Draco can seek support from his true friends. In the fanfiction world, if he has friends who truly care about him, they can offer him a place to stay, emotional support, and help him face the abuser. For example, Hermione, despite their past differences, could potentially be a great source of support with her intelligence and strong will.
He could start by reaching out to a trusted friend. That friend might be able to provide a safe place for him to stay and support him through the process.
In fanfiction, Eric could start by reaching out to a close friend or family member he trusts. They can provide support and a safe place for him. He might also consider documenting any incidents of abuse, like taking pictures of bruises or writing down what was said. Another option is to contact local support services, if the fanfiction world has such things. This way, he has a network of help to rely on to break free from the abusive relationship.
One common theme is the power imbalance. In many of these fanfictions, the abuser might hold a position of power over Draco, like being in a higher social rank in the wizarding world. This power is often misused to control and manipulate him.
A common theme in fanfiction about them is redemption. Draco, who has a rather dark past in the original series, can find redemption through his relationship with Luna. Luna's purity and acceptance of all things strange make her the perfect person to help Draco turn over a new leaf. Their love can be a symbol of hope and new beginnings within the fanfiction universe.
They could start by having an honest conversation. Lucius needs to admit his wrongdoings and Draco needs to express his pain. It's a first step towards redemption.
Often, in these fanfictions, their relationship is full of challenges. Their different backgrounds - Hermione being a Muggle - born and Draco from a pure - blood family - cause friction. However, their love overcomes these obstacles. Hermione might help Draco to better understand the value of equality in the wizarding world, and in turn, Draco can introduce Hermione to some of the more traditional aspects of wizarding society in a new light.
To portray their relationship realistically, it should start with a lot of mistrust from Draco's side. He's been brought up to think Muggles are inferior. So, when he first meets the Muggle in the fanfiction, he might be disdainful. But the Muggle, being a fan of the wizarding world, shows genuine interest and kindness. This could gradually break down Draco's walls. Their relationship would be a slow - burn, with many bumps along the way as Draco struggles with his ingrained beliefs.
At first, Harry and Draco would be at odds in prison. Harry, with his sense of justice, would be disgusted by Draco's past actions. Draco, on the other hand, would be resentful of Harry's 'holier - than - thou' attitude. But as they are forced to live in close quarters and face common threats, they might begin to communicate. They could share their fears and hopes. Slowly, this could lead to a grudging respect for each other. Maybe Draco would open up about his family's pressures, and Harry would understand his situation better. This could transform their relationship from enmity to a more amicable one.
At first, they might be shocked and a bit confused about being twins. But as time goes on, they start to trust each other more. They could share their secrets and fears, like Harry might tell Draco about his nightmares of Voldemort, and Draco might open up about the pressure from his family.
It often changes for the better. After Harry apologizes, Draco might be initially skeptical. But as they start to interact more, they could become friends or at least develop a mutual respect. For instance, they might start sharing their experiences during the war, which helps them understand each other better.
