There could be his drill sergeant, a tough and no - nonsense character who has to whip Harry into shape. Maybe there's a fellow recruit who becomes Harry's best friend. They could support each other through the difficult training.
One possible character could be an old veteran who serves as a mentor to Harry. He could teach Harry the ropes of the military and share his own war stories. Another character might be a female soldier who Harry has a bit of a romantic interest in. She could be just as strong and capable as Harry, and they could have some interesting interactions both on and off the battlefield.
There could be his friends like Ron and Hermione. Even though he hates everyone, they would still be important characters as they might try to figure out what's wrong with Harry and how to bring him back from this state of hating everyone.
Hermione would likely be there. She is always interested in learning, so she'd be involved in any study related to magical creatures. Ron might also be around, perhaps getting into some comical situations with the creatures. Hagrid is another obvious choice, as he has a deep love and knowledge of magical creatures.
Ron and Hermione could still be important characters. Ron might be super excited for Harry and offer some support and advice. Hermione could be the one making sure Harry doesn't neglect his studies while being on the team.
There could be an old and wise elf elder. This elf has lived for centuries and has a vast knowledge of elf magic and history. He could be a mentor to Harry, guiding him in the ways of the elf council.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself would be the central character. Then, Voldemort would be a major figure as he is the main representative of the Dark Side. Bellatrix Lestrange could also play an important role as she is one of Voldemort's most loyal followers. She might be the one to initially tempt Harry or guide him into the ways of the Dark Side.
Obviously, Harry Potter and Voldemort are the main characters. Harry, who makes the unexpected choice to join Voldemort. And Voldemort, who welcomes Harry into his ranks, perhaps with an ulterior motive.
Well, depending on what 'rq' stands for, it could be a group of original characters created for the fanfiction. Maybe there's a wise old wizard who takes Harry under his wing as part of this 'rq' upbringing.
Hermione would probably be there. She might be worried about Harry and trying to stop him from getting too close to the Whomping Willow at first, but then gets involved in the adventure too.
Hermione could be involved. She might suspect Daphne of having ulterior motives regarding Harry and try to warn him, which could play into the betrayal storyline in some way, either as a catalyst or as someone who helps Harry deal with the betrayal later.
Well, Hagrid would be a great addition. He could bring in some friendly magical creatures for the preschoolers to see, like baby owls or small unicorns. The kids would be thrilled to meet them.
