Maybe a fanfic about how Harry and Neville become best friends during a particularly difficult year at Hogwarts. They support each other through exams, Quidditch matches, and dealing with bullies like Draco Malfoy. Neville could help Harry with his Herbology studies, and Harry could teach Neville some useful Defense Against the Dark Arts spells.
A fanfic where Harry and Neville accidentally time - travel back to the Marauders' era. They have to figure out how to get back to their own time while also interacting with the young versions of their professors and the Marauders themselves. It could be full of adventures and humorous misunderstandings.
One idea could be that Harry and Neville form an alliance to secretly train students in advanced defensive magic outside of Umbridge's notice during her reign at Hogwarts. They could use the Room of Requirement as their base.
Another plot could be that Harry and Neville are actually long - lost twins separated at birth. They start having strange dreams about each other and then figure out the truth. This revelation would change their relationship and how they see themselves in the wizarding world. They could then team up to face a new, powerful dark force that is emerging, using their combined skills and the new - found bond between them.
Seamus Finnigan could be an interesting character to put in. His sometimes - explosive magic could create some comical and dangerous situations for the group. And of course, Hagrid. He could introduce them to all kinds of magical creatures and give them advice from his own experiences at Hogwarts.
One idea could be that Neville discovers a magical potion that enhances muscle growth as part of a Herbology experiment gone wrong. This causes him to rapidly gain muscles and he has to figure out how to control this new strength. He might accidentally break things around Hogwarts at first, but then learns to use it for good, like in a Quidditch match where he uses his strength to save a player from a dangerous fall.
One great fanfiction could be 'The Unlikely Bond'. In this story, Harry and Neville's friendship grows as they face new challenges together in the Forbidden Forest. They discover a hidden magical creature and have to protect it from dark wizards. It shows how their different personalities complement each other.
Well, one possible plotline could be Neville's hidden powers being explored even more deeply. Maybe he discovers a new spell or magical ability that helps him and his friends in a big way. Another could be Neville having a more central role in a mystery at Hogwarts, like uncovering a secret society or a long - lost magic item.
One idea could be a crossover where Harry and Neville end up in the Naruto universe. They could learn chakra techniques and use their magic in new ways. For example, Harry might combine his Patronus charm with a chakra-based attack. Neville could use his knowledge of Herbology to discover new medicinal plants in the Naruto world.
One common theme is mutual support. Since both Harry and Neville have had their struggles in the wizarding world, fanfiction often shows them being there for each other. For example, Neville can give Harry advice on herbology, which he's good at, and Harry can offer Neville tips on dealing with bullies like Malfoy.
One possible plot could be that Harry and Neville discover a hidden chamber in Hogwarts that is full of ancient magical plants. Neville, with his love for Herbology, is excited and they both explore it. Along the way, they face some magical creatures protecting the plants and they have to use their combined skills of magic and Neville's knowledge of plants to get through. It could strengthen their friendship as they rely on each other.
One plotline could be them teaming up to outwit the Slytherins in a series of magical challenges. They use their combined skills, Harry's courage and Neville's knowledge of plants, to create obstacles for the Slytherins in a magical maze competition.
