harry becomes headmaster fanfiction

Maybe it's a magical twist. There could be a prophecy that states Harry must take on the role early to save Hogwarts from a great threat. So, the wizarding world bends the rules for him.

A popular choice could be a character like Sirius Black. If he had survived, he could have become headmaster with his rebellious yet caring nature. He would bring a different kind of leadership to Hogwarts, one that is more in tune with the students' desires for change and adventure.

In my opinion, Dumbledore would still be a great headmaster in fanfiction. His wisdom and experience are invaluable. He always had a deep understanding of the students and was able to guide them through difficult times. He also had a great sense of humor and was very approachable despite his great power.

In such a fanfic, Harry might bring a lot of changes to Hogwarts. He could introduce new courses that focus on real - world magic applications, like how to use magic for environmental protection. Also, he would probably be very strict about the safety of students, especially after all his own dangerous experiences at school.

He might add a course on the history of the Dark Arts, not just the dark spells but also the people and events that led to their creation. This would give students a deeper understanding of what they're up against. For example, they could study the rise of Voldemort in more detail, including the social and political climate that allowed him to gain power.

He might add more practical magic courses. For example, he could introduce a course on advanced Patronus charm techniques. This would be useful for students to protect themselves in the real world. He may also include a unit on magical creatures' rights and how to interact with them ethically, as he has his own experiences with various magical creatures.

Another challenge would be handling the different houses. Each house has its own identity and sometimes rivalries can get out of hand. A new headmaster would need to find ways to promote unity among the houses, like through new inter - house competitions or joint projects.

Snape's relationship with Harry could become more complex. He might start to see Harry as more than just Lily's son. As headmaster, he has to ensure Harry's safety and development. This could lead to some awkward but necessary conversations between them. Snape may also use Harry as an example to show the other students what it means to be brave and stand up against evil, which in turn makes Harry see Snape in a different light.

The headmaster might have a huge impact on Harry's development in his fifth year. He could expose Harry to different magical cultures and theories that are not part of the regular Hogwarts curriculum. This would expand Harry's magical knowledge and way of thinking. Also, the headmaster could help Harry better control his emotions, which are often in turmoil during this year. By teaching him meditation or other mental control techniques, Harry would be better equipped to handle the stress and challenges.

Another possibility is that it could be Severus Snape in an alternate universe where he becomes headmaster of a different school. He was a complex character at Hogwarts, and seeing how his skills and personality would play out in a different educational setting would be very interesting. He might be more open - minded in a new environment or face different challenges that would test his loyalty and abilities.
