It could be a new character. For example, a young wizard from a far - off land who comes to Hogwarts specifically to find the hidden blade. He has his own set of skills and knowledge about the blade that no one else at Hogwarts has.
The plot could revolve around a hidden blade that was created by a powerful and forgotten wizard. In the fanfiction, the blade has the power to control certain magical elements. A group of dark wizards wants to get their hands on it to use it for evil purposes. Harry Potter accidentally stumbles upon information about the blade and starts his own investigation. Along the way, he meets some new allies who are also interested in protecting the blade. Together, they must face many challenges, including duels with the dark wizards, to keep the blade safe and use its power to bring peace to the wizarding world.
It could be a rogue ninja who was once part of the same clan that the hidden blade belongs to. He wants the blade back to gain ultimate power and is willing to do anything to get it from Naruto.
A lesser - known character like Ernie Macmillan from Hufflepuff could be the main character. As a prefect, he could bring out the unique qualities of Hufflepuff house. He might have to deal with issues like other houses underestimating Hufflepuff students. His story could focus on how he promotes the values of hard work, loyalty, and fairness within the house and the school as a whole.
Hermione could be a great main character. She's curious and intelligent, so she would be really interested in exploring the secrets of the diary. She could use her vast knowledge of magic to try and figure out how the diary works and what secrets it holds.
Harry Potter himself could be the main character as a revenant. Maybe he has some unresolved issues from his past, like his relationship with his parents. His revenant form could be on a journey to fully understand their sacrifice and his own place in the wizarding world's history.
It could be a younger sibling of one of the main characters in the original series. For example, Ginny's little sister who has big shoes to fill but also a great passion for Quidditch.
Hermione could be a great main character in an elementalist fanfiction. Her intelligence and thirst for knowledge would make her eager to learn about and master elemental magic. She could be the one to discover a long - lost elemental spell book and start exploring the powers.
It could be a new student at Hogwarts who has a natural talent for dealing with beasts. This student could be from a family that has always had an affinity for magical creatures but has kept it a secret until now.
A Muggle - born mouse. It could be a unique concept where a mouse from the Muggle world somehow ends up in the wizarding world. It would be interesting to see how it copes with all the magic and the rules of the wizarding society.
Neville could also be a main character in this type of fanfiction. He could stumble upon a clockwork - related mystery in the Hogwarts gardens. Maybe there are some clockwork - powered plants that are acting strange. Neville, with his new - found confidence, takes it upon himself to solve the mystery and in the process, uncovers a deeper secret about Hogwarts and its connection to clockwork magic.
