In this fanfiction, perhaps there are magical creatures that are drawn to the graveyard for some unknown reason. The students might try to befriend these creatures to understand why they are there. It could also involve a new spell or magical object that is related to the graveyard and Hogwarts students are on a quest to find it.
Well, a really interesting plotline could be that the graveyard has a connection to an ancient Hogwarts secret. The students start noticing strange things like old ghosts acting differently or certain areas of the castle being affected. As they dig deeper, they find that there was a powerful wizard buried in the graveyard long ago and his magic is starting to seep out and cause chaos.
It's possible that some of the Hogwarts professors, such as Professor Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, are main characters. Dumbledore with his vast knowledge of magic and McGonagall with her no - nonsense attitude. They could be guiding the students in their investigations of the graveyard or trying to keep them safe from any potential threats.
One interesting plotline could be their rivalry evolving into an unexpected friendship. Maybe they find out they have more in common than they thought when facing a common enemy at Hogwarts, like a particularly difficult dark magic creature that threatens the school.
One interesting plotline could be the culture clash between Smeltings and Hogwarts. Since Smeltings is known for its strict and perhaps more traditional ways compared to Hogwarts' more inclusive and magical diversity. For example, a Smeltings student might struggle to adapt to the use of magic for everyday tasks at Hogwarts, like using a levitation charm instead of doing things manually as they were taught at Smeltings.
One interesting plotline could be Harry discovering ancient magic secrets related to his status as heir. Maybe he finds a hidden chamber in Hogwarts that only the heir can access, filled with powerful spells and artifacts.
Well, perhaps a plotline where Harry has to deal with a new dark threat that is targeting Hogwarts specifically. As headmaster, he would use his knowledge of the Dark Arts and his friends' expertise to protect the school. He could also start new traditions at Hogwarts to boost the morale of students and staff alike.
One interesting plotline could be Draco trying to redeem himself in the wizarding world post - Hogwarts. He might start by using his family's wealth and influence for good, like funding charities for those affected by the war. Another could be his struggle to find true friendship outside of the Slytherin clique he was part of at school. He could also be on a journey to discover a new type of magic that was previously unknown to him, perhaps something that can help heal the divides in the wizarding community.
Perhaps the plot could involve a time - travel related issue. Maybe someone has messed with time in Hogwarts, and Hermione's memories are the only way to figure out what went wrong. So, the Hogwarts community watches her memories to see if there are any hints about the time - travel event and how to fix it. It could also be that a new student is having trouble fitting in, and Hermione's memories of her own early days at Hogwarts are shown to help the new student feel more at home.
Another plotline could be that they see a future where the relationships between different ninja clans are completely different. This makes them realize the importance of unity. So, they start to work on improving the relationships between clans in their present time. They might even try to break down some of the long - standing barriers and prejudices between the clans.
Perhaps a key plot point is how the castle itself reacts during the battle. In the fanfiction, it might show Hogwarts as a sentient entity, protecting its inhabitants in unique ways as it witnesses the final showdown. This could include magical barriers or even the portraits getting involved in some way.
I'm not sure if 'Hogwarts reads the graveyard fanfiction' is a popular one specifically. There are countless Harry Potter fanfictions out there, and popularity can vary greatly. It depends on factors like how well - written it is, how unique the plot is, and whether it manages to attract the attention of the large Harry Potter fan community. If it has a really interesting take on the Hogwarts setting and the graveyard concept, it might gain some popularity over time.
