In this fanfiction, the main villain could also be a time - manipulating creature. It has the ability to slow down Hermione's perception of time, so that when she thinks she has enough time to do something, in reality it's already too late. This creature could be working for a more powerful dark force that wants to disrupt the wizarding world's balance.
It could be a dark wizard who has been secretly plotting against Hermione all along. This wizard might be jealous of her intelligence and magical abilities. He or she could have set up a series of traps and illusions that cause Hermione to waste time, making it too late for her to achieve her goals.
It might be a love - related plot. Suppose Hermione has feelings for Ron, but she's been too shy or too preoccupied with her studies to act on them. Then, when she finally decides to confess, it's too late. Ron has already started seeing someone else. In the fanfiction, it could explore her heartbreak and how she copes with this situation.
Well, it could be about a situation where Hermione is facing some sort of dilemma or a difficult situation that she realizes is 'too late' to change. Maybe it's about her missing an opportunity in her magical studies, or perhaps in a relationship. For example, she might have been too late to save a friendship that was falling apart due to a misunderstanding.
A new, made - up villain could be introduced. For example, a powerful dark wizard who has been in hiding for years and now sees Harry and Hermione as a threat to his plans. He could be after a particular magical power that Harry and Hermione unknowingly possess. He uses his dark magic to create all sorts of obstacles for them during their 5th year, from cursing their friends to setting up traps in Hogwarts.
You can start by looking on major fanfiction websites like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own (AO3). Just type in 'Hermione It's Too Late' in the search bar, and it should show any relevant stories. However, keep in mind that the availability might vary depending on the popularity of the fic.
Voldemort could still be the main villain even if they go back in time. His presence has always been a big threat in the wizarding world. He might be in his earlier stages of rising to power, and Harry and Hermione could try to stop him before he becomes too strong.
I don't know the exact main characters. However, they might be a couple who have been married for a long time. Maybe one of them is a career - driven person and the other is more focused on family, and their differences have led to a situation where they think it's too late to split up. There could also be secondary characters like friends or family members who influence their decision - making regarding the so - called 'too - late - to - divorce' situation.
Since I haven't read this novel, I can't say for sure who the main characters are.
It could be a new dark wizard. Maybe a jealous former Hogwarts student who felt overshadowed by Dumbledore and now sees baby Harry and Hermione as threats to his future plans. He might want to use their power for himself or just eliminate them to make sure he can rise to power unopposed.
