Well, in many 'Harry and Draco friends' fanfictions, the relationship is completely transformed. For example, in 'Draco's Redemption and Friendship'. The fanfiction might have them team up against a common threat that was overlooked in the original story. This new situation forces them to rely on each other, breaking down the walls of their old animosity. They start to communicate openly and share their fears and hopes, which was unthinkable in the original relationship.
In these fanfictions, the main change is the shift from enmity to friendship. In the original story, they are rivals. But in fanfictions like 'The Changing Tides', they start to understand each other better. Harry sees that Draco is not just a bully but a product of his family's expectations, and Draco realizes Harry's true courage and kindness.
In these fanfictions, Harry may develop a more diplomatic side to his personality. Since Draco is from Slytherin and has a different way of thinking, Harry has to learn to negotiate and find middle ground. For Draco, his friendship with Harry can make him more empathetic. He might start to care about the well - being of others outside of his Slytherin clique, like the Gryffindors and other Hogwarts students, which is a big change from his initial self - centered attitude.
Well, in these fanfictions, they go from being rivals to soulmates. Instead of the constant bickering and animosity, there's a newfound understanding. They start to see the good in each other that was hidden before.
It often changes for the better. After Harry apologizes, Draco might be initially skeptical. But as they start to interact more, they could become friends or at least develop a mutual respect. For instance, they might start sharing their experiences during the war, which helps them understand each other better.
The relationship would be drastically different. Harry, who has always seen Snape as a rather unlikable figure, would start to see him in a new light. He might come to respect Snape as a father figure. Draco, who has some connection to Snape through his family, would now have a more personal and perhaps more positive relationship with Snape. Snape himself would have to soften his usual harsh demeanor towards Harry. And between Harry and Draco, they would be forced to get along better as they are now under the same roof. They might start to understand each other's insecurities and backgrounds more.
At first, it would become more strained. Harry would likely be angry and hurt by Draco's actions that made him cry, so he might avoid Draco even more than before. He might also be more on guard around Draco, not trusting him at all.
The act of Draco throwing the wand could be a turning point. It might create a bond between them that was previously unimaginable. They could start to rely on each other more, and this new dynamic could be crucial in facing the challenges in the fanfiction. For example, they might work together to defeat a powerful dark force that neither could face alone.
Harry might become more relaxed around Draco. He's used to being on guard against Draco's taunts, but as friends, he lets his guard down. He may start to show his more humorous side and not be so serious all the time. For Draco, he could become less arrogant. He realizes that Harry isn't just the 'Chosen One' to be hated but a real person with his own struggles. He might start to be more empathetic, which is a big change from his usual self - centered attitude.
Well, it would likely make their relationship much more complex. Instead of the typical rivalry, there could be a sense of family obligation. Draco might feel protective of 'her' in a different way than he would a male Harry. He might be torn between his family's views and this new connection to Harry.
They would probably become like brothers. With Snape as their common father figure, they would have to learn to get along. Harry might be more forgiving of Draco's past actions, and Draco would have to let go of his animosity towards Harry.
These fanfictions usually change their relationship by exploring their past traumas and how they can heal together. Hermione and Draco both have had difficult experiences during the war. In some stories, they share these experiences and find a connection in their pain. This connection then evolves into a deeper understanding. Also, the fanfictions might put them in new social or magical situations where they have to rely on each other, which breaks down the barriers between them. For instance, if they are in a magical realm where only they can help each other survive, they will have to put aside their differences and start to trust each other. This trust then becomes the foundation for a new relationship.
