There's 'Aurors in Training'. This fanfiction focuses on Harry and Draco's early days as Auror trainees. It's full of action scenes where they learn to use magic in combat situations. The story also delves into their complex relationship as they compete and sometimes cooperate with each other.
One key characteristic is the relationship development between Harry and Draco. In the context of being Aurors, they could have a begrudging respect for each other at first, which then turns into a deeper friendship or something more. The setting also matters. A vivid description of the Auror department, its rules, and the overall wizarding society makes the fanfiction more immersive. Also, the writing style should be engaging, not too dry or overly flowery, so that readers can easily follow the story of these two characters in their Auror roles.
A possible plot is that there is a mysterious dark wizard on the loose who seems to be targeting both Harry and Draco's families. They must put aside their differences and work as Auror partners to protect their loved ones. Along the way, they discover secrets about each other that they never knew before, like Draco's hidden acts of kindness during the war that Harry was unaware of. This new understanding helps them bond and fight the common enemy more effectively.
Well, they could start as Auror partners in a case where Muggle - born wizards are disappearing. Harry suspects it has something to do with the old Death Eater ideology still lingering. Draco, on the other hand, is more skeptical. As they investigate, they find clues that lead them to an abandoned Death Eater hideout. Here, they face various magical traps and have to rely on each other's unique magical knowledge. Draco's knowledge of the Dark Arts and Harry's intuition work together to get them out of dangerous situations and closer to solving the mystery.
At the start, their relationship would be full of tension. But as they face dangerous situations together, they'd gradually see each other in a new light. For instance, when Harry saves Draco from a dark spell during a mission, Draco might start to question his long - held grudges. Over time, they could become friends, sharing secrets and relying on each other more than they ever thought possible.
Initially, their relationship as Auror partners would be full of mistrust. Harry still remembers Draco's past actions as a bully and Draco is wary of Harry's popularity. However, when they are given a difficult case that requires them to rely on each other's unique skills, things start to change. They might have late - night discussions about their different perspectives on magic and life. These conversations help them understand each other better. As time passes, they could become closer friends, and perhaps even confidants, sharing secrets they've never told anyone else.
One great Auror Harry Potter fanfiction is 'The Auror Files of Harry Potter'. It shows Harry's life as an Auror, dealing with new dark threats. Another is 'Harry Potter: Auror in Training' which focuses on his early days in the Auror training program.
It could also include some new characters created specifically for the fanfiction. For example, a tough and experienced auror who becomes Harry's mentor and teaches him some advanced techniques. Or a young, talented witch or wizard who Harry takes under his wing as a trainee. These new characters can add new dynamics to the story.
Hermione would be a great ally. With her vast knowledge of magic and her logical thinking, she could help Harry solve complex cases. Ron could also be an ally, using his loyalty and his own skills in combat and magic. Neville might be another one, having grown into a confident and powerful wizard, he could bring his unique skills in herbology and his courage to the Auror department to support Harry.
One common theme is redemption. Harry often tries to redeem some of the minor villains he encounters as an Auror. Another is friendship. His relationships with Ron and Hermione continue to be important even in his Auror days.
