When Harry Potter refuses detention in fanfiction, the plot may develop in a way that Harry starts to question the entire Hogwarts disciplinary system. He could form a group of like - minded students who also have issues with the way detentions are given. This group might then try to change the system from within. Meanwhile, the faculty would be in an uproar, with some teachers seeing Harry as a troublemaker and others perhaps secretly admiring his courage. The story could then focus on the power struggle between the students and the teachers over the detention system.
Well, in fanfiction, Harry's refusal of detention could be a major turning point. It might lead to him exploring other ways to solve the problems that led to the detention in the first place. Maybe he discovers a new magic or finds an ally who helps him deal with the underlying issues. But on the other hand, it could also put him at odds with Hogwarts' traditional ways. The teachers would be forced to re - evaluate their discipline methods, and Harry would have to deal with the fallout, which could include being ostracized by some or having to prove his point in a very difficult situation.
One possibility is that Harry stands up against an unfair detention. Maybe he has evidence that he was wrongly accused of something, like when Snape tries to give him detention unjustly. So he refuses and decides to take his case to Dumbledore, who then investigates and clears Harry's name.
His friends in the wizarding world might try to convince him to come back. This could lead to a lot of internal conflict for Harry as he decides between his old life and the new non - wizard one he's trying to build. There could be a series of events where his wizard friends show him the good parts of magic that he's forgotten or never fully appreciated.
Their relationship can develop as they are forced to spend time together during detention. Harry might start to see Snape's tough exterior as a mask for his insecurities or past traumas. For example, when Snape shares a bit of his knowledge about a difficult potion, Harry realizes Snape is not just out to get him.
Well, Harry could be forced to clean the Potions classroom during detention. Snape might make him scrub every cauldron by hand while muttering about how clumsy Gryffindors are. Harry might accidentally spill a potion ingredient, which makes Snape even angrier and gives him more tasks to do, like sorting out all the potion ingredients in the store cupboard.
Hermione would probably be a bit worried at first. She's always been one to follow the rules, but she also supports Harry. So she might try to convince him to find a more diplomatic way to handle it. Ron, on the other hand, would be more on Harry's side right away. He'd say something like 'Good for you, Harry!' The teachers would be shocked. Snape would be furious and might try to give him an even harsher punishment, while McGonagall might be more understanding and listen to Harry's reasons.
The fight against Voldemort would be very different. Since Hogwarts is a key place in the battle against the Dark Lord, if Harry isn't there, the defenses of Hogwarts might not be set up in the same way. Also, he won't be trained by the professors, so his magical skills won't develop as they did in the original story. Without Harry at Hogwarts, the balance of power between good and evil in the wizarding world could shift in a very unexpected way.
It could mean that the official Harry Potter franchise doesn't support or allow fan - made fictional works. Maybe they have certain copyright or brand - image concerns.
She might be heartbroken. Ginny could initially be in shock and disbelief. She may retreat into herself, spending a lot of time alone in her room, crying and trying to understand why Harry would refuse.
One interesting scenario could be when the characters are in detention and they discover a hidden magical object. For example, in some fanfictions, Harry and his friends might find an old, enchanted diary during detention in the castle. This diary could hold secrets or be a portal to another time or place.
