A third storyline could be that Teddy gets into some sort of trouble at Hogwarts. Maybe he's being bullied because of his family situation. Harry and Draco then have to work together to deal with the school authorities and protect Teddy. Along the way, they learn more about Teddy's parents and how to better raise him in a way that honors their memories.
One possible storyline could be that Harry and Draco initially struggle to get along while trying to care for Teddy. They might have different parenting styles, with Harry being more lenient perhaps due to his own lack of a strict parental figure growing up, and Draco being more traditional in his approach. As they work through their differences, they start to bond not only with Teddy but also with each other. Teddy, on his part, could be having trouble adjusting to the new situation at first, missing his grandmother Andromeda. But as time passes, he grows to love his new dads.
Another storyline might involve the magical world's reaction to Harry and Draco adopting Teddy. There could be a lot of gossip and some people might be against it because of the past rivalry between Harry and Draco. However, their friends like Hermione and Ron (after some initial doubts) could come to support them. Teddy could also start to show some unique magical abilities that Harry and Draco have to figure out how to handle together.
Their relationship would likely become more collaborative. They would have to communicate regularly about Teddy's needs, like his schoolwork, his magical training, and his emotional well - being. This would force them to put aside their past grudges and start seeing each other in a new light.
In the fanfiction, perhaps the Ministry of Magic has some concerns about Hermione and Draco adopting Teddy. Since Teddy is the son of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, and with his werewolf heritage, they might have to go through a lot of red tape. Hermione, being the brilliant witch she is, would use her knowledge of the law to fight for their right to adopt Teddy. Draco, on the other hand, would use his family's influence and wealth in a more positive way this time. Teddy would start to see them as his real parents, and they would have to deal with the challenges of raising a magical child who has unique abilities and needs.
Their relationship would become more collaborative. They would have to work together to raise Teddy, which means sharing responsibilities, making decisions together, and supporting each other. For example, when Teddy has a problem at school, they would need to sit down and figure out the best way to handle it, instead of being at odds like they used to be.
Maybe at first Teddy is a bit shy and reserved, but as Harry and Ginny show him love and support, he begins to open up. They could also have some challenges like dealing with Teddy's occasional magical outbursts that come with his young age and powerful magic inheritance. Harry, having been through so much himself, can be a great mentor to Teddy in controlling his magic.
In this fanfiction, it could start with Harry and Severus having some relationship problems. Maybe they've been arguing a lot about different things, like Severus' past actions or Harry's hero complex. Meanwhile, Draco has changed his ways and is now more approachable. Harry starts to spend time with Draco, and gradually, feelings start to develop. This causes Harry to cross the line into what could be considered cheating on Severus. It's a complex situation that fanfiction writers might explore to add new drama and twists to the well - known 'Harry Potter' world.
Well, perhaps the plot could involve Harry and Draco putting aside their past differences to give Teddy a stable and loving home. They might struggle at first with co - parenting due to their long - standing rivalry. But as they get to know Teddy better and see how much he needs them, they start to work together more smoothly. Maybe they also have to protect Teddy from some dark forces that are after him because of his parents' history.
Another possible storyline is that they become friends after an accident. Maybe during a Quidditch match, there's a terrible accident and they have to rely on each other to survive. This shared experience makes them see each other in a new light and they start to build a friendship. They then help each other deal with their respective family issues. Draco can give Harry insights into the pure - blood families' ways, and Harry can show Draco a different way of looking at the world, not just through the pure - blood ideology.
One possible storyline could be about how they deal with the shock and fear at first. They might struggle to tell their families and friends, especially considering their different backgrounds. Draco from a Death Eater - associated family and Ginny from the Weasley family. Another could be them facing the challenges of school while being pregnant, like trying to hide it from their classmates and teachers.
In this fanfiction, the character dynamics would be full of growth. Harry, who has always seen Draco as a bit of a foe, would have to adjust his view. Draco, on the other hand, would have to learn to be more selfless, like Harry. Teddy's presence would force them to communicate more openly. They might argue about how to raise Teddy at times, but these arguments could also lead to a deeper understanding of each other's values. For instance, Draco might value discipline more while Harry might focus on freedom, and they'd have to find a middle ground for Teddy.
Maybe in some fanfictions, Draco is driven by a sense of self - preservation. He might believe that Harry will eventually turn against him or the Slytherin house. He could think that by killing Harry, he can secure his own place at Hogwarts and in the wizarding community. Additionally, it could be part of a larger plot by Voldemort or his followers. If Draco is forced to join Voldemort's side, he may be given the task of killing Harry to prove his loyalty.
