How does the plot develop when Harry Potter refuses detention in fanfiction?

Well, in fanfiction, Harry's refusal of detention could be a major turning point. It might lead to him exploring other ways to solve the problems that led to the detention in the first place. Maybe he discovers a new magic or finds an ally who helps him deal with the underlying issues. But on the other hand, it could also put him at odds with Hogwarts' traditional ways. The teachers would be forced to re - evaluate their discipline methods, and Harry would have to deal with the fallout, which could include being ostracized by some or having to prove his point in a very difficult situation.

She might be heartbroken. Ginny could initially be in shock and disbelief. She may retreat into herself, spending a lot of time alone in her room, crying and trying to understand why Harry would refuse.

Their relationship can develop as they are forced to spend time together during detention. Harry might start to see Snape's tough exterior as a mask for his insecurities or past traumas. For example, when Snape shares a bit of his knowledge about a difficult potion, Harry realizes Snape is not just out to get him.

Often, the plot develops with Harry facing new challenges in the new place he flees to. He has to adapt to a different magical culture. For example, if he goes to France, he might encounter different types of magic and different social norms among wizards there.

Often, the plot develops with a sense of mystery. His friends would start to investigate what really happened to get him sent there. There would be a search for evidence to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, Harry in Azkaban might discover some dark secrets about the prison itself or about those who sent him there.

His friends in the wizarding world might try to convince him to come back. This could lead to a lot of internal conflict for Harry as he decides between his old life and the new non - wizard one he's trying to build. There could be a series of events where his wizard friends show him the good parts of magic that he's forgotten or never fully appreciated.

One possibility is that Harry stands up against an unfair detention. Maybe he has evidence that he was wrongly accused of something, like when Snape tries to give him detention unjustly. So he refuses and decides to take his case to Dumbledore, who then investigates and clears Harry's name.

The fight against Voldemort would be very different. Since Hogwarts is a key place in the battle against the Dark Lord, if Harry isn't there, the defenses of Hogwarts might not be set up in the same way. Also, he won't be trained by the professors, so his magical skills won't develop as they did in the original story. Without Harry at Hogwarts, the balance of power between good and evil in the wizarding world could shift in a very unexpected way.

In certain fanfictions, Harry's fall could be a part of a larger conspiracy. Maybe someone tampered with his broom on purpose. This would then lead to an investigation, with Harry and his friends trying to figure out who was behind it. Along the way, they could uncover other secrets about Hogwarts or the wizarding world in general, which would add more depth and complexity to the plot.

Often, detention scenes in Harry Potter fanfiction provide opportunities for characters to show their true nature. If a character is normally seen as a troublemaker, during detention they might show a more caring side. For example, Draco might help a first - year student who is also in detention out of pity or a sense of fairness, which is a side of him that is not often shown in the regular storylines. This helps to flesh out the character and make them more complex and interesting.
