How does Harry Potter befriend the Basilisk in fanfiction?

Harry could start by showing kindness. He may save the basilisk from a dangerous situation, like when it's being attacked by other magical creatures or when it's trapped. Then, through his Parseltongue skills, he can have a real conversation with it, explaining that he wants to be friends and that they don't have to be enemies.

Well, in many fanfictions, Harry might use a combination of his existing skills and newfound powers. He could use his Parseltongue ability to communicate and perhaps distract the Basilisk, and then strike it with the Sword of Gryffindor. Another way could be that he uses some sort of spell he's been secretly practicing that gives him an edge in the fight.

Well, it might be related to his connection with the Dark Lord. Since Voldemort was able to control the basilisk before, and Harry has a unique connection to Voldemort through the scar. This connection could be manipulated in some way in the fanfiction, allowing Harry to take over the control of the basilisk from Voldemort.

In some fanfics, the basilisk can be a source of great power for Harry. He might absorb some of its magic or gain a special ability after a close encounter with it.

I know of one where Harry Potter uses a special charm to defeat the basilisk in Hogsmead. But the details are quite complex.

The story could develop with Harry trying to figure out how to turn back. He might search for ancient spells or magical artifacts that can reverse the transformation.

The character development in such fanfiction often starts with the hybrid's discovery of its own identity. It may struggle between its human - like side (from Harry) and its serpentine nature (from the basilisk).

Yes, there might be. The Harry Potter fandom is vast and diverse, with fans exploring all kinds of creative ideas. An animagus is a wizard or witch who can transform into an animal. While the idea of Harry being a Basilisk animagus is quite out - of - the - box, it's not beyond the realm of fanfiction creativity.

In some fanfictions, the Basilisk might be re - imagined as a misunderstood creature. For example, it was only acting on instinct or under some dark magic's control. A story could focus on a group of students who discover this truth and attempt to rehabilitate the Basilisk, facing many challenges along the way from those who fear the Basilisk's deadly gaze.

The basilisk eyes in Harry Potter fanfiction often symbolize death and petrification. Some fanfictions might explore what would happen if someone managed to resist the petrifying power of the eyes through some unique magic or strong will. It could lead to interesting character development as they face this deadly threat.
