One idea could be exploring Lucius's relationship with other characters in more depth. For example, how he interacts with his family members outside of the main game events. Another could be a 'what if' scenario, like what if Lucius had different powers or abilities.
A plot idea could be to set the fanfiction in a different time period within the game's universe. Maybe Lucius as a child before the events of the game started. You could also focus on his psychological state and how it develops over time as he does his deeds. It could be interesting to see his internal struggles.
One idea could be a plot where Hermione, through some magical accident, is transported to a time when Lucius was young and they meet under different circumstances. Maybe she has to work with him to solve a mystery that could save the wizarding world in that era. This would force them to put aside their initial differences and form an unlikely bond.
Perhaps in a post - war scenario, Hermione is working on reforming the wizarding laws. Lucius, who has lost much of his power and status, is begrudgingly involved in the process. Through a series of debates and interactions, they develop an unexpected connection that challenges their long - held beliefs about each other.
One idea could be that Harry and Lucius are forced to work together on a secret mission for the wizarding world. Along the way, they start to see each other in a new light and gradually form a bond. Another could be that they are both victims of a dark magic spell that makes them share emotions, leading to an unexpected connection. Maybe they discover a long - lost prophecy that ties their fates together and they must figure out how to fulfill it while dealing with their initial animosity.
Perhaps in an alternate universe where the pure - blood and Muggle - born tensions are resolved differently. Lucius, being a prominent pure - blood, and Hermione, a brilliant Muggle - born, are forced to marry for political reasons. At first, they dislike each other but as they get to know one another better, they fall in love and decide to start a family. The story could focus on how they navigate their different worlds while raising their baby.
Another plot could involve the daughter discovering a long - hidden secret about her parents' relationship. Maybe there was a prophecy that led to their union, and she has to figure out how to deal with the implications of this discovery. She could be hunted by dark forces who want to use her for their own gain because of her unique heritage.
One idea could be that Hermione travels back in time and accidentally gets involved with Lucius in his Hogwarts days. Maybe she has to work with him to prevent a dark magic event that would have far - reaching consequences in the future. This could lead to a strange alliance where they start to see each other in a different light.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, they are all entered into a magical tournament. Harry, being the young and brave one, Snape with his vast knowledge of magic, and Lucius with his family's resources. At first, they are rivals in the tournament but then realize that there is an outside force trying to manipulate the outcome for evil purposes. So they join forces. Or it could be that a powerful dark magic spell has been cast over Hogwarts, and only the combined magic of Harry, Snape and Lucius can break it. They start off distrustful but as they work together, they form an unlikely alliance.
One plot idea could be that Lucius is forced to work with Hermione on a secret magical project for the Ministry. At first, they are at odds due to their different backgrounds and beliefs. But as they face various challenges together, they gradually come to understand each other. For example, they might have to deal with a powerful dark magic artifact that is causing chaos. Another idea is that in an alternate universe, Hermione is a spy in the Malfoy household and she has to pretend to befriend Lucius while secretly gathering information. This could lead to some tense and interesting interactions as Lucius is a shrewd character and Hermione has to be very careful not to be discovered.
A plot could be centered around Draco's struggle to live up to his father's expectations. Lucius has always been this powerful figure in the wizarding world, and Draco feels the pressure. But as Draco grows, he starts to develop his own ideas and values that conflict with his father's. This could lead to a series of arguments and a journey of self - discovery for both of them. Another interesting angle could be a story set during the holidays where they have to spend time together away from the usual Death Eater business and really get to know each other on a more personal level. Maybe they find out they have more in common than they thought or that their differences are more pronounced.
One idea could be exploring Lucius' overprotective side towards Draco. Maybe Draco wants to break free from his father's strict control and expectations. For example, Draco could be interested in Muggle studies, which Lucius strongly opposes.
