The spanking could be a turning point. It could be a catalyst for them to start communicating more openly. Maybe Draco spanks Harry as a way to get his attention because he has something important to tell Harry about a threat in the wizarding world. This leads to a series of interactions where they gradually build trust and respect for each other.
In some cases, the relationship could develop in a more complex way. The spanking might be part of a power struggle between them. However, as they face external challenges together, like fighting dark wizards or solving magical mysteries, they come to see each other as allies rather than rivals. And through this process, their relationship evolves from animosity to something more positive.
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.
At first, they might be shocked and a bit confused about being twins. But as time goes on, they start to trust each other more. They could share their secrets and fears, like Harry might tell Draco about his nightmares of Voldemort, and Draco might open up about the pressure from his family.
At first, it's likely to be full of hostility. Draco would probably enjoy lording over Harry as his slave, and Harry would resent it. But as the story progresses, they might start to understand each other better. For instance, Draco could see Harry's strength and determination even in his slave position.
At first, it's likely to be very tense. Draco would be suspicious of Harry's motives for protecting him. He might think it's some sort of trick. But as time goes on, they start to understand each other better. Harry realizes that Draco isn't all bad and Draco sees that Harry is genuinely trying to help. This could lead to a grudging respect between them. Eventually, they might even become friends, or at least allies.
Towards the end, their relationship could become a very strong and unique one. They could be each other's closest confidants, with Harry being the one Draco turns to when he has doubts about the pure - blood ideology, and Draco being the person Harry trusts to keep him safe in the Slytherin common room. Their bond would be a mix of brotherly love and mutual respect.
In such a fanfiction, their relationship would be a slow - burn process. Initially, Draco would be hesitant and might even try to maintain his superiority complex. But as time passes, Harry's genuine friendship would start to chip away at Draco's facade. They might start sharing secrets, like Draco might confide in Harry about the pressure from his family. Harry would in turn share his own fears about Voldemort. This mutual sharing would deepen their bond, and they would become true friends, facing the challenges in the wizarding world together, which would be a far cry from their antagonistic relationship in the original story.
At first, Harry and Draco would be at odds in prison. Harry, with his sense of justice, would be disgusted by Draco's past actions. Draco, on the other hand, would be resentful of Harry's 'holier - than - thou' attitude. But as they are forced to live in close quarters and face common threats, they might begin to communicate. They could share their fears and hopes. Slowly, this could lead to a grudging respect for each other. Maybe Draco would open up about his family's pressures, and Harry would understand his situation better. This could transform their relationship from enmity to a more amicable one.
In these fanfictions, at first, Draco and Harry are often at odds. However, circumstances might bring them closer. Maybe they are both wrongly accused of something and have to work together to clear their names. As they spend time together, they begin to break down the barriers between them. Draco might start to admire Harry's bravery and Harry might see the vulnerability beneath Draco's tough exterior. This gradual change in perception is what usually paves the way for a deeper relationship.
At first, it might be a bit rocky. Harry might be grudgingly taking on the role of protector due to some sense of duty. But as time goes on, they start to understand each other better. Draco realizes Harry's sincerity in protecting him, and Harry sees Draco's determination as a reporter.
They might start as cautious allies. They would be testing the waters, not fully trusting each other yet but knowing they need to work together. For example, they could be sharing information about certain spells or magical artifacts that are relevant to their new situation.
