon egg are much nobler here: in canon he just wanted a pet dragon even though that turned out to be a really bad idea, while in this fic he's trying to save the unhatched dragon's life, as the dragon egg here comes from Faerie and is dying from lack of Fae magic. The only way to save it is to get Jenny and a number of Fae friends to perform a life-saving ritual, hatch the egg and raise the baby dragon until it's strong up until it's strong enough to survive the trip to Faerie. Luckily this baby dragon is far less troublesome than the canon one.

** Luna Lovegood first appears in chapter 14, which takes place between Harry's first and second year, rather than not being seen at all until Harry's fifth year.

--> Neon pink, polka-dotted stockings, but no shoes or even a shirt. Lime green, chequered shorts that were at least three sizes too big and held up by a large, silver-studded belt. On one hand, a leather driving glove in electric blue; and on the other hand, a fuzzy, hot pink mitten with a pom-pom dangling from the cuff. Completing the ensemble was a fuchsia bowtie adorned with glittering sequins, which sat crookedly around his neck, and a pair of oversized, heart-shaped sunglasses that covered half the elf's face.
