Another plot could involve Hermione being the one with the prophecy about her. She would then be the center of Voldemort's attention. Her intelligence and resourcefulness would be put to the ultimate test as she has to face the Dark Lord, and it would also change the dynamic between her, Harry, and Ron as they support her in a different way.
One interesting plotline could be where Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. This would completely change his relationships within the school. He might have to deal with different prejudices and form alliances with students he would have otherwise been at odds with in the original story.
Draco Malfoy often becomes a popular character in these fanfictions. In altered destinies, he might be shown in a more sympathetic light. For example, if his family is not as deeply involved with the Dark side early on, he could form friendships with characters like Harry. His internal struggles between the expectations of his family and his own moral compass can be explored more deeply.
In some fanfictions, there could be a twist where the gods are not as all - powerful as they seem. Maybe they are being manipulated by a greater, unknown force. This would force Percy and his friends to re - evaluate their relationships with the gods and find new ways to deal with the threats to their world. It would also change Percy's destiny as he might have to take on a more independent role in saving the world without relying as much on the gods' help.
One interesting concept could be the idea of a different Sorting Hat system. Maybe it sorts students based on different qualities or has a new set of houses altogether. Another could be a world where magic has different rules, like spells having unforeseen side effects that change the whole plot. For example, a simple levitation spell might make an object disappear instead.
One interesting concept could be how a character's altered magical core changes their spellcasting abilities. For example, if a character's core is infused with a different type of magic, they might be able to perform spells in a unique way that others can't. Another concept could be the origin of the alteration. Was it a result of a dark curse, or perhaps an experiment gone wrong? It could also lead to new relationships and power dynamics within the wizarding world as characters with altered cores might be seen as either threats or valuable assets.
One interesting plot could be that Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. This would completely change his relationships and how others perceive him. His friendships might form with different characters, like Draco Malfoy becoming a more positive influence on him rather than an antagonist.
One possible interesting plotline could be the unexpected alliances that form between different species in the Star Trek universe within the context of 'tangled destinies'. Maybe a Klingon and a Vulcan have to work together due to some strange cosmic event that ties their destinies. Another could be the exploration of alternate timelines where the destinies of beloved characters are tangled in ways that change the course of the Star Trek story we know.
One interesting plotline could be about the Founders' initial meetings and how they decided to build Hogwarts. Maybe they had different ideas at first but then came to a consensus on the school's values and layout.
Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, the Phoenix plays a role in revealing hidden secrets about Harry's family. It could lead Harry to discover an ancient magic that was long forgotten by the wizarding world, which was somehow related to his family. This could then set him on a new quest, different from the one in the original books, and change the course of the story completely.
A common plotline is the characters' post - graduation plans. Some fanfictions might explore how Harry, Hermione, and Ron decide on their career paths. Maybe Harry is conflicted between becoming an Auror or a teacher at Hogwarts. Hermione could be considering further studies in ancient magic, and Ron might be thinking about joining his brothers in the joke shop business. This exploration of their future dreams and how they support each other during this transition period can be really engaging.
A possible plotline could be a time - travel fanfiction where Harry and his friends accidentally travel back in time to the era when the founders of Hogwarts were alive. They get to interact with the founders, learn about the early days of Hogwarts, and face challenges that come with changing the past or ensuring that history unfolds as it should. This would involve dealing with the different magical cultures and practices of that time, as well as the complex personalities of the founders.
