One possible plotline could be Harry finding some ancient potions book in the library that has unique brewing methods. He then secretly practices them in an abandoned classroom.
His creativity would likely expand. Since he's teaching himself fanfiction, he would start to view his own world from different perspectives. This could make him more empathetic towards others in the wizarding world as he tries to understand different characters' motives and feelings through writing.
One interesting aspect could be how Harry Potter might use his own unique experiences in the wizarding world to shape the fanfiction he writes. For example, he could write about his adventures with Hermione and Ron in a more creative and detailed way, adding elements that were left out in the original books.
Another challenge is that without a proper teacher, he may not fully understand the nuances of magic. Magic in the Harry Potter world has a lot of rules and ethics. Harry might accidentally break some of these rules while trying to teach himself. Also, he may not be aware of the proper pronunciation or wand movements for some spells, which could lead to ineffective casting.
In this kind of fanfiction, Harry could have an in - born talent that allows him to figure things out by himself. He might observe other wizards and witches casting spells and then try to mimic them in private. He could also have some sort of magical intuition that guides him in his self - teaching journey. For example, when he sees a spell being used for a particular purpose, he instinctively knows how to modify it for his own needs.
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.
