There's also 'Protecting the Brightest Witch'. This fanfiction delves into how Draco, who has always been seen as a bit of a bully, becomes over - protective of Hermione. It's set during their Hogwarts years and shows how they start to see each other in a new light. There are some intense scenes where Draco steps in to keep Hermione safe from various threats.
I really like 'The Unlikely Pairing'. Here, Draco's over - protective nature towards Hermione is a result of his growing feelings for her. It has some really sweet moments where he defends her against the prejudice of others in the wizarding community. The author does a great job of showing the development of their relationship from enemies to something more.
One great 'Over Protective Draco Hermione' fanfiction is 'A Different Sort of Bond'. In it, Draco's over - protectiveness of Hermione stems from their shared experiences in the wizarding world's turmoil. It shows how their relationship evolves in a really interesting way.
I also like 'Draco's Redemption' where Draco starts to protect Hermione from various threats in the post - war wizarding world. The author does a wonderful job of showing Draco's growth and how his feelings for Hermione change from animosity to protectiveness. It has some really heart - warming scenes between them.
Well, it's the contrast. Draco was initially Hermione's enemy, so seeing him be over - protective of her is a big shift. It's like a complete role reversal. People like seeing the bad boy turn into a protector, and Hermione, being the strong - willed witch she is, still has her own agency while Draco is being protective. It makes for an interesting dynamic.
One great place to find such fanfics is on Archive of Our Own (AO3). Just search for 'Draco protective of Hermione' in the search bar, and you'll get a whole list of fics. Some popular ones often have detailed character development where Draco's protective nature towards Hermione unfolds in different scenarios, like in a post - war Hogwarts setting or during a dangerous adventure outside the school.
It's popular because it offers a different perspective on their relationship. In the original series, they are sort of enemies. But in fanfiction, seeing Draco be protective of Hermione gives a sense of novelty. People like to explore the idea of characters changing and growing in unexpected ways.
One great example is 'The Protector's Pledge'. In this fanfiction, Draco finds himself drawn to protect Hermione from the dark forces at Hogwarts. It shows how their relationship evolves from animosity to a deep bond. Another is 'Shielding Hermione' where Draco defies his family's expectations to keep Hermione safe during a dangerous time in the wizarding world.
One example could be a fanfiction where Draco stands up for Hermione when other Slytherins are taunting her about her Muggle - born status. He might use his influence as a pure - blood Slytherin to make them stop. Another instance could be in a dangerous situation, like when there's a dark wizard threat in Hogwarts. Draco secretly helps Hermione by warning her or providing her with information to keep her safe.
A really good one is 'Bending the Light'. It has a unique take on how Draco and Hermione could get together. The story has a great flow and the author does a wonderful job of writing their dialogues, making them feel very in - character. It's a great read for those who like to see different interpretations of their relationship.

It explores how they must overcome prejudices within the wizarding world. Another interesting one is 'The Hidden Bond'. Here, the author delves deep into the magical bond that forms between them despite their differences, which is both a curse and a blessing in the context of Draco being a werewolf.
A third good fanfic is 'Manacled'. This one is quite dark and intense. It shows a different side of both characters as they are in a difficult situation. The story is very engaging and the relationship that forms between Draco and Hermione is complex and multi - layered.
Another scenario is during dangerous magical experiments or when they are exploring old, dangerous parts of Hogwarts. Draco, being more familiar with the darker aspects of magic in some cases, will be protective of Hermione who is always eager to learn and might not fully grasp the risks. In these fanfictions, he'll stop her from doing something too risky or help her out when things go wrong.
