In this fanfiction, Hermione could be acting out of a sense of justice gone wrong. Maybe she believes Draco has been getting away with too much for too long. So she carefully constructs a plan. She might plant false evidence in his possession, like a Dark Arts item. Then she tips off the Aurors. When they investigate, they find the planted evidence and Draco is wrongly accused and sent to Azkaban. This would then lead to a whole chain of events as Draco tries to prove his innocence and Hermione may start to have second thoughts about her actions.
Well, perhaps Hermione discovers some dark secret of Draco's that she can use as evidence to frame him for a crime, leading to his incarceration in Azkaban. Maybe it has something to do with his family's past actions that she twists to make him look guilty.
It could be that Hermione uses her intelligence and knowledge of magic to create a situation where Draco appears to be involved in a dangerous or illegal magical activity. For example, she might manipulate a spell or a magical object to make it seem like Draco was using dark magic. And then she reports him to the proper authorities, which results in him being sent to Azkaban.
Hermione might become more morally ambiguous. Normally she is a very just and rule - following character, but by tricking Draco into Azkaban, she steps into a grey area. She could start to question her own actions and feel guilty.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, Hermione is wrongly accused of a serious crime like dark magic use. Maybe some powerful and corrupt wizarding figure wants to silence her for her Muggle - born rights activism. So they frame her and she gets sent to Azkaban.
One possible plot could be that Hermione was wrongly accused of a serious crime against the wizarding world. Maybe she was framed by a dark wizard who wanted to silence her for her intelligence and knowledge. She might be struggling to prove her innocence from within Azkaban while her friends on the outside, like Harry and Ron, are desperately trying to find evidence to free her.
One possible plot could be that Hermione discovers a dark secret about Azkaban. And the Ministry of Magic, fearing she'll expose it, sends her there. In Azkaban, she meets some other wrongly imprisoned witches and wizards. Together, they plan an escape while also trying to expose the real criminals in the wizarding world.
One possible plot could be that Harry discovers some new evidence that proves Draco's innocence. Maybe there was a frame - up by some dark forces within the wizarding world. Harry, being the hero he is, feels compelled to act and uses his influence and skills to break Draco out of Azkaban. This could lead to them having to go on the run together, hiding from the authorities while they try to expose the real culprits.
One consequence could be a change in the public's perception of Hermione. Some might see her as a hero for standing up against an unjust imprisonment, while others might view her actions as traitorous, especially if they believe Draco was truly guilty. This could create a divide among the wizarding community.
In this kind of fanfiction, it could happen in various ways. Maybe Hermione discovers some evidence that Draco was wrongly accused. For example, she might find that certain spells were cast on Draco to make him seem guilty when he actually wasn't. So she uses her intelligence and knowledge of magic to expose the truth and save him from Azkaban.

Meanwhile, her friends Harry and Ron believe in her innocence and start to investigate to find the real culprit and clear her name.
The plot could start with rumors reaching Harry that Draco is being unjustly treated in Azkaban. Harry, being the hero he is, decides to investigate. He uncovers a conspiracy within the Ministry of Magic that is trying to keep Draco locked up for political reasons. Harry then uses his connections, like his friendship with Neville who now has some influence in the Ministry, to get a hearing for Draco. During the hearing, Harry presents the evidence he has found, which includes magical artifacts that prove Draco's innocence, and Draco is finally released.
Perhaps the kiss is a moment of impulse for Draco, who has been secretly attracted to Hermione's intelligence and courage all along. Hermione, on the other hand, is initially shocked but then realizes she has some feelings for Draco too. Their relationship could then develop as they try to find common ground between their different houses' values. They might start working together on a project in the library, away from the prying eyes of their classmates, and slowly build a deeper connection through their shared love for learning and magic.
