Perhaps the fanfic could explore the idea of Cerberus being a familiar that helps Harry in his fight against Voldemort. Cerberus could guard important places for Harry, or even accompany him into battle. Its three heads could provide different forms of defense or attack, making it a very formidable ally for Harry in the wizarding war.
The plot could start with Harry stumbling upon Cerberus in a hidden part of Hogwarts. He feels an instant connection and decides to try and make Cerberus his familiar. This would be a difficult task as Cerberus is known to be very fierce. But Harry's kindness and his ability to understand magical creatures might win Cerberus over.
One common theme is the idea of an outsider or different type of magic. Since a Cerberus as a familiar is not a common concept in the original Harry Potter series, it often represents Harry or another character being different. For example, they might be shunned by some for having such an unusual familiar.
There's also a fanfic called 'Cerberus by His Side'. In this story, the Cerberus becomes Harry's protector in a more dangerous version of the wizarding world. It's really interesting to see how the author weaves in the lore of Cerberus from Greek mythology into the Harry Potter universe. The Cerberus is depicted as a fierce yet loyal companion to Harry.
Cerberus in fanfiction is usually depicted as a creature that is both terrifying and somewhat misunderstood. Its three heads might have different personalities. One could be more aggressive, while another might be a bit more curious. It's also often portrayed as being extremely loyal to its master or to the task it has been given, like guarding the Philosopher's Stone.
One idea could be that in a hidden corner of Hogwarts, a student discovers a baby dinosaur as their familiar. Maybe it was brought through a magical portal from a prehistoric era. The student then has to keep it a secret while trying to figure out how to take care of it.
Well, Cerberus in fanfiction can be depicted in various ways. Some might focus on its more animalistic nature, showing it being wild and untamed. It could be a symbol of danger and mystery in the wizarding world created by the fanfic authors. For example, a fanfic might have a character try to tame Cerberus in a way that wasn't shown in the original books, adding an exciting new plotline.
There could be. Fanfiction often takes the existing elements of a story and twists them in new ways. Given that Cerberus is a well - known mythological creature and the Harry Potter series already has a connection to it (like the three - headed dog Fluffy), it's not far - fetched to think that a fanfic writer would create a story where Harry has a pet Cerberus. However, it might be a bit of a wild concept considering how dangerous Cerberus is in the original mythology.
Yes, in many fanfics about Harry Potter, Severus Snape is often given a familiar. It could be used to add more depth to his character. For example, if his familiar was a black cat, it could symbolize his mysterious and somewhat dark nature. Fanfic authors often use familiars as a way to explore the relationships between characters and the magical world around them. So it's not uncommon to see Severus with a familiar in these creative works.
In most of the official 'Harry Potter' lore, Harry is not Snape's familiar. However, in fanfic, the rules can be bent and rewritten. So it's possible in some very creative and non - canon fanfictions for this strange relationship to exist, but it goes against the general nature of their relationship in the original books.
