Dobby would likely be one of the important house elves. He has shown great courage and a willingness to go against the norm to help Harry in the original series. In this fanfiction, he could be the leader among the house elves in the rescue mission.
Dobby is often very popular in fanfiction. Since he was already a well - developed character in the original series, fanfiction writers like to expand on his story further. He might be shown having more adventures or getting into different kinds of trouble. Another popular one is Kreacher. Writers may explore his complex personality more deeply, perhaps showing a side of him that was not fully explored in the books, like his loyalty to the Black family in new and interesting ways.
In the Harry Potter movies, the Hogwarts emblem had distinct characteristics and meanings.
Gryffindor House: A lion on the crest represents courage, strength, and honor. Below the lion was a golden flower representing wisdom and knowledge.
Hufflepuff House: A black panther on its crest represents tenacity, agility, and strength. Below the leopard was a golden flower that also represented wisdom and knowledge.
Ravenclaw House: A black eagle on its crest represents wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge. Below the eagle was a golden flower representing justice and courage.
Slytherin House: A black snake on the crest represents wit, venom, and ambition. Below the snake was a golden flower, which also represented wisdom and knowledge.
Each Hogwarts House emblem has its own unique symbol and meaning. These symbols reflect the traditions and values of each House.
In this fanfiction, it could be that Harry takes over the House of Potter to restore its former glory. He might have to deal with dark forces that have been lurking around the property, and he uses his skills and the help of his friends to cleanse it. Maybe he uncovers a plot against the wizarding world that was somehow connected to his family's house, and he has to prevent it from coming to fruition.
There could be many possibilities. It might be an original character created specifically for the fanfiction. However, it could also be a well - known house - elf from the original series, like Dobby, who in the fanfiction somehow comes to be owned by Harry Potter in a different set of circumstances. Maybe Harry saves Dobby in a more complex way in this fanfiction and as a result, Dobby becomes his house - elf.
Well, it could be about a situation where someone makes a house call in the Harry Potter universe. Maybe it's a healer visiting a sick wizard at home, or a magical service provider coming to a wizard's house for some special task. It could also involve a character like Harry Potter himself receiving a house call from an unexpected visitor with some mysterious purpose.
There could be some antagonists as well. Maybe some dark wizards who were enemies of the Potter family in the past and are still lurking around the house, trying to stop Harry from taking full control. There might also be some Ministry of Magic officials who are interested in the House of Potter for various reasons, such as the possible presence of powerful magic items. And Neville Longbottom could also be involved, as he was a key figure in the fight against Voldemort and could be there to support Harry in this new adventure.
Well, perhaps the house - elf is constantly tidying up in really cool ways. It could be folding clothes by magic so that they are always perfectly creased, or it might arrange the books in Harry's library in a way that makes it easier for him to find the exact spell book he needs at any given time. And it could also have a special connection with the other magical creatures around the house, like communicating with the garden gnomes and getting them to stay in line without causing trouble.
A great House Harry Potter fanfiction might be one where the sorting hat makes a mistake and a character has to struggle with being in the 'wrong' house. For example, a student sorted into Slytherin but with strong Hufflepuff traits. This can lead to a journey of self - discovery and challenging the stereotypes of the houses. Another type could be a time - travel fanfiction where a character goes back in time and tries to change the way the houses interact, maybe to prevent a future conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
