One great example is 'The Time - Turner's Redemption'. In this fanfiction, Harry uses the time - turner in a new and creative way. He goes back to key moments in the wizarding world's history and changes small things that have a big impact on the future. Another is 'Harry Potter and the Temporal Paradox'. Here, Harry travels through time to prevent Voldemort from ever getting the idea of creating Horcruxes.
Well, 'The Slytherin Time Traveler' is a good one. It shows how a Slytherin who time travels has to deal with the different values and cultures of the past. They might face challenges from other houses who don't trust Slytherins, especially when they seem to know too much about the future. Another example could be 'Back in Time: Slytherin's Redemption'. Here, a Slytherin character travels back to try and change the bad reputation of the Slytherin house throughout history by influencing certain key events and people.
It can make the storyline more complex and full of possibilities. When Harry time - travels, he might accidentally create a time paradox. This means that his actions in the past could have unforeseen consequences in the present. For instance, if he saves someone who was supposed to die, it could change the entire course of the war against Voldemort. Sometimes, time travel allows for characters to gain new powers or knowledge from the past, which they then use to change the future for the better or worse.
Well, he could probably change a lot of things. He might go back in time and prevent some of the tragedies that happened in the original story, like the death of his parents. As a god, he would have incredible powers, so he could easily defeat Voldemort much earlier and save a lot of lives. Maybe he would also use his newfound god - like status to bring about a more just and equal wizarding world.
A really cool one is 'Back to the Beginning'. In this fanfiction, Hermione uses a newly discovered time - traveling spell to go back to the very start of Hogwarts. It's filled with her trying to fix things while also dealing with the founders of Hogwarts. It's a long read but very engaging.
Well, for those who are into exploring different interpretations of the Harry Potter universe, it could be a great read. The idea of time travel combined with a focus on Salazar Slytherin can bring out new and interesting storylines. But it might not be for everyone. If you're a purist who likes to stick to the original books' plot and themes strictly, you may not like it as much. Also, the quality of fanfiction can vary greatly in terms of writing style and plot development.
Another great element is the exploration of the consequences of time travel. In a good fanfiction, changing one small thing in the past can have huge ramifications in the future. This creates a lot of suspense and makes the story exciting. Also, seeing how the characters adapt to the different time periods, like how they deal with the different social norms and magic that might be more or less advanced than their own time, is really interesting. It can lead to some really creative plotlines and character growth.
One great fanfiction has Harry Potter and Draco being sent back in time by a malfunctioning magical artifact. In the past, they find themselves in the middle of the formation of Hogwarts. They have to adapt to the very different magical environment and social norms. As they try to find a way back to their own time, they end up influencing the founding of Hogwarts in small but significant ways, like suggesting new rules for the houses that promote unity among students.
Another one is 'Back to the Beginning'. This fanfiction delves deep into the idea of time travel being a powerful tool. The main character travels back in time and uses their knowledge of future events and spells to gain an upper hand. It also explores the moral implications of using time travel to change things, which adds an extra layer of depth to the story.
One example could be the change in Hogwarts over time. Maybe in some fanfictions, with the passage of years, the layout of the school changes, new rooms are discovered. Another example is the relationship between characters. Harry and Draco might start as bitter enemies, but as time passes in the fanfiction, they could become reluctant allies. Also, time could change the power dynamics in the wizarding world. A small, insignificant family could rise to power over time.
One example could be a fanfiction where Harry is mortified when he accidentally uses the wrong spell in front of the whole school during a big event. It shows his embarrassment and how he has to deal with the aftermath.
