Another plot could be set during a time of potential danger to the Malfoy family. Maybe there are rumors of a threat from other wizarding families or a dark force. Lucius and Narcissa are then extremely protective of baby Draco and have to make difficult decisions to keep him safe, like whether to trust certain allies or not.
A more heart - warming plot could be about the simple family moments. Lucius and Narcissa might take Draco to a special place in their estate, like a hidden garden. There, they play with him, tell him stories about the Malfoy family's past glories, and just enjoy the time as a family. It could show a different, more tender side of the often - cold - seeming Malfoy family.
One idea could be a story that focuses on Draco's early childhood and how Lucius and Narcissa are trying to shape him into a proper pure - blood heir. For example, they might start teaching him about the importance of family heritage and magic lineage from a very young age.
They can be portrayed as a very traditional couple. Lucius as the dominant figure, making important family decisions, while Narcissa is more focused on taking care of Draco. But they both have a deep respect for each other's roles in the family.
Perhaps in an alternate universe where the pure - blood and Muggle - born tensions are resolved differently. Lucius, being a prominent pure - blood, and Hermione, a brilliant Muggle - born, are forced to marry for political reasons. At first, they dislike each other but as they get to know one another better, they fall in love and decide to start a family. The story could focus on how they navigate their different worlds while raising their baby.
A plot could be centered around Draco's struggle to live up to his father's expectations. Lucius has always been this powerful figure in the wizarding world, and Draco feels the pressure. But as Draco grows, he starts to develop his own ideas and values that conflict with his father's. This could lead to a series of arguments and a journey of self - discovery for both of them. Another interesting angle could be a story set during the holidays where they have to spend time together away from the usual Death Eater business and really get to know each other on a more personal level. Maybe they find out they have more in common than they thought or that their differences are more pronounced.
One idea could be exploring Lucius' overprotective side towards Draco. Maybe Draco wants to break free from his father's strict control and expectations. For example, Draco could be interested in Muggle studies, which Lucius strongly opposes.
One idea could be the baby having a special magical ability that Draco and Astoria have to figure out how to handle. For example, the baby might be able to communicate with magical creatures from a very young age. Another plot could revolve around the baby being in some sort of danger, like a dark wizard targeting the family because of Draco's past. Or perhaps the baby's first year at Hogwarts, with Draco and Astoria being overly protective and the comical situations that arise from that.
One idea could be that Draco and Hermione's baby has unique magical abilities that draw the attention of both the wizarding world's good and bad elements. The baby might be able to communicate with magical creatures in an extraordinary way, leading to adventures where they have to protect the baby from those who want to use its power for evil.
One idea could be that Harry and Draco find an abandoned magical baby and they have to work together to take care of it. This forces them to put aside their differences and learn about each other in a new way.
One idea could be that Draco is put under the Imperius Curse by Lucius to perform a dangerous task at Hogwarts, but Harry somehow senses something is wrong and tries to save Draco. Another could be a backstory where Lucius used the Imperius Curse on others during his time at Hogwarts, and Draco discovers this and has to deal with the moral implications. Maybe also a plot where Harry uses the knowledge of the Imperius Curse on Lucius to gain information about Voldemort's plans, and Draco gets caught in the middle of this power struggle.
One interesting plot twist could be that Lucius was initially betrothed to someone else. But when he met Narcissa, he fell so deeply in love that he had to fight against his family's wishes to be with her.
A possible plot is that their baby is born with a prophecy attached to it. The wizarding law dictates that any baby with a prophecy must be placed under special protection and observation. Draco and Hermione, being protective parents, try to find a way to ensure their baby's normal upbringing while still adhering to the law's requirements. This could lead to a lot of drama and character development as they face opposition from those who strictly enforce the law.
