Fanfiction about Harry Potter being abused: What are some interesting plotlines?

A plotline could involve Harry's friendship with Cedric Diggory. In this fanfiction, they could become even closer friends as housemates. Harry might learn from Cedric's fairness and good - naturedness. They could team up to compete in some inter - house challenges that are unique to Hufflepuff. And when Cedric faces difficulties, Harry uses his Gryffindor - like courage along with his new - found Hufflepuff loyalty to support him.

One possible plotline could be Harry finding a magical way to fight back against the Dursleys' torture while still hiding his magic from the Muggle world. For example, he might use some subtle magic to make things go wrong for the Dursleys when they are being especially cruel. Another could be that his Hogwarts friends discover what's going on and come up with a plan to rescue him during the holidays. Maybe Hermione uses her knowledge of the law to find a way to legally remove Harry from the Dursleys' custody.

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.

Another plotline could involve how McGonagall deals with Harry's fame. Since she's very no - nonsense, she might shield Harry from the public eye more effectively. This could lead to a Harry who is less influenced by the adoration and more focused on his studies and personal growth.

Maybe Harry is being bullied and psychologically abused by some Slytherin students under Lucius' influence in a way that Lucius didn't initially anticipate getting so out of hand. Lucius then steps in to save Harry from this situation, perhaps to avoid a scandal that could harm his family's reputation in the wizarding community. It could also be that Harry is being abused by some dark magic experiments in the school that Lucius uncovers accidentally while looking for something else, and he decides to save Harry out of a sense of justice or self - preservation as the chaos could spread and affect his own son Draco.

Maybe Harry is being abused in a way that is related to his past as the Boy Who Lived. Some people might be jealous or afraid of his power and try to harm him. Malfoy could be in a situation where he realizes that Harry's downfall would actually be bad for the wizarding world in the long run. So, he rescues Harry. Then, they could go on an adventure to expose those who were behind the abuse. They might face many challenges along the way, but their new - found cooperation could be the key to their success.

A great plotline could be Hermione and Ron going on a magical journey to find a special charm or ingredient that is said to ensure the baby has a strong magical ability. It could be a dangerous quest that tests their relationship and their skills as wizards.

A third plotline might be that Harry is abandoned in a magical but hidden place. There, he is raised by magical creatures, say, a group of centaurs. They teach him their own brand of magic and wisdom. When he finally enters the wizarding world proper, he has a very different perspective on magic compared to the other students, which causes both admiration and some envy among his peers.

One plotline could be them teaming up to outwit the Slytherins in a series of magical challenges. They use their combined skills, Harry's courage and Neville's knowledge of plants, to create obstacles for the Slytherins in a magical maze competition.

One possible plotline could be that Harry initially resists going to Hogwarts because he's afraid of leaving behind his only connection to his normal life, like his aunt and uncle's house which, despite being horrible, is still the only home he's known. Another could be that some dark force is trying to prevent him from going to Hogwarts, but he's being forced by Dumbledore or some other powerful figure who knows it's crucial for his safety and development. For example, Voldemort could be using some magic to make Harry not want to go, in an attempt to keep him from learning magic and becoming a threat.
