It could be an older wizard who has turned his back on the traditional ways that the group in the fanfic adheres to. Maybe he has discovered a new form of magic that is considered taboo by the others, and so they see him as an outsider, not one of them. He might also be trying to bring about changes in the wizarding world that the group is not ready to accept, such as more integration with non - magical people in the fanfic's story.
It could mean that in a Harry Potter fanfic, there's a character who is not considered part of a particular group within the fanfic's story. Maybe he has different values or goals compared to the rest of the characters who are united by something specific in the fan - created story.
It could be Harry Potter himself. He's always been one to help others, especially those in need. He might see a new student being harassed by Slytherins and step in, saying 'one of us will help you'.
Well, without reading it, it's hard to say exactly. But generally, in a Harry Potter fanfic, it might be about a situation where one of the characters from the wizarding world offers to help someone. It could be a Hogwarts student, a teacher, or even a magical creature. Maybe it's related to a dangerous quest, like facing Voldemort or his Death Eaters, or perhaps it's about something more mundane in the wizarding world, like passing an exam at Hogwarts.
Well, there was a time when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were exploring the Forbidden Forest. They stumbled upon a centaur named Firenze. Firenze was different from the other centaurs as he was more open to the wizarding world. He told Harry about the prophecy that was related to him and Voldemort. It was a spooky moment in the forest, with the trees looming large and strange noises all around. But Firenze's words were like a guiding light for Harry, making him more determined to face his fate.
He may be confused at first. Fanfics can be very different from his real experiences. He might wonder why people write such things about him and his world.
In Harry's second year at Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets was opened. People were being petrified all over the school. Harry, along with Ron, suspected Draco Malfoy at first. But as they investigated further, they discovered that it was actually Tom Riddle (Voldemort in his younger form) who was behind it all. Harry had to face the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets. With the help of Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, and the Sorting Hat which gave him the sword of Gryffindor, Harry defeated the basilisk and saved Ginny Weasley who had been lured into the Chamber.
The plot could develop with Harry secretly studying dark magic texts in the restricted section of the library. He might start to have strange dreams or experiences related to the dark magic he's exploring, and he has to be very careful not to get caught by Filch or the teachers.
In some Harry Potter fanfics, Rhaegar might be portrayed as a mysterious figure from another realm or time. He could be a mentor - like character, using his wisdom from his own story's context to guide Harry or other characters. For example, he might share his knowledge of magic that is different from what is commonly known in the Harry Potter universe.
Some platforms where you post your Harry Potter fanfic might have a version history. Look for that and you can select an earlier version to revert to. Another option is if you have a backup copy saved on your device. You can simply replace the current version with the backup.
