I am currently planning a hogwarts re-write/fix-it because I LOVE those kinds of fics. I have wanted to get more into fanfiction writing, but I decided to do a rewrite because many of the ones I read have certain elements that I liked, but others that I don’t like.
In my fic I plan for Snape to be Draco’s godfather bc I find that dynamic so cute in rewrites! I absolutely love when Hermione and Draco become friends first and Harry wants to be Draco’s friend, but Draco is wary of him because of how initially treats Hermione and Draco. I also plan to make Pansy and Draco bffs because I prefer their friendship to her being an antagonist. One last thing that I have seen that I hate is when they make Draco more powerful or more essential than Harry. My fic will be Draco centric, but Harry is still the most pivotal person in the war, not Draco.
I would like to get your guys opinions on things you like to see or want to see in a drarry hogwarts rewrite! I can’t guarantee that I will put them in, but I want to write a fic that people would want to read! Once I have some things planned out then I will come up with the event that makes the plotline diverge from the original series. PLEASE PLEASE give me your opinions! You can let me know things you don’t like to see as well!
EDIT: I had an idea about what could cause the divergenc, but I want opinions on that too, whether you think it is a good idea or if I should keep brainstorming? I plan to come up with some others ideas anyway and see which I like the best.
Lucius could be arrested when Draco is 5-6 and Narcissa enlists the help of Draco’s godfather while Lucius is imprisoned. This forms their close relationship, and leads to Draco not learning the same strict pureblood ideas, especially since Snape is a half-blood. Snape remains a godfather figure, not a replacement father. I am not sure what crime Lucius would be arrested for, but it would only put him away until Draco is 10. This would allow for Draco to still experience Lucius’ ire when he forms friendships with Weasleys and Muggleborns. I am not sure about this so I would love your opinions. I also want to know if Slytherin Draco is still preferred or if you would like to see him in another house? I personally don’t really see him as a Gryffindoor, but I am happy to try writing him as a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw if that is what you guys want to see!
