What kind of relationship can be developed between Harry and Daphne before Hogwarts in fanfiction?

Maybe they attend a pre - Hogwarts magic class together. Harry struggles a bit with some of the advanced spells being taught, and Daphne, though initially a bit aloof, decides to help him. This could start a relationship where they learn from each other, with Daphne learning about Harry's unique experiences outside the wizarding world and Harry getting a better understanding of the pure - blood society through Daphne.

Well, they might become friends. Maybe they discover they have a shared interest in magic even before getting to Hogwarts. For example, they could both be fascinated by magical creatures and exchange stories about the ones they've read about.

One possible plot could be that they meet in Diagon Alley. Maybe Harry is lost while shopping for his school supplies and Daphne helps him find his way. This could start a friendship where they exchange stories about their expectations for Hogwarts. It might also be a chance for Daphne to see Harry as more than just the famous Boy - Who - Lived, and for Harry to make a friend outside of the Weasleys and Hermione.

A magical creature could also be an important character. Imagine a friendly house - elf that they meet. The house - elf could be in some sort of trouble, and Harry and Daphne decide to help it. This adventure with the house - elf could shape their relationship and also introduce them to different aspects of the magical world.

The relationship could also develop through cultural exchange. Daphne, being from a pure - blood Slytherin family, has different values and traditions compared to Harry. As they get to know each other, they introduce their respective cultures to one another. This leads to a deeper understanding and a more profound emotional connection between them.

If they meet before Hogwarts, they might already have a sense of loyalty towards each other. So when they get to Hogwarts, they could look out for one another. For example, in a dangerous situation like a run - in with a rogue magical creature, they would be more likely to help each other compared to if they were just acquaintances. This pre - Hogwarts meeting could also mean they have inside jokes or shared memories that make their Hogwarts years more enjoyable.

They might develop a friendship. Harry could see Daphne's kindness beneath her Slytherin exterior at the Yule Ball, and Daphne could realize that Harry is not just the 'Chosen One' but also a normal boy with normal feelings. This new understanding could lead to a friendship where they support each other through the challenges at Hogwarts.

If they were friends before Hogwarts, it could create a lot of internal conflict at Hogwarts. Draco might be torn between his new Slytherin friends who dislike Harry and his long - standing friendship with Harry. He might try to keep their friendship a secret, which could lead to misunderstandings between them.

Another possible relationship is a family - like one. Given that Ginny is married to Harry, Gabrielle could be like a younger sister to them. They could protect her, support her in her magical studies and personal growth, and she could bring a fresh perspective and new energy into their lives. They could celebrate holidays together, share stories around the fireplace, and be there for each other in times of need.

One popular one might be 'A Different Beginning' which explores their relationship as they meet in a small wizarding village near their homes before Hogwarts. It shows how their initial encounters gradually turn into a budding romance.
