It might be a rainy day at the zoo. Harry is taking shelter under a tree near the reptile house, and Hermione comes running up, her hair a bit damp. She's excited to see him and immediately starts talking about some new book she read on magical zoology. There are puddles on the ground, and the air is filled with the smell of wet earth and the sounds of animals in the background.
Harry Potter himself is often a central character. Writers like to put him in situations where he uses his magic in the zoo setting, like when he has to rescue a trapped magical creature that has somehow ended up in the zoo. His sense of justice and adventure makes him a great fit for these stories.
Maybe Harry uses magic to create a unique zoo. He could have magical creatures from the wizarding world, like hippogriffs and unicorns. The zoo would be a place for both wizards and muggles to learn about these amazing beings.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, the zoo becomes a secret sanctuary for magical creatures that are endangered in the wizarding world. The zookeepers are actually wizards in disguise, and Harry Potter and his friends discover this while on a school trip. They then have to help protect the sanctuary from dark wizards who want to use the magical creatures for evil purposes. This plot would combine the muggle and wizarding worlds in an exciting way.
Maybe Harry discovers a new type of snake with magical abilities. For example, it could be a snake that can turn invisible at will. This would be really cool as it could add a new dimension to the wizarding world's magical creatures.
Hermione could be a major character. She would be really helpful with all her knowledge, maybe helping Harry with the care of the magical creatures and coming up with ways to educate the visitors. Ron might also be there, perhaps handling the more physical tasks around the zoo like building enclosures for the larger creatures.
Obviously, Harry Potter himself. He's the main character and the one who can talk to snakes. Hermione might also show up. She's always curious about new things and would probably be interested in Harry's snake - talking adventure at the zoo. Ron could be there too, perhaps being a bit scared of the snakes at first but still supporting Harry.
One common theme could be the exploration of the dark side of magic. In these fanfictions, the torture scenes might be used to show the true evil of certain dark wizards or witches. For example, they could depict how Voldemort's followers might torture their enemies in creative and cruel ways. Another theme could be the strength and resilience of the characters. Through enduring torture, the characters show their unwavering spirit and determination to fight against the dark forces.
Picture this: Hermione and Ron are on the shores of the Black Lake. The sun is setting, casting a warm orange glow over the water. Ron has arranged for a small orchestra of house - elves (who he's befriended over the years) to play a soft, romantic tune. He takes Hermione's hand and leads her to a spot where he has spelled out 'Marry Me' in floating candles. He then pulls out a ring with a small ruby, Hermione's favorite gem. 'Hermione, you're the smartest, bravest woman I know. I can't imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?' Hermione, overcome with emotion, says yes.
