Well, you could write a fanfiction where a Diagon Alley street vendor discovers that they have a special power. They start to use this power to help out the other vendors and customers in Diagon Alley. For example, they might be able to sense when someone is about to be scammed and stop it. Or, a story could focus on a young witch who wants to open her own shop in Diagon Alley but faces a lot of opposition from the established shopkeepers. She has to prove herself by creating unique magical items that no one has ever seen before. This could involve her going on adventures outside of Diagon Alley to find rare ingredients and then coming back to set up her shop against all odds.
One idea could be a story about a young wizard who discovers a hidden, long - forgotten shop in Diagon Alley. Maybe it has magical artifacts that are tied to an ancient prophecy. Another could be a fanfic where a group of students start a secret club in Diagon Alley to practice a new form of magic that's not taught at Hogwarts. Or perhaps a story where a character has to solve a mystery involving a series of strange disappearances in Diagon Alley shops.
He might have to deal with a lot of administrative work. Running Diagon Alley means taking care of all the shops, making sure the wizards and witches who work there are happy, and dealing with any disputes. For example, if two shop owners have an argument over a piece of land in Diagon Alley, Harry would have to step in and sort it out.
Well, in some fanfictions, it could be due to a powerful spell gone wrong that transfers the ownership to him. Maybe a spell meant to protect Diagon Alley's property rights backfires and suddenly Harry is the owner.
Yes, there are quite a few. You can find them on some popular fanfiction websites like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. Some of these fanfictions explore unique storylines where Harry's upbringing in Diagon Alley exposes him to different magical cultures and characters earlier, leading to some really interesting twists on the original story.
One common theme is the exploration of different magical sub - cultures within Diagon Alley. Since it's a hub of magic, Harry could be exposed to various types of magic that are not as prominent in the original series. Another theme could be his relationship with the magical creatures that are often found in Diagon Alley, like owls or the goblins at Gringotts.
One possible plot twist could be that Snape reveals a secret mission he has in Diagon Alley related to Harry's parents. Maybe he takes Harry to a hidden shop that holds clues about James and Lily Potter. This could lead to a moment of bonding between Snape and Harry as they both share a connection to his parents.
An interesting original character could be a half - elf named Elio. He works in a Diagon Alley bakery, baking magical pastries with ingredients that have special properties. He has a troubled past, being half - elf, and is trying to make a name for himself in the wizarding world. Also, a character like a young wizard named Finn who is a bit of a troublemaker. He's always getting into scrapes in Diagon Alley, whether it's accidentally setting off fireworks in the middle of the street or trying to steal a peek at the new brooms in Quality Quidditch Supplies before they're officially released. There could also be an old wizard named Aldric who has a shop full of enchanted maps that show not only the wizarding world but also hidden realms that no one else knows about.
Maybe it's a new character created by the fanfiction author. This new character could have special abilities or a unique backstory that ties into the reason for escorting Harry to Diagon Alley.
Well, he could meet some new and mysterious characters. Maybe a young wizard with a strange power who becomes his friend or an old wizard with a hidden agenda. He might also discover a new magical shop that sells unique items not found in the regular Diagon Alley stores.
Well, he might encounter a new magical creature that is not in the original books. For example, a tiny dragon that can speak and becomes his little friend, guiding him through the Alley and showing him some hidden shops.
One interesting fanfiction could be about a young wizard discovering a hidden magic shop in Diagon Alley in 1993. Maybe it has some rare magical items that are key to solving a mystery in the wizarding world.
