Another plotline could be that Draco is cursed and the only way to break the curse is for him to be in a magically enhanced shower with Hermione. Hermione, being the kind - hearted person she is, agrees to help. At first, they are both uncomfortable, but as the magic starts to work, they start to understand each other better. Draco reveals his insecurities about his family's past actions, and Hermione shares her struggles of being a Muggle - born in a sometimes prejudiced wizarding world.
In some fanfictions, it might be a situation where they are forced to work together in a bathroom renovation project at Hogwarts. They enter the shower area to check on the new magical plumbing. There, they discover a hidden magical artifact. This discovery makes them realize they need to rely on each other's skills, Hermione's book knowledge and Draco's knowledge of dark artifacts. As they search for more information about the artifact in the shower area, their relationship begins to change.
Some fanfictions might have a plotline where Draco and Hermione are secretly dating and they communicate through enchanted objects. Since they can't be seen together often, they use magic to send messages or small gifts to each other. This adds an element of mystery and secrecy to their relationship. Another idea could be that they meet in a hidden part of Hogwarts, like an old abandoned classroom or a secret passageway. Here, they can be themselves and share their feelings without the fear of being discovered. There could also be a plotline where they help each other overcome personal issues. For example, Draco helps Hermione deal with the pressure of being the best in her class, and Hermione helps Draco break free from his family's expectations.
One interesting plotline could be them working together to solve a mystery within Hogwarts that the regular faculty can't handle. They combine their unique skills - Harry's courage and leadership, Hermione's intelligence and Draco's knowledge of the Slytherin side of things. For example, they might be on a quest to find a hidden magical artifact that has been causing strange occurrences in the school. This forces them to put aside their differences and really function as a pack.
One interesting plotline could be their struggle to overcome the prejudices of their respective Houses. Since Draco is from Slytherin and Hermione from Gryffindor, their marriage would shock many at Hogwarts. They might face opposition from their old friends and families. Another plotline could be them working together to improve the relations between Muggle - borns and pure - bloods. Draco, with his pure - blood background, and Hermione, as a strong advocate for Muggle - born rights, could make a powerful team in the wizarding world's fight against blood - based discrimination.
A common plotline is that they discover they have a shared interest in a particular area of magic that is not well - known or accepted in the wizarding world. This brings them together as they explore it in secret. They might face opposition from their friends and families, especially since Hermione is a Gryffindor and Draco is a Slytherin. But their bond as soulmates helps them overcome these obstacles.
Some fanfics might explore the idea of Hermione and Draco having to hide the pregnancy. Given their status in the wizarding world, it could cause a huge scandal. They might have to go into hiding, perhaps in a remote location. During this time, they learn more about each other's true selves. Draco could show his more vulnerable side, and Hermione could see that there's more to him than just the bully he was in school. And as the pregnancy progresses, they build a new life together away from the prying eyes of the wizarding community, preparing for the arrival of their child while also dealing with their own personal growth.
One possible plotline could be Draco and Hermione being forced to work together on a difficult school project. Despite their initial animosity, they gradually come to respect each other's intelligence and skills. Another could be a situation where they are both in danger and have to rely on each other for survival. This forces them to set aside their differences. And a third could be a magical accident that causes them to swap personalities or abilities, leading to some humorous and also relationship - building moments.
Well, perhaps there's a plot where they are both entered into a magical tournament against their will. In the process of competing, they realize they have more in common than they thought. For example, they both have a strong desire to prove themselves. This shared feeling makes them bond and slowly become friends, or even more, in the fanfiction world.
One interesting plotline could be that Draco and Hermione are forced to work together in a cancer research project at Hogwarts. They start off hating each other as always, but as they see the effects of cancer on patients, they gradually put aside their differences. Hermione's vast knowledge of magic and Draco's family's connections to certain potions ingredients could lead to them making a significant discovery in the fight against cancer in the wizarding world.
One interesting plotline could be Hermione trying to cure a werewolf - affected Draco. Maybe she discovers a new spell or potion that can ease his lycanthropy symptoms. It could lead to a lot of tense moments as they have to trust each other despite their past differences.
Perhaps a plot where they all become animagi and have to use their animal forms to solve a mystery in the Forbidden Forest. Draco as a sleek snake, Harry as a stag, and Hermione as an otter, they must navigate the forest's dangers and uncover the truth about a strange magical disturbance.
