Perhaps an event where Astoria gets pregnant. Draco is overjoyed but also very protective. He starts to transform their home to be more baby - friendly. Meanwhile, Astoria has to deal with some dark threats from Draco's past enemies who see the baby as a new target for the Malfoy family. They have to work together to protect their unborn child and their family, which tests their relationship in a new and intense way.
An interesting event could be a family reunion on Astoria's side. Draco has to meet Astoria's rather eccentric family members. He is out of his comfort zone as they are not as traditional as the Malfoys. There are all sorts of magical mishaps during the reunion, like a relative's magic going haywire. But Draco and Astoria support each other through it all, and Draco even starts to enjoy the chaos and the warmth of Astoria's family.
In a Draco and Astoria marriage fanfiction, it could focus on how they handle family secrets. Draco has many secrets from his past as a Death Eater in training. Astoria discovers some of these secrets accidentally. She is shocked at first but decides to help Draco face his demons. They go on a journey together, visiting places from Draco's past, like the Malfoy Manor. Through this process, their marriage becomes stronger as they learn to trust each other completely.
In fanfiction, their wedding night might be filled with tender moments. They could share a private dinner, just the two of them, reminiscing about how they got to this point in their relationship. Then, they might dance slowly in their room, looking into each other's eyes and feeling the deep connection they have. After that, they could simply sit by the fireplace and talk about their hopes and dreams for the future, enjoying the peace and newness of being husband and wife.
Another good one is 'Love in an Arranged Bond'. This story delves deep into the emotional turmoil of both Draco and Astoria. Astoria is a bit more open - minded about the marriage from the start, but Draco is resistant. As the story progresses, they start to share their secrets and fears with each other, which ultimately brings them closer together. The descriptions of their Hogwarts - like surroundings also add to the charm of the story.
One interesting Draco and Astoria fanfiction could be about their first encounter at a wizarding ball. Maybe Astoria is a bit shy and Draco is intrigued by her different demeanor compared to other pure - blood girls he's known. Another could focus on their post - war life together, rebuilding the Malfoy name in a more positive light with Astoria's influence.
One possible plot could be a post - war scenario. Draco, having redeemed himself to some extent, meets Astoria at a pure - blood gathering. Their initial encounter is filled with a bit of tension as they come from different yet similar backgrounds. As they start to talk more, they realize they have more in common than they thought. A slow - burning attraction develops, and finally, they share a kiss that symbolizes a new beginning for both of them, away from the dark pasts of their families.
The exploration of their relationship in a more mature and romantic context can be really appealing. It delves deeper into their personalities and how they interact on an intimate level.
One idea could be the baby having a special magical ability that Draco and Astoria have to figure out how to handle. For example, the baby might be able to communicate with magical creatures from a very young age. Another plot could revolve around the baby being in some sort of danger, like a dark wizard targeting the family because of Draco's past. Or perhaps the baby's first year at Hogwarts, with Draco and Astoria being overly protective and the comical situations that arise from that.
It could be a jealous rival of Draco's. Maybe someone from another pure - blood family who has always been envious of the Malfoys' status and wealth. They see kidnapping Draco and Astoria as a way to bring shame to the family.
A plot could involve Astoria being a secret healer who treats Draco after he gets injured in a dark magic - related incident. Draco is initially suspicious of her motives, but over time, he realizes she's truly there to help him and their relationship blossoms. This could explore themes of trust and redemption.
One common theme is redemption. Draco's character is often explored in terms of his journey from being a somewhat villainous figure in the original series to a more complex and redeemed person in fanfiction. His relationship with Astoria can be part of that redemption process.
