Here's one:

Actually I'm kinda liking the "Malfoid" thing.  Possibly because:

1) Ginny is such an insipid love interest.
2) Enemies-to-lovers is a reliable trope.
3) Malfoy did not get a good redemption arc in canon.  Dumbledore
   (already dying) implores Snape to kill him to spare Malfoy from
   being a killer, and we don't really ever see Draco deal with that.
