A book you can buy where you magically set the chapter titles after purchase so that you can gift it to someone and send veiled (or not so veiled?) messages to them. The text of the story itself doesn't change.

After the evidence lines up in a damning way, someone is accused of being a werewolf despite not being one. Cue hilarious interrogation threads and the eventual moment where the Ministry officials realize this person is not transforming during the full moon.

Ooh have yet another Percy Shelley inspired ~thing from the biography I read:
Before he set out [for Oxford], his father Timothy gave him some worldly advice in the study with its pictures of Christ crucified and Vesuvius erupting. Tom Medwin [Shelley's schoolfriend] happened to be present, and recorded: 'He would provide for as many natural children as Shelley chose to get, but that he would never forgive him for making a mésalliance.' Shelley, the romantic author of Zastrozzi, the demon-raiser and the Eton atheist, stared at his father with silent scorn.

Obvs Shelley immediately goes and elopes with an unsuitable girl, and this conversation is standard vibe for our era anyway... but it's the "presence of a random schoolfriend while they discuss this" bit that makes me want a whole plot where parents are struggling to deal with a wayward son/daughter, and therefore (secretly?) enlist their child's trusted but more sensible friend to officially Keep Them In Line and out of trouble. Maybe this friend is less wealthy and gets paid for the arrangement? Maybe they are coerced into it? Maybe they actually agree with the parents and will help cockblock said friend for their own good? Maybe they get caught in the middle and have to keep making up cover stories for their friend's shenanigans? IDK, it's funny any way you do it.

Cad needs this friend - that his dad is enlisting, or even paying someone to try and keep Cad in line.

A purist family just is terribly unlucky, and their only (surviving?) heir turns out to be a squib. To hide this, he is raised abroad and when he comes back, he pretends he is a wizard—carries a wand, knows all about herbology and potions and arithmancy or whatever, and even has an ~exotic magical pet! Sure, he can't apparate (bad luck once when drunk I'm missing a toe!) and he finds quidditch and dueling overdone, but he's totally a wizard.

Totally.

A couple had a pair of twin boys who were treated like a unit. They always dressed the same, had the same hairstyles, and were treated as a unit rather than individuals... except one was very clearly better-loved by their mother, and both twins are aware of it. So when the better-loved twin dies in an accident, the father makes an executive decision: the lesser-loved twin will take on the identity of his deceased brother, hoping it will console the mother, who through grief and wishful thinking is willing to accept that the other twin is the one has passed.

Two school frenemies or rivals find themselves pursuing brothers.

This could (and should for Lols) involve the girls trying to stir up rumours about each other, blackening the name of the other to the family, trying to outdo each other and involve a lot of resentment about the reason their relationship became so damaged.

Perks if both of them get married still absolutely hating each other and having to try and stay United and save face and secretly contunying to try and out do the other

Inspired by Bobby Dunbar

A Pureblooded kid goes missing and is "found" months later... But it's a different kid.

Possible complications:
The missing kid is thought to be (either is or isn't doesn't matter) a squib and intentionally lost and the found kid is a muggle born with proven magical talent taken from his home and "adopted" into a better life.

Another bonus either - the missing kid turns up, is swapped, actually has magic, or the original mother goes looking for her son and knows about magic (maybe she's a witch living as a muggle) and has to try and prove they've taken her son.

Once upon a time a man divorces his wife and abandons his young son who for whatever reason he doesn't see fit to take with him. Years later he marries a young woman who has no idea he has a child. They have a number of children and life seems great... until years later, when he suddenly dies. The will is read, but rather than his 2nd wife's children receiving the bulk of the inheritance, they're shocked to find that there is another, completely legitimate son who will inherit. Chaos ensues.

//if anyone's interested lmk, I am also into this plot

A person receives a prophecy about the destinies of their grandchildren, with things like "one will succeed where the other fails" and "one will achieve fame" which leaves the eventual grandchildren to bitter rivalries as they compete for the "best" destiny from the list.

So many seer plots I KNOW but consider:
A seer in her first Season has a vision identifying the man she's destined to marry. It's all nice and wonderful, except for the fact that her vision also makes it clear that any attempts she makes to force the matter will result in disaster. Cue panic, pining, and comedic attempts to catch his eye.

A handful of characters get trapped as dolls in a child's dollhouse and are stuck playing out those roles any time the child is present - while the child is away, they must scheme how to escape their predicament.

Alternatively: they're trapped as characters in a storybook and they have to act out the story any time someone reads the book, and can scheme while it's shut.
