One idea could be a new type of spell being introduced in the dueling circuit that throws everyone off balance. Maybe a spell that can temporarily freeze an opponent's wand. Another could be a character from an unexpected house rising to the top of the dueling circuit rankings, like a Hufflepuff who has some unique dueling techniques.
In this fanfiction, a really cool plot could be that the dueling circuit is used as a cover for something more sinister. Maybe some dark wizards are using the chaos and excitement of the duels to smuggle dark artifacts. A young and brave character could then discover this plot and has to use their dueling skills not only to win matches but also to expose the real villains behind the scenes. The character might have to face off against some of the most powerful dark wizards in the dueling arena, making for some really intense and exciting duels.
One interesting plot idea could be that Harry discovers a new and ancient magic that gives him an unexpected edge in the duel. For example, he might find a spell that can temporarily freeze Voldemort's dark magic, allowing Harry to strike. Another could be that Harry has a vision during the duel that shows him the true source of Voldemort's power, and he uses this knowledge to target it directly. Maybe it's a hidden object or a bond with a dark entity that Harry manages to sever, weakening Voldemort.
One idea could be that during the duel, Harry discovers a hidden spell that Snape was about to use against Voldemort. So instead of a full - on fight, they end up in a truce to discuss this new revelation. This could lead to a whole new understanding between them.
Harry Potter himself is often a popular character in such fanfictions. Since he's a great dueler in the original series, he's likely to be a central figure in the dueling circuit. Hermione could also be popular as she's smart and could come up with unique dueling strategies. Ron might be there too, with his sometimes clumsy but ultimately effective dueling skills.
Well, there are dueling scenarios where characters from different generations meet in a magical duel. For example, a character from Harry's time might accidentally travel back and duel with a student from the Marauders' era. This can lead to some really creative uses of magic as they try to outwit each other with different spells and strategies they've learned in their respective times.
A great plotline is when a new student at Hogwarts, who has a mysterious background, enters a dueling tournament. They start out underestimated but as the duels progress, they show extraordinary skills that seem to be related to an ancient magic. Also, in some fanfiction, there are duels that involve magical creatures. For example, a wizard might have to duel while also protecting a unicorn from dark wizards. This adds an extra layer of complexity and danger to the duel. Additionally, a plotline could be about a character who has lost their magic in a duel and has to find a way to regain it through a series of challenges and duels.
One idea could be a modern - day AU where Inuyasha and the gang are in a high - school setting. Inuyasha, the half - demon, could be the new kid who catches the eye of a popular girl. Their relationship could start off rocky due to his rough exterior and her preppy friends not approving. But as they get to know each other better, they find a deep connection. Another plot could be a time - travel scenario where a character from the present day is sent back to Inuyasha's era and falls in love with him while trying to find a way back home. They have to navigate the differences in their cultures and the danger of the feudal era together.
One interesting plot could be a young wizard who is not well - known in the Hogwarts world suddenly discovers he has an extraordinary dueling talent. He then challenges the traditional dueling champions and changes the perception of dueling in the school. Another plot might involve a group of students creating their own unique dueling styles that combine different spells from various magical traditions.
In some fanfictions, there might be a plotline where the dueling champion discovers a long - lost spellbook that contains powerful dueling spells. But there's a catch - using these spells has unforeseen consequences. The champion then has to balance the power of these new spells with the potential risks while competing in the dueling championship.
In some fanfictions, the Dueling Club becomes a place for cross - house friendships to form. For example, a Gryffindor and a Slytherin might team up in the club, overcoming the house rivalries. They learn from each other's dueling styles and develop a unique bond that helps them in various challenges, not just in duels but also in dealing with the general Hogwarts politics.
One interesting storyline could be a character who is an underdog in the dueling tournament but discovers a hidden power or spell that helps them succeed. For example, a Hufflepuff student who has been overlooked in the past suddenly masters an ancient dueling technique.
