In the fanfic, Harry might refuse detention because he has a more important task at hand. For example, he has discovered a new lead on Voldemort's next move and he needs to follow it immediately rather than waste time in detention. He might convince his teacher, perhaps Hermione helps him make a logical argument, that this task is crucial for the safety of Hogwarts.
Perhaps Harry refuses detention because he has had enough of the unjust system at Hogwarts. He has seen how some students are given detention for minor things while others get away with much worse. So, when he is given detention this time, he refuses and starts a mini - revolution among the students. He gives a passionate speech about equality and fair treatment, which makes the teachers re - evaluate their detention policies.
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.
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.
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.
It could be that he has some personal traumas related to fighting. For example, he might have seen the negative consequences of fighting in the past, such as the loss of loved ones or destruction of places he cares about, so he refuses to engage in it. In addition, he may also be influenced by certain moral or ethical beliefs within the context of the fanfic's world, which lead him to oppose fighting.
Well, perhaps Snape sets them to clean the potions classroom. Draco tries to boss Harry around at first, but Harry refuses to be pushed. As they clean, they accidentally knock over a vial that releases a magical mist. The mist makes them relive some of their worst memories involving each other. This forces them to understand each other's perspectives better and by the end of detention, there's a less hostile air between them.
Well, in a detention with Snape in a Harry Potter fanfic, Harry might be forced to clean out the Potions storeroom. Snape could use this time to lecture Harry about his lack of respect for Potions as a subject. Maybe he would also drop some hints about Harry's father, James, which could be both infuriating and enlightening for Harry.
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.
One interesting plot point could be the two rivals being forced to work together during detention. They might start to see each other in a different light. For example, they could discover they both have a passion for a certain subject like potions, which they didn't know before because of their rivalry. Another plot point might be the challenges they face during the detention tasks. It could be something magical and dangerous that they have to overcome together, which builds an unexpected bond between them.
One possible reason could be that Harry has grown tired of the cycle of violence. He might have seen how much destruction the fight has already caused and decides that there has to be another way. Maybe he believes that by refusing to fight, he can break the pattern and find a more peaceful solution to end Voldemort's reign of terror.
It means that Harry has a negative attitude towards fanfic. Fanfic is fan - written fiction based on existing works. Harry might refuse it because he values the integrity of the original work. He could also be worried about legal issues associated with fanfic, such as copyright infringement. Additionally, he may not like the idea of others taking creative liberties with something he is associated with.
