A popular trope is the 'teacher - student relationship' explored in a different way. Maybe a student has a closer or more complex relationship with a teacher than in the original books. There's also the 'enemies - to - lovers' trope, which is quite common especially for characters who were enemies in the original story like Draco and Hermione. And the 'lost - heir' trope, where a character discovers they are the heir to an important wizarding family or a powerful magical object, which then drives the plot of the fanfiction.
One of the common tropes is the 'soul - bond' trope. In fanfiction, characters might be magically bonded at a soul level, which affects their relationship and actions. For example, Harry and Hermione could be soul - bonded, and it would change how they interact with each other and other characters. Another trope is the 'secret identity' trope. A character might have a secret identity or past that is slowly revealed throughout the fanfiction, adding drama and mystery. The 'reincarnation' trope is also seen sometimes, where a character is the reincarnation of someone from the past in the wizarding world.
