One possible plot could be that they are in arranged relationships with other people, but they start to have feelings for each other secretly. And then they have to hide their attraction while being unfaithful to their partners.
Maybe in a world where the wizarding society has different rules. Draco and Hermione are forced into different political alliances through marriages. But they find themselves drawn to each other and start an affair behind their spouses' backs. This could involve a lot of sneaking around, secret meetings, and internal conflict as they struggle with their loyalty to their families and their new - found feelings.
A plot could be that they are both in long - term relationships with others. Draco might be in a relationship with a pure - blood witch for the sake of his family's reputation, and Hermione could be with a Gryffindor. But they cross paths in a situation, like working on a project together, and their old animosity turns into an unexpected attraction. They then start cheating on their partners, which leads to a series of events including guilt, discovery attempts by their partners, and a lot of drama within the wizarding community.
In some fanfictions, the story could be that Hermione was caught cheating on an exam because she discovered a flaw in the test - something that the teachers didn't expect anyone to find. So when she used her knowledge to bypass what she saw as an unfair part of the test, the teachers thought she was cheating. There could also be a plot where a new teacher who doesn't understand Hermione's brilliance misinterprets her work as cheating when she's actually just far ahead of the curriculum.
One possible reason could be peer pressure. Maybe the other Slytherins in the fanfiction are pressuring him to cheat in order to maintain the house's reputation for being cunning and getting ahead at all costs. Another reason might be his own insecurities. He could feel that he's not smart enough or good enough compared to his classmates, so he resorts to cheating as a way to seem more competent.
One popular one might be 'Broken Promises' where Draco's actions of cheating are explored in a complex way within the Hogwarts setting. It delves into Hermione's reaction and how it affects their relationships with friends. However, fanfiction can vary greatly in quality and interpretation.
Well, there might be some. But I don't really encourage the idea of cheating in fanfictions as it goes against the positive values we usually expect. However, you can try searching on some major fanfiction websites like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. Just be aware that not all content may be of high quality.
Well, a plot could involve the discovery of the betrothal by their friends and the chaos that ensues. Harry and Ron might be outraged and try to break it off. Meanwhile, Hermione and Draco could be forced to work together to understand the origins of the betrothal, which could lead to uncovering some long - lost wizarding secrets. There could also be a plot where Draco's family has ulterior motives for the betrothal and Hermione has to figure out how to protect herself and her future without ruining the relationship that is slowly developing between her and Draco.
One possible motive could be jealousy. Hermione is highly intelligent and often outshines Draco in academics. In a twisted version of a rivalry, Draco's envy could turn into a deadly hatred. Another could be his family's influence. If the Malfoys push him to take extreme actions against Muggle - borns, Hermione would be a prime target.
In the fanfiction, it could be related to family values. Draco comes from a family with certain beliefs about blood purity. Hermione being a Muggle - born might be seen as beneath him by his family's standards. So, Draco might abuse Hermione as a way to show his superiority based on those wrong family - instilled ideas.
One plotline could be that they are magically bound to the apartment and can't leave until they resolve some deep - seated issues between them. Maybe there's a spell that requires them to get along and understand each other's perspectives.
One possible plot is that Draco Malfoy discovers he has a non - pureblood ancestor through some ancient family records. This shatters his view of his family's pureblood lineage. He then struggles with whether to keep this a secret or reveal it, fearing the reaction from his family and the pureblood society at Hogwarts.
One possible plot could be a moment of unexpected vulnerability for Voldemort. Maybe Draco, in a moment of courage or desperation, hugs Voldemort to show him a different side of humanity, which then makes Voldemort question his own actions.
