Perhaps Sirius catches Harry and Hermione as they are trying to communicate with a mysterious magical creature that they believe can help them in the fight against Voldemort. Sirius warns them of the potential dangers but is ultimately intrigued by their idea and joins them on their quest. Or it could be that Sirius catches them when they are sneaking into the restricted section of the library to find a book that might hold the key to defeating a new and powerful dark wizard, and he uses his experience to guide them through the dangerous research.
In some fanfictions, Sirius catches Harry and Hermione as they are attempting to use a time - turning device to go back in time and prevent a tragic event that occurred in the wizarding world. Sirius, having his own experiences with time - related magic, tries to dissuade them at first but then realizes that they might be onto something important. He decides to assist them, and together they face many challenges and unforeseen consequences as they travel through time.
One possible plot idea could be that Sirius catches Harry and Hermione in the middle of a secret plan to save a fellow student from a dark magic threat. Sirius, initially thinking they're up to something dangerous, then realizes their noble intentions and decides to help them. Another idea is that Sirius catches them while they are exploring a hidden part of Hogwarts that is related to an old mystery about his family. He then shares his knowledge about it with them, leading to an exciting adventure.
A possible plot is a mystery - solving one. There's a strange magical occurrence in Hogwarts that is affecting both Gryffindors and Slytherins. Hermione starts investigating, and she enlists the help of Sirius (who could be a ghost or somehow back in a semi - corporeal form). Harry is naturally drawn to help Hermione, and Draco gets involved because it might affect his family's standing. As they dig deeper, they find out that it's an ancient curse set by a long - forgotten wizard, and they have to find a way to break it using their combined skills and knowledge.
One common theme is the theme of mentorship. Sirius often takes on a mentorship role when he catches them. He uses his knowledge of the wizarding world, especially the darker aspects, to guide Harry and Hermione. Another theme is friendship. Their friendship is tested and strengthened when Sirius catches them in some kind of 'forbidden' activity. It shows how they support each other through difficult situations.
One idea could be that the daughter inherits Hermione's intelligence and Sirius's rebellious spirit. She might use her smarts to uncover secrets about the wizarding world that were long buried, like hidden spells or lost histories. Another plot could involve her struggling to fit in at Hogwarts, being the daughter of two such well - known figures. She could face both envy and admiration from her peers.
Another plot could be set in an alternate universe where Sirius never went to Azkaban. He and Hermione meet when she is a young, brilliant witch just starting at Hogwarts. Sirius, being a bit of a rebel, takes Hermione under his wing and they embark on adventures outside of the school rules, exploring the Forbidden Forest together and uncovering secrets about the wizarding world that are not taught in classes.
Well, a plot could involve Harry catching Albus and Scorpius having a secret meeting in an abandoned classroom. It turns out they are planning a surprise for the school, like a new Quidditch tournament format. Or perhaps Harry catches them in the middle of a magical experiment gone wrong in the Hogwarts grounds. They were trying to create a new spell to make plants grow faster for the Herbology class. Also, they could be caught by Harry while they are trying to communicate with a portrait that has some long - lost knowledge about the wizarding world.
One plot idea could be Sirius escaping Azkaban earlier and secretly taking care of baby Harry. He could teach Harry magic in hiding, away from the Dursleys. Another could be Sirius using his animagus form to be close to baby Harry without being detected, like a secret guardian watching over him at all times.
One interesting plot idea could be that during the game, Sirius is dared to reveal a long - held secret about his family. For example, a hidden family heirloom or a mysterious relative. Another idea is that Hermione is asked to tell a truth about her feelings towards one of her Hogwarts professors, which leads to some awkward yet comical moments. A third plot idea might be that they are dared to switch magical abilities for a day, leading to chaos as Hermione tries to handle Sirius' more impulsive and powerful magic and Sirius struggles with Hermione's more studious and precise spells.
A great plot idea would be that when they time travel, they accidentally change something in the past that has a huge ripple effect on the future. They then have to figure out a way to fix it. Maybe they make it so that Sirius was never disowned by his family in the past, which changes his whole life trajectory. This could lead to a completely different future for the wizarding world, and they have to race against time (again) to make sure the future doesn't go completely haywire.
Well, perhaps there's a fanfiction where Sirius Black is wrongly accused again, but this time Hermione believes in his innocence from the start. She uses her intelligence and resources to prove his innocence while they are on the run from the Ministry. Along the way, they form a deep bond and discover new magical abilities within themselves that they use to clear Sirius' name and also make some changes to the wizarding world's justice system.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Harry catches Peter Pettigrew while he's trying to escape to Voldemort again. Harry uses some new spell he's learned to trap Peter. Then, instead of handing him over to the authorities right away, Harry tries to get information out of him about Voldemort's plans. This could lead to a whole new adventure for Harry and his friends as they try to use the information to prevent Voldemort's next move.
