One idea could be a head of house having to deal with a new and dangerous dark magic threat within their own house. Maybe the head of Gryffindor discovers that some students have been dabbling in a forbidden spellbook. Another could be a head of house trying to organize an inter - house tournament to boost morale and unity among the students, but facing opposition from other heads of house who think it's too risky. And a third idea might be a head of house uncovering a long - lost secret about their house's founder that changes the way they view their role and the traditions of the house.
Well, in a Harry Potter Head of House fanfiction, you could have a plot where the head of house has to choose a successor. The head of Gryffindor could set up a series of challenges for the potential successors that test not only their courage but also their wisdom and loyalty. Or, the head of Slytherin could be faced with a situation where a Muggle - born student shows great Slytherin qualities and they have to decide whether to accept and promote this student against the traditional pure - blood views of some in the house. And the head of Ravenclaw could be in a race against time to find a lost piece of knowledge that is crucial for the safety of the school, and they enlist the help of their brightest students to do so.
One idea could be that the Head Boy has to deal with a secret society within Hogwarts that is causing chaos. Maybe they are trying to bring back an old dark magic spell. Another could be that the Head Boy discovers a hidden room in Hogwarts that holds the key to an ancient mystery related to the founders of the school. He then has to protect this secret from those who might misuse it.
A plot could revolve around a house - elf who gets accidentally mixed up in a dark wizard's plan. Maybe the dark wizard forces the house - elf to steal important magical artifacts from Hogwarts. But the house - elf, having a good heart, tries to find a way to alert the teachers and students without getting caught. Or, there could be a story about a house - elf who befriends a non - magical creature like a Kneazle and they go on an adventure together, exploring the Forbidden Forest and uncovering secrets that are beneficial to the wizarding world.
One idea could be a story where a character from House Reyne discovers a long - lost magic spell that has the power to change the fate of Hogwarts. Another could be a plot where the members of House Reyne form an alliance with other houses to fight against a new dark threat in the wizarding world.
Maybe the fifth house is a house that was once lost in the history of Hogwarts. In the fanfiction, it could be rediscovered. The plot could involve the characters trying to understand the values and traditions of this ancient house. They might find that the house has a special connection to an old magic that is needed to save Hogwarts from a new threat.
One idea could be that the Head Goblin discovers a long - lost magical artifact hidden deep within the vaults of Gringotts. This artifact has the power to change the balance of magic in the wizarding world. Another could be that the Head Goblin forms an unlikely alliance with Harry Potter to protect Gringotts from a dark wizard who wants to steal all the gold and magical items stored there. Or perhaps the Head Goblin has a secret past related to Harry's family, and this connection unfolds throughout the fanfiction.
One idea could be that Harry grows up with a very different set of values. House elves are known for their loyalty and hard work. So, Harry might be more in tune with serving others selflessly. For example, he could be more eager to help his classmates with their problems without expecting anything in return.
Well, in some fanfictions, a house elf might gain the power to time - travel through some ancient magic. This could lead to them changing the course of events in the wizarding world, like preventing certain dark wizards from rising to power. Also, there could be a story where a house elf uses their magic to communicate with magical creatures that no one else can, and they team up with these creatures to save Hogwarts from a mysterious threat. And then there's the idea of a house elf's magic being misinterpreted as dark magic, and they have to prove their innocence.
A plot might involve Harry Potter as a house - elf being magically bound to serve Draco Malfoy. This would create a really tense situation as Harry has to resist Draco's cruel orders while still trying to figure out how to break the spell. He could also discover that there are secrets in Malfoy Manor that are related to the Dark Arts and the rise of Voldemort. As he tries to expose these secrets, he uses his wits and the skills he has as Harry Potter, even in his house - elf form, to outsmart the Death Eaters and the Malfoys.
A plot could be the Head of Gryffindor having to deal with a rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin that gets out of hand. They would need to find a way to calm the students down and promote unity among the houses.
Luna Lovegood could be an interesting head of Ravenclaw. She has such a unique and creative way of thinking. Her love for all things strange and wonderful would make her a very different kind of head. She would encourage students to explore ideas that are outside the box and not be afraid to be themselves. For example, she might introduce new classes on magical creatures that are not commonly studied, like the Crumple - Horned Snorkack.
