I really like the fanfic where Harry is raised by McGonagall called 'McGonagall's Charge'. It shows how McGonagall's no - nonsense attitude shapes Harry. She instills in him a great sense of discipline and loyalty early on. It also delves into how the wizarding world perceives this unusual upbringing, which adds an interesting layer to the story.
One interesting 'Harry is raised by McGonagall' fanfiction could be 'A Different Start'. In it, McGonagall takes on the role of a mother figure very seriously. She teaches Harry about magic in a more traditional and strict way, which makes for a really unique take on his character development.
One great fanfiction on this topic is 'The Black Heir'. It delves deep into how Sirius would have raised Harry with a perfect blend of love and magic training. It shows Sirius teaching Harry about the Marauders' secrets and how to handle the challenges of the wizarding world from a different perspective than Dumbledore.
Another plotline could involve how McGonagall deals with Harry's fame. Since she's very no - nonsense, she might shield Harry from the public eye more effectively. This could lead to a Harry who is less influenced by the adoration and more focused on his studies and personal growth.
One great fanfiction could be 'McGonagall's Protege'. In this story, Minerva McGonagall takes on an even more motherly role towards Harry. She helps him not only with his magic studies but also in dealing with the emotional turmoil of growing up without his parents. It shows how her strict yet loving nature can have a profound impact on Harry's development.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Marauder's Influence'. In this story, Sirius raises Harry with all the love and values of the Marauders. Harry grows up to be confident and strong, and he has a great bond with Sirius. He also gets to learn a lot about his parents through Sirius' stories, which helps him in his journey at Hogwarts.
There's also 'A Different Childhood for Harry'. This fanfic imagines Harry being raised by a muggle family in a completely different cultural setting. It's interesting to see how his Hogwarts experience is affected by his non - traditional upbringing. For example, he has a different view on house - elves due to his more egalitarian muggle background.
One popular fanfiction with this concept might be 'The Unthinkable' (this is just an example, not an actual well - known title with this exact plot). In many such fanfictions, it explores how Snape's personality would influence Harry's upbringing. Snape, being strict yet intelligent, could instill in Harry a different set of values compared to the Dursleys or even Dumbledore's influence in the original series.
One popular one is 'The Girl Who Lived'. It really delves into how a female Harry would interact with Snape in a father - like role. The story shows her growing up under his tutelage, learning magic in a different way compared to the original Harry. Snape's character is also well - developed, showing his complex feelings towards this female version of Harry.
One great fanfiction in this genre is 'A New Beginning' where McGonagall steps in to rescue Harry from his abusive relatives. It beautifully shows how she nurtures him and helps him grow in confidence.
I don't recommend seeking out 'lemon' fanfiction in general. It usually involves adult and inappropriate content. Instead, you could look for well - written, non - inappropriate fanfiction about Harry and McGonagall that focuses on their mentor - mentee relationship or their interactions within the Hogwarts setting.
I'm not sure of a specific title, but in general, such a fanfic might focus on how Hermione's intelligence and strong - willed nature would interact with the strict and often secretive Black family values. She could bring new perspectives to the family, while also being influenced by their pure - blood heritage. Maybe there's a fic where she discovers hidden Black family magic with Arcturus's guidance.
