In some fanfics, a plot twist could be that Narcissa was actually a spy for Dumbledore all along, and she was the one feeding him information about the Death Eaters. This completely changes the dynamics between her and Harry as they are on the same side without Harry even knowing.
One idea could be that Harry discovers Narcissa has a secret mission to undermine Voldemort from within. Maybe she's been secretly helping the Order of the Phoenix all along and Harry stumbles upon this knowledge.
One interesting fanfiction could be about Narcissa secretly helping Harry during the final battle. In some fanfictions, she might have a change of heart due to her son Draco's complex relationship with Harry. Another could focus on a time - travel scenario where Harry and Narcissa meet in a different era and have to work together for some common good. There are also fanfictions that explore their relationship in the context of the wizarding politics and how they might influence each other's actions.
In some versions of such fanfiction, it could explore how the wizarding society reacts to Narcissa Malfoy being in this position. Some might be appalled, some might see it as a chance for redemption for the Malfoy family. And all the while, Harry Potter is caught in the middle, trying to balance justice and mercy, which makes for a very engaging story.
One possible plot could be that Harry grows up with a different perspective on the wizarding world. Narcissa might shield him from the more extreme pure - blood ideologies in her own family. He could still have his natural talent for magic but be trained in a more Slytherin - like way, focusing on cunning and self - preservation. And he might have a different relationship with Draco, perhaps more of a brotherly bond.
One interesting plot twist could be that Narcissa uses her influence in the wizarding world to protect Harry from the dark forces in a way the Dursleys never did. Maybe she secretly trains him in dark arts defenses that are not part of the Hogwarts curriculum, which gives him an edge later on. Another could be that Harry's presence in the Malfoy household causes a rift between Narcissa and Lucius, as Lucius is still loyal to Voldemort at first and doesn't trust Harry. This could lead to some tense family drama within the Malfoy manor.
One interesting plot twist could be that Harry, now reborn as a Malfoy, uses his knowledge of the future to prevent certain dark events in the wizarding world that the original Malfoys were involved in. He might try to change the family's loyalty from Voldemort to the side of good.
One possible plot could be a story where the wizarding world is in a state of great upheaval after the war. Harry, in his quest to bring about true peace and unity, finds himself working closely with Narcissa. Over time, they develop a deep understanding and respect for each other. Narcissa, having lost so much in the war, is drawn to Harry's sense of justice and kindness. Harry, on the other hand, sees Narcissa as more than just a Death Eater's wife. Their relationship blossoms in secrecy at first, as they both know it will be a shock to the wizarding community. Eventually, they decide to marry, much to the dismay and confusion of many, but also as a symbol of a new beginning that transcends old grudges.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Draco Malfoy turns out to be a double agent. He pretends to be on the side of the Death Eaters like his family, but in reality, he is secretly helping Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Snape discovers this and has to decide whether to expose Draco or use his secret to their advantage. This would create a lot of tension and unexpected alliances.
One popular type might be those that focus on their relationship within the complex wizarding world. For example, some fanfictions could explore how Narcissa's loyalty to her family and the Dark Lord might interact with Harry's role as the 'Chosen One'. It could show how their paths cross in unexpected ways, like in a political intrigue within the Ministry of Magic where they have to form an uneasy alliance to achieve their respective goals.
One common theme is redemption. Narcissa was a Death Eater's wife, and in many fanfictions, she tries to redeem herself through her interactions with Harry. Another theme is the blurring of the lines between good and evil. Since Harry represents good and Narcissa was on the 'bad' side originally, their relationship in fanfics often challenges the traditional view of good and evil.
