As Harry takes care of Ferret Draco, their relationship goes through a significant transformation. Harry discovers that Draco has insecurities and fears that he never knew about before. Draco, on the other hand, is forced to depend on Harry, which he initially resents but later comes to appreciate. This leads to a shift from their typical antagonistic relationship in the Hogwarts setting to a relationship where they start to respect and even care for each other in a new way.
Well, at first, Harry is just doing his duty to take care of Draco in his ferret form. But as time passes, they start to communicate in a different way. Draco, unable to be his usual snarky self as a ferret, has to rely on Harry. Harry realizes that Draco isn't all bad, and Draco, in turn, sees Harry's kindness. So, their relationship evolves into a more friendly and trusting one.
Their relationship evolves as Draco takes on the role of a caregiver. They start to understand each other better. Harry realizes that Draco is not just the mean Slytherin he thought he was. Draco, on the other hand, sees Harry's more human and fragile side. This newfound understanding paves the way for a deeper connection, perhaps even friendship or something more in the future of the fanfiction.
It often deepens their bond. Hermione's care shows Harry how much she truly cares about him. He starts to see her in a new light, not just as a friend but as someone who will be there for him no matter what. This can lead to a more intimate friendship where they share deeper secrets and emotions.
He might become more selfless. Usually, Draco is quite self - centered, but with a baby Harry to look after, he has to think about someone else's needs first. For example, he might sacrifice his own comfort to make sure Harry is warm and fed. Also, he could become more responsible as he has a life in his hands, and any mistake could be costly for Harry. This would be a huge change from his carefree, sometimes reckless, self.
He could also develop a better understanding of the 'light side'. Taking care of Harry, who represents so much of what the 'light side' stands for, even in his deaged state, makes Draco question his own alignment with the 'dark side'. This internal struggle can lead to significant character growth.
It changes their relationship drastically. Initially, they were at odds. But with Snape taking Harry in, they start to see each other in a new light. Harry might see Snape's more vulnerable side and Snape might see Harry as more than just James Potter's son.
Well, in such a fanfiction, it could greatly change the storyline. Snape is often portrayed as a complex and somewhat bitter character in the original story. But if he takes care of baby Harry, he might develop a different kind of bond with him. Maybe he'd become more protective and less resentful towards Harry as he watches him grow. This could lead to a completely different dynamic between Snape and the other characters too, like Dumbledore. He might not be as secretive from Dumbledore about his feelings for Harry.
In this kind of fanfiction, Hinata's care often deepens their bond. Naruto, who has always been somewhat alone, starts to rely on Hinata more. This reliance can turn into a deeper form of love. As Hinata takes care of his physical and emotional needs, Naruto realizes how important she is to him, which can lead to a more romantic relationship between them.
Harry is known for his kindness and loyalty. So, he would take care of Draco with a lot of patience. He would probably stay up all night if Draco was fussy, just to make sure he was okay. His protective nature would also mean he'd keep Draco safe from any harm, whether it's from other wizards or just from the general dangers in the wizarding world.
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.
Draco starts to become more empathetic. Usually seen as a bit of a cold character, taking care of Harry forces him to understand the feelings of others on a deeper level.
