There might be a fanfic where Hermione is being bullied by some other students for being a Muggle - born. Draco, who has changed his views, steps in to comfort her. He tells her that her magic is just as strong and valid as anyone else's, and that he will make sure those bullies stop. In this story, they start to form an unlikely friendship that eventually turns into something more.
One example could be a story where Draco is feeling the pressure of his family's expectations and Hermione, seeing his vulnerability, offers a listening ear. She might share her own experiences of being under pressure in the wizarding world. Another could be set after the war, where Draco is dealing with the guilt and Hermione reaches out to him with kindness and understanding.
Another scenario might be that Hermione has a fight with her friends. Draco, who has grown to understand her better, takes her for a walk in the Hogwarts grounds. He tells her that friendships have their ups and downs. He shares stories of his own rocky relationships with his Slytherin mates, making her feel less alone.
One example could be a fanfic where Draco finds Hermione in the library during a thunderstorm. She's clearly scared, and Draco, instead of his usual snide self, sits beside her and starts a conversation about books to distract her. He might share some of his own fears related to storms from his childhood, making Hermione feel less alone.
There are also fanfictions where Draco is injured during a wizarding duel. Lucius, despite his usual stoicism, rushes to his son's side and uses magic to heal his wounds while whispering words of comfort, telling Draco that he is a Malfoy and Malfoys are strong.
In some fanfictions, after Hermione has a bad encounter with some Slytherins who are bullying her for being a Muggle - born, Charlie comes to her rescue.

This act of kindness and sharing his love for magical beasts comforts Hermione. It gives her a new perspective and makes her feel safe and valued.
One common theme is redemption. Draco often needs to redeem himself after his actions during the war, and Hermione's comfort is a step in that process. For example, in many stories, he has to face the consequences of his family's loyalty to Voldemort, and Hermione helps him see a different path.
