Well, it could be that Severus, out of a sense of obligation or some hidden motive, decides to take Harry as a pet. Harry, initially resistant, gradually comes to understand Severus's intentions. The story might involve Severus teaching Harry things in a very different way than he would in the normal wizard - student relationship. For example, he could be teaching Harry about defensive magic through games or challenges that are more suitable for a pet - owner dynamic. And as time passes, their relationship could evolve into something more complex and unexpected.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Harry is actually a pet in a magical, alternate reality where Severus is a powerful wizard with a penchant for collecting unique magical creatures. Harry, in his pet form, might hold some sort of special power or significance that Severus is eager to uncover. This could lead to adventures as Severus tries to unlock the secrets within Harry while also keeping him safe from other dark wizards who might want to steal Harry for their own purposes.

Maybe there's a magical spell gone wrong that links their fates to the Panthers. So they have to work together to figure out how to break the spell.

Perhaps Harry takes Severus, in his pet form, on a journey through the Forbidden Forest to find a rare magical herb that could potentially break the spell. Along the way, they encounter various magical creatures and face many challenges together. Harry starts to understand Severus better through this shared adventure, even in his pet form. For example, Severus in his pet form might show his loyalty and protect Harry from a dangerous Acromantula.
Hermione would probably be one of the main characters to interact. She might be horrified at first to see Harry in such a situation and would try to find a way to free him. Ron could also be involved, perhaps being more impulsive in his attempts to rescue Harry, which might cause some problems. Dumbledore too would likely play a role. He might have some knowledge about the situation that he's not sharing right away, and his interactions with Severus would be crucial in determining Harry's fate.

They have to put aside their differences and work together as parents.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Draco and Severus leave Harry because they are forced to by some external dark force. This could lead to Harry having to face new challenges alone, while Draco and Severus struggle against this force in their own way. They could end up being spies or trying to find a way to defeat the dark power from afar.
In this fanfiction, Severus might adopt Harry to protect him from the dark forces that are still lurking around. He would use his knowledge of the dark arts and potions to keep Harry safe. He could also introduce Harry to a different side of the wizarding world, one that is more about academic study and self - discovery. For example, he may encourage Harry to study advanced potions at a very young age, which would give Harry an edge in his future magical education.
A possible plot could be that Voldemort has a change of heart (maybe due to some ancient magic or prophecy) and realizes he needs Harry and Severus. Harry, on the other hand, sees an opportunity to end the cycle of violence. Severus, with his knowledge of both dark and light magic, helps them understand each other. They could then embark on a journey to unite the wizarding world, facing challenges like the resistance from the Death Eaters who don't want Voldemort to change, and the mistrust from the Order of the Phoenix who are skeptical of Harry's new alliance. Along the way, they also discover new magical abilities within themselves and each other, which helps them in their quest.
The plot might start with Harry having strange dreams or feelings that lead him to realize his connection to Lucius and Severus. As they come together, they find that they have to hide their relationship from the Death Eaters (in Lucius' case) and Dumbledore's side (initially, as it's so unexpected). They could also be on a quest to find out the origin of this bond, which might be related to some ancient magic. During this journey, they learn about each other's pasts, like Severus' love for Harry's mother and Lucius' family history, and how it all ties into their present relationship.
