She could be a secret prodigy. Maybe she's been hiding her true magical abilities because she doesn't want to overshadow Neville. But then, in a time of great danger at Hogwarts, she reveals her skills to save the day.
A possible plot could be that Neville's little sister is a transfer student from another magical school. When she arrives at Hogwarts, she has a hard time fitting in at first. But through her relationship with Neville and his friends, she slowly discovers the true meaning of friendship and loyalty at Hogwarts. Along the way, she might also uncover some secrets about the school that no one else knew.
Well, I've come across some. One interesting fanfiction had Neville's little sister being a really talented witch in her own right, but she was a bit of a rebel. She often got into trouble for breaking the school rules in creative ways while also helping Neville gain more confidence. Another one focused on her friendship with the Weasley twins and all the mischief they got into together. It's really fun to explore these different takes on a potential character.
One way it could work is if Neville was a Slytherin due to a sorting error at first. Maybe the Sorting Hat initially misread his qualities. In the fanfiction, he could then struggle with the Slytherin ideals that are often misaligned with his Gryffindor - like traits in the original series. He might face prejudice from his housemates for being different. However, over time, he could start to show them that courage can exist in Slytherin too and he could even change some of their views.
Friendship is a very common theme. Since Neville is often seen as an underdog, a female character in the fanfiction usually forms a strong bond with him, like in many stories where they become study partners and support each other through difficult classes at Hogwarts.
One great Neville Longbottom fanfiction is 'The Ascent of Neville'. It shows Neville's growth and his journey to becoming a powerful wizard. It really delves into his character and gives him more depth than what we see in the original books.
One interesting Neville Longbottom muscle - related fanfiction could be where Neville trains hard in secret to become a powerful wizard with physical strength as an added asset. Maybe he uses his newfound muscle and strength to stand up to bullies at Hogwarts in a more assertive way.
Sure. 'Neville's Time - A Wizard's Rewind' is a great one. In this fanfiction, Neville travels back to his first year at Hogwarts. He uses his knowledge of future events and his own growth as a wizard to change how he was perceived in the past. He becomes a more confident student right from the start and starts to influence his classmates in positive ways.
Character development is a key characteristic. Since it's about Neville in a slash relationship, the author usually spends a lot of time evolving his character to fit into this new narrative. This could mean showing his growth from a shy boy to someone more confident in love. Also, the relationship itself is often portrayed with a lot of detail, exploring the dynamics between Neville and the other character, be it love, friendship, or something in between.
He could be a reformer. Neville might try to change the negative perception of Slytherin. He would see the good in his housemates and encourage them to use their Slytherin traits for good. For example, he could convince them that their ambition can be used to improve the wizarding world, not just for personal gain.
One common theme is friendship. Fanfics often explore the bond between Harry and Neville, showing how they support each other through difficult times at Hogwarts. Another theme is growth. Neville's development from a shy and often overlooked student to a powerful wizard is a popular topic. For example, in many fanfictions, Neville discovers new magical abilities or overcomes his insecurities in ways that weren't fully explored in the original books.
One common theme is growth. Both Neville and Hannah grow as individuals and as a couple. Another theme is support. They often support each other through different challenges. For example, in some fanfictions, Neville helps Hannah deal with her family issues, and Hannah supports Neville in his teaching at Hogwarts.
