I'm not entirely sure as there could be many different interpretations. It might be about how Harry Potter is safeguarded by the champions in some sort of alternate scenario within the fan - created story.
Well, in fanfiction, the idea could be that the champions, perhaps from the Triwizard Tournament or some other group of champions, use their skills and powers to protect Harry Potter. Maybe they protect him from the dark forces that are constantly after him in the wizarding world. It could explore new relationships between Harry and these champions and how their combined efforts change the course of events compared to the original story.
The 'harry potter protected by the champions fanfiction' could be centered around the champions taking on the role of Harry's protectors. This might involve them using magic, strategy, or their unique abilities to keep Harry safe. For example, they could form a sort of protective shield around him, or they might be constantly on guard against threats like Death Eaters or other dark wizards. It could also delve into the personal growth of the champions as they take on this responsibility and how Harry responds to being in their care.
It's hard to say without reading the fanfiction. They could be the Triwizard champions like Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum. Or it could be some new champions created specifically for this fan - made story.
In this fanfiction, perhaps it's not just physical protection. Gringotts could be protecting Harry Potter in a more symbolic or magical sense as well. They might be guarding his family's legacy, which is tied to certain items or secrets in the vaults. This could lead to a whole series of adventures where Harry has to work with the goblins to uncover his true heritage and at the same time, stay alive while being protected by the might of Gringotts.
It could also center around a mystery related to their previous participation in the Triwizard Tournament. Something that was left unfinished or a secret that's now starting to surface. Their return might be triggered by signs or prophecies related to this mystery. They would then have to work together, along with Harry Potter and his friends, to solve it and prevent any potential disasters in the wizarding world.
Another plotline could be a champion who discovers a dark secret about the tournament's origin. They might find out that it was originally created as a means to control or manipulate young wizards, and they have to decide whether to expose it or play along to protect themselves and their friends.
One possibility could be that the snakes are magically bound to protect Harry. Maybe they are under an ancient spell that makes them his guardians. For example, they could form a protective barrier around him whenever he is in danger, like when Voldemort or his Death Eaters are near.
In some fanfiction, a snake might be used as a form of protection for Harry Potter in various ways. It could be a magical snake with special powers that wards off dark forces. Maybe it's a snake that has a connection to Harry through some ancient magic or prophecy.
One interesting storyline could be a deeper exploration of the relationship between the Triwizard champions outside of the tournament tasks. For example, how they might support or secretly envy each other. Another could be a fanfiction where the tasks are altered in some creative way, like a new magical creature being introduced in the first task. And some might focus on the backstories of the champions, like what Cedric Diggory was really thinking and feeling during the whole process.
Obviously, the previous Triwizard champions like Cedric Diggory (even though he passed away, there could be some magical way he's brought back), Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum would be the main characters. Harry Potter himself would also be involved as he was an unexpected champion in his time.
Cedric Diggory is often quite popular. Since he was a champion in the original series, fanfiction writers like to explore more of his story, his thoughts during the tournament, and even what could have happened if he had survived. He has that heroic and noble quality that makes him a great focus.
One example could be when Neville is protected by his friends from bullies in fanfiction. His Gryffindor housemates might stand up for him, just like how they would in the original books. Another example is if a fanfic has a young character being magically shielded by a more powerful wizard during a battle. This shield could be a creative new spell created by the author for the sole purpose of protecting the child.
