In this fanfiction, the plot might show Harry's transformation into a Dark Lord as a result of some major betrayal in the wizarding world. For example, if the Ministry of Magic turned against him or if his friends were seriously harmed by the 'good' side. He could then start to see the power of the dark side as a means to exact revenge and reshape the wizarding world according to his own vision. He might recruit former Death Eaters or create his own dark followers.
In the Harry Potter fanfiction," Starting from Hogwarts," the protagonist artificially created the third generation of the Dark Lord, Peter Pettigrew. The protagonist himself was the Gray Lord, and Harry Potter did not become the third generation of the Dark Lord. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban wasn't enough.

The Order of the Phoenix would be likely antagonists. Since Harry has turned to the dark side, they would see him as a threat to the peace and safety of the wizarding world. Dumbledore, if he were still alive in the fanfiction, would also oppose Harry. He would try to use his wisdom and power to bring Harry back to the light. Another antagonist could be Neville Longbottom. Neville, who has always been a symbol of resistance against the dark side, would not stand for Harry becoming a dark lord and would fight against him to protect Hogwarts and the values it stands for.
One interesting plotline could be how Harry's relationships change. His friends might initially try to save him from the dark path, leading to intense emotional confrontations. For example, Hermione could use her vast knowledge to find a way to reverse whatever made Harry turn dark, while Ron might be more impulsive in his attempts to bring Harry back. Another plotline could involve the wizarding world's reaction. The Ministry of Magic would likely see Harry as a huge threat and try to stop him, which could lead to all - out war. And Harry himself might have new powers or a different understanding of magic as a dark lord, which could introduce unique magical elements into the story.
The main antagonists could be his former friends, like Hermione and Ron. Since Harry is becoming a Dark Lord, they would oppose his new, darker ways. They would try to stop him from causing too much harm to the wizarding world, which would put them in direct conflict with him.
Well, one possible plot development could be that Harry starts to question the existing power structures in the wizarding world. Maybe he feels that the so - called good side has its own flaws and secrets. He might then begin to amass his own power, secretly at first, perhaps by seeking out dark magic spells that have been long forgotten. He could start to gather followers who are also disillusioned with the status quo.
In this fanfiction, it's likely that Harry's newfound lordship at age 7 will have a significant impact on his relationship with the Dursleys. They might be even more intimidated by him, or perhaps they try to take advantage of his new status in some way. Harry, on the other hand, could use his new power to free himself from their abuse and start living a more independent life within the wizarding world. He may also discover new magical abilities or artifacts associated with his Potter heritage that help him in his journey.
One possibility is that Harry's love for Hermione drives him to believe that the only way to protect her is by taking on the power of a Dark Lord. He might see the existing wizarding world as too corrupt or dangerous to keep her safe. So, he starts to study dark magic, gradually changing his nature. He could form new alliances with dark creatures or wizards who were previously shunned. This would put Hermione in a difficult position as she has always been on the side of good, but her love for Harry might make her question her own beliefs and try to sway him back to the light.
The concept of Harry as a Dark Lord in fanfiction is alluring because it subverts the original story. It allows fans to explore the 'what if' scenarios. What if Harry had given in to the power-hungry side? It gives a chance to rewrite the power structure in the wizarding world.
Often, Harry as a lord may have to deal with the political side of the wizarding world. He might face opposition from the old pure - blood families who don't want a 'half - blood' lord to have so much power. So, there could be a lot of intrigue and power struggles in the story.
It might not be as mainstream as some other genres. Most fans prefer to see Harry as a hero rather than a Dark Lord supporter. However, in the vast world of fanfiction, there are always niche ideas, and this could appeal to a small subset of fans who like exploring darker and more subversive storylines.
