In this fanfic, a great plot could be Albus' relationship with the Slytherin Quidditch team. Since he's a Potter, he might have natural flying skills. But the Slytherin team has its own politics and rivalries. Albus could face challenges getting on the team and then have to prove himself. He might also use his new position on the team to bridge the gap between Slytherin and the other houses. He could organize inter - house Quidditch events that help to break down the barriers and prejudices among the students.
Well, a plot could revolve around Albus making unexpected friends in Slytherin. He might find those who are also outsiders in a way, like a half - blood who is looked down upon by the pure - blood elitists in the house. Together, they could work on changing the perception of Slytherin from within. Also, there could be a mystery in the Slytherin common room that Albus is determined to solve. It could be related to a former Slytherin's dark secret that has been plaguing the house for generations.
His father, Harry, would probably be initially shocked. But he would also be understanding and supportive. After all, he knew that Slytherin wasn't all bad. His mother, Ginny, might worry a bit more, especially about the potential for Albus to be influenced by some of the more traditional Slytherin values. However, she would also encourage him to be true to himself.
One great fanfic could be 'The Slytherin's Albus'. It shows Albus's journey in Slytherin, his struggles with the house's reputation and how he forms unique friendships. It's really interesting as it gives a new perspective on Albus compared to the original stories.
One idea could be Harry having to deal with the prejudice from his Gryffindor friends. For example, Ron might be initially very suspicious and distant, which forces Harry to prove that he's still the same person. Another plot could involve Harry using Slytherin's more cunning and ambitious traits to fight Voldemort in a different way than in the original story. He might form alliances within Slytherin that were previously unthinkable.
One idea could be Hermione using her intelligence to change the Slytherin house's reputation from within. She could start study groups that include students from all houses, gradually breaking down the traditional rivalries. Another plot could involve her befriending some of the more misunderstood Slytherin students and together they work on a secret project that benefits the whole school.
Friendship is also a big theme. Albus usually forms unexpected friendships in Slytherin. These could be with other outcasts in the house or with students from different backgrounds. In some fanfics, he becomes friends with a pure - blood Slytherin who helps him understand the house's traditions better.
One idea could be Albus Severus Potter traveling back in time to meet his father, Harry Potter, as a young student at Hogwarts. He could then help his father in some of the early battles against Voldemort, using the knowledge he has from the future. This would create a lot of interesting interactions and changes to the original story line.
Another theme is redemption. In some fanfics, Slytherin has a bit of a bad reputation. Albus tries to redeem the name of Slytherin by his actions and choices. For example, he might work towards breaking the stereotype that all Slytherins are evil or self - serving.
A cool idea could be that Albus Severus Potter discovers he has a unique magical ability that no one in his family has ever had. This ability could lead him on a quest to find out more about its origin, which might be tied to an ancient and forgotten part of wizarding history.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Slytherin Journey of Albus Severus Potter'. In this fic, it delves deep into his struggle to fit in Slytherin while carrying the Potter name. It shows how he overcomes the initial prejudice from his housemates and becomes a respected figure in Slytherin.
One possible plotline could be Harry struggling to fit in at first. He's known for being a Gryffindor, so in Slytherin he'd face prejudice from both houses. Another could be him befriending Draco Malfoy early on and changing Draco's views. He might also discover a hidden side of Slytherin's history that helps him in his fight against Voldemort.
