One possible plot could be that Lucius is disappointed in Draco for not being as cruel or cold - hearted as he wants him to be. Lucius might try to toughen Draco up by putting him in difficult situations, like making him face a powerful dark creature alone. Draco, being scared and not ready for such a trial, starts to cry out of fear and a sense of being let down by his father.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Lucius has some secrets that he reveals to Draco in a harsh way. For instance, he could tell Draco about some dark family history or a dangerous mission that Draco is now expected to be a part of. The sudden burden and the shock of these revelations could be too much for Draco, causing him to cry.
Obviously, Lucius and Draco are the main characters. Lucius, with his strong - willed and often cold nature, is the instigator. Draco, a young wizard trying to find his place in the dark - leaning Malfoy family, is the victim of his father's actions that lead to his crying. Their relationship is central to the fanfiction.
Perhaps it's a story where Draco is learning how to fly better from his father Lucius. Lucius could be showing Draco some advanced flying techniques while they are on the broom, and during the flight, they might have a deep conversation about the family's future in the wizarding society.
One possibility is that Lucius is trying to prepare Draco for a dangerous task in the wizarding world. He believes that by starving Draco, he can make him more resilient and focused. However, this extreme method backfires as Draco starts to lose his health and his magical abilities start to wane. His friends notice the change and try to intervene, leading to a conflict between Lucius and those who want to protect Draco.
One possible plot could be that Lucius is trying to punish Draco for some disobedience or failure. Starving him could be a form of extreme discipline in a very dark and cruel Malfoy family dynamic.
Maybe Draco says some really mean and hurtful words to Harry. For example, he might make fun of Harry's family situation, like his parents' death or his relationship with the Dursleys. Words like that can be really cutting and could easily make Harry cry.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different interpretations in different fanfictions with this title. It might involve a power struggle within the Malfoy family, perhaps Lucius punishing Draco for some perceived disobedience or failure.
Well, perhaps the fanfiction explores how Draco has to face this unusual Boggart. He might initially be ashamed or try to hide it from others. But as the story progresses, through the help of his friends like Harry and Hermione (yes, an unlikely alliance in a fanfic), he starts to understand the root of his fear of Lucius and tries to change the family dynamic.
Perhaps Draco and Lucius find Hermione after she's been attacked by some dark creatures. Lucius might be more interested in using her injury to his advantage in the wizarding politics. But Draco, who has always had a bit of a soft spot for Hermione's intelligence and bravery, secretly tries to nurse her back to health. As Hermione recovers, she manages to outwit Lucius and also makes Draco question his family's allegiance to the Dark Lord.
Perhaps Draco saves Hermione in a very public and unexpected way. This could lead to a huge scandal in the wizarding world. Lucius might be shamed and lose a lot of his influence among the Death Eaters. Draco, on the other hand, might find himself an outcast among his own family and former friends. Hermione, feeling indebted to Draco, might try to protect him from the backlash, which could further develop their relationship in an interesting way. It could also be that Draco's act of saving Hermione is part of a prophecy that neither of them knew about. This could add a layer of mystery and destiny to their story.
It could involve Harry having some sort of dark power or being under a dark influence that leads him to enslave them. Maybe he discovers a long - forgotten spell or artifact that gives him this power.
