Well, it often starts with an unexpected encounter. Maybe Harry stumbles upon the dragon in a hidden place. At first, the dragon might be wary but then realizes Harry is special. As time goes on, they start to trust each other. The dragon might start to protect Harry from threats, and Harry in turn, might learn to communicate with the dragon in a unique way.
One good example could be 'Dragon's Guardian of Harry'. In this fanfic, the dragon might take on a role of protecting Harry in ways that the normal wizarding world fails to. It could add a whole new layer of adventure and danger, with the dragon's unique abilities coming into play.
These fanfics are appealing as they offer a different take on the relationship between Harry and Padfoot. Instead of just being friends, Harry becomes a sort of protector and caregiver. It adds a new layer of depth to their connection. Also, it allows for some creative storytelling, like how Harry might deal with Padfoot's werewolf side in a domestic setting, which is really interesting.
One possible plot could be that Harry discovers a young Tom in a difficult situation, perhaps an orphanage similar to his own past. He decides to take Tom under his wing out of a sense of empathy. Harry then tries to guide Tom away from the dark path he originally took in the canon. For example, he might introduce Tom to the world of positive magic and friendship early on, which could change Tom's perspective on life and magic.
The main characters are Loki and Harry. Loki, the adopted father figure, brings his own set of skills, powers, and a rather complex personality from his Asgardian heritage. Harry, on the other hand, is the young wizard who has his own history and challenges in the wizarding world.
One common theme is family. Since Sirius is adopting Harry, it explores the idea of creating a new family unit. It often shows how they bond and become a family in their own way.
In a 'Grindelwald Adopts Harry' fanfic, Grindelwald could be seeking to create an heir of sorts. He adopts Harry when he is very young. Grindelwald might expose Harry to a world of magic that is different from what he would have known at Hogwarts. Harry could be taught magic that is more about power and control. However, as Harry gets older, he might discover the truth about Grindelwald's dark deeds and his plans for the wizarding world. This could lead to a great internal struggle within Harry as he has to choose between the man who raised him and what he believes is right for the wizarding community as a whole. There could be a lot of drama as Harry tries to find his place and figure out his true identity in this new and rather dark scenario.
Well, one possibility could be that Voldemort adopts Harry as a way to control the wizarding world. He might think that by having Harry on his side, the resistance against him will crumble. Another could be that Voldemort discovers some sort of connection between him and Harry that makes him want to take Harry under his wing, perhaps related to some long - forgotten prophecy.
Harry might become more conflicted. He'd be exposed to Grindelwald's ideas which could make him question the black - and - white view of good and evil he had before. His confidence could waver as he's no longer in the familiar Hogwarts environment.
Well, in the 'Harry adopts Padfoot fanfic' titled 'A Home for Padfoot', it starts with Harry finding Padfoot in a rather pitiful state. Harry's decision to adopt him is based on his sense of justice and his own longing for family. The fic then explores how they build a home together, with Harry learning more about Padfoot's past and Padfoot finding new purpose in protecting Harry. It's a great read for those who love this kind of fanfic.
