How can a character in Harry Potter pet dragon fanfiction train their dragon?

The fanfiction usually combines the magical world of Harry Potter with the dragon-training aspects of How to Train a Dragon. It could have unique character developments and unexpected plot twists.

You could start by creating a magical portal that connects the two worlds. Then, have characters from each story interact and face challenges together. Maybe a dragon helps Harry in a Quidditch match!

There probably is. Fanfiction is a vast realm of creativity. In a story where Harry has a pet dragon, it could be a dragon egg that he stumbles upon during one of his escapades. He might raise it secretly at Hogwarts, with the help of his friends like Ron and Hermione. This dragon could become a symbol of his growing power and independence outside of the traditional magic he has been taught, and would surely lead to some exciting and unexpected plot twists in the fanfiction.

He probably feeds it a diet of magical creatures. Dragons might like to eat things like hippogriff chicks or giant spiders.

You could give the half-dragon unique powers and struggles. Maybe it has trouble fitting in with either dragons or humans.

Well, start by imagining unique traits for your dragon. Maybe give it special powers or a distinct appearance. Think about its personality too!

They could use magic spells to calm the dragon first. For example, the 'Diffindo' spell might be used to cut ropes that are binding the dragon in an aggressive way, showing the dragon that they mean no harm. Then, they can start communicating with it using Parseltongue if they have that ability, like Harry does. Maybe the dragon has some knowledge about the puzzle and can give hints if it trusts the characters.

It could be that the dragon was an egg he found by accident. He, being curious and having a soft spot for magical creatures, took the egg and hatched it, thus becoming the owner of the dragon. In the wizarding world, there are often unclaimed or lost magical items and creatures, and Harry might have just stumbled upon this dragon egg.

In many fanfictions, Harry might use his powerful spells like the Stunning Spell or the Killing Curse if the story allows for such dark magic use. He could also use his intelligence to outwit the dragon, perhaps finding a weakness in its armor or behavior pattern and then using a well - timed spell to defeat it.

One common theme is friendship. Both universes have strong bonds between characters, and fanfics often explore those friendships in new and interesting ways.
