Perhaps Harry teaches Tom in a more unorthodox way. He could use his own memories of facing Voldemort as teaching tools. For example, showing Tom how the Killing Curse can be deflected. This would not only teach Tom DADA but also give him a different perspective on the power of life and death magic. And through their interactions, Tom might start to question his own path towards the Dark Arts.
One possible plotline could be that Harry, with his knowledge of the Dark Arts from his own experiences, tries to show Tom the true nature of defensive magic. He might start by teaching basic spells like the Shield Charm. Harry could also share his insights on how to resist the allure of the Dark Arts, which is something Tom struggles with in his later years as Voldemort.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Harry adopts Tom Riddle when he's still a young boy at the orphanage. Harry then uses his own experiences of growing up without parents to bond with Tom. He teaches Tom about magic in a different way than Dumbledore did, focusing on the positive aspects of magic for good. This could lead to Tom not becoming the evil Voldemort we know.
One possible plotline could be that Harry, having seen the destruction Tom Riddle caused as Voldemort, decides to take young Tom under his wing to prevent him from going down that dark path. He could introduce Tom to the love and friendship he never had, like the friendships Harry formed at Hogwarts. This new environment and positive influence might change Tom's view of the world.
One possible plotline could be that Harry starts to show an interest in dark magic like Tom Riddle did. Maybe he becomes overly ambitious in his studies, trying to outperform everyone in a way that borders on the obsessive competitiveness that Riddle had. Another could be that Harry begins to isolate himself from his friends, just as Riddle did when he was at Hogwarts, as he delves deeper into the knowledge that Riddle once pursued.
Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, Harry adopts Tom Riddle Jr after a time - travel incident. Harry realizes that by changing Tom's upbringing, he can prevent the rise of Voldemort. He takes Tom under his wing and shows him the value of family. Tom, growing up with Harry, starts to develop different values. He becomes interested in protecting the wizarding world rather than ruling it. This could lead to a completely different wizarding world where the threat of Voldemort never really existed.
Yes, in fanfiction, the concept of Harry Potter and Tom Riddle as soul mates is possible. Fanfiction often explores alternative relationships and character dynamics. Writers can create scenarios where their destinies are intertwined in a way that goes beyond the traditional enmity in the original series. It allows for a deeper exploration of their similarities and differences, and how they could be connected on a more profound level.
Well, it could be that Harry's hands - on experiences from his own time at Hogwarts make his teaching really engaging. He might share his encounters with dark creatures and how he overcame them. This could make Tom more aware of the practical side of DADA.
Another plot could be that as Harry raises Tom, he discovers some hidden good in Tom that was overshadowed by his later actions as Voldemort. Harry might then use this discovery to try and rewrite the future, preventing all the destruction that Voldemort caused. He could encourage Tom's magical abilities in a positive way, like getting him involved in helping others with magic instead of using it for domination.
As the teaching progresses, they could develop a sort of mentor - mentee relationship. Harry would be constantly trying to steer Tom away from the Dark Arts, while Tom would be trying to learn as much as he can from Harry. However, there would always be an underlying tension because of Tom's future as Voldemort. Their relationship might be a complex dance of trust and suspicion.
Well, there are plotlines that explore the idea of Harry being a reincarnation of someone important in Tom Riddle's past. This leads to a complex relationship where Tom is both drawn to and confused by Harry. Also, some fanfictions have a plot where Harry and Tom are in a magical duel that results in them being trapped in a magical realm together. There, they must rely on each other to escape while also dealing with their mutual distrust. Additionally, a plotline could involve Tom's diary Horcrux having a more sentient and positive relationship with Harry, which changes the way Tom views Harry from afar.
Perhaps a plotline where they go on adventures together. They could explore hidden parts of Hogwarts that no one else has found. Their different personalities - Harry's goodness and Tom's initially hidden darkness - could create a lot of tension and character development during these adventures.
