A 'Harry Potter Malfoys trial' fanfiction could have many twists. For example, the evidence against the Malfoys might be fabricated by some who want to take over their wealth and status. The Malfoys could then fight back, with Draco using his intelligence to prove their innocence. Hermione might be involved as a legal advisor of sorts, using her knowledge of wizarding law. And Harry could be conflicted, as he has his own history with the Malfoys but also believes in justice. The trial could also expose the dark underbelly of the wizarding legal system, with corruption and bias playing a role.
Well, it could be a total chaos. Harry's values are so different from the Malfoys'. He might constantly clash with Draco and Lucius. But on the other hand, it could also lead to some interesting character developments. Maybe Harry could gradually change the Malfoys' views on Muggle - borns over time.
In this fanfiction, a key witness might be Bellatrix Lestrange. If she were alive, she could be made to testify about the Malfoys' involvement with Voldemort. She was very close to the Dark Lord and knew a lot about the inner workings of the Death Eaters. Also, members of the Order of the Phoenix, like Remus Lupin or Kingsley Shacklebolt, could be witnesses. They were constantly fighting against the Death Eaters and would have knowledge of the Malfoys' actions. Additionally, some of the house - elves who served the Malfoys could be witnesses, as they would know a great deal about what went on in the Malfoy Manor.
In a Harry Potter Umbridge trial fanfiction, Umbridge could finally be held accountable for her cruel actions at Hogwarts. Maybe she'd be tried for her abuse of power, like using the blood - quill on students. The Wizengamot might hear testimonies from students like Harry, Hermione, and Neville about the unjust punishments and the way she ran the school tyrannically.
Well, in the 5th year trial fanfiction, Harry might face some unjust accusations. Maybe the Ministry of Magic is trying to pin something on him again, just like in the original story. He could be put on trial for using magic outside of school when he was actually defending himself.
Another possibility is that it's a set - up for a character - development arc for both Harry and the Malfoys. The call could be the starting point of a complex relationship where they gradually learn to understand each other better. For example, Draco Malfoy might start to see Harry in a different light, and Harry might realize that the Malfoys are not entirely the one - dimensional villains he thought they were.
In a fanfic, the Dursleys might face charges for their mistreatment of Harry. They could be put on trial by the wizarding world for things like emotional abuse and neglect. For example, they made Harry live in a cupboard under the stairs and treated him like a servant. They might be found guilty and face various punishments, such as having their magic - related memories modified or being exiled from the wizard - protected areas near their home.
Well, one possibility is that Harry would grow up with a very different set of values. The Malfoys are known for their pure - blood supremacist views. Harry might initially be influenced by this but then could have an internal struggle as he discovers his own true nature and the importance of equality. He could also learn different types of magic from the Malfoy family's traditions, which might make him a more complex and different wizard compared to the one we know from the original series.
In the 'Harry adopted by the Malfoys' fanfiction, one possibility is that Harry would receive a very different kind of magical education. The Malfoys might try to mold him into a Slytherin - like wizard, but Harry's own Gryffindor - like courage would constantly be at odds with that. Also, his relationship with Draco could be very complex, ranging from initial rivalry as they are brought up in the same household to a possible understanding and even friendship later on.
In Harry Potter fanfiction, the Malfoys are often portrayed in a more complex and sometimes positive light. Some fanfictions might explore Draco Malfoy's struggle between his family's beliefs and his own emerging sense of right and wrong. He could be shown as having a change of heart, perhaps influenced by his interactions with Harry and his friends. This gives a new dimension to his character that we don't fully see in the original books.
Perhaps Harry travels back in time and tries to befriend Draco before he becomes so antagonistic. He could show Draco the error of his ways early on, like how being mean to others isn't cool. This could lead to Draco being a more positive influence in Slytherin house instead of causing trouble.
