What are some interesting ideas for Harry Potter magical creature fanfiction?

There are fanfictions where a thestral, which is often associated with death, becomes a symbol of hope. For example, a thestral guides a group of lost students through a dangerous forest. Also, some fanfictions might explore the relationship between a bowtruckle and a wizard who is trying to protect its tree home from being cut down. Additionally, a fanfiction could feature a grindylow in a story where it forms an unexpected alliance with a young mermaid to save their underwater habitat.

One idea could be exploring the backstory of a Dementor. Maybe it was once a wizard who dabbled in dark magic too much and was cursed to become that form. Another could be a story about a werewolf who tries to find a cure in the wizarding world outside of the Wolfsbane Potion. And also, a fanfiction about a Basilisk that has a secret connection to an ancient wizarding family.

Well, in some Harry Potter creature inheritance fanfiction, there could be an inheritance of a phoenix's power. This would mean the character could have the ability to heal others with their tears and rise from the ashes, literally or metaphorically, in difficult situations. Also, an inheritance of a centaur's wisdom might be a thing. The character could then have an in - depth knowledge of astronomy and divination, as centaurs are known for their understanding of the stars. Maybe even an inheritance of a mermaid's ability to swim extremely fast underwater and communicate with underwater creatures would make for an exciting plot.

You could write a fanfic about a magical creature that can travel through time. It appears to Harry and his friends during their fifth year. This creature is being hunted by a powerful dark wizard from the future who wants to use its time - traveling abilities to change the course of wizarding history in his favor. Harry and his friends must protect the creature and figure out a way to send it back to its own time safely, all while dealing with the normal chaos of Umbridge at Hogwarts.

Well, there's a fanfiction I read once called 'The Animagus Encounter with Magical Creatures'. In this story, the main character, an animagus, stumbles upon a group of magical creatures that are in danger. As an animagus, they are able to communicate and help the creatures in ways normal wizards can't. It was really exciting to see how the animagus form interacted with the different magical creatures. There are also fanfictions where the animagus form is that of a very powerful and ancient magical creature, like a phoenix, and they use their abilities to protect the wizarding world from dark forces.

You could write a fanfic centered around a Niffler that gets into all sorts of mischief in Hogwarts. It steals valuable magical items from students and teachers, and a group of friends has to track it down before it causes too much chaos. Or perhaps a story about a magical creature that is a hybrid of a Phoenix and a Thestral. This unique creature has the ability to see the dead like a Thestral and the rebirth powers of a Phoenix.

One common theme is the discovery of new magical creatures. Writers often create new species or expand on the lore of the existing ones. Another theme is the friendship or bond between the characters and the magical creatures. For instance, a story might focus on how Harry forms a special connection with a rare magical beast.

One idea could be a story where a new creature is discovered and brought to the school. The students have to learn how to take care of it and in the process, they discover new magical abilities related to that creature.

One idea could be a student using Polyjuice Potion to turn into a house - elf to spy on the Hogwarts kitchen secrets. They might discover a hidden passage that the house - elves use for their own purposes. Another could be turning into a hippogriff to experience flight in a new way and interact with other magical creatures from their perspective. Maybe a character uses it to turn into a Blast - Ended Skrewt to find out why they are so aggressive and what their purpose is in the wizarding world.

Maybe the plot could revolve around a wizard who has a special ability to communicate with all magical creatures. As a result, different creatures from the Harry Potter universe, like centaurs, veelas, and house - elves, are attracted to him and form a harem. They then assist him in a quest to find a lost magical artifact that has the power to restore balance to the wizarding world.
