The unique ingredients can make it special. In fanfiction, authors might introduce ingredients from other magical cultures. For instance, something from the wizarding world of Asia that we haven't seen in the original books.
Well, in a different potions lesson in Harry Potter fanfiction, perhaps the ingredients could be different. Maybe instead of using asphodel in a potion, they use a fictional plant that has unique magical properties. It could lead to new and unexpected effects of the potions.
The grading system in this fanfiction's potions class could be different. Instead of the usual strict letter grades, it could be more focused on improvement and creativity. So, a student who comes up with an innovative way to make a potion, even if it doesn't turn out perfectly, could still get a high mark. Also, group projects could be a major part of the class, promoting teamwork among the students which was not always emphasized in the original potions class.
For Harry, a different potions class might make him more interested in the subject. Since he often had a tough time with Snape, a new teacher or teaching style could make him see potions in a new light. He might start to enjoy the process of making potions and even excel at it. Hermione, on the other hand, would probably adapt quickly to any changes. She might use the new opportunities in the class, like new potions to study, to expand her knowledge even further.
Snape could also be the one to teach Harry a lesson. Given their complex relationship in the original books, in fanfiction, Snape might see an opportunity to put Harry in his place. For instance, if Harry fails in a potions class because of his carelessness, Snape could use this as a chance to teach him about discipline and attention to detail.
Sure. There's a fanfiction where the main character is a potions genius who uses their skills to help Harry and his friends in unexpected ways. This character might be able to brew potions faster or create more powerful versions of existing potions. It adds an interesting twist to the familiar Harry Potter world and makes for an exciting read.
One way sexual tension shows up in such fanfiction is through the power dynamics in the potions setting. A powerful wizard or witch might use their knowledge of potions to gain an upper hand in a relationship, creating a push - pull dynamic. In a story where Snape is a central figure, his brooding presence and his expertise in potions could lead to a charged atmosphere when he interacts with a student or another character. This can be both intimidating and alluring, adding to the sexual tension.
In some fanfictions, Harry Potter might be portrayed as a potions prodigy due to hidden talents that were not fully explored in the original books. Maybe he has a natural affinity for the ingredients, or he has an intuitive understanding of the brewing process.
Hermione is often a common character. She might be helping Harry with research related to the potions professor's strange behavior or new potions they are working on. For example, she could be scouring the library for information about a rare ingredient the professor has introduced.
He might learn a lesson about the consequences of recklessness. For example, if he rushes into a dangerous situation without proper planning, he could face serious setbacks or endanger his friends. This would teach him to think before acting.
