Their relationship could start off as a bit tense. Scorpius might be initially hesitant to learn from Harry, given their families' history. But as Harry shows him genuine kindness and a willingness to share his knowledge, Scorpius would start to respect Harry. Eventually, they could become something like mentor - mentee friends.
One common theme is friendship. Despite coming from a family with a dark past, Scorpius often forms unlikely friendships in fanfiction. For example, he might befriend characters from different houses or backgrounds.
A really popular one is 'Scorpius and the Time - Turner'. This fanfiction takes an exciting turn as Scorpius discovers an old Time - Turner and embarks on a journey through time. It's full of adventure and mystery, and his relationship with other characters, especially those from Harry Potter's time, is fascinatingly portrayed.
Love and acceptance are themes as well. Scorpius may struggle to be accepted by his peers or family members due to his family's past. Fanfics can show how he finds love and acceptance, either through true friends or by changing people's perceptions of him. And of course, the theme of growing up and self - discovery. Scorpius is in a unique position in the wizarding world, and fanfics often explore how he matures and discovers who he really is as he faces different challenges.
One common theme is friendship despite family differences. Their families have a history of enmity, but in fanfiction, they often overcome this to become friends or even more.
Friendship is a very common theme. Given their families' history, fanfictions often explore how they build a friendship despite the past. Another common theme is adventure, as they are Hogwarts students and can go on various magical adventures together.
One great 'albus potter x scorpius malfoy fanfiction' is 'The Unlikely Bond'. It beautifully explores their relationship as they face challenges together at Hogwarts. The story has a great balance of friendship and the potential for something more.
One interesting plot idea could be that Harry teaches Scorpius advanced defensive magic. Since Scorpius is a bright young wizard, Harry sees potential in him and decides to pass on some of his own unique skills. Another could be Harry teaching Scorpius about the importance of friendship across house divides, using his own experiences with Ron and Hermione as examples.
One great fanfic is 'Scorpius and the Time - Twisted Adventure'. It has an interesting plot where Scorpius Malfoy discovers a magical object that sends him back in time and he has to navigate the past while dealing with his family's legacy. Another is 'The Friendship of Scorpius Malfoy', which focuses on his friendship with Albus Potter and how they overcome the prejudices of their families.
Another challenge is dealing with the existing fanbase's expectations. Some fans might have very specific ideas about how these two characters should interact. If you deviate too much from what they expect, you might get negative feedback. Also, creating a unique plot in a world that has been so thoroughly explored in the Harry Potter series can be tough. You need to find a fresh angle for their story.
