In a 'Harry Potter Dark Time Travel Fanfic', a character could travel back to the time of the first great wizarding war. They could attempt to save lives that were lost in that conflict, but in doing so, they unknowingly create new threats. For instance, saving a certain wizard might lead to that wizard being corrupted later and causing even more destruction.
Well, in a time travel fanfic, perhaps Harry accidentally travels back to the time when the founders of Hogwarts were still alive. He might learn ancient magic directly from them and use that knowledge to defeat Voldemort in his own time. Or Ron could go back in time and end up changing some Quidditch matches in the past, which then has unexpected consequences for the present, like different teams winning championships and changing the overall Quidditch culture at Hogwarts.
One idea could be Harry travels back in time and accidentally becomes the Dark Lord. Maybe he tries to use his knowledge of the future to rule the wizarding world in a different way, thinking he can prevent future disasters but ends up going down a dark path. Another plot could be that Harry goes back to change something about Voldemort's past, but in doing so, he gets stuck in a time loop where he keeps repeating the same actions over and over again. A third idea is that Harry travels back and teams up with a young Voldemort, believing he can change him, but Voldemort manipulates Harry instead.
Another idea is that Harry travels to a time when his family was being hunted by Voldemort but in a parallel timeline. He could try to find a way to merge the timelines in a way that saves his family in both timelines. This would involve a lot of complex magic and decision - making on Harry's part.
One idea could be that Harry travels back in time to his parents' era. He uses his mastery of death to protect them from Voldemort. Maybe he can't directly interfere but finds a way to subtly change things, like giving his father a special charm that ends up saving their lives in a crucial moment.
One idea could be that the new generation discovers a time - turning device left by Hermione. They travel back to the time of the first Triwizard Tournament. There, they meet a young Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and get involved in the mystery surrounding Cedric Diggory's death in a new way.
One idea could be that the next - generation characters travel back to the time of the first wizarding war. They could accidentally change some small events, which then have big consequences on their present time. For example, they might prevent a certain spell from being cast that was crucial in the defeat of a dark wizard, and now they have to figure out how to fix it in their own time.
One idea could be that a Dark Angel character somehow enters the Harry Potter world and teams up with Voldemort, creating new and dangerous dark magic. Another could be a Hogwarts student discovers they have Dark Angel powers and has to struggle with whether to use them for good or be tempted by the dark side. A third idea is that the Dark Angel realm and the wizarding world are connected through a long - forgotten spell, and characters from both worlds must work together to close the connection before chaos ensues.
A third idea might be that both Harry and Teddy accidentally travel to a time in the past where a great magical event took place, like the founding of Hogwarts. They have to figure out how to get back to their own time while also trying not to disrupt the events that are crucial to the wizarding world's history. They might even learn some long - lost spells or magical knowledge during their time there.
One idea could be a character going back in time to prevent a major dark wizard event that was overlooked in the original series. For example, they might try to stop the initial rise of Voldemort before he became so powerful.
Well, perhaps Harry travels back in time to the very beginning of the wizarding world. He discovers secrets about magic that have been long forgotten. He then uses this knowledge to make the wizarding world more inclusive and less divided by blood purity. Or he could time - travel during his own time period, like going back to his first year at Hogwarts over and over again to change small things that have big consequences in the future, like making sure Neville is more confident from the start.
