In fanfiction, they could be re - imagined as reluctant allies. For example, a new dark force emerges that is even more powerful and dangerous than Voldemort. Harry and Voldemort are forced to work together to defeat this new threat. Along the way, they start to understand each other better, and their relationship becomes a complex mix of distrust, respect, and a shared goal.
Another way to re - imagine their relationship is through a time - loop scenario. Harry and Voldemort are stuck in a time loop where every time Voldemort kills Harry, the loop restarts. Eventually, they start to communicate during these loops and realize that their fates are intertwined in a way they never expected. This could lead to a very different kind of relationship where they both try to break the loop together while also dealing with their long - standing enmity.
The relationship could be re - imagined as a mentor - mentee relationship. Snape, with his extensive knowledge of potions and the Dark Arts, could guide Harry in a more official capacity, like a strict but fair tutor. This would be different from the somewhat hostile relationship in the books, where Snape was often critical of Harry.
One way is to give the Beast a different origin. Instead of being a normal magical creature, it could be the result of a wizard's failed experiment. For example, a creature that was supposed to be a simple rabbit but turned into a huge, fire - breathing beast due to a wrong spell combination.
She could be re - imagined as a mentor figure. In an adult fanfiction, Bellatrix, with all her knowledge of the Dark Arts, could teach a new generation of wizards how to defend against such magic. This would turn her from a purely evil character to one with more depth and complexity. For instance, she could start a secret school within the wizarding world where she imparts her knowledge to those who want to learn about the darker aspects of magic for defensive purposes only.
The relationship would become extremely complex. Harry would be confused and conflicted. He's been taught all his life that Voldemort is pure evil, but now he's been saved by him. Voldemort, on the other hand, might start to see Harry in a different light, perhaps as a tool or as someone with whom he can form an unusual bond. It would be a relationship full of mistrust on Harry's part and manipulative intentions on Voldemort's.
The relationship would become extremely complex. Harry would no longer be able to simply see Voldemort as pure evil. He would be in a state of confusion and moral dilemma. Voldemort, on the other hand, might start to view Harry as a more interesting pawn rather than just an enemy to be killed. They could develop a strange sort of respect for each other, at least on a surface level.
It could start with a lot of animosity on Harry's part, but as he is trained, he might start to see Voldemort in a different light. Maybe he begins to understand Voldemort's motives, though not necessarily agreeing with them.
At first, it would be extremely tense. Voldemort would be highly suspicious of Harry's motives. Harry, on the other hand, would be very cautious as he is approaching his mortal enemy. But as they start to interact more, there might be a grudging respect that develops if they find they have common goals.
The 'Harry Potter' franchise has a large and diverse fan community. However, this kind of extremely inappropriate concept is not something that is typically explored or accepted. The series has been so influential because of its positive values and engaging storylines, not such abnormal relationships.
In this fanfiction, the relationship between Harry and Voldemort would be full of contradictions. Voldemort adopts Harry for his own purposes, but Harry has his own will. In the beginning, Harry may be forced to follow Voldemort's orders out of fear. As time passes, he might start to question Voldemort's actions and ideology. Voldemort, seeing Harry's growing independence, could become more controlling. This could lead to a cycle of rebellion and suppression in their relationship. Harry may also find some common ground with Voldemort in their shared loneliness or desire for power, which would add more layers to their complex relationship.
It might start with Voldemort's initial curiosity. He realizes Harry is more than just a threat. So he begins to observe Harry closely. As time goes by, Voldemort may start to feel a strange sense of connection, like he's the only one who truly understands Harry's power.
