One interesting plot is where Hermione uses her new position in Slytherin to reform the house from within. She starts by challenging the more discriminatory and dark - sided traditions. She teams up with some of the more open - minded Slytherins to change the house's image. Another plot could be that she discovers a hidden part of Slytherin's history that has been suppressed, and she uses her intelligence to bring it to light, which causes a stir both within Slytherin and across the whole Hogwarts. There's also the plot where Hermione's sorting into Slytherin makes her a target for some of the more malicious Slytherins at first, but she gradually wins them over with her knowledge and determination.
Well, it changes the story in many ways. For one, Hermione's presence in Slytherin would cause a stir among the Slytherins themselves. She's known for her intelligence and strong - willed nature, which could either be seen as a threat or an opportunity for them. In the original story, Slytherin is often portrayed as the 'evil' house, but with Hermione there, she might start to change the perception of Slytherin from within. She could also form unexpected alliances with some of the Slytherins who are perhaps not as fully on board with the more negative aspects of the house's reputation. This would completely shift the dynamics between the houses, as Gryffindor would lose one of its most prominent members and Slytherin would gain a very different kind of student than they're used to.
In fanfiction where Harry is resorted into Slytherin, he might face a whole new set of challenges. He could be ostracized by his Gryffindor friends at first. However, he might also find some unexpected allies in Slytherin. For example, he could befriend some of the more open - minded Slytherins who see his potential and value his skills. This new sorting could also lead to a different dynamic with Draco Malfoy. Instead of being rivals, they might become begrudging comrades or at least have a more complex relationship.
There could also be a plot where Hermione discovers a long - lost Slytherin secret. It might be a powerful spell or a hidden chamber that only a Slytherin with her unique combination of knowledge and determination can unlock. This discovery then changes the way Slytherin is perceived in the wizarding community.
Another plot could be Hermione trying to reform the Slytherin House from within. She might introduce new study groups or a more inclusive attitude towards non - pure - blood students. This would likely face a lot of resistance from some of the more traditional Slytherin families, but Hermione, with her determination, could start to make small but significant changes.
One good plot twist could be that Hermione's intelligence is initially shunned in Slytherin. They value cunning more, but she uses her smarts to re - define what cunning means in the house. For example, she could outwit Draco in a series of challenges related to potions, using her book - learned knowledge in a sly way that Draco didn't expect.
Another development could be her relationship with the other houses changing. The Gryffindors might initially be suspicious of her new Slytherin status. However, Hermione could use this as an opportunity to bridge the gap between the two houses. She could show that just because she's in Slytherin doesn't mean she's abandoned her Gryffindor courage and loyalty.
At first, their relationship might be full of tension. Draco is used to the pure - blood ideology of Slytherin and Hermione is a Muggle - born. But as they spend more time together, they start to see each other's good sides. For instance, Draco might notice Hermione's determination and loyalty, which are also Slytherin traits in a way.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Hermione gets even with those who underestimated her. She could expose their wrongdoings or secrets, using her skills in research and deduction. For example, if someone tried to take credit for her work, she'd find a way to prove it was hers and make them look foolish in the process.
One possible plotline could be Harry having to deal with the prejudices within Slytherin. He might struggle to fit in at first because of the house's reputation for dark magic, but then gradually find some true friends who see him for who he is.
One possible plotline could be Harry being resorted into a different house and falling in love with a character from that new house. For example, if he gets resorted into Hufflepuff, he might start a romance with a kind - hearted Hufflepuff girl who helps him see the house in a new light.
