There are fanfictions where Harry, after the war, reaches out to Draco who is struggling with the aftermath. Harry offers him a place to stay at the Burrow for a while to get away from the dark memories at the Malfoy Manor. He shows kindness by including Draco in the Weasley family activities, like playing Quidditch in the backyard and sharing meals together. This helps Draco to heal and also forges a new bond between them.
Good Draco fanfiction often has well - developed characters. It shows Draco not just as a one - dimensional villain but as a complex person with his own struggles and desires.
The contrast between Draco and Harry is another reason. Harry is the hero, always in the spotlight, and Draco is from a different world. When Draco becomes protective, it's a sort of reversal. It creates a lot of potential for drama and romance. For example, in many fanfictions, Draco has to go against his family's values to protect Harry, which adds a whole new layer to the story.
In some fanfictions, having Harry's boggart be Draco could represent Harry's deep - seated fears or insecurities related to Draco. Maybe it's about the threat Draco poses as a Slytherin or the constant rivalry between them. It can add an interesting layer to their relationship and show how Harry views Draco not just as an annoying classmate but as something that truly scares him on a deeper level.
One benefit is that it makes the animals happy. Happy animals are more likely to be friendly towards us. For example, a well - treated dog will wag its tail and be excited to see you.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'The Goblin's Friend'. In this story, Harry realizes the importance of the goblins in the wizarding world and starts to befriend them. He helps them with some of their rights issues in Gringotts. It's a really good read if you like this concept.
One challenge is staying true to the original characters. Harry is known for his loyalty to his friends like Ron and Hermione, and Draco has his Slytherin pride. So, making their friendship believable while keeping these traits intact can be difficult. For example, Draco's initial prejudice against Muggle - borns needs to be addressed and reconciled in the story for the friendship to seem real.
One challenge is staying true to the original characters' personalities. Harry is known for his loyalty and sense of justice, while Draco has been a bit of a bully. It's hard to make their friendship seem believable without changing them too much. Another challenge is dealing with the existing fanbase's expectations. Some fans might be very set in their views of Harry and Draco as enemies. Also, creating a new and interesting plot that brings them together in a friendship way can be difficult.
One great fanfiction is 'The Unexpected Bond'. In this story, Harry and Draco are forced to work together on a project, and they gradually discover they have more in common than they thought. It really explores their characters in depth and shows how their friendship could develop in a believable way.
Being nice to friends can lead to more enjoyable social experiences. If you are kind and positive in your interactions, your time together will be more fun. Also, it can expand your social circle. When your friends see how nice you are, they are more likely to introduce you to their other friends. Moreover, being nice to friends helps in reducing stress. A harmonious friendship where everyone is nice to each other is a source of comfort and relaxation, rather than a source of worry or conflict.
