Well, in a fanfic scenario, if Hermione experiences a loss during surgery, perhaps of a patient she was very attached to, Draco could be the one to comfort her in an unexpected way. He might use his own experiences with loss in his family to relate to her. This could lead to them becoming closer friends or even more. They could start to understand each other on a much deeper level, realizing that they both have vulnerabilities.
In such a fanfiction, the surgery and loss could act as a catalyst. Let's say Draco and Hermione are both involved in a research - related surgery that goes wrong. The loss of the project or a discovery they were hoping for could bring them together. They would have to rely on each other to deal with the aftermath. Draco's Slytherin cunning and Hermione's Gryffindor courage could combine to help them move forward, and in the process, their relationship would transform from one of enmity to something more complex and perhaps affectionate.
One possible fanfiction could be about Hermione and Draco working in a wizarding hospital. Hermione is a brilliant healer, and Draco is there because of a family member's illness. During a difficult surgery on a patient, they experience a loss. This event makes them reflect on life and their own relationship. They start to see each other in a new light, beyond their Hogwarts rivalries.
One common theme could be the struggle of Hermione to cope with the loss. It might be about her dealing with physical or emotional changes after the surgery.
The relationship between Draco and Hermione would be a model for their children. They'd show that love can exist between two people who were once on opposite sides. In parenting, they'd pass on the values of acceptance and understanding. They'd encourage their children to make friends from all houses and backgrounds, teaching them that differences should be celebrated rather than feared. Their own relationship journey would be a constant source of inspiration for their family.
It could improve their relationship. After the accident, they might realize that they have more in common than they thought. For example, they both are very determined when it comes to potions, just in different ways. This newfound understanding could lead to a grudging respect and the start of a friendship.
In fanfiction, the 'Mudblood' concept often acts as an initial barrier. For example, in many stories, Draco has been raised with the pure - blood ideology which makes him look down on Hermione as a 'Mudblood' at first. This creates a lot of tension and conflict between them. However, as the story progresses, Draco's views might change, either through getting to know Hermione better or having some sort of life - changing experience. This then becomes a crucial part of their relationship development as they have to overcome this prejudice.
In some stories, the tattoos have magical properties that directly influence their relationship. For example, they might cause the two to have shared dreams or feelings. This makes them more empathetic towards each other and helps break down the barriers between them. The tattoos can also be a source of protection for each other in dangerous situations.
Well, in fanfiction, expulsion is often used as a plot device to bring Draco and Hermione together. It changes their social statuses, and they are now both outsiders. This new shared identity can lead to a deeper connection. They may start to bond over their feelings of being wrongly accused or misunderstood. The expulsion also gives them more freedom to interact without the constant watch of Hogwarts faculty and students. This freedom allows for their relationship to develop in ways that wouldn't be possible within the school walls, like exploring new magical areas together or having long, in - depth conversations about their beliefs and values.
It can make the relationship very intense. Hermione might initially resist Draco's possessiveness, which creates conflict. But over time, it could lead to a deeper understanding between them as she realizes it comes from his insecurities or strong feelings.
In Dramione fanfiction, Draco being a Seeker can make Hermione view him differently. If he's good at it, she might see his determination and skill, which could start to change her opinion of him from just being a 'bad Slytherin'. It could create a sense of respect between them.
The 'owner ring' often creates a forced connection. It can start as a source of conflict as Hermione may resist the idea of being 'owned' by Draco. But it also means they have to interact more, which can lead to a grudging respect and eventually deeper feelings. For example, if the ring gives Draco some power over Hermione's actions, she'll fight against it at first but then they might find common ground.
