One idea could be to cross it with the world of Narnia. Imagine the Triwizard champions having to face challenges in the magical land of Narnia. They might have to deal with the White Witch's minions or find their way through the enchanted forest. Another idea is a crossover with the Percy Jackson universe. The demigods could participate in the Triwizard Tournament, bringing their unique powers and abilities. For example, a son of Poseidon might use his water - controlling powers in a water - based task.
Combine different magic systems. For example, if crossing with the Magicians world, mix the Hogwarts magic with Brakebills' magic. The champions could struggle to adapt to new spells and incantations. Another way is to change the nature of the tasks. Instead of the usual tasks, make them more like a detective mystery where the champions have to solve a magical crime to progress in the tournament.
One possible scenario in this fanfiction could be that Harry and Fleur form an unexpected alliance during the Triwizard Tournament tasks. They might discover they have complementary skills, like Harry's courage and Fleur's elegance and magic related to water (since she's from Beauxbatons). This alliance could lead to them facing the challenges in a new and interesting way, perhaps with Fleur using her Veela charm in a creative manner to distract the obstacles while Harry uses his Gryffindor bravery to take on the more physical parts of the tasks.
There are fanfictions where Hermione and Fleur become friends during the Triwizard Tournament. In some stories, they start to see past their initial rivalries. Fleur might initially see Hermione as just a book - smart girl, but as they face the challenges of the tournament together, they develop a mutual respect. Maybe they work together on the Yule Ball preparations within the context of the tournament, which helps to strengthen their bond.
One great fanfiction could be where Harry and Luna team up in a unique way during the Triwizard Tournament tasks. Maybe Luna uses her off - beat magical knowledge to help Harry solve the puzzles in the maze. For example, she might recognize some magical creatures that Harry is unfamiliar with and guide him through.
In a fanfiction, Draco could be chosen as an unwilling participant in the Triwizard Tournament. Maybe the Goblet of Fire was tampered with by some dark forces who thought Draco would be an easy puppet. As he goes through the tasks, he starts to show unexpected courage and loyalty, much to everyone's surprise.
One possible fanfiction could be about Harry and Hermione teaming up secretly during the Triwizard Tournament tasks. They might use their combined knowledge and skills to outwit the other competitors. For example, in the maze task, they could have a special code to communicate and find their way to the Triwizard Cup faster than anyone else.
In some fanfictions, the author might explore the idea that the person who dragged Harry into the Triwizard Tournament has a personal vendetta against him. Maybe it's a relative of a Death Eater who wants to see Harry fail publicly or even die during the tournament. Harry then has to not only survive the tasks but also figure out who is behind this plot against him.
Maybe in fanfiction, Harry hates the Triwizard Tournament because it brings too much danger and unwanted attention. He has to face powerful opponents and deal with complex rules that he may not be fully prepared for.
One possible fanfiction could be about Harry getting amnesia during the Triwizard Tournament and Luna being the one to help him remember. Maybe she uses her unique perspective and knowledge of magical creatures and odd things to jog his memory. For example, she might take him to see the Thestrals, which are associated with death and memory in the wizarding world.
