At first, Harry would be very suspicious of Draco's motives. But as Draco continues to help, they could gradually form an uneasy alliance. They might start to communicate more, sharing secrets and fears. This would be a huge change from their previous relationship of mutual dislike. For example, they could meet in secret places in Hogwarts to exchange information. Over time, this could develop into a real friendship, with both of them learning to trust each other more. And this new - found relationship could have a big impact on the wizarding world around them, as they combine their skills and knowledge to fight against the common enemy, Voldemort.
Their relationship would likely become less antagonistic. Draco's help would make Harry see him in a new light, not just as a bully. Harry might start to question his previous assumptions about Draco.
In this fanfic, Draco could also provide Harry with some inside knowledge about the Ministry of Magic. Given his family's connections, he might know about certain underhanded dealings or weaknesses in the Ministry that Harry could use to his advantage in his fight against the Dark forces. For instance, Draco could tell Harry about a secret entrance to the Ministry that could be used for a stealthy mission.
Perhaps in this 7th - year fanfiction, Harry and Draco are both trying to find a way to end the war secretly. They start to communicate through a magical object that allows them to talk without being detected. As they share their thoughts and ideas, they develop a new - found respect for one another. They might even become friends in the end, and this friendship could play a crucial role in bringing peace to the wizarding world.
I really liked 'Draco's Sixth Year Redemption'. In this fanfic, Draco starts to question his loyalty to the Death Eaters. His interactions with Harry become more frequent and meaningful. They find themselves in a situation where they have to rely on each other in a way they never expected. It's a story that gives a fresh perspective on their characters during that crucial sixth year.
In the story, this concept could completely transform their relationship. Initially, they were rivals, but the act of tickling could introduce an element of intimacy (not in a romantic sense necessarily, but a closer, more personal connection). It could make them more curious about each other. Harry might wonder why Draco did it, and Draco might be surprised at Harry's reaction. This newfound curiosity could lead to more interactions, and they could gradually build a relationship based on mutual respect and a new - found sense of camaraderie.
For Harry, his relationship with Dumbledore could take an interesting turn. Dumbledore might see this new family connection as a way to bring more harmony to Hogwarts. He could give Harry and Draco special tasks together to help them bond. As for Draco, his relationship with his parents would be in turmoil. Lucius and Narcissa might not be happy about having Harry as part of the family, but they also might see some benefits in the long run. This could lead to a lot of family drama and internal conflict for Draco.
Fanfics change their relationship by creating situations where they have to rely on each other. For example, they might be trapped in a magical maze together and need to cooperate to get out. This forces them to see each other in a new light.
In this scenario, their relationship would take a 180 - degree turn. Draco would probably feel guilty about what he's done, and this guilt could drive him to be nicer to Harry. Harry, now a girl, would have to navigate a world that treats her differently. Draco could become her unexpected ally in this new situation. They might start to share secrets and confide in each other more than they ever did before. This new relationship would be full of challenges as they both have to come to terms with their new roles in each other's lives and also deal with the reactions of their friends and the rest of the wizarding community.
It often changes for the better. After Harry apologizes, Draco might be initially skeptical. But as they start to interact more, they could become friends or at least develop a mutual respect. For instance, they might start sharing their experiences during the war, which helps them understand each other better.
At first, it would become more strained. Harry would likely be angry and hurt by Draco's actions that made him cry, so he might avoid Draco even more than before. He might also be more on guard around Draco, not trusting him at all.
Their relationship would likely become more collaborative. They would have to communicate regularly about Teddy's needs, like his schoolwork, his magical training, and his emotional well - being. This would force them to put aside their past grudges and start seeing each other in a new light.
