What could be the plot of a Harry Potter family ring fanfic?

A great plot could be that the ring is a portal - creating device. When activated, it opens portals to different parts of the wizarding world and even some unknown magical realms. A group of dark wizards is after the ring to use it for their evil plans. Harry and his friends are on a race against time to protect the ring and close the portals that the dark wizards have already opened, all while learning about the origin and true power of the ring.

Well, perhaps the One Ring is sent to Hogwarts as a mysterious artifact. Dumbledore, suspecting its great power and danger, enlists Harry to investigate. Harry, being the hero he is, soon realizes that the ring has a will of its own. He has to face the temptation of the ring while also dealing with the ongoing threat of Death Eaters, as the two evils start to intertwine in unexpected ways.

One possibility is that Harry leaves due to feeling like an outsider still. Maybe he discovers some long - hidden family secrets that make him question his place in the Potter family. He could then leave to seek his own identity away from the family name and all the expectations that come with it.

Well, perhaps Harry uses his magic to sense the One Ring's power. He might initially mistake it for a dark magical artifact from his own world. Then, he could start on a journey to figure out what this strange ring is, all while facing challenges from both the wizarding world (like Voldemort's followers thinking he has a new powerful weapon) and from Middle - earth forces that are also after the ring.

Obviously, Harry Potter himself could be the main character. Since it's about the family ring, he would be the most likely one to discover it and unlock its secrets, given his status as the last of the Potter line in the main series.

One possible plot could be that the Potter ring has some sort of ancient magic. Harry discovers it and when Daphne gets involved, they find out that the ring is tied to a prophecy. Together, they embark on a journey to unlock the secrets of the ring, facing various magical creatures and dark wizards along the way.

The fanfic could center around Harry's life outside of the main events of the books. For example, it could explore his summer holidays in more detail. He could be spending time in the Muggle world and using his magic in creative ways to solve normal, everyday problems. He might use magic to help his neighbor fix a broken fence without the neighbor realizing it was magic. This would add a new dimension to his character and show how he can adapt his magical abilities to different situations.

In some fanfics, Harry could find out he has distant relatives from the Potter family who live in a far - off land. These relatives could be part of a different wizarding culture. When Harry meets them, he gets to learn about different types of magic and different ways of living in the wizarding world. He might also discover that his family has a much bigger role to play in the overall wizarding history than he thought.

One possible plot could be that Harry Potter is hired by Sherlock Holmes to help with a case that involves dark magic. Harry uses his knowledge of the wizarding world to uncover clues that Sherlock couldn't find with just his deductive skills.

Imagine Harry Potter as a bartender. He could be using his skills not just in mixing drinks but also in reading people. Since he has faced so many challenges in his life, he can easily spot if a customer is hiding something or if they are in trouble. His bar could become a place where secrets are shared, and he has to use his wits and magic to keep things in order. He might also have to deal with rival bartenders from other wizarding establishments who are jealous of his popularity and unique drinks.
