He could start to explore the secrets of his parents' past more deeply. Since he's feeling so down, he might look for some kind of comfort or understanding in their history. This could lead him to discover new things about his family that give him strength.
In this fanfiction, Harry might be dealing with the aftermath of the Triwizard Tournament. He could be depressed due to the loss of Cedric, the return of Voldemort, and the general disbelief from the wizarding world. Maybe he isolates himself at the Dursleys' during the summer, constantly reliving the traumatic events in his mind.
There might be a fanfiction where in their fourth year, Harry and Hermione go on a secret adventure related to the Dark Arts that they suspect is connected to Voldemort's return. Along the way, they face many challenges and have to rely on each other's strengths. Hermione's knowledge of spells and Harry's courage are put to the test, and this experience brings them closer together as friends and perhaps something more.
One possible betrayal in Harry Potter's fourth year could be when some students believed the false rumors about Harry being a cheater in the Triwizard Tournament. In fanfiction, this could be explored further. For example, Hermione might initially doubt Harry due to the overwhelming rumors, creating a sense of betrayal for Harry. However, as the story progresses, she realizes the truth and they reconcile.
A really engaging one is 'Year Four Revelations'. In this fanfic, the author explores the relationships between the characters during Harry's fourth year. It shows a different side of how the students interact and deal with the events of that year. There are some great character - building moments and it's very immersive.
Romance is also a common theme. Harry's growing feelings for Cho Chang, and other potential romantic relationships among the characters are often explored in fourth year fanfiction. It adds an extra layer of complexity to the story as the characters are also dealing with the high - stakes events of the Triwizard Tournament.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different interpretations of a 'Harry Potter fourth year retribution' fanfiction. It might be about seeking revenge or justice for something that happened in Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts in the fanfic author's vision.
One common theme is isolation. Harry often feels alone in his depression, even when he has friends around. For example, in many fanfictions, he may not share his true feelings with Ron and Hermione because he thinks they won't understand or he doesn't want to burden them.
Depressed Harry is a popular theme because it adds depth to his character. In the original books, Harry has been through so much trauma, and exploring his possible depression makes him more relatable. People can see how a hero can also struggle with mental health issues.
Definitely. In some 'Harry Potter is depressed' fanfictions, it shows how his fame and the expectations placed on him from a young age contributed to his depressive state. The fanfictions may take different routes in his recovery, such as through magic - a spell that could ease his mental pain, or through the power of friendship in a more profound and emotional way than in the original books.
