Well, 'Malfoy and Harry: A New Understanding' is a fanfic that stands out. It starts with their typical Hogwarts rivalry but then takes a turn as they discover they have more in common than they thought. It has some great character interactions and a well - crafted plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
One reason could be for the greater good of the wizarding world. If Lucius is healed, he might be able to turn away from the Dark side and provide useful information about Voldemort's remaining followers.
Well, in some fanfictions, Harry might use his advanced magic skills he learned from Dumbledore's old books. Maybe he discovers a long - forgotten spell that can reverse the dark magic effects on Lucius.
It could be that Harry has noticed some strange behavior from Malfoy. For instance, Malfoy might be acting secretively around certain areas of Hogwarts. Harry's squinting is his way of observing Malfoy closely to find out what he's hiding.
Hermione would probably be involved. She's always by Harry's side when it comes to solving mysteries. She could use her vast knowledge to help Harry figure out what's so special about Vault 99. Ron might also be there. He's Harry's loyal friend and would be ready to back him up in any adventure related to Malfoy and the vault.
One consequence could be that Harry starts to have confused feelings towards Malfoy. He might act out of character, doing things he wouldn't normally do, like spending more time with Malfoy or being overly affectionate.
Enemies - to - lovers is also quite common. The idea that their initial hatred could turn into romantic feelings over time. And there's also the theme of self - discovery. They both learn more about themselves through their interactions with each other, like Malfoy realizing his family's values might not be all he wants to uphold, and Harry understanding that not all Slytherins are bad.
One common theme is redemption. Many fanfics focus on Malfoy's journey towards redemption and how Harry plays a part in it. Another theme is friendship. Despite their differences, the idea of them becoming friends or at least having a more positive relationship is explored often.
Well, power dynamics is a big theme. The Malfoys are known for their pursuit of power and status in the wizarding world. In 'Harry is a Malfoy' fanfiction, Harry gets caught up in this power struggle. He might have to decide whether to embrace the Malfoy way of using power or stay true to his own values. Redemption is another theme. Some fics might explore the idea of the Malfoys being redeemed through their relationship with Harry, or vice versa. And there's always the theme of magic, as new magical elements are often introduced to explain the connection between Harry and the Malfoys.
