What are some interesting storylines in Harry Potter Dueling Tournament fanfiction?

Well, there are dueling scenarios where characters from different generations meet in a magical duel. For example, a character from Harry's time might accidentally travel back and duel with a student from the Marauders' era. This can lead to some really creative uses of magic as they try to outwit each other with different spells and strategies they've learned in their respective times.

A great plotline is when a new student at Hogwarts, who has a mysterious background, enters a dueling tournament. They start out underestimated but as the duels progress, they show extraordinary skills that seem to be related to an ancient magic. Also, in some fanfiction, there are duels that involve magical creatures. For example, a wizard might have to duel while also protecting a unicorn from dark wizards. This adds an extra layer of complexity and danger to the duel. Additionally, a plotline could be about a character who has lost their magic in a duel and has to find a way to regain it through a series of challenges and duels.

Then there's Max, a Muggle - born wizard who has to face a lot of prejudice in the tournament. His journey of proving himself against all odds makes him a beloved character in many fanfictions. He shows that determination and hard work can overcome the barriers of blood - status in the wizarding world.

In some fanfictions, the Dueling Club becomes a place for cross - house friendships to form. For example, a Gryffindor and a Slytherin might team up in the club, overcoming the house rivalries. They learn from each other's dueling styles and develop a unique bond that helps them in various challenges, not just in duels but also in dealing with the general Hogwarts politics.

One interesting plot could be a young wizard who is not well - known in the Hogwarts world suddenly discovers he has an extraordinary dueling talent. He then challenges the traditional dueling champions and changes the perception of dueling in the school. Another plot might involve a group of students creating their own unique dueling styles that combine different spells from various magical traditions.

In some fanfictions, there might be a plotline where the dueling champion discovers a long - lost spellbook that contains powerful dueling spells. But there's a catch - using these spells has unforeseen consequences. The champion then has to balance the power of these new spells with the potential risks while competing in the dueling championship.

One idea could be a new type of spell being introduced in the dueling circuit that throws everyone off balance. Maybe a spell that can temporarily freeze an opponent's wand. Another could be a character from an unexpected house rising to the top of the dueling circuit rankings, like a Hufflepuff who has some unique dueling techniques.

He could win the tournament and gain great fame. In many fanfics, Harry might show off some new spells he's learned, impressing everyone.

One idea could be to have a tournament where the participants are not just students from Hogwarts, but from all over the wizarding world. This could introduce new characters and magical abilities. Another could be a tournament with a twist, like the tasks are based on solving ancient wizarding mysteries instead of the typical challenges.

One idea could be that during the duel, Harry discovers a hidden spell that Snape was about to use against Voldemort. So instead of a full - on fight, they end up in a truce to discuss this new revelation. This could lead to a whole new understanding between them.
