Harry Potter and the Next Overlord
(#) zlazar 2011-04-10
Great start to the fic, I've always liked Overlord crossovers. As for the fifth hive I guess you could go for the obvious route. Make it so House Elves were once part of a Hive but maybe it got stolen or hidden long ago by wizards during a fight with a previous Overlord. Without a Hive to draw energy from they had to bond to wizards or die out.
As for their powers you can either keep them as they are (meaning magical house keepers) or make it so their current powers are the product of the energy they get from wizards whereas they have a different set of powers with the energy from their Hive. Which might make it an interesting choice for the elves in question, do they keep what they have and just bond to Harry (since he's a wizard) or do they re-bond themselves to their Hive and loose magic? Maybe have the elves split factions with some doing each.
With the Hive species being the elves it could also allow you to tie Hermione to Harry's cause in a round about way. I could see Hermione finding out about the elves origins in a book and deciding to try and find a way to get the hive back so the elves can "live free". Maybe have her go into a research binge and not telling anyone about what shes working on as it would be against the law if she actually did find a way to free the elves.
Could add a bit of mystery to things with Harry trying to find the Hive and trying to figure out why Hermione is being so secretive.
Anyway sorry for the ramble. Thats all I can think of right now anyway. Its late and I'm getting tired. Keep up the good work.Author's response
Thanks for the reply. Personally, I don't see the house-elves related to the Minions, despite their common appearance. Thanks for the idea, though, and I'll keep you updated as often as I canHarry Potter and the Next Overlord

Awesome!
Big fan of the game.

I'll give it a shot and see where it goes, I usually shy away from new stories unless they are from well known fic-writers because of the one or two chapters and quit epidemic that seems to be going around. But any way good start hope to see more soon.Author's response
I promise it's not going to be abandoned; in fact I already have a few more chapters written out that I'm just waiting to publish so it helps keep me near the top of the search page. O:) I may even throw my original novel up too, if I'm feeling daring.Harry Potter and the Next Overlord

I can see Harry being a Dominating overlord. He's too fond of doing the right thing and helping people to go around destroying everything.
It will be easier to corrupt Harry by deceiving him into thinking he's helping people, and sometimes he just needs to control the situation. Say, let Gnarl let him use the minions as a force of good, but keep whispering into Harry's ear the things he could do if he used them to "help" out this cause or that cause, and gradually turn Harry into a dominating overlord.
