Dumbledore could also be involved in rescuing Hermione. He is very powerful and wise. He might have some knowledge about Rodolphus Lestrange's whereabouts or his plans. He could use his influence and magical abilities to orchestrate a rescue. Additionally, the Order of the Phoenix members, like Lupin or Sirius (if he's still alive in the fanfiction), could also play a role in rescuing Hermione as they are all fighting against the Dark Arts.
In some fanfictions, Neville Longbottom could be the one to rescue Hermione. He has grown into a very brave and capable wizard. He might discover Hermione's situation through his own investigations or by accident. And he would use his skills, especially his knowledge of Herbology which could come in handy in different ways, like using plants to create distractions or find hidden passages to reach Hermione.
Harry Potter is a very likely character to come to Hermione's rescue. He and Hermione are best friends, and he has a strong sense of loyalty. He would surely do whatever it takes to save her. Ron Weasley is also a candidate. He cares deeply about Hermione and would be extremely worried. He would join the rescue mission without hesitation.
In some fanfictions, there could be a situation where Hermione forms an unexpected bond with Rodolphus. Maybe she starts to understand his backstory and what led him to become a Death Eater. This could lead to a complex relationship where she tries to redeem him in a way. Or perhaps, Rodolphus discovers that Hermione is far more powerful and resourceful than he initially thought, and this throws his plans into chaos as he has to constantly adapt to her actions.
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.
The main characters would be Hermione, and the Lestrange brothers. Hermione is likely to be the moral compass in the story, constantly making decisions based on what is right. The Lestrange brothers, on the other hand, might be more complex. One of them could be more open to change and redemption, while the other could be more set in his dark ways, which would create interesting character dynamics throughout the fanfiction.
The main characters would be Hermione, the victim of the kidnapping. The Lestrange brothers are the antagonists. Neville Longbottom could also be involved. He might have some unexpected role, like using his newfound courage and knowledge of plants to help in the rescue mission.
Harry Potter is an obvious choice. Given their strong friendship and the many adventures they've had together, Harry would surely do everything in his power to rescue Hermione. He has faced many challenges before and wouldn't stand by while his friend is in Azkaban. Another likely character is Ron Weasley. He and Hermione have a complex relationship, but he would definitely not let her rot in Azkaban. Ron has his own skills and resources within the wizarding world that he could use to plan a rescue. Dumbledore, if he were still alive in the fanfiction, would also be a likely rescuer. He was always one to see the good in people and Hermione's intelligence and value to the wizarding world would make him want to save her. He has the power and influence to challenge the decision to send her to Azkaban.
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.
One plot idea could be that in an alternate universe, Rodolphus, after realizing the error of his ways in the wizarding war, tries to make amends by protecting Hermione from a new dark threat. This could lead to a begrudging partnership that slowly turns into an unexpected friendship or more.
Well, one possibility is that Hermione would be in immediate danger. Rodolphus Lestrange is a Death Eater and quite a dangerous one. He might try to capture Hermione to use her as a bargaining chip against the Order of the Phoenix or just to cause harm. Another scenario could be that Hermione tries to outwit him using her intelligence and knowledge of magic. She could try to trap him in a spell or find a way to escape his clutches. Maybe she would also try to gather information from him if she thought she could manage it without getting caught.
In some fanfictions, there could be original characters created by the author. These characters might be servants in Lestrange's household along with Hermione, and they could either be friends or foes to Hermione in her situation as a slave.
Well, clearly Lucius Malfoy and Hermione Granger are the main characters. Lucius is the one doing the kidnapping, so he drives the initial action. Hermione is the victim of the kidnapping, and she becomes the focus of the story as she tries to deal with the situation.
