In fanfiction where Harry has a Basilisk as a Familiar, how would it change his relationships at Hogwarts?

Regarding the relationship with the other houses, the older brother could be a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw. If he was a Hufflepuff, it might make the Hufflepuffs more friendly towards Harry as they would see him as related to one of their own. If he was a Ravenclaw, the Ravenclaws might expect Harry to be as intelligent as his brother, which could lead to some interesting interactions and challenges for Harry at Hogwarts.

In such a fanfiction, the basilisk familiar might bring a lot of trouble too. People in the wizarding world would be terrified of Harry having such a dangerous creature. He'd probably have to keep it hidden most of the time. And he'd need to constantly control the basilisk's instincts to attack. But on the plus side, it could help him explore hidden and dangerous places where others couldn't go, like the Chamber of Secrets without the fear of being attacked by the basilisk there.

Well, having a King Cobra as a familiar would be quite a unique situation. It could potentially scare off some of the bullies at Hogwarts like Draco Malfoy. The snake's presence might also give Harry an edge in some of the more dangerous situations in the Forbidden Forest. For example, other creatures might be more hesitant to attack if they sense the King Cobra nearby.

To train the basilisk, Harry could involve other magical elements. For example, he could use spells to create obstacles for the basilisk to overcome, and reward it when it does so successfully. He could also introduce it to different magical environments gradually, so it gets used to various stimuli. Additionally, he could try to socialize it in a very limited way with other magical creatures that are not easily scared or harmed, to teach it some level of self - control. This would all require a lot of patience and trial - and - error on Harry's part.

Harry's relationships would become very different. Normally, his emotions are what connect him to others in the wizarding world. Without them, his interactions with his friends would lack the warmth and camaraderie. His relationship with Dumbledore, which was based on mutual understanding and a bit of mystery, would now be more of a one - sided attempt by Dumbledore to reach Harry's lost self. His enemies, on the other hand, would find it hard to taunt or anger him, which could change the dynamic of their confrontations.

His friends might be initially shocked but then find it hilarious. Ron would probably tease him good - naturedly. Hermione, on the other hand, would be more concerned about how to reverse it at first but then accept it as part of Harry's new look. Some of his Slytherin rivals might use it as an excuse to taunt him more, thinking he looks ridiculous.

They would need a strong will. Since basilisks are very powerful and dangerous, a character would have to be able to assert their dominance. This could involve using magic spells specifically designed for taming wild magical creatures.

His presence could make Harry more protective. Harry might be more cautious in his adventures, not wanting to put his little brother in danger. For example, when dealing with the Marauder's Map, he might be more hesitant to use it if he thinks it could expose his brother to trouble. Also, his friends like Ron and Hermione would have to adjust to having a younger, perhaps more inexperienced, person around. They might feel responsible for him as well.

His friends would be both amazed and a bit scared at first. Hermione would immediately start researching ways to turn him back. Ron might be more in awe of Harry's new form, but also worried about how dangerous it could be. Their dynamic would shift as they now have to protect Harry in a different way. They might also have to hide his transformation from others who could misunderstand and try to harm Harry.

In fanfiction, if the Basilisk was a familiar, it would be an extremely powerful and dangerous one. It could offer great protection to its master, as few would dare to approach someone with a Basilisk by their side. However, controlling it would be a huge challenge. The Basilisk's stare can kill, so the master would need to have a very strong bond and control over it to prevent accidental deaths.
