Charlie may first show confusion. He might think there's some misunderstanding. But once he realizes it's true, he could become very protective. He might offer to teach Harry self - defense skills if it's physical abuse, or help him build his confidence back if it's emotional abuse. Charlie could also try to get help from others he trusts, like friends or other authority figures in the fanfiction world, to make sure Harry is removed from the abusive situation as soon as possible.
Dumbledore's reaction could be complex. He might feel guilty for not realizing it sooner. In some fanfictions, he would try to make amends by providing more support and protection to Harry. Other teachers at Hogwarts, like McGonagall, would be sympathetic and might offer their own forms of help, like extra tutoring or a place for Harry to relax.
Hermione would probably be very angry and start researching ways to help Harry legally in the wizarding world. Ron, on the other hand, would be ready to fight anyone who had hurt Harry.
The other students could have a range of reactions. Some might be sympathetic and try to befriend Harry more. Others might be afraid, especially if the abuser is still around. But overall, it would create a stir in the wizarding community, and there would be a general outpouring of concern for Harry's well - being.
She might be extremely angry. In many fanfictions, Ginny is a strong - willed character. So, she could immediately seek justice for Harry, perhaps by confronting those who were responsible for the abuse in the story.
Sam could be in shock at first. Then he might start to dig deeper into Dean's past to understand the full extent of the abuse. He would likely try to get Dean to open up more about it and offer his support in any way he can. For example, he could be more understanding when Dean has certain triggers related to the abuse.
The storyline usually develops with Charlie taking action. He might start by confronting the abuser if he feels it's safe to do so. For instance, if the abuser is someone within their school or community in the fanfiction, Charlie could go and have a talk with them, warning them to stop. Another way the story could go is that Charlie focuses on helping Harry heal. He could introduce Harry to new hobbies or activities to distract him from the abuse he has endured.
The reactions could be mixed. Some in Auradon might be sympathetic and eager to help right away. They could start campaigns to raise awareness about the VKs' situation and collect donations for their well - being. However, others might be afraid. They could worry that the VKs, with their history of abuse, might be damaged goods and could cause trouble in Auradon. But overall, I think the discovery would lead to a significant shift in how Auradon perceives and treats the VKs.
One common plotline is Severus becoming Harry's protector. He may start to train Harry privately to make him stronger. Another could be Severus confronting Harry's abusers, whether it's the Dursleys or others in the wizarding world.
One common theme is redemption. Draco's discovery can lead to his own redemption as he tries to make up for his past behavior towards Harry. Another is friendship. It shows how a difficult situation can bring two former enemies closer together.
Their friendship would become deeper. Ron would be more protective and more attuned to Harry's emotions. There would be a new level of trust as Harry has shared such a difficult and personal experience with Ron.
