Hermione might also develop a different perspective on power. When bound, she is in a powerless state. This could make her re - evaluate how power is used in the wizarding world, and she could become more empathetic towards those who are oppressed. In addition, she may become more creative in her problem - solving skills, as the usual magical solutions might not be available to her while bound.
One possible fanfiction could be 'Hermione's Ordeal in the Shackled Prison'. It might explore Hermione's struggle and her attempts to break free from the shackles, both literally and metaphorically, within the prison setting. It could involve her using her intelligence to outwit the prison guards or find a way to escape the unjust confinement.
Well, perhaps it's a situation where Hermione is bound by shackles in an alternate universe. In this universe, magic works differently, and the shackles are enchanted with a spell that suppresses her magic. She has to rely on her wits and non - magical skills to find a way to break free. It could also be a plot where she is bound as a form of unjust punishment in a corrupt magical society, and she becomes a symbol of resistance.
Perhaps the prison is a place where they imprison those with too much knowledge. Hermione, being one of the brightest witches, is seen as a threat. The shackles are designed to limit her access to her own thoughts. As she endures this, she starts to have visions that guide her to a hidden key, both literally and figuratively, that will free her from the shackles and the prison.
In this type of fanfiction, Hermione would likely experience a great deal of internal conflict. On one hand, she has her own moral compass which is firmly against Voldemort's ideology. On the other hand, she's in his care. This could lead to her developing a stronger will and a more nuanced understanding of good and evil. Voldemort could develop a strange sort of affection for Hermione, which would be a new aspect to his character. He might be more protective of her than his other followers. And for the other Hogwarts students, they would view Hermione with a mix of fear and confusion. Some might try to rescue her, while others would be too afraid to get involved.
One possible plot development could be that Hermione manages to use her wits even in this dire situation. For example, she might use non - verbal magic to send a signal for help. Another could be that Bellatrix is using Hermione as bait to lure Harry or Ron into a trap. Maybe Bellatrix is trying to extract information from Hermione about the Order of the Phoenix.
She could develop a more assertive personality. As a tomboy, she might become more outspoken and not be afraid to voice her opinions, even if they go against the norm. For instance, she could challenge the old - fashioned views of some of the Hogwarts professors regarding gender roles in magic.
For Hermione, she might develop a more empathetic side towards Snape. She could start to understand his past traumas and the reasons behind his cold exterior. This could make her less judgmental and more open - minded. As for Snape, he could soften up. With Hermione's influence, he might show his more vulnerable side and let go of some of his grudges, especially towards the students he disliked at Hogwarts.
They could symbolize the limitations Draco has in his relationships. For instance, he might be in a situation where he is 'bound' by his pure - blood status in a relationship with someone of a different status. Shackles can also be seen as a physical manifestation of the emotional and mental chains that hold him back from truly being himself.
They are often described in a very vivid and tactile way. Writers might say things like 'the cold, heavy shackles bit into Draco's wrists'. This gives the reader a sense of the physical discomfort and the inescapable nature of the situation he is in.
Perhaps Draco is bound in shackles in prison because he tried to protect someone. The fanfiction could focus on his internal struggle, how he copes with the confinement and the loss of his freedom. He could also have flashbacks to his past life outside the prison, which contrast with his current harsh reality, and this could drive his determination to escape.
