I'm not a big fan of this sort of fanfiction concept as it goes against the original relationships in the Harry Potter series. However, in the vast world of fanfiction, there might be such works out there. You can try searching on popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3) or Fanfiction.net.
One great 'Harry Draco cheating fanfiction' is 'A Twist of Fate'. It shows a complex relationship where Draco is seemingly cheating on his arranged marriage partner with Harry. The story is well - written, with great character development.
It could be that there are some rumors going around. In the wizarding world, rumors spread like wildfire. If someone saw Harry in a compromising situation with another person, even if it was innocent, and told Draco, he might believe it without asking Harry for his side of the story. Also, if Harry has been secretive about some of his activities lately, it could fuel Draco's suspicions.
Harry can start by being completely honest with Draco. He should sit down with Draco and tell him about all his recent activities, who he has been with, and why. For example, if he has been working on a project with a classmate, he can explain the details of the project.
The popularity of Harry Draco cheating fanfictions lies in the shock value. It goes against the expected relationships in the original series. People are intrigued by the drama and the way it can change the dynamic between two well - known characters.
It completely changes the relationship dynamics. In the original story, Draco and Hermione are more like rivals. But in fanfiction where he cheats on her, it creates a whole new layer of animosity and heartbreak. Hermione, who is usually strong - willed, has to deal with the betrayal in a different way than she does with her academic or magical challenges in the original.
One possible reason could be peer pressure. Maybe the other Slytherins in the fanfiction are pressuring him to cheat in order to maintain the house's reputation for being cunning and getting ahead at all costs. Another reason might be his own insecurities. He could feel that he's not smart enough or good enough compared to his classmates, so he resorts to cheating as a way to seem more competent.
In fanfiction, if Draco cheats, the punishment can vary greatly. It might lead to his expulsion from certain groups in the fictional world, or cause a rift in his relationships. For example, if he cheats in a magical competition, he could be banned from future events.
One possible plot could be that they are in arranged relationships with other people, but they start to have feelings for each other secretly. And then they have to hide their attraction while being unfaithful to their partners.
Well, there might be some. But I don't really encourage the idea of cheating in fanfictions as it goes against the positive values we usually expect. However, you can try searching on some major fanfiction websites like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. Just be aware that not all content may be of high quality.
