Well, Bellatrix is a very complex and cruel character. In the fanfiction context, she might torture Draco to assert her dominance. She is a powerful and deranged Death Eater, and by torturing Draco, she can show that she is in control. Also, it could be related to her pure - blood mania. If she thinks Draco is not living up to the pure - blood standards in some way, she may take it upon herself to 'correct' him through torture.
Sure. There could be. For example, in some fanfictions, the 'torture' might be more of an emotional or mental kind. Bellatrix could use her intimidating presence and cruel words to torment Draco. This type of story can be interesting as it delves into the complex family dynamics within the Death Eater world. It can show how Draco tries to cope with such a difficult situation, perhaps by seeking help from unexpected allies like some of the Hogwarts students who oppose the Death Eaters.
One popular Draco tortured fanfiction is 'The Boy Who Lived to Save the World'. It delves into Draco's inner turmoil as he faces various forms of torment. Another is 'Draco's Dark Days' which shows his struggle in a very vivid way. There's also 'In the Shadows of Malfoy Manor' where his tortured existence is well - portrayed.
Fanfiction about Voldemort torturing Draco can be quite intense. One possible reason for this plotline is to add more depth to Draco's character. By experiencing such extreme pain and suffering, he may become more sympathetic to the readers. Also, it can highlight the fear that Voldemort instilled in his followers. If he could torture one of his own, no one was truly safe.
It depends on how the author writes it. If it's very graphic and violent, it might not be suitable for younger readers. But some authors can handle the dark theme in a more tasteful and less disturbing way.
This kind of scenario in fanfiction often plays on the emotions of the readers. It might make Harry seem more heroic as he could potentially try to stop the torture. On the other hand, it could also show Draco in a more vulnerable light, which is different from his usual haughty self. The fanfiction author might be using this situation to build a bridge between the two characters, who are often on opposite sides in the original series. It could also lead to a whole new arc in the fanfiction where they team up against a common enemy because of this shared traumatic experience.
One possible motive could be jealousy. Bellatrix is extremely loyal to Voldemort, and Hermione is a very powerful and intelligent witch from the side opposing Voldemort. Bellatrix might see Hermione as a threat and also be jealous of the attention Hermione gets from Harry and Ron. So, she tortures Hermione to try and break her spirit and prove her own superiority.
One common theme is the exploration of dark magic. Since Bellatrix is a known dark witch and Draco was on the verge of fully embracing the dark side, fanfictions often look into how dark magic affects their relationship and individual characters. For example, in some stories, Draco might be tempted by the same kind of magic Bellatrix uses.
The appeal of Draco tortured fanfiction lies in the transformation of his character. We see a different side of him. Usually, in the original story, he's a bit of a bully, but in these fanfictions, his pain makes him more relatable.
