One way this could develop is that Hermione's sacrifice could be a turning point in Draco's character. He might have been on a dark path before, but her selfless act makes him question his beliefs and actions. He could then start to work towards redemption, perhaps trying to fight against the dark forces in honor of Hermione.
Well, in this fanfiction scenario, Hermione's sacrifice might lead to some sort of magical consequence. For example, it could create a powerful protection spell around Draco. And Draco, being the recipient of such a great sacrifice, might feel an overwhelming sense of guilt and obligation. This could drive him to do things like trying to bring Hermione back through some dangerous and complex magic, which in turn could lead to a whole new adventure.
In the context of this fanfiction, Hermione sacrificing herself for Draco could also have a big impact on the wizarding community. People might initially be shocked and confused as Hermione was a well - known and respected figure. Draco, on the other hand, would be at the center of attention, some hating him for being the reason Hermione sacrificed herself, while others might see the potential for change in him. As for the story, Draco could struggle with his new - found position in the community and his own feelings of remorse and gratitude towards Hermione, and this internal conflict could be a major part of the plot.
For Draco, the emotional impact would be huge. He'd likely be filled with guilt, as Hermione sacrificed her life for him. He might also feel a sense of unworthiness, wondering why she would do such a thing for him. There would be a great deal of confusion as well, since they were not exactly on the same side before.
One way this could develop is that Voldemort sees an opportunity to use Hermione's intelligence for his own gain through this union. He might think that by having Draco marry Hermione, he can control the magical knowledge she has. Draco, on the other hand, might initially resist as he has his own pure - blood ideals. But under Voldemort's pressure, he could be forced into it. Hermione would surely fight against it, using her wits and the support of her friends like Harry and Ron to find a way out of this strange and unwanted situation.
For Harry, it would be devastating. Hermione has been his rock, his intellectual equal. Without her, he would feel lost and incomplete. He might become more reckless in his fight against evil, as he no longer has her to rein him in.
In some fanfictions, a heartbreaking scene could be when Hermione says her final goodbyes to Harry and Ron. She might give them her most precious possessions, like her beaded bag filled with all their survival essentials, with a sad smile on her face as she tells them how much they mean to her.
One interpretation could be that it shows Hermione's selfless nature. She might sacrifice herself to protect Ginny from a great evil, like a powerful dark wizard. This act could also symbolize the deep bond of friendship between them, going beyond normal loyalty.
At first, their relationship would be full of hostility. Hermione would be furious at being kidnapped, and Draco would be his usual haughty self. But as time passes, they might start to see different sides of each other. Draco could see Hermione's intelligence and courage up close, and Hermione might realize that Draco isn't just a one - dimensional bully.
In such a fanfiction, one possible plot could be that Ruby sacrifices herself to save her friends from a powerful and evil enemy. Maybe she uses her Silver - eyed Warrior powers to their fullest extent, which drains her life force but stops the enemy from harming her team. Her sacrifice could then inspire her friends to carry on her legacy and fight even harder against the forces of evil.
One way it could develop is through Draco getting involved in a dark magic plot gone wrong. Maybe he was forced to participate by the Death Eaters in his family, and when things got out of hand, the wizarding world decided on a death sentence for him. In some fanfictions, the political climate in the wizarding world might be so strict that any association with dark magic at that level is seen as unpardonable.
Draco might start to show his more caring side. For example, he could become very protective of Hermione during her pregnancy, which is a big change from his former Slytherin coldness.
Well, it could be that Draco is forced to follow the Death Eater path while Hermione is fighting against them. But then, they might get thrown into some situations together, like being trapped in a place. Draco realizes that Hermione is not just a Mudblood in the sense that he was taught, and they start to form an unlikely bond. Their relationship could be full of tension, with Hermione constantly trying to convert Draco or at least make him see the wrong in what he's doing, and Draco struggling between his loyalty to his family's Death Eater ideals and his growing feelings for Hermione.
