In a fanfic where Harry refuses to fight Voldemort, how does this change the story's plot?

One possible reason could be that Harry has grown tired of the cycle of violence. He might have seen how much destruction the fight has already caused and decides that there has to be another way. Maybe he believes that by refusing to fight, he can break the pattern and find a more peaceful solution to end Voldemort's reign of terror.

The story could take a darker turn if he refuses to go back to the Dursleys. Maybe without the protection of the blood magic at the Dursleys' place (even if they were cruel), he becomes more vulnerable to Voldemort's attacks earlier. Or, on the other hand, he could find a new form of protection that was not part of the original story, which could change the power dynamics in the fight against Voldemort.

His reaction would likely be very different. At first, he might be angry that he didn't know this before. But then, he could start to see opportunities. He may think that if he can somehow control Harry as a Horcrux, he can gain more power. So, he might change his strategy from simply trying to murder Harry to trying to subdue him in a different way.

Well, in such a fanfiction, Harry being Voldemort's snake might initially make their relationship more of a master - servant one. But as the story progresses, Harry could start to resist Voldemort's control, leading to a more adversarial relationship.

Well, if Voldemort is weak, the whole threat level in the story drops significantly. Harry and his friends might not have to go through such intense battles and trials. Instead of a long - drawn - out war, it could be more of a quick resolution where they easily overcome Voldemort. The focus of the plot might shift from the fight against Voldemort to other aspects like exploring the wizarding world more, or dealing with other smaller threats that were overshadowed by Voldemort in the original series.

He becomes more conflicted. Knowing he's Voldemort's son, he's constantly in turmoil about his true nature. His confidence might waver as he wonders if he's capable of the same evil as his father.

This twist would likely change everything. Harry's entire moral compass could be shaken. The way he views magic and the wizarding world would likely be warped. And it would definitely cause chaos among his friends and allies.

Well, it might make him more cynical at first. After all, he has just absorbed the essence of the most evil wizard. But then he could use this newfound darkness within him to better understand the bad in the wizarding world and fight it more effectively.

In a fanfic with Hermione as Voldemort's spy, it's a very interesting concept. First of all, Hermione is known for her intelligence and loyalty in the original series. But if she's a spy, her intelligence could be used against the good guys. She could be using her knowledge of spells and magic to deceive her friends. The plot could involve her gradually realizing the error of her ways and trying to turn against Voldemort. Or perhaps she's so deep in the spy role that she becomes a real antagonist, causing chaos and destruction among the characters we love.

Well, if Hermione was Voldemort's daughter, it would completely turn the story upside down. For one thing, her friendship with Harry and Ron would be in jeopardy. Harry would be very suspicious of her, considering he's Voldemort's archenemy. Also, the Hogwarts faculty might treat her differently. Dumbledore, who was always vigilant against Voldemort, would keep a very close eye on her. This could lead to Hermione feeling isolated and having to really prove her loyalty to the side of good.
