1''[[http://fanfics.me/serie366 Harry Potter and the Niceness and Merriment]]'' is a series of AU one-shot fanfics written in Russian by [[http://fanfics.me/user42872 Кой]]. A kinder Dursley family raises Harry into a worthy rival for the Weasley twins and an enthusiast who can blow Hogwarts up in his experiments if only given the possibility. Well, he certainly turns the school upside down, sometimes literally… HilarityEnsues as soon as [=McGonagall=] arrives to bring Harry his letter.

11!! ''Harry Potter and the Niceness and Merriment'' contain examples of:
12
13* AdaptationalHeroism: The Dursleys (that's what triggers the whole plot), but other unpleasant guys catch on quickly.
14* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Quirrell gives a practical lesson on Dark curses, destructive forms, and using Reducto to write foul words.
15* BigEater: Harry. He does a lot of exercise (mostly running) and is naturally thin, so Petunia Dursley doesn't know where to hide the candy.
16* CondescendingCompassion: When Harry gets Sorted into Slytherin, [=McGonagall=] presents Snape with a bottle of valerian.
17* EveryScarHasAStory: Harry has a whole collection of scars because he always runs too fast and sometimes forgets to turn or bumps into things. He remembers how he got each one – and is proud of it.
18* LoveRedeems: Dolores Umbridge gets nicer and nicer as her romance with Quirrell progresses.
19* NotWhatItLooksLike: What [=McGonagall=] took for the canon Harry Hunting was in fact a peaceful game of hide-and-seek.
20* ReasonBeforeHonor: As she's fed up with the Weasley twins and Jordan already, [=McGonagall=] decides to forget her Gryffindor code of honor for a while and plots with all her might to get Harry somewhere else. It works.
21* RightForTheWrongReasons: Just as [=McGonagall=] assumed, Harry sleeps in a cupboard under the stairs. Because his chemical lab is there and he is too engrossed in work to leave it.
22* SustainedMisunderstanding: Because it's [=McGonagall=] and not Hagrid who visits Harry, Harry believes Hagrid to be the troll they have to wrestle to be Sorted.
23* TookALevelInKindness: Everyone, but particularly Umbridge.
24-->'''Entry 4''': Trelawney's a horrible charlatan. [=McGonagall=]'s still the same old hag as before. Ooh, I won't forget that zero for Transfiguration!
25-->'''Entry 24''': Sybil predicted I'll soon fall in love. Tomorrow we're going to Hogsmeade with Quirrell, I'll have to loan that hairpin from Minnie…
26* WackyMarriageProposal: We never know if it was intended as one, but it certainly started as one…
27-->Yesterday Quirnie stood on one knee before me and confessed that he's Voldemort. The Calming Draught really helps.
