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.
In Draco Malfoy family fanfiction, the relationship between Draco and his mother, Narcissa, can be really fascinating. Some stories might show Narcissa as a more protective and loving mother than we saw in the original books. For example, she could be secretly helping Draco make better choices away from the Dark Arts, which would change the whole family's path.
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 way to develop their characters is through their interactions with other characters. Draco could have a meaningful conversation with a former enemy, like a Weasley. Scorpius could befriend a Slytherin who has a completely different family background. These interactions would force them to re - evaluate their own beliefs and values, leading to character development.
One idea could be a story where Scorpius discovers a long - hidden family secret that Draco has been trying to protect him from. It could involve some dark magic from their family's past.
One great fanfiction is 'The Malfoy Heirloom'. It delves deep into the relationship between Draco and Lucius, exploring how family traditions and the dark mark influence their bond. It has really well - written dialogues that give a new perspective on their characters.
Well, it usually involves creating a compelling plot where the characters have deep connections and shared experiences that lead to a potential marriage.
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.
