The theme of changing the future is also prevalent. By traveling back in time, the characters aim to change certain events that will have a positive impact on the Black family's future. This could include changing how the family is perceived in the wizarding world, or even preventing the downfall of certain family members. In these stories, the time - traveling aspect is used as a tool to rewrite the family's story for the better.
One great 'Harry Potter Time Travel Black Family' fanfiction is 'The Black Heir's Time Travel Adventure'. It follows a Black family member traveling back in time and changing the family's fate in interesting ways.
One common theme is the exploration of alternate timelines. For example, Harry might go back in time and change something small, but it has huge ramifications for the wizarding world. Another theme is the mystery surrounding the Unspeakables and their time - travel research. Often, they are portrayed as having secrets that Harry has to uncover.
In 'Harry Potter Born a Black' fanfictions, a frequent theme is the re - evaluation of power dynamics. In the original series, power was often related to blood purity. But in these fanfictions, with Harry being black, it can lead to a new look at who holds power and how. Another theme is the adaptation to a different social environment. Harry would have to adapt to the different expectations and norms that might be placed on black wizards in the story's version of the wizarding world. This could also include his relationship with authority figures, like Dumbledore, and how they interact differently given his new identity.
The exploration of the dark side of magic is also common. Given the Black family's somewhat murky past, fanfictions may show how Orion's connection to the family's darker elements impacts Harry, either as a temptation or a source of strength to resist the dark side.
One common theme is the protection of the Potter family's name and legacy. Family lawyers often have to fight against those who try to slander or take advantage of the family. Another theme is inheritance disputes, as the Potter family has a lot of wealth and magical artifacts.
One common theme is redemption. Often, time travel gives Narcissa a chance to change her actions in the past, especially regarding her loyalty to Voldemort. Another theme is forbidden love. Since Harry and Narcissa are from different sides in the original story, time travel allows for a different exploration of their relationship that was not possible in the normal timeline.
The theme of second chances is also prevalent. In time travel stories, both Harry and Sirius may get opportunities they missed in the original timeline. For example, Sirius could save his friends who died earlier. And also, the exploration of the past and how it shapes the future is a key theme. They go back and learn things that change their perspective on the present and future of the wizarding world.
One common theme is family. Sirius is Harry's godfather, so many fanfictions explore the idea of family that goes beyond blood. Another theme is redemption. Sirius has a past full of mistakes and he often tries to redeem himself through his relationship with Harry. Also, protection is a big theme. Sirius is always trying to protect Harry from the threats in the wizarding world.
Another theme is self - discovery. When Harry goes back in time, he often has to re - evaluate who he is and his place in the wizarding world. For instance, he might see how his actions in the future have been influenced by events in the past that he didn't fully understand before. He may also discover new aspects of magic or relationships that were hidden from him in his original timeline.
A third common theme is the discovery of lost magic. Since they are in a different time, they might come across magic that has been forgotten in their own time. This could range from ancient spells to magical artifacts. It adds an element of mystery and adventure to the fanfictions as they try to understand and use this lost magic.
