Well, there are fanfictions where Harry and Daphne's relationship in the epilogue is all about rebuilding the wizarding community. They could be working side by side with Hermione and Ron to make Hogwarts better than ever. Daphne might use her family's influence and Harry his fame to bring positive changes. For example, they could start new magical education programs for young witches and wizards from all backgrounds.
First, think about the ending you want for them. Do you want them to be happily married with a big family? Or perhaps more focused on their individual careers in the wizarding world? Then, create a setting. It could be Hogwarts, or a new magical place. After that, develop their characters further. Think about how Daphne's Slytherin traits interact with Harry's Gryffindor ones. For example, Daphne might be more cautious while Harry is more impulsive.
One of the great ones is 'A New Beginning' which shows Harry and Daphne building a life together after the war. It beautifully portrays their relationship growth and how they deal with the post - war wizarding world.
You could also check out blogs that focus on Harry Potter fanfiction. Some bloggers are really into promoting and reviewing different fanfics. They might have a section dedicated to 'Harry and Daphne' fanfics, especially those with an epilogue focus. By following these blogs, you can stay updated on new and interesting fanfics in this category.
One benefit is getting more character development. Fanfiction often delves deeper into the characters' post - Hogwarts lives. For example, it might explore how Harry copes with his fame in a more detailed way than the original epilogue. Another advantage is exploring different storylines. Maybe in fanfiction, we can see alternate relationships or adventures that the official epilogue didn't touch on.
One great EWE fanfic is 'All Our Secrets Laid Bare'. It delves deep into the post - Hogwarts relationship between Harry and Draco. The character development is really well - done, showing how they've changed since their school days and how they now navigate a world where the war is over but the scars remain. Another good one is 'The Binding'. It has an interesting plot that involves a magical bond between them that forces them to confront their feelings for each other.
The relationship could also develop through cultural exchange. Daphne, being from a pure - blood Slytherin family, has different values and traditions compared to Harry. As they get to know each other, they introduce their respective cultures to one another. This leads to a deeper understanding and a more profound emotional connection between them.
In some fanfictions, their relationship develops through shared secrets. Daphne might share some Slytherin secrets with Harry, and in return, Harry tells her about his experiences with Voldemort. This sharing of personal and important information brings them closer together. They start to rely on each other more and more, and eventually, their relationship can range from a deep friendship to a romantic one, depending on the direction of the fanfiction.
Hermione could be involved. She might suspect Daphne of having ulterior motives regarding Harry and try to warn him, which could play into the betrayal storyline in some way, either as a catalyst or as someone who helps Harry deal with the betrayal later.
The 'Harry and Daphne Obliviate' fanfiction concept is really cool. When Obliviate is involved, it can explore themes of power and responsibility. Harry, having experienced the misuse of powerful magic, should be more cautious. But if he uses Obliviate on Daphne, it might be out of good intentions like protecting her from a dark secret. However, Daphne might feel violated when she realizes her memories have been tampered with, which can lead to conflict between them and drive the plot forward in many different ways.
