What are the challenges that could be faced in a Harry and Lily time travel fanfiction?

One challenge could be the differences in their magic systems. Harry's magic is based on spells and incantations, while Middle - earth has a more ethereal and nature - based magic. Another challenge would be the different cultures. Harry is used to the wizarding world's culture, and Frodo to the hobbits' way of life. Also, the enemies are different. Harry faces Death Eaters and dark wizards, while Frodo has to deal with orcs and the forces of Sauron. They would need to learn to work together despite these differences.

When they travel to the future, a powerful corporation or a group of people in control of the new world order could be their enemies. These entities might not want Teddy and Lily to expose the dark secrets of the future, like how they are suppressing the lower classes or ruining the planet. So they would try to stop Teddy and Lily from going back to their own time with this knowledge.

One common theme is redemption. Harry often goes back in time with the idea of saving Lily or changing the past for the better. Another theme is the exploration of family relationships. Since Lily is Harry's mother, it gives a chance to see how their relationship could be different if they interacted in a different time and context.

One challenge could be the public perception. In the wizarding world, Snape is often seen as a villain or at least a very unlikable character. So for Harry to be secretly with him, Harry would have to deal with the potential backlash from his friends like Ron and Hermione, who might not understand his new relationship with Snape.

Their relationship would likely become more complex. Since Harry has only known Lily through memories and stories, actually meeting her in person through time travel would be a shock. Lily would see Harry as a grown man, not the baby she left behind. They might develop a more equal, friend - like relationship as they face the challenges of the time - travel situation together.

I've heard of 'Time - Twisted Affections'. It delves deep into the idea of Lily having a crush on Harry in a time - travel scenario. It's full of drama and mystery as they navigate through different time periods while dealing with their growing feelings for each other.

One exciting plot could be that Teddy and Lily travel back to the time of dinosaurs. They have to survive in a world full of giant reptiles and strange plants. They might discover new species that were not known before and their knowledge about dinosaurs could help modern science when they return to their own time.

Well, the time travel can either bring them closer or create more distance. If they travel to a time when they're supposed to be enemies, it can be really tough on their relationship. But if they travel to a time when they can get to know each other better without outside interference, it can strengthen their bond.

One challenge could be the Time - Turner rules. If they are using a Time - Turner, they need to be very careful not to break any of the laws regarding time travel. For example, they can't be seen by their past selves or make significant changes that would disrupt the future they come from. Another challenge is the danger of the time period they visit. If they go to a time when Voldemort was active, they are at great risk of being detected by Death Eaters.

One interesting plot idea could be that Harry travels back in time and meets Lily before she has him. He could try to prevent her death by warning her about Voldemort. Another could be that Lily time - travels to the future and sees the world after Voldemort's defeat, getting to know the man her son has become. Or perhaps they both travel to a different time altogether, like the time of the founders of Hogwarts, and have to adapt to that era while also dealing with their own relationship and the knowledge they bring from their own times.
