Unlikely friends can get along through mutual understanding. For example, if one is a predator - like a wolf - and the other is a prey - like a sheep - they need to understand that they are different from the norm of their species. The wolf might refrain from its hunting instincts and the sheep might trust that the wolf won't harm it. This could start from a situation where they both face a common threat. Like a forest fire that forces them to rely on each other for survival.
Unlikely friends often get along when they have a shared experience. Take a turtle and a hare. Usually, they are very different in their speed and lifestyle. But if they both get lost in a maze, they have to rely on each other's strengths. The hare can use its speed to scout ahead, while the turtle's slow and steady nature can help them avoid hasty mistakes. Over time, through this shared experience and cooperation, they develop a friendship that goes beyond their initial differences.
Once there was a little mouse and a big cat. Normally, they would be enemies. But this cat was old and had lost its hunting instincts. One day, the mouse got caught in a trap. The cat saw it and instead of eating it, the cat used its paw to free the mouse. Since then, they became unlikely friends. The mouse would often bring little bits of food it found to the cat, and they would keep each other company.
There is a story about a fox and a chicken. In a small farm, a fox got trapped in a fence and was injured. The farmer's daughter found it and nursed it back to health. Meanwhile, there was a pet chicken on the farm. As the fox recovered, instead of attacking the chicken, it seemed to recognize the kindness of the family. The fox and the chicken started spending time together. The fox would even protect the chicken from other predators. It's an unlikely friendship that goes against the natural predator - prey relationship.
Sure. There is a story about a cat and a mouse becoming friends. Usually, cats hunt mice, but in this case, they live in the same house. The cat was raised with the mouse from a young age, and they got used to each other's presence. They even sleep together sometimes.
In many fanfictions, Hermione's friendship with Slytherins often starts with a common goal. For example, they might be working on a complex school project together. Hermione's intelligence and determination can break through the initial Slytherin stereotypes. The Slytherins, in turn, may show Hermione a different side of Hogwarts' social structure. They could introduce her to some unique magical knowledge or skills that are more prevalent in Slytherin house. This gradually builds respect and friendship between them.
An unlikely way to tell an unlikely story might involve having multiple timelines that intersect in unexpected ways. Or maybe setting the story in a completely unique and unfamiliar setting that challenges the reader's expectations.
Well, one way fanfiction might handle Draco, Harry, Ron and Hermione as friends is by exploring their different personalities coming together. Harry's bravery, Ron's loyalty, Hermione's intelligence and Draco's cunning could combine in unexpected ways. They could start off as enemies but as the story unfolds, they realize they have more in common than they thought, like a shared love for Hogwarts and a desire to protect it.
The identity of the unlikely murderer would depend on the specific true story. Without more details, it's impossible to say exactly who it was.
One can start by looking at the plot structure. See how the events are arranged in 'an unlikely story' and if there are any recurring patterns.
It could be their social standing. If they were well - respected in the community, like a church leader or a successful businessperson, people would not suspect them easily. They were probably seen as having too much to lose to engage in such a heinous act. Also, if they had a family and a good reputation, others would find it hard to believe they could be a murderer. Their daily life might have been so ordinary and positive - looking on the surface that no one would think they were capable of taking someone's life.
Begin with a character. Create a really unique character with some odd traits or abilities. For example, a detective who can see ghosts. And then build a story around this character. Think about what kind of situations this character would get into and how they would react. Also, do some research if your unlikely story has elements that are based on real - world concepts but in a very different way, like if it's a story about a new form of energy in a science - fiction setting.
