Another type of 'Love Potion' fanfiction could involve a character creating a new type of love potion that has unexpected effects. Maybe it doesn't just create love but also enhances other emotions like jealousy or possessiveness. This could cause a rift between characters who were previously close, and the story could revolve around them trying to reverse the effects of this new and dangerous love potion.
One interesting 'Love Potion' fanfiction could be about a character accidentally drinking a love potion meant for someone else. This could lead to all sorts of comical and chaotic situations as they start to have strong, uncharacteristic feelings for another person.
In some fanfictions, the love potion can have unforeseen consequences. Maybe Harry Potter himself gets dosed with a love potion and instead of falling for the person who gave it to him, his feelings are redirected towards his friendship with Ron and Hermione. This could lead to some really heart - warming scenes as he realizes the true depth of his platonic love for them through the warped lens of the love potion's effects.
Some cool potion ingredients in Harry Potter fanfiction are the fangs of a werewolf. These could potentially be used in a potion to control the werewolf transformation or to gain some of the werewolf's enhanced senses. Moonstone dust is also a great one. It has a connection to the moon and in fanfiction might be used in potions related to lunar magic, like a potion that only works during a full moon. And let's not forget the blood of a vampire. It's a rather dark ingredient, but in fanfiction it could be used in a potion to gain immortality or some form of dark power, although using it would likely be very controversial in the wizarding world.
In some 'love potion' Harry Potter fanfics, the plot might revolve around a love potion being used as a weapon. Maybe a dark wizard or witch uses a powerful love potion to manipulate a group of students into doing their bidding. Harry and his friends would then have to find an antidote and stop the villain's plan. This could involve a lot of adventure, like sneaking into the potions classroom at Hogwarts to find the recipe for the antidote.
A great plotline in such fanfiction could be a Potion Master being framed for creating a harmful potion. The real culprit might be someone trying to discredit the Potion Master for personal gain, like a rival for a teaching position at Hogwarts. The Potion Master then has to prove their innocence while also dealing with the chaos that the false accusation has caused in the wizarding community. They might have to enlist the help of their students or former colleagues to clear their name.
One idea could be a story where a young, inexperienced wizard accidentally creates a super - powerful luck potion. This potion not only brings good luck to the creator but also starts to affect the whole Hogwarts in unexpected ways, like making the Quidditch team win every game without much effort or students getting top grades without studying hard.
In some fanfictions, the purity potion might be used to test a character's moral purity rather than just blood purity. For example, it could show if a character has pure intentions in their actions.
One idea could be a student accidentally using a love potion on a teacher, creating chaos in Hogwarts. For example, if a first - year student manages to get their hands on a love potion and uses it on Professor Snape, who then starts acting completely out of character, being overly friendly and kind, which confuses all the students.
One interesting fanfiction could be where a character accidentally uses a love potion in a lemon - scented drink. Maybe Hermione accidentally drinks it and has some comical interactions with Ron. The lemon aspect could add a fresh and zesty element to the story, making it different from typical love potion scenarios in the Harry Potter universe.
The theme of redemption can also be found in some of these fanfictions. A character who has made mistakes in the past might use a love potion to try and make amends with someone they've wronged. But then they realize that using the potion is wrong in itself and they have to find a more genuine way to earn forgiveness. It shows their journey towards becoming a better person. Also, the power struggle between good and evil can be a theme when the love potion is used as a weapon by the bad guys. The good characters have to fight against the false love created by the potion to save their relationships and the wizarding world.
One popular fanfiction idea could be that Hermione accidentally consumes a love potion meant for someone else. She then starts acting out of character, perhaps showing an excessive amount of affection towards an unexpected character. This could create chaos in Hogwarts as her friends try to figure out what's wrong and reverse the effects.
