Some fanfictions take a more creative approach. When they meet on the platform, there could be a magical interference that makes them see each other's memories or feelings. This would be a huge shock for both of them. Harry might see that Malfoy has his own fears and pressures, and Malfoy might understand Harry's sense of loneliness despite his popularity. This could completely change the dynamic between them, leading to a relationship full of mutual understanding and a new - found respect.
In some fanfictions, it starts with distrust. Harry sees Narcissa as part of the Malfoy family, which has been on the wrong side. But as the story progresses, they might find common ground, like protecting the wizarding world from a new threat. This makes them slowly build a reluctant partnership.
Their relationship might develop more deeply. They have both been through a lot during the war, and this shared experience could bring them closer. They would start to understand each other on a whole new level. For example, Harry might see Ginny's strength in a different way, and Ginny would see Harry's vulnerability more clearly. This new understanding would strengthen their bond.
In some fanfictions, they might have a bit of a rough start. Maybe Harry has some post - war trauma that makes it difficult for him to fully open up at first. But Ginny, being strong - willed, helps him through it and their relationship deepens as a result. They learn more about each other's dreams and fears outside of the Hogwarts environment. They could start to realize that they want to be more than just boyfriend and girlfriend, but true life partners in all aspects of the wizarding world.
It could develop into more of an open rivalry. Harry might become even more determined to oppose the Malfoys after the Diagon Alley meeting. Draco, on the other hand, may feel more humiliated and thus bear a greater grudge against Harry.
It can develop in many ways. Sometimes, it starts off rocky. Stiles' family may not understand the pack's ways. But as they get to know each other, they might start to respect the pack's loyalty to Stiles. For example, if the pack saves Stiles from a dangerous situation in front of his family, that could be a turning point.
In some fanfictions, it could develop due to a common enemy. Maybe there's a new dark force emerging in Hogwarts, and they both realize that they need to put aside their differences to face it. This shared goal makes them rely on each other more, and feelings start to grow as they see the other's courage and determination. Their relationship could grow from a begrudging alliance to a full - fledged romance as they discover new sides of each other.
It could be that in the manor, they discover they have more in common than they thought. Both are under a great deal of pressure - Draco to please his family and uphold the Malfoy name, and Hermione to fight against the Dark forces. As they interact more, they begin to understand each other's struggles, and this understanding leads to a deeper connection. Maybe they start to communicate without words, just by looks, as they plan their next move to survive or escape the manor.
When they meet again, the relationship could start off a bit rocky as Wendy has grown and Peter is still the same. But as they spend more time together, they start to understand each other better. Wendy might teach Peter some things about growing up in a way, and Peter could show Wendy the magic of Neverland all over again. Eventually, they could become closer friends or even something more, depending on the direction the fanfiction takes.
It could develop through mutual respect. Despite their differences, they see each other's skills. Damian respects Jason's tenacity and Jason sees Damian's talent. So, they start to work together more often.
Their relationship would likely develop very quickly. Naruto would be so excited to have his mother back that he'd be very affectionate. Kushina would probably be protective of Naruto right away. They'd start sharing stories about their lives, and Naruto would listen intently to Kushina's tales of his father and the Uzumaki clan.
