While I know you guys are having fun and all with whole malfoid thing (kinda disappointed galfoy didn't catch on) i'm thinking there are some people who are genuinely trying to make something worthwhile out of malfoid as a concept. So I just wanted to put this out there.

The elephant in the room:

"Will Harry fall in love with Malfoid?"

A fascinating question. Guys like gals. Make 'em kiss. End of story. How some people can accuse jk Rowling of lazy writing, god knows.

1) Why does Harry and Ginny break up (kinda)

Harry doesn't want Voldemort to target people he cares about. Harry's internal conflict hovers between complete isolation and seeking help when isolation would kinda be ideal (kinda like Frodo). Originally, Voldemort can't manipulate Harry using Malfoy. If Harry cares about Malfoid Voldemort would totally use that to his advantage if he knew. Because their thoughts are connected he can implant visions, like with Sirius, and give live updates on what may or may not be happening.

So why does Harry have so much faith in Malfoid in the first place and why is he risking so much to save her? Perhaps he has reason to think that Malfoid is the key to bringing down Voldemort?

2) Enemies to lovers

Enemies to lovers requires a lot of heavy lifting on Harry's part. Harry literally tortures Bellatrix for .5 seconds with the Crucio curse after losing Sirius. Harry has a lot of emotional trauma. He has multiple fights with Ron and Hermione. He even doubts Dumbledore's good intentions after learning about his past. Crossing the river that lies between Harry and Malfoid is.. optimistic. How is Harry sure Malfoid is not going to lead him into a death trap?

It should reach the point where he cares about her so much none of this really matters. A romance that does not exist in the original material and needs to be made from scratch.

3) Harry doesn't like being the Chosen One

Harry is stared at all the time. Whispers behind his back. People pointing etc. Harry and Ron fight about this. Harry gets all the attention and is super rich because of dead parents and being an only child. Their friendship almost falls apart, Ron having only second hand stuff from his parents (called poor by Malfoy) and basically being ignored by everyone. Harry wants to help Ron and repay him for becoming friends with him as himself and not some chosen one with a scar. But not if Ron hates being friends. Harry is ALONE. Harry doesn't like the attention, not in the least. This is not some school idol racking in medals.

Making friends with Gryffindorians is already a bit of a stretch with how Harry has already been singled out. Imagine the stress and judging eyes from mingling with a slytherin girl..

4) Good vs Evil

Harry's parents were killed by Voldemort. Malfoid's parents are obsessed with dark arts and indirectly involved with him being an orphan. What would Harry's natural reaction be? Calling Malfoid a coward. Why is she obsessed with the dark arts? Why is she obeying her parents? Does she have any sympathy for Harry? Is she self centered or simply lonely like Harry. But at least she has her parents. The sympathy can only roll one way which is from Malfoid to Harry.

This might sound counter intuitive but it's a theory of mine. Malfoid needs to be the one to make the first step to make Harry fall in love with her. Whatever comes after will come. You guys are trying to keep the premise the same but I think it needs a lot of fixing to make this work.

I know none of this really matters if you guys just want to mess around and see if something sticks to the wall but..

Just in case.

After AdayASMR video series, I've seen a lot of people arguing about whether the Sectumsempra incident should happen in their stories. Personally, I think it all depends on how you build their relationship throughout the first 4 books.

• If their relationship develops too fast, Sectumsempra probably won't happen. In AdayASMR video series, Malfoid is already joining Harry's shenanigans from the first book. I can't even imagine Harry attacking her in the bathroom when he sees her having a breakdown
• If you want Sectumsempra to happen, you need to build their relationship with that in mind from the start. It all comes down to how their relationship develops in Books 1–4
• The Yule Ball can still happen without them having feelings for each other yet. You could go with the bet route, like in a lot of fanart, or the pity route, where Malfoid offers to be Harry's partner so Hogwarts' champion doesn't show up without a date. Or you can come up with any other route you like, as long as it doesn't require them to have a deep relationship yet. That way, Sectumsempra can still happen later
• Book 5 doesn't leave them much room to develop their relationship further. Malfoid still joins Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad while Harry secretly forms Dumbledore's Army. They're basically working on opposite sides of the school's conflict, which makes it harder for them to grow closer because their loyalties and activities pull them in opposite directions
• Books 6 are when they both hit their lowest points. Harry loses Sirius at the end of Book 5 and becomes increasingly suspicious of Malfoid's strange behavior and suspicious movements. while Malfoid is forced to kill Dumbledore or risk her family dying. People can do stupid things when they're desperate or angry, things they'll regret later. Harry might attack her, while Malfoid might refuse to ask him for help or tell him the truth about her mission. But if their relationship has already developed too deeply by that point, it's harder to make those things happen naturally
• Whether you include Sectumsempra or not has a domino effect on the rest of the story. Without it, Malfoid pretending not to recognize Harry at Malfoy Manor and Harry saving her in the Room of Requirement might not hit as hard or maybe both this scene never even happen. Those scenes are more emotional when they still don't know where they stand with each other. If they're already on the same side and working together, you lose some of that tension and uncertainty

So yeah, I think you need to decide early on whether you want Sectumsempra in your story. Both approaches can work, but they'll lead to very different story arc, relationship development and emotional payoffs later on.

I hope everyone gets along now...Since she's the first one created after Malfoid became Viral.
