The snake could act as a deterrent to those who want to harm Harry. There are always some students or even some dark forces that might target Harry. But the presence of the snake, with its menacing look and potential for danger, could make those people think twice before attacking Harry. Also, the snake could be a source of comfort for Harry when he's feeling lonely or stressed at Hogwarts.
The snake could help Harry find his way around Hogwarts. You know, Hogwarts is a huge and complex place. The snake might be able to sense the different magical auras of different areas and lead Harry to where he needs to go, like the library when he has to study for an important exam or the Room of Requirement when he's in a tight spot.
Well, in some fanfictions, he might find it in the Forbidden Forest during one of his adventures. Maybe it was injured and he felt a connection to it, so he decided to take it as a pet.
Maybe it's an anonymous gift from someone who has been observing Harry. This person could be a former student of Hogwarts who has a special connection to snakes and sees that Harry has a kind heart and would take good care of the snake. So they leave the snake for Harry to find with a simple note that just says 'For Harry Potter'.
Perhaps he would name it 'Slyther', as a play on the Slytherin house name. Given that snakes are often associated with the Slytherin house in the Harry Potter universe, it would be a fitting name for his pet snake.
The snake might use its ability to move stealthily. It could spy on the enemies for Harry Potter. For example, it can slither into hidden places where humans can't easily reach and gather important information.
There probably are. Fanfic writers love to explore different ideas within the Harry Potter universe. A story where Harry has a pet snake animagus could be really interesting. It might involve new magical abilities or adventures related to the snake form. However, it could also be a bit of a challenge to fit into the existing lore, but that's the fun of fanfiction.
Well, they might go on adventures in the Forbidden Forest. The snake could use its unique abilities to sense danger and hidden paths. For example, it could lead Harry to discover some long - lost magic artifacts or secret chambers that are not known to most wizards. They could also encounter some magical creatures together and the snake could help Harry communicate with them in some special way.
No. In the original 'Harry Potter' series, Harry is Voldemort's archenemy, not his pet snake. Fanfiction might play with strange and unorthodox ideas, but this goes against the fundamental nature of their relationship in the official story.
A great Harry Potter pet snake fanfiction might involve the snake being a key to unlocking a hidden chamber in Hogwarts that no one knew about. In this story, the snake's unique markings could be the clue to a series of puzzles that lead to this secret chamber filled with powerful magical artifacts. Or perhaps a fanfiction where the snake has a telepathic connection with Harry, allowing them to communicate without words. This could lead to some really interesting plot twists, like the snake helping Harry during the Triwizard Tournament by giving him advice that no one else could hear.
In this fanfiction, Harry might find the snake in the Forbidden Forest. The snake could be a magical one with special powers, like being able to communicate telepathically with Harry. It could help Harry in his adventures, for example, by warning him of danger in the school corridors.
There could be. Fanfiction often takes the existing elements of a story and twists them in new ways. Given that Cerberus is a well - known mythological creature and the Harry Potter series already has a connection to it (like the three - headed dog Fluffy), it's not far - fetched to think that a fanfic writer would create a story where Harry has a pet Cerberus. However, it might be a bit of a wild concept considering how dangerous Cerberus is in the original mythology.
