The plot of 'A Hero's Cry' Harry Potter fanfic could involve the hero dealing with inner demons, failed friendships, or a quest that takes a toll on their mental and emotional state. It all depends on the author's imagination!
One possible plot could be that a wizard has the ability to 'rent a hero' from a magical service. Harry Potter himself could be rented out to help a young, struggling wizard face a new dark threat in the wizarding world. He could use his skills and experiences to train this wizard and together they could uncover a plot by a group of Death Eaters who are trying to revive Voldemort in a new way.
The writing style in this fanfic could also set it apart. If the author has a very descriptive and engaging style, it can really draw readers in. They might use vivid language to describe the magical world of Harry Potter in 'A Heros Cry', making it feel like you are actually there, experiencing the story alongside the characters.
It could be about Harry facing a new, extremely powerful dark wizard that no one else seems to be able to handle. So, he has to step up even more than he did in the original series and become a true hero. Maybe he has to find a new kind of magic or form an unlikely alliance to defeat this new threat.
The cultural differences between the two worlds are also interesting. Harry Potter has a more traditional European - style magic setting, while Hero Academia is set in a modern, Japanese - inspired world. Fanfics play with these differences, like having Hogwarts students visit a Japanese hero school and experiencing cultural shock in a positive way for the story.
The fanfic 'A Matter of Mutation' usually involves some kind of magical transformation or mutation for the characters. It could be a new power or a physical change that drives the story.
Harry would be very cautious at first. He has been through so much and wouldn't trust just anyone. But if it was to save his friends or the wizarding world, he might consider it. He would probably grill the 'hero' on their motives and abilities. Hermione would approach it analytically. She would want to know all the rules and regulations of the 'Rent a Hero' service and study how it works before getting involved. Ron, on the other hand, might be more easily swayed by the idea of having a 'hero' around, especially if it meant getting out of a tough situation or getting some glory.
The plot could be that Colin accidentally uses a time - turning device and ends up in the past when Lily Potter was at Hogwarts. He initially panics but then realizes this is a unique opportunity. Colin befriends Lily and they have adventures together. He learns about her hopes, dreams, and her relationship with James Potter. When he returns to his own time, he has a new - found respect for Harry and his family. He uses the knowledge he gained from the past to help Harry in some way, like giving him advice based on what he learned about Lily's character and her experiences.
Since it's a fanfic, the plot could be all over the place. It might include Harry using his charm to woo multiple characters in Hogwarts. Maybe he's depicted as having a string of romantic adventures that are not in line with the original more innocent portrayal of his character in the official books. However, without reading it, it's hard to say exactly what the plot entails.
One idea could be exploring what would happen if Harry had a twin sister who was sorted into Slytherin. It would add a whole new dynamic to the story, with her having different views and friends than Harry. She could be caught between loyalty to her house and loyalty to her brother.
The fanfic could center around Harry's life outside of the main events of the books. For example, it could explore his summer holidays in more detail. He could be spending time in the Muggle world and using his magic in creative ways to solve normal, everyday problems. He might use magic to help his neighbor fix a broken fence without the neighbor realizing it was magic. This would add a new dimension to his character and show how he can adapt his magical abilities to different situations.
