Perhaps Hermione uses her magic in an unconventional way that goes against what Rodolphus thought was possible. This could be in a situation where they are both facing a common enemy. Hermione's spell -casting creativity, like combining different spells to create a new and powerful effect, catches Rodolphus off -guard and makes him impressed.
Hermione's leadership skills might also play a part. If she takes charge in a group or a mission, and is able to guide others effectively towards a common goal. Rodolphus, seeing her lead with confidence and intelligence, would surely be impressed.
The baby in the fanfiction could be of a special lineage. It could have powers that Sesshomaru needs to understand and help develop. This would lead to a journey of discovery for him. He may also have to face his own past traumas related to family as he raises the baby, and this could be a way to heal his inner wounds.
One way could be through a time - travel or alternate - reality plot. Maybe Hermione discovers a way to go back in time and change Severus' fate. She sees his potential for good and they form a deep friendship that gradually develops into a relationship where they consider having a child together. This would focus on their mutual understanding and respect for each other's intelligence and abilities.
One possibility is that the fanfiction presents unique plotlines involving Hermione. It could place her in different magical scenarios or make her interact with characters in unexpected ways. This novelty can be very appealing. Also, if the fanfiction develops Hermione's intellectual side further, showing her solving even more complex magical problems, that could also impress Rowlw.
One way could be to show Percy's internal struggle. He might initially try to hide his illness from his family because of his pride and the distance he had with them before. For example, he could keep going to work at the Ministry, pushing himself until he physically can't anymore. His symptoms could start to show during important meetings or tasks, creating a sense of drama and concern among his colleagues who don't know the real cause.
Well, in fanfiction, anything can be possible. It could be that some dark magic or a strange spell was involved that made Hermione be Bella and Rodolphus' daughter. Maybe there was a time - traveling incident where the past was altered in a way that led to this unexpected family connection.
She would likely be on high alert. Hermione is a smart witch, so she would quickly assess the situation. She might immediately reach for her wand and prepare to defend herself. Her first reaction would probably be fear, but she would soon overcome it with her determination to not be a victim.
Maybe he is attracted to Hermione's character traits like her intelligence and courage. Fanfictions often explore different aspects of her personality in unique ways that might intrigue him.
The family members themselves can also play a role in character development. Draco's parents, for example, could start off as cold towards Hermione but then be influenced by her intelligence and kindness. This change in their attitude could then affect Draco and how he views his relationship with Hermione. Similarly, Hermione's family, if included, could show their support for her new connection, which would give Hermione more confidence to explore her relationship with Draco further.
It could start with animosity. Rodolphus has been a Death Eater and Hermione is a Muggle - born, so there would be initial hatred. But if they were forced to work together, say in a dangerous mission to save the wizarding world, they might slowly gain respect for each other. Hermione's knowledge and Rodolphus' experience could be complementary.
