Can you give an example of a plot involving 'falling petals' in Harry Potter fanfiction?

It could be a specific magical phenomenon in the fanfiction world. Maybe it's related to a certain spell or charm that makes petals fall in a particular way. It could be used in a story to indicate the presence of magic in a natural and aesthetically pleasing way. For instance, in a fanfic about a magical garden, falling petals might be a sign of the garden's magical properties.

A story where Harry is a detective in a modern - day city and has no connection to magic or the Potter - like world at all. This would be an example where he is not part of a Potter fanfiction as it completely deviates from the Potter universe's concepts.

Sure. One possible plot could be that Draco Malfoy gets a restraining order against Harry Potter after a particularly nasty duel. Malfoy claims that Harry's use of magic was too aggressive and he feels threatened. The story could then revolve around how this affects their relationship at Hogwarts, and how the wizarding community reacts to such a strange situation in the middle of their magical world.

Maybe in the fanfiction, a new dark wizard rises to power even more powerful than Voldemort. He creates a reign of darkness by spreading a dark plague across the wizarding world. This plague turns wizards into his mindless slaves. Harry's son or daughter has to step up and find a cure while also leading a resistance against this new dark force. They might have to travel to far - flung places in the wizarding world to find the ingredients for the cure and allies to help in the fight.

There's a fanfic where a good scientist is working on a project to bring back extinct species. She faces opposition from some groups who fear the consequences. However, she perseveres. She uses her skills in genetics and paleontology to recreate the DNA of a long - extinct dinosaur. In the end, she successfully brings the dinosaur back to life in a controlled environment and it becomes a symbol of hope for the future of science.

One example could be a fanfiction where the duo is Hermione and Draco. The story might be about how they are forced to work together on a secret project in Hogwarts and gradually change their opinions of each other.

One possible plot could be that a new character in the fanfiction, who is secretly working for Voldemort, tries to steal a line from Albus Dumbledore's private notes. This line is believed to hold the secret to defeating a certain dark curse. The character tries all sorts of sneaky ways to get to the line, like infiltrating Hogwarts under a false identity and spying on Dumbledore.

One possible plot could be that Harry Potter himself is tricked into a magical contract that binds him to a devil bride. He then has to figure out the nature of the dark magic used and find a way to break the contract before it's too late. Along the way, he might face challenges from the dark forces behind the devil bride and also deal with the reactions of his friends who are both horrified and confused.

In some fanfictions, the problem of identity can be weighty. For instance, if a character suddenly discovers that they are related to a dark wizard from the past. This could lead to them being ostracized by their friends and facing a lot of internal turmoil. They have to decide whether to embrace this new - found identity or fight against it, which is no easy feat.

In a fanfiction, Harry Potter could use the Imperius Curse (a form of mind control in the Potter universe) on a group of heartless Death Eaters. He controls their actions and makes them abandon their evil ways, thus controlling the narrative of the fanfiction.
