He could become withdrawn. Draco might isolate himself from others, not wanting to let anyone see his inner turmoil. This could make him seem even more mysterious in the fanfic.
Well, one consequence could be that the wizarding world is thrown into chaos. Dumbledore was a symbol of stability and wisdom. His death at Draco's hands would shatter the trust many had in Hogwarts. The students might be scared and confused, not knowing who to trust.
Using cheats in fanfiction through something like a 'draco plug' is unethical. If discovered, it could lead to negative feedback from the fanfiction community. Writers might lose the respect of their readers and could even be banned from certain platforms. It undermines the integrity of the creative process in fanfiction writing.
Well, one consequence could be that Draco feels extremely guilty. He might try to make it up to Harry in various ways, like helping him with his studies secretly. In some fanfictions, this accident could also lead to a change in their relationship dynamic, from enemies to something more complex, like reluctant allies.
A great 'Draco Consequences' fanfiction is 'The Aftermath of Draco'. In this, Draco has to deal with the aftermath of his family's actions during the war. It shows how he tries to break free from the dark legacy and create a new path for himself. It's a really engaging read.
In the wizarding community at large, he could become an outcast. Other wizards and witches would likely look down on him, and he might find it difficult to get support or make alliances in the future. His actions could also lead to him being targeted by those who support Hermione and want justice for her.
For Harry, his friends in Gryffindor could be a bit confused at first. They know Draco is not exactly a friendly character. But overall, it could lead to a more united front against real threats in Hogwarts. The teachers might also take notice. Dumbledore, for instance, would probably be proud of Harry for showing such selfless courage, regardless of who he was saving.
One consequence could be a change in the public's perception of Hermione. Some might see her as a hero for standing up against an unjust imprisonment, while others might view her actions as traitorous, especially if they believe Draco was truly guilty. This could create a divide among the wizarding community.
On the other hand, it could also lead to a change in their relationship. Draco might start to respect Hermione's boldness and intelligence. He could realize that his own behavior has been rather childish, and this could be a turning point in the fanfiction where they start to understand each other better, albeit reluctantly at first.
In the Hogwarts hierarchy, things would change. Hermione is often seen as a bit of an outcast by some Slytherins because she's a Gryffindor. Draco, now in her body, would face a different kind of discrimination or at least a lot of strange looks from his own housemates. He would also have to deal with Hermione's reputation among the teachers. Some teachers might expect the same level of knowledge and participation from 'Hermione' (who is actually Draco), and he would struggle to meet those expectations.
