There could be a fanfiction that focuses on what - if scenarios. Like what if James and Lily survived Voldemort's attack? It could detail their lives raising Harry and how they would have dealt with the aftermath of the Dark Lord's first fall. They might have to deal with the remaining Death Eaters and protect Harry from future threats.
One interesting fanfiction could be about James and Lily's time at Hogwarts before they got together. It might explore how their relationship developed from initial dislike to love. For example, a story could show James maturing from a prank - loving boy to someone worthy of Lily's love.
Well, an interesting idea could be that Lily discovers she has some new, pregnancy - related magical powers. Maybe she can communicate with the baby in the womb through magic. It would be a really unique and heart - warming concept, seeing her and James have little magical conversations with their unborn child.
One possible plotline could be that James and Lily return and have to deal with the changed wizarding world. They might be shocked at how much Voldemort's actions have affected society even after his defeat. Another could be that they return to help Harry face new threats that are emerging from the shadows of the old war.
One interesting story could be about Lily Potter's early life at Hogwarts before she met James. Maybe it shows her friendships and how she was developing her magic skills. Another could be a story where Harry Potter gets to time - travel and meet his mother Lily as a young witch. It could explore their relationship in a new way, like Harry learning from her directly about the Potter family secrets.
A plotline could be that the Potter family gets invited to a very exclusive and mysterious magical event. But there are rumors that dark forces are at work there. Harry and Ginny are hesitant, but James is excited, and Albus and Lily are curious. As they attend, they find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy that they have to solve together.
Well, it could lead to a very different story. Harry's childhood and upbringing would be completely changed, and the dynamics of the wizarding world might shift.
For me, 'Lily's Last Goodbye' is very emotional. It shows the moment when Lily realizes she has to sacrifice herself for Harry. The way it's written makes you feel all the love she has for her son and the pain of leaving James.
Then there's 'The Love of Lily and James'. This one is more of a romantic take on their story. It really focuses on the love they had for each other. It describes their dates, their secret conversations, and how they supported each other through difficult times. It gives a very warm and fuzzy feeling about their relationship.
One great fanfiction could be 'Lily and James: A Love Beyond'. It delves deep into their relationship before Harry was born. It shows how they met at Hogwarts, their initial dislike which gradually turned into love. The story also includes their adventures as members of the Order of the Phoenix and how they fought against the Dark forces side by side.
A really interesting plot could be that James and Lily, alive, work with Dumbledore to create a new school of magic. This school would focus on teaching students how to defend against the Dark Arts in a more practical and hands - on way. Harry would be one of the first students there. They could also develop new magical artifacts that could help in the fight against evil. And the family could have adventures all over the world to find the ingredients and knowledge needed for these new creations.
One interesting plot idea could be that Lily and James, alive and well, decide to train Harry in magic from a very young age. This would make Harry an even more powerful wizard earlier on. They could also use their influence to reform the wizarding world, starting with Hogwarts. For example, they might introduce new courses that focus on both light and dark magic, teaching students how to defend against the dark arts in a more comprehensive way.
