It could symbolize determination. James, like Dory from 'Finding Nemo' (where the phrase 'just keep swimming' is from), might be in a situation where he feels lost or out of his depth. But by 'just keep swimming', he shows that he won't give up easily, whether it's in his studies at Hogwarts, his Quidditch games, or his battles against the dark forces.
Perhaps in the fanfic, James is part of a team in a magical underwater race. 'Just keep swimming' becomes the team's slogan. As they face strong currents, magical sea creatures trying to stop them, and other obstacles, James and his teammates keep repeating 'just keep swimming' to keep their focus and move forward towards the finish line. It could also be a way to show James' leadership skills as he encourages his team with this mantra.
One common theme is exploration. Just like in the regular Harry Potter stories, characters often explore new areas while swimming, such as hidden underwater caves or magical pools. Another theme is friendship. When the characters swim together, it strengthens their bonds, like Harry, Ron, and Hermione sharing adventures in the water. Magic is also a key theme. There might be enchanted waters that give special powers or magical creatures they encounter while swimming.
Well, 'The Aquatic Adventures in the Wizarding World' is an interesting Harry Potter swimming fanfiction. It features the characters having to swim through enchanted waters to retrieve a powerful magical artifact. 'Harry Potter and the Mermaid's Pool' is also a cool one. Here, Harry and his friends encounter a mermaid's pool and have to interact with the mermaids. And don't forget about 'Ron's Fear of Swimming', which humorously tells the story of Ron trying to overcome his fear of water in the magical context of Hogwarts.
It could be a specific moment in a fanfic where a character is told to 'just breathe'. For example, if Hermione is under a lot of stress studying for her NEWTs and Ron tells her to 'just breathe' to calm down. Or it could be a theme throughout the fanfiction, where the idea of taking a breath and regaining composure is a recurring element in the story.
One possible fanfiction could be about Harry and Hermione taking a break from their wizarding duties and going for a swim in a magical pool. Maybe they discover some new spells while in the water.
Swimming can be a very intimate activity. They could have deep conversations while floating in the water. For instance, Harry could open up about his fears from the past while they are in the pool. Ginny could offer him comfort and understanding, which would bring them closer.
" Just Run Forward " was an inspirational book written by Cui Jianxiu. The story was about Bekira, who was born into a poor family in Somalia. He had longed to be a long-distance runner since he was young. However, due to his extremely poor family, he could not even afford the cheapest running shoes and could not participate in training. Despite the difficulties, Bekira did not give up. He continued to train hard. In the end, he met a coach who gave him hope and encouragement, and successfully realized his dream. Not only did Beqila appear on the field, but she also won the Olympic Games in a row and became a national hero of Namibia. This story conveyed that as long as a person did not lose the ambition to run forward, he could bravely overcome difficulties and obstacles and realize his dreams.
A fanfiction might have Harry teaching James how to swim in the Black Lake. Ginny watches from the shore, cheering them on. James is amazed by the strange creatures in the lake and his father's swimming skills.
Yes, there are quite a few. You can start by looking on popular fanfiction websites like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. Some might focus on their relationship development during a swimming event, like a friendly race or a swim class at Hogwarts.
