One idea could be that Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. He then has to deal with the prejudices within his own house as well as from other houses. Draco could initially be hostile but then they gradually become friends as they discover they have more in common than they thought, like their ambition and a desire to prove themselves. They could team up to solve a mystery within the Slytherin common room that is linked to the dark history of the house.
At first, it might be less hostile. Since they're in the same house, Draco might see Harry as someone he can influence or befriend. Harry, on the other hand, would be cautious but also curious. They could end up having a sort of begrudging respect for each other as they realize they both have complex personalities.
Their relationship could develop through a shared love of potions. Harry discovers he has a natural talent for it, much to Snape's surprise. Draco, being a traditional Slytherin, also excels in potions. They start to compete in a friendly way, which then turns into a mutual respect for each other's skills. This could lead to them working together on a special potion project that requires both Gryffindor - like boldness (from Harry) and Slytherin cunning (from Draco).
In terms of values, a female Malfoy in Gryffindor would value courage and chivalry over the Slytherin values of ambition and cunning in a different way. While a Slytherin Malfoy would use cunning to achieve their ambitions, often in a self - serving way, a Gryffindor Malfoy would use her courage to fight for others. For instance, she would be the first to volunteer to help in a dangerous situation in Hogwarts, like when there is a dark creature loose, rather than thinking about how it could benefit her like a Slytherin might.
One common theme is family loyalty. In a lot of fanfictions, we see Draco and Lucius sticking together through thick and thin, no matter what the situation is in the wizarding world.
The OC healer has a profound impact on Draco. She can use her healing skills not only on his body but also on his soul. By being a different kind of presence in his life, not judgmental like some others in the wizarding world, she can offer him a fresh start. In the fanfiction world, she might encourage Draco to pursue a different path, one that is more about self - discovery and growth. This could involve learning new magical arts or making new friends outside of his usual pure - blood circle. All in all, the OC healer can be the catalyst for a completely new Draco Malfoy.
In another world, Draco Malfoy could be a heroic figure. Maybe he grows up in a world where the values are completely different. He might use his intelligence not for the Dark Arts but for the good of all. He could be fighting against real evil, like a dragon that is terrorizing villages, and use his Slytherin cunning to outwit the beast.
In some fanfictions, Draco might start to question his family's loyalty to Voldemort. The events of the Goblet of Fire could expose him to the true horrors of the Dark Lord's plans, causing him to develop a more independent and moral stance. For example, he could see the harm that Voldemort's return brings to Hogwarts and its students, and this makes him reevaluate his associations.
Her character arc could be quite different. The original Draco was somewhat on a path of following his family's dark - sided views at first. But Female Draco in fanfiction might be more independent - minded. She could be on a journey to break away from the family's legacy of supporting the Dark Lord and instead pursue a more positive and self - defined path in the wizarding world.
Well, it could be really chaotic. Draco's slytherin ways might clash with the Avengers' hero complex. He might try to manipulate the situation for his own gain, but the Avengers would likely see through his tricks.
