Dobby the house - elf could also be an unexpected ally for Draco. Even though Dobby is a house - elf, he might see Draco's situation and feel sympathetic.

In Hogwarts, his Slytherin friends like Blaise Zabini or Pansy Parkinson could be allies. They might try to cheer Draco up when he is feeling down because of the punishment.

For Draco, his mother Narcissa could potentially be an ally. She might not fully agree with Lucius's harsh punishment methods and could try to secretly comfort Draco or persuade Lucius to be less severe. For example, she could give Draco some treats or small comforts behind Lucius's back.

Harry Potter can be an interesting character to pair with them. It creates a lot of conflict and potential for character development. Given their opposing stances in the original story, it can lead to some really intense and thought - provoking scenarios in fanfiction.
