Another plotline could involve a serpent that is a guardian of a powerful artifact. Harry stumbles upon this serpent while exploring the Forbidden Forest. The serpent initially seems menacing but as Harry tries to understand it, he realizes it's just protecting the artifact from falling into the wrong hands. And together they must face challenges to keep the artifact safe from Voldemort or other dark wizards.
In some fanfictions, the serpent might be a reincarnation of an ancient wizard who was associated with serpents. This wizard, in serpent form, could guide Harry in understanding dark magic in a different way, not for evil but to use it to defeat the real dark forces. They might go on a journey to discover ancient spells that were lost and only the serpent remembers.
One interesting plotline could be a serpent that has a special bond with Harry. Maybe it's a magical serpent that can communicate with him and helps him in his adventures. For example, it could lead him to hidden secrets in Hogwarts that are related to the founders and their connection with serpents.
A great plotline might involve the serpent king being a misunderstood figure. Instead of being a pure villain, he has his own motives and goals, like protecting a certain part of the magical world that has been long forgotten or oppressed. In the fanfiction, Harry could find himself in a moral dilemma of whether to fight or side with the serpent king.
One interesting plotline could be Harry using his power of words to persuade Voldemort to abandon his dark ways. Maybe he finds some long - forgotten magic in words that can reach into Voldemort's soul and make him see the error of his actions. Another could be Harry using words to unite the wizarding world in a way that has never been done before, breaking down the barriers between pure - bloods, half - bloods, and Muggle - borns, creating a more inclusive and harmonious society.
One possible plotline could be that Harry discovers he has the ability to communicate with dragon serpents. This newfound skill helps him in his fight against Voldemort. Maybe the dragon serpents know of a hidden weakness of Voldemort's that no one else does.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'The Rise of the Serpent Lord's Heir'. It might explore a new character who has a connection to the Serpent Lord and their journey in the wizarding world. Another could be 'Serpent Lord's Revenge' which might focus on the Serpent Lord coming back to seek vengeance on those who wronged him in the past. There's also the possibility of a fanfiction like 'Allies of the Serpent Lord' that shows characters allying with the Serpent Lord for various reasons.
Well, some might involve magical creatures with furry characteristics in new adventures at Hogwarts. For example, a werewolf character could have a unique story arc that intersects with the main Harry Potter plot. Maybe they are trying to find a cure or dealing with the prejudice within the wizarding world in a different way than what's in the original books.
One possible plotline could be a comical take on baby Harry's magical mishaps. Maybe he accidentally makes his diapers levitate or turns his crib into a mini Hogwarts. Another could be about how the other characters like Hagrid or Dumbledore interact with baby Harry in this unique situation, perhaps trying to figure out how to handle his early magical outbursts while he's still in diapers.
Perhaps a plotline where the ogre has some sort of special power that the wizards in Harry Potter are interested in. This could lead to a whole series of events where they try to either control or cooperate with the ogre.
In some fanfiction, a familiar might get lost in a different dimension. So, the main character has to go on a journey to find it. Along the way, they meet strange new creatures and learn new spells, which is really exciting. It also shows a different side of the bond between a wizard and their familiar.
There could also be a fanfiction where a member of the Sacred 28 discovers a long - lost family secret that has the potential to change the power dynamics among the pure - blood families. This secret could be related to a hidden magic or a forgotten alliance, and as they try to uncover more about it, they face opposition from other families who fear the change it might bring.
A common plotline is the characters' post - graduation plans. Some fanfictions might explore how Harry, Hermione, and Ron decide on their career paths. Maybe Harry is conflicted between becoming an Auror or a teacher at Hogwarts. Hermione could be considering further studies in ancient magic, and Ron might be thinking about joining his brothers in the joke shop business. This exploration of their future dreams and how they support each other during this transition period can be really engaging.
