In the fanfiction where Minerva chooses Harry Potter as prefect, how does this decision impact the Gryffindor house?

Well, most of the good - natured professors would be pleased. They've seen Harry grow and develop over the years. Professors like Flitwick might see it as a positive step for Gryffindor. But then there are those like Snape who would be less than thrilled. He might feel that Minerva made a biased decision. And Umbridge, if she were around in this fanfiction, would likely try to undermine Harry's position as prefect in some way because she doesn't like his independent spirit.

It could cause chaos in the wizarding world. The Potter name is very well - known and has a certain status. His renouncement might lead to a power vacuum of sorts, as many have associated the name with hope and leadership against the dark forces.

The story could develop in a way that Harry goes through a period of self - discovery. Without the Gryffindor identity, he has to re - evaluate who he is. He might explore different kinds of magic that Gryffindor house never encouraged. This exploration could lead him to new powers and a new understanding of the wizarding world.

Well, it could be that the fanfiction writer is trying to subvert the traditional narrative. Harry has always been the hero of Gryffindor, but in this new take, he hates it. Maybe he sees the flaws in Gryffindor that are often overlooked in the original story, like the over - emphasis on courage which can sometimes lead to recklessness and he doesn't like being part of a house with such a one - dimensional view of what's important.

She becomes more nurturing. Usually, she's known for her strictness at Hogwarts, but when she adopts Harry, she softens up. For instance, she might show more patience when Harry makes mistakes in his magic studies.

It might make some Gryffindor fans in the fanfiction world feel disappointed. They may have hoped for his approval or participation in some way.

Well, Gryffindor could protect Harry by being there for him emotionally. In the fanfiction, Gryffindors might offer him a safe place to talk and share his troubles. They would encourage him when he feels down or doubts himself. Also, Gryffindor as a whole House could provide Harry with resources, like access to certain magical knowledge or artifacts within the Gryffindor common room that can help him in his battles against the dark forces.

Well, he might face a lot of opposition from his former Gryffindor mates. They could see his renouncement as a betrayal of the house. This could lead to some tense confrontations.

The relationship between Harry and the Gryffindor house is likely to be strained. Since Gryffindor is the namesake of the house Harry belongs to, this lack of forgiveness could cause a rift among the students. Some might side with Harry, while others might defend Gryffindor's legacy, creating internal conflicts within the house.

Some fans might be shocked at first. But it could lead to a more open attitude towards fan - created works in the wizarding community. It might encourage more people to write fanfiction, knowing that someone as strict as Snape approves.
