Typically, these fanfictions show Draco and Harry's relationship as a journey. They begin with their differences, but the act of adoption brings them closer. They might argue at first about how to raise the child, but gradually they find common ground. Their relationship is also portrayed as one of growth. Draco may become more open - minded and less prejudiced, while Harry becomes more patient. And through it all, their love for the child and each other is what holds them together.
Writers often start with an initial encounter that's filled with tension. Maybe Draco makes a snide comment to the sister because she's related to Harry, and she fires back. But then, over time, they might find themselves in a situation where they have to work together, like on a school project. This forced proximity makes them see each other in a new light. They start to notice little things about each other, like Draco's hidden love for art and the sister's talent for Herbology.
In these fanfictions, at first, Draco and Harry are often at odds. However, circumstances might bring them closer. Maybe they are both wrongly accused of something and have to work together to clear their names. As they spend time together, they begin to break down the barriers between them. Draco might start to admire Harry's bravery and Harry might see the vulnerability beneath Draco's tough exterior. This gradual change in perception is what usually paves the way for a deeper relationship.
The relationship between Harry and Draco in this fanfiction would be greatly affected. Since Harry has a connection to Draco's mom, Harry could become more empathetic towards Draco. He may realize that Draco is not just the bully he once thought. Draco might struggle with the idea that Harry has this special connection to his mom. However, as the story unfolds, they could learn to communicate better. Harry could share insights about Draco's mom that Draco never knew, and this could bridge the gap between them, leading to a less hostile and more nuanced relationship.
Their relationship would likely become more collaborative. They would have to communicate regularly about Teddy's needs, like his schoolwork, his magical training, and his emotional well - being. This would force them to put aside their past grudges and start seeing each other in a new light.
At first, it's likely to be full of hostility. Draco would probably enjoy lording over Harry as his slave, and Harry would resent it. But as the story progresses, they might start to understand each other better. For instance, Draco could see Harry's strength and determination even in his slave position.
In some fanfictions, the plotline could be that Draco and Harry adopt a child who is in danger from a dark wizard. They then have to go on the run, protecting the child and each other. It's a story of adventure and family. Also, there could be a story where they adopt a child who has a connection to an ancient magic, and they must figure out how to help the child control it while also dealing with their own relationship. Or perhaps they adopt a child who is a werewolf cub, and they face the stigma within the wizarding community while trying to raise the child with love.
Typically, Hermione is depicted as a catalyst for change in Draco's life. She is intelligent as always, but in these fanfictions, her intelligence is sometimes used to outwit Draco in their initial interactions. However, as the story progresses, she becomes more open - minded towards him. Her loyalty to her friends still remains a core part of her character, but she starts to question whether Draco could be an exception to the rule of 'Slytherins are bad'. She may be portrayed as having a more complex emotional side, especially when it comes to her growing relationship with Draco.
Some fanfictions portray Harry as mean to Draco because it adds a new dimension to their relationship. It breaks away from the typical hero - villain dynamic and shows that even the 'good' character can have flaws. It also allows for more complex character development. For example, Harry might be mean due to jealousy over Draco's family wealth or status at Hogwarts.
Well, their relationship is complex. In the beginning, Draco may try to bully Harry as he used to in Hogwarts. But as Harry shows his true self and they spend more time together, Draco realizes that Harry is not the enemy he thought. They might start sharing secrets, and their relationship could evolve into a sort of brotherly bond, where they protect each other from outside forces and also from the expectations of their respective 'sides' in the wizarding world.
Well, it would likely make their relationship much more complex. Instead of the typical rivalry, there could be a sense of family obligation. Draco might feel protective of 'her' in a different way than he would a male Harry. He might be torn between his family's views and this new connection to Harry.
