Who could be a good candidate for the Chief Warlock in Harry Potter fanfictions?

Neville Longbottom could also be a good choice. He has come a long way from being the shy boy in Hogwarts. After his experiences in the Battle of Hogwarts, he has grown into a brave and capable wizard. His understanding of plants and potions could also be useful in dealing with some of the more esoteric threats that Aurors might face.

There could be a fanfiction where the Chief Warlock has to deal with a dark magic threat that the Ministry of Magic is trying to cover up. In this story, the Chief Warlock has to use his own resources and connections to expose the truth and protect the wizarding world. It would involve a lot of mystery and intrigue as he uncovers secrets.

One great 'Harry Potter Chief Warlock' fanfic is 'The Ascent of the Chief Warlock'. It delves into Harry's journey to become the Chief Warlock and his challenges along the way. The story has a great plot and well - developed characters.

Luna Lovegood could be a great candidate. She has a unique perspective on magic and the wizarding world. Her kind and open - minded nature would make her a loving and protective godmother. She could teach Harry about the magical creatures she loves so much and also help him see things from different angles when he's facing difficult situations.

Draco Malfoy could be an interesting candidate. Their long - standing rivalry could transform into a deep understanding and love. They have a lot of history together, which could be explored in a romantic context.

An older and more experienced student, like a seventh - year Ravenclaw who has a special talent for defensive magic. They could have spent their years at Hogwarts studying ancient magic texts related to wards and have a fresh perspective on how to improve the school's protection.

Another theme is the continuation of the battle between good and evil. Even as Chief Warlock, there are still threats to the wizarding world that need to be faced, whether it's remnants of the Death Eaters or new dark forces emerging. And often in these fanfics, the Chief Warlock has to lead the fight. It's like in 'The Dark Resurgence in the Chief Warlock's Era' fanfic, where new dark wizards rise and the Chief Warlock has to find a way to stop them. Also, friendship and loyalty are important themes. The Chief Warlock often relies on his friends, just like Harry relied on Ron and Hermione in the original series. Their support is crucial in making decisions and facing difficulties.

Hermione Granger could be a great candidate. She is extremely intelligent, has a deep understanding of the wizarding laws (from all her studies), and is very determined. She could use her knowledge to fight for justice as a private lawyer. Her Muggle - born background might also give her an edge in dealing with situations that require a different perspective from the traditional wizarding view.

Severus Snape might also be an interesting choice. While he was on the side of the good guys in the original story, his past and his somewhat brooding personality could be used to create a complex mafia king character. He could have a hidden side where he rules the seedy underbelly of the wizarding world with an iron fist, perhaps as a way to atone for his past sins or to protect something he values deeply.

Another possible candidate could be Tom Riddle before he fully became Voldemort. He was already exploring the darkest corners of magic at a young age. The idea of the Sith and their power might attract him. He could see the Sith as a means to an end in his quest for immortality and ultimate power. As a Sith apprentice, he could combine the knowledge of the Dark Side of the Force with his own wizarding knowledge, creating a truly formidable and terrifying entity.
