A common plot in 'Harry Potter Dolores Umbridge Fanfiction' is her getting a taste of her own medicine. For example, in some stories, she is put through the same strict and cruel rules she imposes on others. It's a satisfying plot for those who dislike her character in the original books.
Another interesting plot is the exploration of her early days at the Ministry. Some fanfics show how she rose through the ranks and the events that shaped her into the person she became. This often involves her relationships with other Ministry officials and how she learned to manipulate the system.
Another idea is a time - travel fanfiction. Harry goes back in time and has to deal with Umbridge when she was a student. He tries to change her path so that she doesn't become the horrible person she is in his time. This could involve him befriending her and showing her the value of kindness and freedom.
There's also a fanfic called 'Umbridge Unmasked'. This one shows a different side of Umbridge. Instead of just being a one - dimensional villain, it explores her insecurities and how they drive her actions. It's an interesting take on her character that makes you think more about her role in the wizarding world.
The plot where Murtagh teaches Harry some of his unique magic techniques is really cool. It shows how different magical systems can interact. For example, in a fanfic I read, Murtagh showed Harry how to use a spell that was common in his world but unheard of in Hogwarts.
One interesting non - smut fanfiction could be about Dolores Umbridge facing a moral dilemma. Maybe she has to choose between following the Ministry's strict orders blindly or doing what she believes is right for the students, which is a very different take from smut - related stories. Also, there could be fanfictions where she is the main character in a mystery at Hogwarts, trying to solve a problem that has nothing to do with adult or inappropriate themes.
A great plot twist could be that Umbridge is actually an undercover agent for the Order of the Phoenix all along. She has been playing the role of the villain to get closer to the Death Eaters at Hogwarts. Harry discovers this accidentally and has to work with her in secret to take down Voldemort's supporters in the school.
She would probably be outraged. Umbridge is a strict and rather narrow - minded character in the original series. Fanfiction often takes creative liberties that she would likely see as subverting the 'proper' order of the wizarding world she thinks she upholds.
A common plot is the expansion of Dumbledore's Army. Writers often explore new members joining, different training methods, and more elaborate secret operations against Umbridge. Another plot is the personal vendettas students have against Umbridge. For example, Harry might be more directly confrontational in fanfiction compared to the books.
In 'The Mysterious Bond between Harry and Grindelwald', the plot focuses on a strange, unspoken bond that seems to exist between the two. This bond affects their decisions and actions throughout the story. It's a unique take on their relationship and makes for a very engaging read.
One of the most interesting plots could be Snape having to protect Harry in a very unexpected way. For example, in a fanfic where dark magic has been unleashed in a different form and it targets Harry specifically. Snape, despite his initial reluctance, realizes that Harry is the key to stopping it and has to put aside their differences. Another plot could involve Snape and Harry being transported to an alternate magical realm where they have to rely on each other to survive. They slowly start to understand each other's past traumas and develop a grudging respect. A third plot might be that Snape discovers a long - lost prophecy about Harry that changes his perception of him completely and he becomes his secret mentor in a much more involved way than in the original books.
In some fanfics, the plot might involve Harry using his snake form to spy on the Death Eaters. For example, he could slither into their secret meetings undetected. Another interesting plot could be that his snake form is somehow connected to Salazar Slytherin. Maybe he discovers that his ability to turn into a snake is part of an ancient bloodline magic.
