A remarkable jersey real life story could be that of a high school football team in Jersey. Their jerseys were old and worn out, but they didn't have the funds to get new ones. One day, a group of former players who had made it big in different fields came together. They organized a fundraiser and not only got new jerseys for the team but also added special patches to commemorate the team's long - standing history. This act of kindness not only gave the current players new uniforms but also reignited the community's pride in the team.
It could be a symbol of Gryffindor's spirit in the fanfic. When Harry wields the flame, he is representing all the brave and noble qualities of the Gryffindor house, and it might inspire others around him to be braver too. Also, the flame might have some special abilities like being able to break dark spells or protect the innocent.
Maybe he stumbles upon it during a time of great danger in the fanfic. For example, when facing a powerful dark wizard, he might feel an unusual warmth and strength within him, and then realizes it's the power of the Gryffindor flame.
It could be a key to unlocking hidden secrets within the Gryffindor house. For example, there might be a secret chamber that only the one who can control the flame can access, and inside there are powerful spells or artifacts.
It depends on how you define 'real'. If you mean based on actual events, it might have some elements inspired by reality, but could also have fictional parts.
Maybe it's to fit certain moral or ethical standards set by the fanfiction community. For example, some interpretations of Harry's character might be considered too dark or out of character, so they censor it to keep the overall tone positive and in line with the general perception of Gryffindor values.
In some fanfictions, the sword is portrayed as having a sentient nature. It can communicate with the wielder, guiding them through difficult situations. For instance, it might give advice on how to defeat a powerful dark wizard.
The sword in fanfiction can also be a symbol of hope and courage in different ways than in the original books. Maybe it has the ability to glow brighter in the presence of true Gryffindors from other magical schools, uniting them in a time of great danger.
It could have completely changed the dynamics of the story. Draco's character might have developed differently surrounded by Gryffindor's values and friends.
