One common 'Hagrid takes' in Draco Malfoy fanfiction could be Hagrid showing unexpected kindness to Draco. For example, he might offer Draco some advice on handling magical creatures during a Care of Magical Creatures class, which changes Draco's perspective on Hagrid.
There could be fanfictions where Hagrid takes Draco on an adventure. Hagrid is known for his love of the outdoors and magical creatures. He might take Draco to see a rare magical creature that no one else has seen. This shared experience could lead to a newfound respect between them, as Draco gets to see a different side of the wizarding world through Hagrid's eyes.
In some fanfictions, Hagrid could take Draco under his wing in a way. Maybe Draco gets lost in the Forbidden Forest, and instead of being harsh, Hagrid helps him out and in the process, they start to understand each other better. Hagrid's big heart might make him see past Draco's usual snobbish behavior.
There are fanfictions where Hagrid's friendship with Draco develops over time. For instance, after Draco has a difficult time with his family's expectations, he might find solace in Hagrid's simple and honest way of living. Hagrid, in turn, might see Draco as a lost soul and offer his friendship. Their friendship could be a source of growth for both characters, as Draco learns to be more open - minded and Hagrid gets to break down some of his own prejudices about Slytherins.
One popular take is the 'enemies to lovers' trope. In many fanfictions, Hermione and Draco start off hating each other due to their different backgrounds and allegiances at Hogwarts. But as the story progresses, they begin to see each other in a new light. For example, they might be forced to work together on a project or face a common enemy. This leads to them realizing that they have more in common than they thought, and gradually, romantic feelings develop.
It could lead to a totally different story arc. Maybe he'd become an ally to Harry and help fight against the dark forces.
One popular Draco Malfoy hurt fanfiction is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf.' In this story, Draco gets seriously injured during a battle and has to deal with the physical and emotional pain. It really delves into his character and shows a more vulnerable side of him.
I really like 'Draco's Redemption'. This fanfic delves deep into Draco's inner turmoil after the war. It has him struggling to come to terms with his past actions and trying to find a new place in a world that has changed so much. It gives him a journey of self - discovery that is really engaging.
There's this fanfiction called 'Draco and the Muggle Girl'. It's a love story where Draco falls in love with a muggle girl. The author does a great job of exploring how their relationship develops against the backdrop of the magical and non - magical worlds.
There could be a fanfiction where Scorpius and Draco go on a magical adventure together. Maybe they discover an ancient magic that was lost for centuries and have to keep it a secret from the wizarding world. This would explore their relationship as father - son and their courage in the face of danger.
Another aspect is the source of his fear. It could be something magical, like a dark curse or an evil spirit that specifically targets him. Or it could be more emotional, like the fear of losing someone he cares about. When the author weaves these elements together well, creating a situation where Draco is truly scared, it makes for a great fanfiction. For instance, if there's a fanfic where Draco discovers a plot to harm his mother and he's powerless to stop it at first, his fear would be very believable and engaging for the reader.
Well, first of all, a good understanding of the original characters is crucial. The fanfiction should stay true to their personalities. For example, Draco's pride and Hermione's intelligence should be intact. Also, an interesting plot that forces them to interact in new ways. Like, a mystery they have to solve together or a situation where they are on the same side against a common enemy.
Character development is key in good short Draco Malfoy fanfiction. Even in a short piece, we should be able to see Draco change or at least have some self - reflection. The dialogue should also be in - character. Draco has a certain way of speaking, a bit haughty yet intelligent. And the setting should be well - described, whether it's Hogwarts or some other wizarding location relevant to the story.
