In 'Hidden Alliances', young Hermione and Draco are forced to team up when they suspect there's a dark plot in Hogwarts that the teachers are overlooking. As they investigate, they have to rely on each other's unique skills. Hermione's vast knowledge and Draco's ability to move within Slytherin circles prove invaluable, and through this, a friendship starts to form.
There's 'A Change of Heart'. It's set during their early years at Hogwarts. Hermione accidentally discovers Draco's secret love for magical creatures, which is against his family's pure - blood ideals. This discovery leads to a series of encounters where they gradually become friends, defying the typical Gryffindor - Slytherin enmity.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'The Unlikely Bond'. In this story, young Hermione and Draco are paired for a school project. At first, they bicker constantly, but as they work together, they start to understand each other's insecurities. Hermione realizes Draco isn't just a mean Slytherin and Draco sees Hermione's intelligence and kindness beyond her Gryffindor bravado.
In some fanfictions, post - war, Hermione is involved in magical creature rights activism and Draco, who has a newfound sense of redemption, joins her cause. Their shared love for magical creatures, which they discover along the way, brings them closer. They start to communicate more, and their relationship evolves from animosity to mutual respect and eventually, perhaps, love.
There could be a fanfiction where the clamp leash is an object in a magical game or tournament. Draco and Hermione are on opposing teams, and the leash has certain magical properties that affect the outcome of the game. This would create an interesting dynamic between them as they both try to outwit each other while also being connected by this strange object.
One common theme is the idea of redemption. Draco is often portrayed as having a chance to redeem himself through his relationship with Hermione. For example, in many fics, he realizes the error of his ways in the context of the wizarding world's class and blood - purity issues because of her influence.
One popular theme could be the idea of redemption for Draco. In many fanfictions, he is shown to overcome his family's dark past and prejudice. Another theme might be the power of friendship or love that develops between Hermione and Draco, despite their initial differences. It could also explore how they navigate the complex wizarding world together, facing challenges from their respective houses and the general wizarding society.
One interesting plot twist could be that they are betrothed due to a magical contract made by their ancestors to end an old feud between the Gryffindors and Slytherins. Hermione at first resists but then discovers Draco has a kinder side she never knew. Another could be that in the middle of their betrothal, a dark wizard tries to use their union for his own evil purposes, forcing them to work together to stop him. And perhaps, after all the chaos, they realize they actually love each other in a way they never expected.
One interesting aspect could be the character development. It might show Draco in a new light, breaking away from his traditional 'bad boy' image in the original series as he falls for Hermione. This could lead to some really unique interactions between the two characters that we don't see in the official books.
In a fanfiction, they might grin at each other during a wizarding duel tournament. Maybe they are secretly on the same side against a common enemy, and that shared secret makes them exchange grins of understanding.
One plot could be that after Draco injures Hermione accidentally during a duel in their school days, he feels extremely guilty. He then tries to make it up to her by secretly helping her with her studies and protecting her from other Slytherins who might mock her for being injured. Eventually, they start to understand each other better and form an unlikely friendship.
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.
