In some fanfics, the relationship develops because the dragon senses a great power within Harry. The dragon, being a powerful and ancient creature, feels a sort of kinship. They then begin to spend time together. The dragon could teach Harry about forgotten magic or show him secret places in the wizarding world. Harry, on the other hand, could offer the dragon a new perspective on the human - wizard world. This mutual exchange helps their relationship grow deeper and more complex over time.
Often, the development of their relationship is tied to a common goal. For example, there could be a dark force threatening both the dragon's lair and Harry's world. They are forced to team up. As they face challenges together, they learn about each other's strengths and weaknesses. The dragon might use its physical strength and elemental powers, while Harry uses his magic skills and quick thinking. Through these shared experiences, their relationship evolves from a simple acquaintance to a deep and unbreakable bond.
Well, it often starts with an unexpected encounter. Maybe Harry stumbles upon the dragon in a hidden place. At first, the dragon might be wary but then realizes Harry is special. As time goes on, they start to trust each other. The dragon might start to protect Harry from threats, and Harry in turn, might learn to communicate with the dragon in a unique way.
Well, initially, Harry might be resistant to the idea of being adopted by Snape. He may think it's some sort of trick. But Snape, with his own sense of duty and newfound affection for Harry, tries to break through that resistance. As they spend more time together, Snape might share his own experiences at Hogwarts when he was a student, which helps Harry relate to him. And Harry, in return, might show Snape the good qualities he has inherited from his mother. This exchange of vulnerabilities and shared experiences gradually deepens their relationship into something more like a real father - son relationship.
At first, it might be a relationship based on Grindelwald's self - serving motives. He sees Harry as a tool. But as they spend time together, there could be moments of mutual understanding. Harry might start to see Grindelwald not just as a villain but as someone with complex ideas.
The relationship might start off very tensely. Tom, being who he is, might see Harry as a tool or a project at first. Snape, on the other hand, may be more reluctant but still bound by some sort of obligation. As time goes on, they could develop a strange sort of co - parenting dynamic, with lots of arguments and power struggles over how to raise Harry.
At first, it would probably be very tense. Harry would be suspicious of Voldemort's motives, and Voldemort would be cautious of Harry's potential to rebel. But as time goes on, they might develop a strange sort of understanding. Harry could start to see Voldemort as more than just a pure evil figure, and Voldemort might start to view Harry as something more than an enemy.
In many of these fanfics, the relationship is a slow - burn development. Draco's initial control is more about power and showing superiority. However, as time goes on, they are forced to interact more closely. This might lead to Draco seeing Harry's vulnerability and Harry seeing Draco's hidden kindness. They could then start to form a bond that is based on shared experiences while under this strange control dynamic.
His sense of responsibility grows. As he bonds with the dragon, he has to take care of it, feed it, and protect it. This makes him more mature and aware of his actions' consequences.
One good example could be 'Dragon's Guardian of Harry'. In this fanfic, the dragon might take on a role of protecting Harry in ways that the normal wizarding world fails to. It could add a whole new layer of adventure and danger, with the dragon's unique abilities coming into play.
Their relationship could develop in a very interesting way. At first, Aragorn might be a bit wary of Harry's magic, but as he sees Harry use it for good, he would start to trust him more. Harry, on the other hand, would look up to Aragorn as a strong and noble father figure. They would bond over shared experiences like facing danger together. For example, when they are attacked by orcs, they would rely on each other's skills - Aragorn's combat skills and Harry's magic - to survive, which would deepen their bond.
As the story progresses, their relationship could become more complex. Harry might become a father figure to Tom, teaching him right from wrong. Tom, on the other hand, could start to see Harry as someone he can rely on, but also struggle with his own inner demons that might pull him away from Harry's influence.
At first, it's likely to be tense. Harry has years of seeing Snape as a bully. But as they start living together, they begin to understand each other. Snape might show his more vulnerable side to Harry, like his memories of Harry's mother. Harry, in turn, starts to respect Snape's knowledge and sacrifice. Eventually, they develop a bond like a father - son relationship.
