It can also affect the overall tone of the fanfiction. If Hermione runs away in a moment of fear or anger, it can add a sense of drama and urgency. The story could shift from a more light - hearted or romantic tone (if it was that before) to a darker, more angst - filled one. Readers will be on the edge of their seats waiting to see if the situation can be resolved and how.
The storyline might then take different directions. For example, Hermione running away could lead her to new adventures on her own. She could discover new magical abilities or meet new characters who will help her grow. Meanwhile, Draco might have his own character development as he reflects on why Hermione left. He could either become a better person trying to win her back or turn even more bitter. Overall, it can greatly diversify the plot.
One possible reason could be a conflict of values. Hermione is a strong advocate for justice and equality among wizards and non - wizards alike. Draco, on the other hand, was brought up in a family with pure - blood supremacist views. Hermione might run away from Draco in a fanfiction if she realizes that his views are unchangeable and they are fundamentally opposed to her own. For example, if Draco makes a derogatory comment about Muggle - borns in front of her, it could be the last straw and she decides to run away.
At first, their relationship would be very tense. They have a long history of animosity from their Hogwarts days. But as they run away and are forced to rely on each other, they start to see each other in a new light. Draco might start to admire Hermione's intelligence and determination, while Hermione could come to understand the pressures Draco faced from his family. This new - found understanding could lead to a cautious friendship, which gradually turns into something more romantic as they share more personal stories and experiences.
It can completely change the dynamic. For one, it might lead to a new setting. Instead of the familiar Hogwarts corridors, the story could shift to different magical locations where Hermione is now exploring. This can introduce new characters and magical creatures.
In fanfiction, when Draco refuses the Dark Mark, it completely alters his relationship with his father, Lucius. Lucius, being a devout Death Eater, would be furious and might even try to force Draco into it. This family drama would add a lot of depth to the story. Also, Draco's refusal could have a ripple effect on Hogwarts. Slytherin house would be divided, with some students seeing Draco as a traitor and others respecting his choice. This could lead to some interesting power struggles within the house, and potentially new friendships and rivalries across different houses.
Draco's character could develop from a somewhat arrogant and prejudiced boy to a more empathetic and self - aware person. Being with Hermione, who constantly challenges him intellectually and morally, would force him to grow. Hermione would also develop in terms of her relationships. She would learn to trust someone from a different background and perhaps become more rebellious against the norms of the wizarding society that have been holding her back in some ways.
One possible plot could be that they run away to escape the ongoing wizarding war. They find a secluded place, perhaps a hidden cottage in the Forbidden Forest. There, they start to understand each other better without the influence of their respective houses' prejudices. They might discover new magic together and form a bond that is deeper than friendship.
It can make Hermione seem more rebellious. In canon, she's with Ron, so in this fanfiction scenario, her leaving Ron for Draco shows that she's willing to break away from the expected and follow her own heart, even if it means going against her friends' expectations.
Well, if Hermione was Draco's sibling in fanfiction, it would completely turn the original story on its head. For one, the whole Gryffindor - Slytherin rivalry would be so different. Hermione, with her strong moral compass and love for learning, being related to Draco, who was brought up in a very different pure - blood - centric environment. It would mean that Hermione might have had a different upbringing herself, perhaps being more exposed to the wizarding world's pure - blood politics from an early age. This could lead to her having different relationships with characters like Harry and Ron. She might have been able to bridge the gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin more effectively, and it could have changed the way the fight against Voldemort was carried out, as she could have used her connection to the Malfoy family to gain more information or sway certain Slytherins to the side of good.
It completely changes the story. For one, Harry and Ron would be lost without Hermione's intelligence and quick thinking. They would have to find new ways to solve problems in Hogwarts, like dealing with the Chamber of Secrets mystery. Also, it might make Hogwarts more vulnerable as Hermione was always good at protecting the school with her spells and knowledge.
His injury might bring out new character traits. For example, Draco could become more vulnerable and show a side of himself that he usually hides. This could affect how other characters view him and interact with him. In the storyline, it could also lead to investigations. If his injury was caused by foul play, there would be an effort to find out who was responsible. This could create a whole new sub - plot in the fanfiction.
