Well, in some fanfictions, James Potter's first year could involve him getting into trouble for his pranks. He's known for being a bit of a troublemaker. So, he could be pulling all sorts of stunts on Slytherin students and getting points deducted for Gryffindor. But at the same time, he might also be showing great potential in Potions or Charms, much to the surprise of some of his professors.
He might make friends with Sirius Black right away. In fanfiction, they could start exploring the secret passages of Hogwarts early on. Maybe they'd have a run - in with Filch while trying to find the rumored hidden rooms.
Snape could be one of his enemies. In fanfiction, Snape might already be jealous of James' popularity and natural talent in magic. So, there could be a lot of tension between them, with Snape constantly trying to one - up James in classes.
One possible plot could be that James Albus and Lily Potter are facing a new mystery at Hogwarts. Maybe they discover a hidden chamber that no one has found before and inside it are secrets about their family's past at Hogwarts. They then have to figure out how to deal with these revelations while also keeping up with their studies and normal Hogwarts life.
In some fanfictions, Harry might have had premonitions about Hogwarts. For example, he could have had strange dreams of the castle or the Sorting Hat. These dreams could be a sign of his connection to the magical world even before he officially started at Hogwarts.
They could have adventures exploring different realms of heaven. Maybe there are places full of magical creatures they've never seen before. They might be on a quest to find a special kind of magic that can help Harry in some way, even from the afterlife.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, the plot focuses on Harry's relationships during his last year. He could be trying to mend some broken friendships or develop new ones. There might also be a romantic sub - plot where Harry finally figures out his true feelings for Ginny and they face some challenges together. Meanwhile, there could be a mystery surrounding an old Hogwarts secret that is uncovered during their last year, leading to an adventure that involves all the students.
Well, one possible plot could be that they face a lot of challenges. Their friends might be shocked at first. They'd have to deal with their studies while also preparing for a baby. And they might worry about how the Hogwarts faculty would react, whether they'd be allowed to stay in school.
One possible plot could be that James Potter has been brought back to life somehow and meets his son in a time - traveling scenario. His son might be initially shocked and then filled with a mix of emotions like joy, confusion, and a longing to get to know his father. They could bond over stories of James's time at Hogwarts, his adventures with his friends, and his fight against the Dark Arts. James could also offer his son some much - needed advice on dealing with the challenges in his own life, whether it's related to school, relationships, or the constant threat of the dark side in the wizarding world.
One common theme is the transformation of James. He starts as a bit of a bully but then changes to be a better person for Lily. Another theme is the friendship group. Their friends, like the Marauders, play important roles in their relationship. For example, Sirius might encourage James to pursue Lily or Remus gives advice on how to understand her better.
His Hogwarts experience would likely be very different. He might be more popular right from the start, given the fame of both James and Sirius. The teachers might also have different expectations of him. For example, McGonagall might be more lenient as she had a soft spot for James. And he could have a natural talent for Quidditch, inheriting James' skills. He might also be more involved in secretive activities, like Sirius was, and get into more trouble with Filch.
His Hogwarts experience would be very different. Firstly, he would likely enter Hogwarts with a much higher level of magical knowledge. James and Sirius could have taught him a great deal before he started school. So, he might be ahead in classes like Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Secondly, his social status would be different. Everyone would know he is the son of James Potter, a popular and talented wizard. This could lead to him being more of a center of attention, and he might have a different group of friends. Instead of Ron and Hermione at first, he could befriend students from more well - known wizarding families.
