How do 'Harry Potter Boggart' fanfictions usually develop the concept of Boggarts?

Well, these fanfictions typically begin by setting the stage in the wizarding world. Maybe it's during a normal day at Hogwarts or a dangerous mission outside. Then, suddenly, the possession occurs. It could be due to a malevolent charm or an encounter with a cursed entity. Once possessed, the character's relationships start to get strained as they act differently. The plot then thickens as the other characters try to figure out what's going on. They might use spells like Legilimency to try and see into the possessed person's mind. The development often leads to a climax where they attempt to exorcise the possessing force, using powerful magic like the Patronus charm or a complex counter - curse. And in the end, there's usually a resolution that restores the character to their normal self and strengthens their relationships.

Well, usually the fanfictions develop their relationship through a series of events. For example, they might be forced to work together on a difficult task at Hogwarts. During this process, they begin to respect each other's skills and knowledge. As time goes on, they start to have feelings that are more than just respect. Some fanfictions also explore how their past traumas can bring them closer. Snape's past with Lily and Harry's with his parents' death can be a starting point for them to connect on a deeper emotional level. And often, the relationship develops in a way that challenges the norms of the wizarding world.

Well, a common way these fanfictions develop the plot is through the use of magic gone wrong. Maybe a spell was cast on Harry that made him see his parents in a different light. Then, as he tries to figure out what's going on, he starts to notice small things that don't add up about his parents' story. He might talk to other characters who also have doubts or knew his parents in a different way. As he continues to investigate, the web of lies and possible betrayal around his parents gets more and more complex, leading to a climax where he has to decide what to believe.

Well, in many cases, the plot develops around the character's struggle with the blocked powers. Say, Hermione might research in the library to find a way to reverse the block. Ron could be by Harry's side, providing moral support and helping in practical ways like sneaking around the restricted section of the library. As the story progresses, they might encounter other characters who have had similar experiences or who know something about the power - blocking magic, which then leads to more twists and turns in the plot.

Often, they start with an unexpected suitor or group of suitors showing interest in Harry. For example, it could be a new character introduced who has a unique reason for courting him. Then, the plot develops as Harry tries to understand this new attention. He might be confused at first, especially if it's from a creature or culture he's not familiar with.

Often, they start with animosity. Rose, being Hermione's daughter, might be suspicious of Scorpius due to his family's past. But as they interact more, like in study groups or on school projects, they begin to see each other's true selves.

The plot of 'Harry Potter Lost Child' fanfictions typically begins by introducing the situation of the lost child. Maybe they were kidnapped as a baby or lost in a magical accident. Then, as the story moves on, the focus shifts to their survival in a world they don't fully understand. They might meet some helpful characters who guide them on their journey. As they get closer to the wizarding world, especially Hogwarts, the plot thickens. There could be a conflict with a dark force that wants to either use or eliminate the lost child because of their potential power. The story then builds towards a climax where the lost child has to face their fears and either prove themselves or find their true family.

Boggarts in these fanfictions add depth by being a physical manifestation of the characters' hidden traumas. For example, if a character has been abused, their boggart might show the abuser. This makes the abuse more tangible and easier for readers to understand the character's fear. It also allows for more exploration of the character's past and how it affects their present actions.

Typically, they might start with an event that triggers this 'black madness' in Harry. For example, it could be a botched spell or a malevolent encounter. Then the plot would likely revolve around how Harry deals with this new, dark part of himself. Maybe he tries to hide it from his friends at first.

Often, they start with the time - travel event itself. Maybe a magical object or a spell goes wrong and sends the character back. Then, the character has to adapt to the founders' era. They might meet the founders and get involved in their daily lives, like helping them with building Hogwarts or dealing with the early threats to the wizarding world.
