Along the way, she also has to deal with her studies at Hogwarts and her relationships with her friends like Harry and Ron.
One interesting 'Harry Merlin heir' fanfiction could be where Harry discovers he has a hidden connection to Merlin's lineage and has to learn ancient magic. This often leads to him facing new and unexpected challenges in the wizarding world.
Dumbledore might also be an important character. He is very knowledgeable about the history of magic and could have some insights into Hermione's connection to Merlin. He might support Hermione in her new role, or he could be a bit skeptical at first, but eventually come around. Additionally, characters from other magical schools or creatures from the wizarding world could also play significant roles in the story, adding more depth and variety to the plot.

A possible plot point is the reaction of the wizarding world to Harry being the heir of Merlin. Some might see him as a savior, someone who can bring about a new golden age of magic. Others, out of jealousy or fear of change, could try to undermine him. His friends, like Hermione and Ron, would likely support him but might also be in awe of his new status. And there could be a search for more knowledge about Merlin's legacy, which could take Harry on adventures to long - forgotten places in the wizarding world.

He has learned a lot in Camelot, but there are still secrets about his powers and the old magic that he can't uncover there.

Their love is written as something that is destined, and no matter how much the world tries to keep them apart, they keep being drawn back to each other. Another interesting plot is that Morgana has a premonition of their love and future together, and this changes her attitude towards Merlin from the start. She then tries to find ways to make their relationship work despite all the odds in Camelot. And there are also fanfictions where they meet in secret and have a secret relationship, with all the tension and excitement that comes with hiding their love from the people around them.
Well, a cool plotline might be the conflict it creates within the wizarding world. Since Merlin and Morgana have such complex and often opposing legacies in the lore. Harry, as their heir, could be caught in the middle of different factions. One side might see him as a great hope for a new era of magic, while the other could view him as a threat to the existing power balance. Also, his relationship with the Ministry of Magic could change drastically as they try to either control or use his newfound connection to Merlin and Morgana.
