Hermione could be a main character. She might be the one who first suspects Draco's new role as the chosen one. Hermione's intelligence and inquisitive nature would lead her to notice the strange things happening around Draco. She could either be an ally or a skeptic, depending on how the story unfolds.
Well, Ginny might interact with Draco if he's a maid in the fanfiction. She's a strong - willed character and her response to Draco in this new role could range from amusement to irritation. Another character could be Ron. Ron has always had a bit of a feud with Draco, and seeing him as a maid might bring out different reactions from Ron, like teasing or even a bit of begrudging respect if Draco does his job well. And of course, the other Slytherins might interact with him too. They could be embarrassed by his new position or try to help him depending on their individual personalities.
Draco might be horrified. He may have his own internal battles as he tries to reconcile the Ron he knew before with the victim of such a terrible act. He could be at a loss for words initially, not knowing how to approach Ron about it.
Snape could also punish Draco by deducting house points. Since Draco is in Slytherin, losing house points is a big blow to his pride and to the whole Slytherin house. This would make Draco the target of his housemates' ire, adding to the punishment's severity.
One popular theme could be the idea of redemption for Draco. In many fanfictions, he is shown to overcome his family's dark past and prejudice. Another theme might be the power of friendship or love that develops between Hermione and Draco, despite their initial differences. It could also explore how they navigate the complex wizarding world together, facing challenges from their respective houses and the general wizarding society.
Another way Draco stops Harry is by changing the environment around Harry. He could get their mutual friends involved, like Hermione and Ron, without Harry realizing it at first. Draco might organize small get - togethers or study sessions where Harry is slowly surrounded by positive energy and support. He also could use his influence in the Slytherin house to stop any bullying or negative rumors that might be adding to Harry's despair, creating a more positive atmosphere for Harry to heal and realize life is worth living.
Ron Weasley often makes an appearance. He might be suspicious of Draco's intentions towards Hermione and try to protect her. His loyalty to Hermione and his hot - tempered nature can add a lot of drama to the story.
The OC can be strong by having unwavering moral principles. For example, if Draco tries to bully someone, the OC stands up to him firmly, not afraid of his family name or his Slytherin cronies. Also, the OC can be highly intelligent in a different way than Draco. Maybe she's excellent at non - verbal magic or has a deep knowledge of ancient runes that Draco respects and is a bit envious of. This makes her a force to be reckoned with in their interactions.
Luna Lovegood could be an interesting pairing. She's a Ravenclaw with a very unique view of the world. Her dreamy nature could contrast with Draco's more cynical side, and perhaps she could help him see the magic in the world in a different way.
Draco might initially be shocked. He could then feel a sense of protectiveness towards Harry. Maybe he starts to see Harry in a new light, not as his rival but as someone who needs help.
