In some fanfiction, Harry changes his life by changing his attitude towards his enemies. Instead of always being on the defensive, he tries to understand them. For instance, he might reach out to some of the children of Death Eaters and tries to show them a different path. This not only changes his relationship with his former foes but also earns him respect from both sides of the conflict. It also changes the way the wizarding world perceives him, from a simple hero to a peacemaker.
Harry may also change his life by taking a more active role in the wizarding government. He could use his popularity and influence to reform some of the archaic laws and regulations. For example, he might push for better treatment of house - elves or more inclusive policies for Muggle - born wizards. This would reshape the wizarding society and also his own role within it.
Another way is through different relationships. He may form a stronger bond with certain characters like Luna Lovegood. Together, they could start a club or organization within Hogwarts that promotes understanding and acceptance among different houses, which in turn changes his social standing and how he views the wizarding world.
In some fanfiction concepts, he might change his soul through powerful magic spells. Maybe he discovers an ancient spell in a hidden book in the Room of Requirement that has the power to transform his very essence, his soul.
If Harry changes his look to seem more intimidating, it might make some of his enemies more cautious around him. For example, if he has a more severe look with a long beard and a scowl, the Death Eaters might think twice before attacking him. As for his friends, they might be a bit taken aback at first but would quickly accept the new look.
In a science - fiction fanfiction, an alien character hiccups in a way that emits a frequency that disrupts all the technology on a spaceship. This changes the entire situation on the ship, from a normal voyage to a chaotic scramble to fix things and understand what's happening. It also affects the relationships between the human and alien characters as they try to deal with the situation together.
With his friends, it could initially cause confusion. They are so used to calling him Harry that the new name might be a bit of a shock. But if they understand his reasons, they would likely support him. For example, Hermione might be the first to adapt and help others adjust, using her logical thinking to see the benefits of the name change.
One consequence could be that his relationships change. His friends might not recognize the new 'soul - changed' Harry at first, leading to some initial confusion and distance in their friendships.
One popular fanfiction with this concept might be 'The Evans Potter Chronicles' which delves into how Harry's decision to change his name impacts his relationships within the wizarding world. It shows how his friends react and how it changes the power dynamics. Another could be 'A New Identity: Evans Potter' which focuses more on his internal struggle and the reasons behind wanting the name change, like escaping the Potter legacy's burden.
Hermione would probably be very curious at first. She'd want to research all about the Peverell family to understand the significance of Harry's decision. Ron, on the other hand, might be a bit more confused and a little worried that Harry is trying to distance himself too much from their group. But overall, they would support him because they are his true friends.
In Twilight fanfiction, a moment like when two characters have an unexpected encounter can change everything. For example, if a minor vampire character accidentally stumbles upon Bella and Edward during a private moment. This could lead to that character spreading rumors or trying to use the information to their advantage, which would then cause problems in the relationship between Bella and Edward and also within the vampire community.
In some fanfictions, Harry might change his identity to protect his friends. For example, if Voldemort was specifically targeting those close to Harry, he could change his look and name so that his friends would no longer be in danger. He could also change his identity to study dark magic secretly in order to better understand Voldemort's power and find a way to defeat him without putting others at risk.
