Well, it could start with Harry finding an injured dragon. Out of compassion, he decides to take care of it. He might use his magic skills and knowledge from Hogwarts to nurse it back to health. As the dragon grows, he has to find ways to keep it under control. He could face problems like the dragon's growing appetite and its natural instinct to be wild. Maybe he even has to enlist the help of his friends, like Ron and Hermione, to keep his dragon - raising a secret from the school authorities.
Ron and Hermione would surely be there. Ron might be a bit hesitant at first about Harry raising a dragon, but he would come around to help. Hermione would use her vast knowledge of magic and creatures to assist Harry in taking care of the dragon.
One possible plotline could be Harry secretly raising the dragon in the Forbidden Forest. He might have to find ways to feed it without being caught. Another could be that the dragon helps Harry in a battle against Voldemort's forces, using its firepower and strength.
The dragon, of course, is a major character. It could be named something unique like 'Fyrstorm'. There might also be Hermione and Ron. Hermione would probably be worried about the legality and danger of raising a dragon, while Ron might be both scared and a bit excited about it.
The fanfic could start with Harry accidentally stumbling upon a chimera egg. He takes it upon himself to hatch and raise the chimera. He might face many challenges, like when the chimera starts to grow and becomes difficult to control. He could seek help from Hagrid, who has experience with magical creatures. Together, they could train the chimera. And as the chimera grows, it could become a powerful ally for Harry in his fight against Voldemort. It might even have some special powers that can help in battles, like breathing fire to fend off Death Eaters.
In Harry Potter fanfic, some popular dragon names are Norbert (or Norberta after it was revealed to be female). Another one could be the Hungarian Horntail, which is a very well - known dragon in the original series and often features in fanfictions with its own name being used.
In this fanfic, Harry Potter could be raising the first - years in a way that involves preparing them for the wizarding world outside of Hogwarts. He might introduce them to different magical creatures, not just the ones they study in class. He could also be mentoring them in how to deal with the politics and rivalries within the wizarding community. This would include teaching them how to handle encounters with Slytherins who may not always be friendly, and how to build bridges across house divides, just as he did during his time at Hogwarts.
In this fanfic, Harry's character would be a blend of vulnerability and strength. On one hand, he's all alone, which makes him vulnerable. But on the other hand, he has to be strong to survive. This duality could lead to some interesting character arcs. For example, he might struggle with trust issues, especially when he finally meets other wizards. He would have to learn to balance his self - taught independence with the need to rely on others at times. And his experiences of raising himself could also make him more empathetic towards other orphans or those who have been marginalized in the wizarding world.
Well, it could be really interesting. Petunia has always been resentful of magic in the original story. But if she raises Harry alone, she might gradually come to understand the magic world. Maybe she'd start to see the good in Harry's abilities and protect him not just out of obligation but out of a new - found love. For example, she could secretly learn about magic to help Harry with his school work or protect him from the dark forces that lurk in the wizarding world.
Yes, there might be. Fanfiction websites are filled with all sorts of creative and unique crossovers. You can try searching on popular fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net. Just type in 'Maleficent Raises Harry Potter' in their search bars, and if there are any stories with that concept, they should show up.
