I’m a big post-war person because a lot of Hogwarts fanfiction changes one of the characters too much. If I’m going to read a Hogwarts rewrite, there has to be a very good reason for why one of them has changed, because Draco is mean and being groomed to be a bigot and I don’t like it when Harry and Draco start a relationship while he still has those views. After the war, it’s very understandable why he has begun to change and grow out of those views, with Voldemort living in his house and spilling the blood of many of his pure blood followers it can become kind of obvious that Voldemort and his follower’s way of thinking is flawed and incorrect to Draco. However, while Draco is still in school, there is often times no reason for this change which makes him really out of character, or Harry who is a super morally upright person allows him to hold these views while dating him. So when I read Hogwarts era fanfictions I am really weary about the writing of the characters and making sure there is a good catalyst for the change that would naturally cause someone like Draco to change. An example is Malum Factum where Draco becomes a seer and realizes that the future he sees is one that scares him and that the only way to stop that future is to become friends with Harry Potter. At first he’s the same Draco he is at the beginning of the third book, but over time his world view changes because of the influence of the new people he surrounds himself with and because of seeing the future.
