Often, there could be a plot where Hermione discovers she's pregnant during a time of some sort of turmoil in the wizarding world. Maybe there are new threats emerging, and she has to balance her pregnancy with her role in protecting the wizarding community. This can create a lot of tension and interesting character development as she tries to keep herself and her unborn child safe while still being involved in the bigger picture. And sometimes, the fanfic might explore how the pregnancy affects her magic, like if she has new or different magical abilities while pregnant.
One common plotline is the journey of Hermione and Ron (assuming she's married to Ron in the fanfic) as they prepare for the baby. It might involve them decorating the nursery, choosing baby names, and dealing with the excitement and nervousness of impending parenthood.
A lot of these fanfictions explore the relationship between Hermione and Remus during this time. Their relationship might grow stronger as they face the challenges of impending parenthood. There could be sweet moments of them preparing for the baby, like setting up a nursery with magic. Or there could be plot twists where secrets from their pasts come back to haunt them during the pregnancy, adding drama and conflict to the story.
One of the main themes is the anticipation of the new life. The fanfictions usually focus on how Hermione and Ron start to plan for their future as parents. They might discuss baby names, or how they will raise the child in the wizarding world. There's also the theme of family support. The Weasley family, especially Molly, is always there to offer advice and help. It's a way to show the strong family bonds in the wizarding world.
Friendship is a very common theme. They are often depicted as supporting each other through thick and thin, whether it's during their time at Hogwarts or in their adult lives. Another theme is female empowerment. Hermione and Ginny are strong - willed characters, and fanfictions usually show them being independent and making important decisions.
One common plotline could be that Hermione is betrayed by her friends in Hogwarts. For example, they might believe false rumors about her and turn their backs on her. Another could be a romantic betrayal, like if Ron, in a different take on the story, cheats on her or breaks her heart in some way. Sometimes, she could be betrayed by the wizarding community as a whole, perhaps being wrongly accused of dark magic and no one believing in her innocence.
There are also fanfics where Bill is initially unaware of Hermione's feelings. So, Hermione has to find ways to subtly show her interest. This can lead to some really cute and awkward moments between them, as she tries to get closer to him without being too obvious.
A common plotline could be that Charlie stumbles upon Hermione while she's researching something related to magical creatures in a remote location, perhaps in the Forbidden Forest or on a dragon reserve. They then team up to solve a mystery regarding the magical creature she was researching.
One possible plotline could be the family's reaction. The Weasley family is large and close - knit, so they would likely be very excited and supportive. There could be scenes of them preparing for the new baby, like knitting baby clothes or setting up a nursery. Another plotline might involve Audrey dealing with the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy while also managing her daily life in the wizarding world.
One common plotline could be Hermione forming a closer friendship with Fleur. Since she hates Ron, she might turn to Fleur for support and they could end up having adventures together, perhaps in the wizarding world outside of Hogwarts.
In some fanfictions, the focus could be on Hermione's child's unique abilities or challenges. Since Hermione is very intelligent, her child might inherit her smarts but also have some special magical gift that she has to figure out how to handle on her own. Maybe the child has an uncontrollable power and Hermione has to search for ways to help the child manage it without a partner to support her. It could also involve her reconnecting with old friends from Hogwarts who either support or question her decisions as a single mother.
Often, there are plotlines centered around protecting Hermione. Since werewolves are sometimes seen as dangerous, the werewolf mate has to prove that he can keep Hermione safe, not only from the outside world but also from his own werewolf side during full moons. And there could be a plot where they work together to change the perception of werewolves in the wizarding society.
