In this fanfiction, Harry could be chosen by some magical force or artifact to become Merlin's apprentice. As he delves deeper into this role, he starts to uncover secrets about the wizarding world's past and how Merlin's magic has influenced it. He might use this new knowledge to fight against new threats to the wizarding world, all while trying to balance his normal Hogwarts life and this new, ancient form of magic training.
Well, it could be about Harry Potter discovering some long - lost magic that was once taught by Merlin. Maybe he stumbles upon an ancient spellbook or a hidden place where Merlin's teachings are preserved.
The fanfiction might focus on Harry's journey as an apprentice of Merlin. He could be learning new forms of magic that are different from what he learned at Hogwarts. For example, Merlin - style magic could be more nature - based or have different incantations. He might also meet new characters who are related to Merlin's time and have to face challenges specific to that era of magic.
Perhaps the fanfic's plot involves a character who is unknowingly Merlin's apprentice. They start having strange dreams about Merlin guiding them. As they explore these dreams, they learn skills like time - traveling magic which Merlin was known for. They then use this ability to go back in time and change certain events in the wizarding world's history for the better, all while trying to keep it a secret from the other Hogwarts students and faculty.
Maybe the story could revolve around Harry being Ollivander's apprentice during a time of great danger in the wizarding world. As an apprentice, he has access to Ollivander's secrets and knowledge. He uses this to his advantage when fighting against dark forces. For example, he might learn how to repair broken wands quickly, which becomes a crucial skill during battles when wands are often damaged.
One possible plot could be that the elven apprentice brings a new perspective to Merlin's magic. Maybe the apprentice has unique elven magic that Merlin has to learn about, and together they face threats to Camelot that are related to the elven realm. For example, a dark force is trying to break the peace between Camelot and the elves, and they use their combined powers of human and elven magic to stop it.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself. And there could be Dumbledore, who might guide Harry in this new path related to Merlin. Also, Hermione and Ron could be there, either helping Harry or being a bit skeptical about this new adventure.
In this fanfiction, Harry as an apprentice of Naga Sadow might be on a journey to discover the true nature of power. Sadow could be using Harry to achieve his own ends. Harry may find himself in a web of lies and deceptions. He would have to navigate the dangerous world of dark magic while also trying to hold on to his own identity. There could be a lot of internal conflict as he grapples with the morality of his actions and the new knowledge he's gaining.
One possibility could be that Merlin uses his ancient magic to sense Harry's plight. He decides to take Harry under his wing, perhaps hiding him in a magically concealed place. Merlin then starts to teach Harry magic in a much more in - depth and different way compared to Hogwarts. Harry might learn spells that have been long forgotten in the wizarding world of his time.
One possible plot could be that Merlin, having been dormant for centuries, is awakened in the world of Harry Potter. He could then use his ancient magic to help Harry and his friends in their fight against Voldemort. Maybe he teaches them spells long forgotten, giving them an edge in the battle.
Another option could be Luna Lovegood. She has a very unique perspective on magic already. If she were Merlin's apprentice, she could bring her eccentric ideas and combine them with Merlin's ancient magic. Her friendship with Harry Potter and the others could also play a big role in how she uses her newfound status as Merlin's apprentice to help the wizarding world.
One suitable character could be a healer's daughter. She has grown up seeing the power of natural remedies and has a natural inclination towards magic. She is kind - hearted and intelligent, which would make her a great apprentice for Merlin. Also, a young noble who has been shunned by his family for his strange dreams (which are actually premonitions due to his budding magic) could be an interesting choice. Merlin would see the potential in him and take him as an apprentice.
One possible plot could be that Harry discovers a hidden passage in Hogwarts that leads to Merlin's Castle. There, he finds ancient spells and artifacts that help him in his fight against Voldemort. Maybe he even meets a ghostly form of Merlin who gives him advice.
