In this type of fanfiction, Harry can transform from a somewhat impulsive hero into a more calculating and thoughtful person. This is because he has to deal with Draco's Slytherin - like thinking. Draco, who was once a self - centered and sometimes cruel character, may grow into a more selfless individual. The marriage law forces them to be in close proximity, and they start to influence each other in positive ways. For instance, Harry might influence Draco to be more open - minded about Muggle - borns, and Draco might teach Harry how to better protect himself using Slytherin - inspired strategies.
One interesting plotline could be how Harry and Draco initially resist the marriage law but gradually start to understand each other. They might discover hidden depths in one another that they never expected. For example, Draco could show his vulnerability to Harry, and Harry could show his determination to make the best of the situation. Another plotline could involve their families' reactions. The Weasleys might be shocked and initially opposed, while the Malfoys might have their own complex feelings about their son being married to Harry Potter.
In these fanfictions, Harry may develop a more diplomatic side to his personality. Since Draco is from Slytherin and has a different way of thinking, Harry has to learn to negotiate and find middle ground. For Draco, his friendship with Harry can make him more empathetic. He might start to care about the well - being of others outside of his Slytherin clique, like the Gryffindors and other Hogwarts students, which is a big change from his initial self - centered attitude.
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.
The main characters are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, of course. Harry is the famous 'Chosen One' who has fought against Voldemort. Draco is from a pure - blood wizarding family, and has often been in conflict with Harry at Hogwarts.
At first, it would become more strained. Harry would likely be angry and hurt by Draco's actions that made him cry, so he might avoid Draco even more than before. He might also be more on guard around Draco, not trusting him at all.
Their relationship would likely become more collaborative. They would have to communicate regularly about Teddy's needs, like his schoolwork, his magical training, and his emotional well - being. This would force them to put aside their past grudges and start seeing each other in a new light.
Narcissa Malfoy could also be important. As Draco's mother, she might have mixed feelings about the situation. On one hand, she wants to protect her son, but on the other, she might see the potential good in Harry and Draco working together for the baby's sake.
Snape can also be a prominent character. Given his history with both Harry and Draco's families, his reaction to their deaged state can add a lot of drama. He could be torn between his duties as a teacher and his complex feelings towards the two boys. Additionally, Dumbledore is often included. His wisdom and guidance are crucial in helping the deaged Harry and Draco figure out what has happened to them and how to move forward.
Hermione is often a popular character. She might be the one who discovers something unusual about the toys and helps Harry and Draco understand their significance. Ron could also be there, perhaps getting into some comical situations because of the toys. And sometimes, even the teachers like Dumbledore or Snape can make an appearance, maybe guiding Harry and Draco in their toy - related adventures.
Well, it would likely make their relationship much more complex. Instead of the typical rivalry, there could be a sense of family obligation. Draco might feel protective of 'her' in a different way than he would a male Harry. He might be torn between his family's views and this new connection to Harry.
