Well, in many such fanfictions, the marriage contract is used as a plot device to introduce new conflicts and relationships. For example, it might bring her into contact with characters she wouldn't normally interact with. This can lead to interesting character development, like her learning about different wizarding families through the contract negotiations. And sometimes, it can also be a source of comedy when she tries to wriggle out of it in a very Harry - like way.
Another theme is secrecy and discovery. The nature of magical contracts can be mysterious, and characters may discover hidden clauses or implications. This adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the stories. For example, a character might find out that a contract they thought was simple has far - reaching consequences. Also, loyalty is often a theme. Contracts can test the loyalty of characters to each other or to a cause, and how they deal with that loyalty in the face of the contract's demands.
Well, in fanfiction, they usually involve some sort of exchange. The person making the contract gives something (like their soul or a great service) in return for power, knowledge, or protection. For example, a wizard might offer his soul to a demon in exchange for the ability to defeat Voldemort.
There could be a fanfiction where Harry Potter enters into a contract with a powerful magical creature. In this story, the contract might involve him protecting the creature's lair in exchange for a powerful magical item. This would create a unique bond between Harry and the creature and lead to many adventures as he tries to uphold his end of the deal.
First, know the 'Harry Potter' universe well. Understand the magic system, the characters' personalities, and the existing rules. For the contracts part, make them logical within the wizarding world. For example, a contract about a forbidden spell should have severe consequences. Second, create interesting plot twists related to the contracts. Maybe a contract is not what it seems at first.
In some Harry Potter marriage contracts fanfiction, an interesting concept is the revival of old pure - blood family traditions. For example, families might arrange marriages to preserve blood purity or regain lost status. Another concept could be the use of magic in the marriage contracts themselves, like spells that bind the couple's magic together. Also, the idea of how characters react to these pre - arranged marriages can be really engaging. Some characters might rebel against it, while others might see it as a duty.
I also like 'The Magic in the Contracts'. In this fanfiction, the author explores the different types of magical contracts and how they interact with the magic system in the Harry Potter world. It's a detailed exploration that fans of the series will surely enjoy.
Maybe it could be about Harry Potter himself, in an alternate universe where the concept of gay marriage contracts exists. Harry, as a symbol of change and acceptance, could be involved in a situation where he has to help a friend who is being discriminated against because of their desire to enter into a gay marriage contract. This could lead to a fight against old - fashioned pure - blood families who oppose such modern ideas.
There might be a fanfiction where a confused magical contract binds Harry to an old, forgotten magical law. As a result, he has to go on a quest to find a way to break it. Along the way, he discovers hidden secrets about Hogwarts and the wizarding world's past. This journey is filled with mystery and adventure, and he teams up with some unexpected allies, like a group of house - elves who have their own knowledge about the contract.
Some characters rebel. For example, Hermione might use her intelligence and knowledge of magic to find loopholes in the contract. She could be very vocal about her opposition to the archaic practice. Others, like Harry, might initially feel pressured but then try to communicate with the other party involved. They might try to come to an understanding and find a way to make the situation more bearable.
