In this fanfiction, perhaps Harry could use his wits more than magic. He might outsmart his enemies by setting up elaborate traps, like he did with the troll in the first year but on a much larger scale. He could use his knowledge of Hogwarts' secret passages to his advantage, leading his foes into dead - ends.
One possibility is that Harry starts to fight using non - traditional magic. He could explore the more ancient and forgotten magics that are not taught at Hogwarts. Maybe he discovers a form of magic that is based on nature, like using the power of the forest around Hogwarts. He could communicate with the magical creatures there and enlist their help in his battles. This would be a completely different way of fighting compared to the typical wand - waving duels we see in the original books.
It could be a group of dark wizards who have a different ideology from Voldemort. They might not be interested in pure - blood supremacy but rather in power for power's sake. They could be more cunning and use more psychological warfare against Harry, which would force him to fight in new ways.
Well, it could be that Harry is facing some new dark forces in the fanfiction. Maybe he discovers a hidden group of dark wizards who are plotting against Hogwarts, and he decides to fight back to protect his school and friends.
In a 'Harry Fights Alone' fanfiction, the plot could involve Harry being betrayed by his friends. Maybe they are put under a spell that makes them turn against him. Harry then has to face the dark forces all by himself. He might have to rely on his own wits and the few spells he has mastered alone. For example, he could be in a situation where he has to battle Voldemort's minions without Ron and Hermione to back him up, and he discovers new powers within himself during this struggle.
The fanfiction could start with Harry being magically transported to Kaguya's world. He'd be confused at first but quickly realize he has to fight to survive. Harry's wand would be his main weapon. He might learn some new spells during the fight, perhaps a spell that can nullify Kaguya's ability to freeze time. As the fight progresses, both characters would start to respect each other's power, leading to an unexpected alliance at the end.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, the court in the wizarding world has been corrupted. Harry discovers some dark secrets within the court system. He then decides to fight against it to bring justice. He might start by gathering evidence against those who are misusing their power in the court.
Well, perhaps Teddy is in some sort of danger. Maybe he's being targeted by dark wizards because of his connection to Harry. Harry, being the heroic type, decides to fight to protect Teddy. He could use his magic skills and the support of his friends like Hermione and Ron to keep Teddy safe.
Well, perhaps Harry has to use his magic skills to resist some sort of spell or curse that is trying to force him into hibernation. Maybe there are dark forces at work trying to put him out of action for a long time.
In a Harry Potter vs Odin fanfiction, it could start with Odin thinking Harry is a threat to the Asgardian way. Harry, on the other hand, is just trying to protect Hogwarts. The fight might involve Odin using his powerful spear Gungnir while Harry combines his Patronus charm with some of the more powerful dark arts spells he's learned in his fight against Voldemort. But Harry would be reluctant to fully embrace the dark arts as it goes against his nature.
Maybe Harry Potter discovers a new dark threat in the fanfiction and has to fight it using his magical skills and the support of his friends. He could be facing a powerful dark wizard who has found a way to break through Hogwarts' defenses.
Well, I haven't actually read this specific fanfiction, but generally speaking, it might involve Harry using his magic skills to combat the Chitauri. Maybe he'd use spells like Expelliarmus to disarm them or Protego to shield himself from their attacks. He could also team up with some of his wizard friends to take on the Chitauri threat.
