One possible fanfiction could involve Nicholas Flamel using his alchemical knowledge to combat a plague that has spread in the wizarding world while Hermione assists him. Maybe she discovers ancient spells in the library that Flamel can incorporate into his potions to find a cure.
Yes, there could be. For example, the plot might revolve around the train being the only way to reach Flamel's hidden lair. The characters would then have to overcome various obstacles on the train to get there.
Yes, often there are unique plots. For example, the apprentice might get involved in secret alchemy experiments Flamel was famous for. They could discover new magical potions or spells, and have adventures in the wizarding world that are different from Harry's main story in the original books.
The idea of Flamel's influence on the wizarding world is also common. His knowledge and power are so great that fanfictions may show how he affected events in the past, present, or future of the wizarding world. For example, some fanfics might suggest that he had a hand in the founding of Hogwarts or in the development of certain spells.
Yes, there are. Some fanfics might show Flamel teaching Harry how to use alchemy in combat. For example, using transmutation to turn objects into weapons or shields instantaneously.
One interesting fanfic could be one where Flamel mentors Harry in the secrets of alchemy. Maybe in this fanfic, Flamel reveals ancient spells related to transmutation that were not known in the original books.
Another reason is that it allows for creative interpretations of the Harry Potter lore. Writers can take liberties with the relationship between Harry and Perenelle, creating stories that range from friendship to something more. They can also explore different time periods and how the two characters would fit into them. It gives fans a chance to see the familiar world of Harry Potter from a fresh perspective.
The plot could revolve around Harry's apprenticeship under Nicholas Flamel. Harry might be chosen because of his unique connection to Voldemort. Flamel could see that Harry has a special destiny and decides to train him in the ways of alchemy. This could include learning how to transmute substances, understand the properties of magical elements, and use alchemy for defense and offense. Harry could also learn about the history of magic through Flamel's eyes, which is much longer and deeper than what he has learned at Hogwarts. There could be a lot of adventures where Harry uses his newfound alchemical knowledge to fight against the forces of evil.
In the real Saint Nick story, the real Saint Nick was Saint Nicholas. He was a significant figure in early Christianity known for his acts of kindness and charity.
