Alternate Vh Universes, EVERYONE POST

[Morgan Madding]

The Alumni Register gave me an idea, and I'm hoping everyone will play along and confess their Alternate VH Universe visions of what their character turned out to be. This means that if we totally disregard VH canon and HP canon, what might have happened to your character?

I want to hear from current alumn, current students who imagine thier character all grown up, or even if you have another character who went inactive and never made it to alum, what would have happened to them in your most mary-sue universe ever?

And I mean everything. If you once pretended that your character was secretly Harry Potter's Long lost twin-sister, I want to hear it! If you once wrote a paragraph for fun where your character married Draco Malfoy, I want to know! Even if you wondered for a split second what would have happened if your character had been in a different house, let me know! Or maybe it's something as simple as continuing a ship with a friend who went inactive. The more embarassing ones are more fun, but anything can work.

I promise not to get offended if you make Morgan your nerdy little sister that you tease all the time in your Alternate Universe, so I hope others feel safe enough on VHOT to know that Alternate Unverses are alternate for a reason, and we mean no disrespect to you or your Vh character. This is totally for fun.

Post the character's name , what really happened to them (if anything), a synopsis of your might-have-happened, and then a short fanfic (rp length) in the world where anything has happened to your character. If you have more than one Alternate Universe per character, feel free to post as many times as you like (or multiple in one post).

[Morgan Madding]

Okay, I'll start then. :) So embarrassing. LOL.

Character: Morgan Madding

Reality: Graduated from Hogwarts, Gryffindor House. Went to auror school, got engaged to a muggle named Darien, breeds kneazles for a hobby.

Might Have Been Synopsis: Morgan is an auror, and engaged to muggle med student Darien, but in this universe, Lazarus Oakenbow her old flame/current nemesis is a DE! He kills Darien, and then, in a series of amazing duels, Morgan kills Lazarus, but not before she realizes that he is the father of her unborn child! Darien leaves her and then Janus Sparhawk, the minister of magic, rescues her and takes her to Matt Hamblin's Gryffin Farm where she reunites with her old friend and they get married and have babies who are all Gryffindor except for the oldest...who is a slytherin, taking after his real father!

Alternate Universe Fic: Showdown

Morgan stood in garden at Hogwarts, the unseasonal roses gaping cheerfully at her from the hedges. The sun was shining brightly even as it sunk between the mountains and the lake behind her, but Morgan's heart was a frozen against the beauty. She hadn't slept in days, and her feet ached, her back ached, her head ached. Her eyes stung, though they were dry. She had chased Lazarus through hell and high water, and they had ended here, ironically. He stood before her, his gleaming black hair only slightly mussed, his robes dirtied, his face sweaty. Cold blue eyes studied her, and Morgan knew he was underestimating her, eyes trained on her face except for the occasional traitorous flick to her still-flat stomach.

Morgan knew he wouldn't kill her, and that was the only thing that kept her going. He was ordered to kill her, but until she was parted from his not-yet-born son, there was no way he would. Morgan knew him better than that. Selfish Lazarus, he wouldn't get rid of something he wanted so easily, but neither would he give up on pursuing it.

"I don't suppose you remember that this was the place that we had our first kiss, do you Morgan?"

"The irony has not escaped me," Morgan said, gritting her teeth and clutching her wand. She pointed it at Lazarus with one hand steady, the other unconsously cradling her middle.

Lazarus raised his own wand and bowed, as if they were about to begin a normal duel. Even with the rumpled hair and robes, he was still dashingly handsome. But Morgan, mad with grief about Darien's death, didn't even notice. Lazarus settled back into a comfortable dueler's stance.

"Are you done running then?" Morgan asked, her own stance settling back.

"I've run out of places to go. I'm a man in the middle--my people don't want me unless you're dead, you're people don't want me until I'm dead. It's quite a conundrum."

"I won't let either of them have you. I want you for myself. For my own vengeance. I want you dead," Morgan spat. Wordlessly, she threw a spell at him, which he blocked silently, stumbling backwards only a few steps. The power behind Morgan's curse was astounding, fueled by her anger and greif. "You did this to me--you took away everything that I loved, everything that I wanted." Tears streaked down from her stinging eyes.

"Morgan, really? I didn't kill that muggle to vex you, I killed him because he was in the way. Nothing personal."

"Well this is personal!" she flung another hex at him, stronger than the last, which he blocked, but before he could recover she flung another, which slashed him across the shoulder, baring blood and bone. Lazarus winced, but Morgan kept coming, her wand slashing at him with vigour, opening slashes across his arms and legs. Lazarus backed away, and then finally flung up a shield charm to keep her at bay. Morgan was a little too late in her response time, and one of her own hexes rebounded back on her, opening a deep cut on her wand arm.

"You won't kill me," Lazarus said, but his voice wasn't as easy as earlier. "You can't kill the father of your own child. And besides, you'll get the boot from the auror office for murder. Heck, you may even go to Azkaban."

[Chance Carter]

I'll play. But pretend I'm mumbling all of this because Andie's making me post it even though she's pining over me.

Character: Chance Carter

Reality: Graduated from Hogwarts, inevitably Slytherin, took over family business, married Bahh Ortiz, had fifty bajillion children, keeled his daddy.

Might Have Been Synopsis: Only the true old skool VHers will remember Chandie. Chance and Andie ran around the castle, snogging everywhere in secret even though they truly despised one another. We'd plotted that after graduation, Andie was forced to work for Chance because her plans for her future hadn't worked out. He'd bribed her and was just too irresistible for her to say no to. Then this distant uncle of his died and said that Chance couldn't have his millions unless he got married and stayed that way for at least a year. Because he was greedy but wasn't into marrying anyone else, he somehow saw Andie as an option and told her she could have a million galleons if she married him for a year, after which point they'd get divorced. Except they fell in love and didn't divorce after all. Then they had a couple of kids and lived happily ever after or whatever.

Not only were Chance and Andie together in this universe, but Iris Miller was married to a whack job of a DE and they had a kid, Jared, together. And Ben Kennedy was married to Rory Miller and had a kid as well. It was good times until I bailed becausse Chance got a DE beat down that knocked some sense into him. Haha. That's why Andie pines for me :P

Alternate Universe Fic: This isn't a fic, it's a post of mine from a thread we had.

A day at the zoo - the Muggle zoo - with his children. His and Andie's children. And the zoo. Fifteen years ago, he would've killed a person if they'd even hinted at such a thing. He'd probably even kill them if they hinted it now. Heh.

There wasn't much difference between Chance before fatherhood and Chance after his children were born. At least none that he was aware of. He still hated people, and going places, and God, and Andie - Just kidding about that last part. But he did happen to favour his children’s company over anyone who wasn't Andie. Even Iris, Rory, and Ben didn't compare. They were really wonderful kids.

Because they were Carters.

Chance had mostly agreed to take the kids on this outing because great rewards were in store for him for doing so. At least, that was how Andie had made it seem. They couldn't really talk about such things in front of the kids, even if the kids had no idea what the hell they were talking about. It just seemed weird. So when Andie gave him "the look", he'd finally caved. But Andie was a sneaky one sometimes. That look probably could've meant anything.

He'd been leaving the mansion with Melina and William in tow when who should appear? Iris. With Jared. Chance knew it wasn't going to be good news the moment he saw her and the kid, and he was right. She'd thrown Jared into the mix without explanation - not without a few choice words from Chance -, and now he had three brats to babysit while their mums had fun. Alone. No kids. Happy time for them!

They'd actually had quite a good time at the zoo, despite Jared's constant blabbing about some weirdo Quidditch player he'd met called Bleeker or something. It was bloody annoying, really. The kid had to be on some constant sugar high or something. He never quit.

Chance explained to the children that most of these animals were filthy creatures, and the wizarding world had much better animals to offer. They grinned and took in everything he said. That was probably why he liked these kids so much. Impressionable little buggers.

And they'd had quite a laugh when William, little William of only four years old, pointed at a gorilla and said, "Iris!" Jared didn't find it too funny, but Chance told him to take it like a man, that there'd be plenty more insults in his lifetime, and if he acted like a baby with every one of them, he'd never amount to anything in life.

Yeah. Chance was a good role model.

They'd left the zoo after they'd seen everything there was to see. Chance was beginning to feel a bit irritated, and his kids had probably sensed it, judging by the way they'd quieted down. Not Jared, though. Jared was a menace. The only reason Chance was tolerating it was because he was talking about how awesome snakes were.

"They've got those cool tongues that come out and are like, woo wooo..." Jared stuck his tongue out as he animatedly mimicked a snake.

The former Slytherin rolled his eyes. He didn't remember being that idiotic when he was a kid. Glancing down at Melina and William, he smiled, knowing they'd never make a snake go, "woo wooo."

"...And they crawl on the ground and in trees!"

"They don't crawl, Jared. They slither," Chance corrected. The boy nodded and started to skip around, grabbing Melina's hand and tugging her along with him. He sincerely hoped the two didn't have a thing later on in life. They were rather close.

Chance looked down at William, who was walking quietly next to him, staring blankly ahead. He smiled inwardly - the boy reminded him so much of himself, despite his looking so much like Andie -, then nudged him in the shoulder with his hand.

"Are you tired, son?" William looked up and nodded and Chance reached down, picking him up, vaguely wondering why he felt so warm. William automatically wrapped his hands around Chance's neck and rested his head against his shoulder. It had been a long day for him.

Watching Jared and Melina skip up the path to the Carter mansion, he followed behind with William and finally reached the front door. Opening it, Jared and Melina ran off inside to the living room and he stepped in, finding Andie sitting on the steps, and on the phone.

He decided he should put William down for a little nap, giving Andie the chance to get off the phone and give him some attention. Stepping past Andie, poking her in the head as he passed, he reached William's room and placed him in bed. He was already half asleep. With a light touch of his forehead - definitely warm - he walked back down the stairs, taking a seat behind Andie on the fourth step.

"I think William's sick," he whispered to his wife. Glancing into the living room where Jared and Melina were, he saw the boy playing with one of Chance's bottles of booze. It was empty, but still. What the hell was this boy on?

"Jared, put that down!"

Ta daa.
