I really liked 'The Hidden Betrothal Contract'. It's a story that starts with the discovery of a long - forgotten betrothal contract that involves Harry Potter. The author does a great job of exploring the implications of such a contract in the context of the relationships and politics within the wizarding world. It's full of twists and turns that keep you hooked from start to finish.
One popular Harry Potter betrothal fanfic is 'The Betrothal Bond'. It weaves an interesting story around the idea of arranged betrothals in the wizarding world. Another is 'Unexpected Betrothal' which takes a unique spin on the concept by involving characters that you might not expect to be betrothed in the original series.
One interesting plotline could be the discovery of the betrothal contract and how it throws Harry's life into chaos. Maybe he has to deal with a whole new set of expectations and relationships he never anticipated.
One common theme is the struggle against tradition. The betrothal contract often represents an old - fashioned wizarding custom that the characters have to come to terms with. For example, Harry might not be happy about being bound by such a contract in a modern - day Hogwarts.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself would be a main character. Since it's about a betrothal contract related to him. And probably the person he is betrothed to, whoever that may be in the fanfic's universe.
A great plot in this type of fanfiction might involve the betrothal contract being a key to unlocking some long - forgotten magic. Harry and the other character involved in the contract (let's say it's a character from a different magical school) have to work together to figure out how to use this magic to defeat a new dark threat. They start off not getting along because of the forced betrothal, but as they learn more about the magic and each other, they develop a real bond.
There's also 'A Marriage of Convenience: Harry and Daphne'. In this fic, the marriage contract forces Harry and Daphne to be together. It shows their initial reluctance turning into a slow - burning romance as they discover each other's true selves and face various challenges side by side.
Well, in some fanfiction, Ginny Weasley might be the one in the betrothal contract with Harry, which could add more drama to their relationship. Or perhaps a character from another wizarding family, like a pure - blood from a foreign magical community. For example, a French witch from Beauxbatons. This would introduce new cultural elements into the story as they navigate the betrothal contract.
There's also 'The Marriage Contract Dilemma'. This fanfic delves deep into the implications of a marriage contract in the Harry Potter universe. It shows how Harry and the other characters navigate through the complex situation, with some really cool magical elements involved.
One popular 'Harry Potter marriage contract fanfic' is 'The Contract'. It explores an arranged marriage situation between Harry and Hermione in a very interesting way. The story delves deep into how they initially resist but then gradually come to understand and even care for each other within the constraints of the contract. Another one could be 'Unexpected Contract'. It has a unique take on the idea, where the contract is a result of an old wizarding law that resurfaces. It shows how the characters adapt to this new situation in their already complex lives at Hogwarts.
The consequences of a betrothal contract for political gain in Harry Potter fanfiction are complex. Firstly, it could lead to a breakdown of relationships between different wizarding families that are not part of the contract. There may be envy or a sense of being left out. Secondly, for the young wizards or witches involved, it can be a very difficult situation. They may be forced to grow up quickly and take on political roles they are not ready for. And lastly, it can potentially lead to a new form of magical hierarchy, where families with successful betrothal contracts for political gain rise to the top, creating a more cut - throat and less inclusive wizarding society.
