A lot can happen. In many fanfics, the couch is a safe space for them to begin to heal. After the battle, they're both likely traumatized in some way. On the couch, they can talk about their experiences during the fight, their near - death moments. This can lead to a new - found respect for each other. Sometimes, it can lead to romantic feelings developing as they see a different side of each other that they never noticed before. For instance, Harry might see Draco's vulnerability and Draco might see Harry's kindness in a new light while on that couch.
Well, often they start by being awkward. They've been enemies for so long. But then, they might start to patch things up. They could share a drink or just sit quietly side by side. The couch becomes a place where the walls between them start to come down. In one fanfic I read, they even held hands while sitting on the couch, which was a big step for their relationship.
I remember a fic where Harry and Draco end up on the couch post - battle. It was called 'Aftermath on the Couch'. The story delved into how their past rivalries still lingered but also how the shared experience of the battle made them realize they had more in common than they thought. It was really interesting to see how the author developed their relationship in that small, intimate setting of the couch.
One popular 'Harry Draco Couch Mates' fanfic is 'Unexpected Bond'. It shows a really interesting dynamic between Harry and Draco as they end up sharing a couch and all the awkward and heartwarming moments that follow. Another one could be 'Couch Conversations' which delves deep into their conversations while on the couch, exploring their past grudges and new - found understanding.
Fanfiction.net is also a good place to look. There are a lot of Harry Potter fanfics on that site. However, the quality can vary. But if you dig a bit, you might find some interesting 'Harry Draco Couch Mates' fanfics. You can also sort the search results by popularity or date to help you find the ones that might be more to your taste.
Another theme is new relationships. After the chaos of the battle, characters form new friendships or even romantic relationships. For instance, Neville and Luna might get closer in some fanfics.
Well, he might focus on rebuilding Hogwarts. He could use his influence to make it a more inclusive and safe place for all magical beings. For example, he could start new programs for students from different backgrounds.
One common theme is the exploration of power dynamics. When Draco bites Harry, it can represent a shift in power, either Draco asserting himself in a new way or Harry having to deal with a new vulnerability. Another theme is the idea of forbidden love. The biting could be seen as a very physical and somewhat violent act that still has an undercurrent of attraction between them. It's like they're breaking the rules of their normal relationship in Hogwarts.
There are also fanfictions where Sirius catches them and instead of being angry, he is curious. Like in 'Sirius' Curiosity', he decides to observe them secretly for a while to figure out what their relationship really is, rather than jumping to any hasty judgments.
Well, it could lead to all sorts of adventures and interactions. Maybe they form an unlikely friendship or have a rivalry from the start.
It could be a moment of redemption for Draco, showing a change in his character and maybe a newfound sense of responsibility.
One popular 'Draco protects Harry' fanfic is 'The Green Serpent' where Draco's hidden loyalties lead him to safeguard Harry in the face of dark forces at Hogwarts. Another could be 'Draco's Redemption' which shows Draco's transformation and his determination to keep Harry out of danger. There are also many on Archive of Our Own (AO3) under the 'Draco/Harry' relationship tag that explore this theme.
