Fanfiction about Harry Potter being Sorted into Slytherin: What are some interesting plotlines?

A plotline could involve Harry's friendship with Cedric Diggory. In this fanfiction, they could become even closer friends as housemates. Harry might learn from Cedric's fairness and good - naturedness. They could team up to compete in some inter - house challenges that are unique to Hufflepuff. And when Cedric faces difficulties, Harry uses his Gryffindor - like courage along with his new - found Hufflepuff loyalty to support him.

One interesting plotline could be Hermione struggling to fit in Slytherin at first. She's used to the values of Gryffindor, so being in Slytherin where ambition and cunning are prized in a different way would be a big adjustment. For example, she might have to deal with the initial suspicion from her Slytherin housemates who are not used to having a 'Mudblood' among them. But as time goes on, she could use her intelligence to show them that she belongs there and maybe even change some of their views on blood purity.

Another plot could involve Harry discovering some long - lost Slytherin secrets. Maybe there are hidden chambers or spells that only Slytherin students are supposed to know about. Harry, being the curious and brave character he is, delves into these secrets. This could put him in a dangerous position as some Slytherins might not want him to expose or use these secrets, but it also gives him a chance to prove himself to his new housemates.

One idea could be Harry having to deal with the prejudice from his Gryffindor friends. For example, Ron might be initially very suspicious and distant, which forces Harry to prove that he's still the same person. Another plot could involve Harry using Slytherin's more cunning and ambitious traits to fight Voldemort in a different way than in the original story. He might form alliances within Slytherin that were previously unthinkable.

One great fanfiction in this vein is 'The Slytherin Heir' where Harry, having endured abuse, is sorted into Slytherin. It delves into his complex relationships with his housemates and how he overcomes the stigma associated with Slytherin. The story shows his growth and development as he uses his Slytherin cunning to face the challenges in the wizarding world.

One interesting plotline could be the exploration of the Slytherin Prince's backstory. Maybe he has a hidden family legacy or a past encounter that shaped his personality. Another could be his relationships within Slytherin house, like rivalries or unexpected friendships. Also, his interactions with Harry Potter in a different light than in the original books, perhaps as an ally in some situations rather than an enemy.

Well, a great plotline might be Harry delving into the history of Slytherin. He could discover secrets about the founder that give him an edge in leading the house. For example, he might find hidden chambers or spells that only the true heir of Slytherin should know. This could lead to him using this knowledge to protect Slytherin students from discrimination and also to gain respect within the wizarding world as a Slytherin leader.

Another plotline could involve a Slytherin student who is constantly trying to break free from the negative stereotypes associated with their house. They use their Slytherin heritage in positive ways, like being cunning in solving mysteries that are plaguing the school, and in the process, they change the perception of Slytherin within the Hogwarts community.

One interesting plotline could be the exploration of the true identity of the Heir of Slytherin. Maybe it's not who everyone suspects. For example, it could be a character who has been hiding their Slytherin heritage all along.

One interesting fanfiction could be 'The Slytherin Prince Harry'. In this story, Harry's sorting into Slytherin changes his whole Hogwarts experience. He has to deal with the prejudice from the Gryffindors while also trying to find his place among the Slytherins. It shows a different side of Harry, more cunning and politically aware.
