One possible scenario could be that Draco realizes the true evil of Voldemort and the Dark Mark represents everything he doesn't want to be. He might see Hermione's strength in the face of the Dark side and be inspired by her. Maybe he secretly helps the Order of the Phoenix instead of joining the Death Eaters, all while falling in love with Hermione.
The Death Eaters would probably see him as a traitor. They might try to hunt him down and punish him severely, perhaps even kill him. He would constantly be in danger and have to be on the run.
One common theme is the struggle between light and dark. Hermione, with the Dark Mark, has to constantly fight against the dark influence it represents. Another theme is forbidden love. Draco and Hermione coming from different sides in the wizarding world makes their relationship a forbidden one, especially with the added complication of the Dark Mark.
In fanfiction, Draco's connection to the Dark Mark often serves as a source of internal conflict. Writers explore how he grapples with the mark's implications and his family's ties to the Dark side. It can be a powerful device to show his character development.
One popular Dramione Dark Mark fanfiction is 'Marked' which delves deep into the implications of Hermione being marked in a world where the Dark Mark holds significant power. It shows a complex relationship between Draco and Hermione as they navigate this new and dangerous situation.
In some fanfictions, Draco's Dark Mark is shown as a constant source of pain, both physical and emotional. It's a reminder of his family's allegiance and his own mistakes.
Draco as a Seeker in Dramione fanfiction is a really cool concept. Firstly, it allows for a lot of action - packed Quidditch scenes. His natural Slytherin cunning can be put to good use as he tries to outwit the other team's Seeker. Secondly, in terms of his relationship with Hermione, it can be a source of tension or admiration. She might be initially skeptical of his abilities but then be impressed as she sees him in action. It also gives the fanfiction writer the opportunity to rewrite some of the traditional power dynamics within the Hogwarts Quidditch teams and the overall school hierarchy.
One motivation could be love. Maybe he has fallen in love with a non - Death Eater, like a Gryffindor girl, and doesn't want to be part of the dark side. Another could be fear of the consequences. He might have seen what the Dark Mark has done to others, like how it controls them, and he doesn't want that for himself.
One reason could be his underlying sense of good. Despite his family's alignment with the Dark side, Draco might have a moral compass that rebels against the evil associated with the Dark Mark. He may have seen the destruction and pain it causes and doesn't want to be part of it.
One great Dramione fanfiction where Draco is scared is 'Shadows of the Past'. In this story, Draco is haunted by his family's dark past and it makes him constantly on edge. Hermione tries to help him face his fears, which leads to some really heart - warming and tense moments between them.
