One possible plot development could be Malfoy struggling to fit into Hermione's world. He might be resistant to her friends and the values they uphold. Another could be Hermione trying to get Malfoy to accept his new family situation. Maybe there would be a plotline where Malfoy's old pure - blood family tries to interfere with the adoption.
Well, in such a fanfiction scenario, it would drastically change their relationship. Hermione, being the kind - hearted and empathetic character she is, might try to instill her values in Malfoy. Malfoy, on the other hand, would initially resist but gradually start to see things from a different perspective. Their relationship would become more of a mentor - mentee or a mother - son like bond, filled with moments of conflict as Malfoy's old prejudices clash with Hermione's new influence.
One possible fanfiction scenario could be that Draco and Hermione are forced to work together on a school project in Hogwarts. At first, they are at odds due to their different houses and backgrounds. But as they dig deeper into the project, they start to see each other's intelligence and determination. Draco realizes that Hermione is not just a 'Mudblood' but a brilliant witch, and Hermione sees that Draco has more to him than just his Slytherin arrogance.
Family is also a big theme. His new family in the adopted fanfiction can either be a source of great comfort and growth or a new set of challenges that he has to face, which shapes his character further.
Love against all odds is also a prevalent theme. Given their differences and the history between their houses, a relationship between Hermione and Malfoy is seen as unlikely. But in these fanfictions, love blossoms. It's not just about romantic love but also about friendship and mutual respect. The authors often build up their relationship gradually, starting from animosity to understanding and finally to love or deep friendship.
In fanfiction, it might be due to a redemption arc for Lucius. He realizes the error of his ways in the wizarding war and starts to view Hermione, a muggle - born with great talent, as someone worthy of protection. He could also be protecting her from other dark wizards who might want to harm her because of her intelligence and influence among the light - sided wizards. This protection could also be a form of self - atonement for his past misdeeds against the muggle - borns.
One possible reason could be the contrast between them. Lucius is from an old, pure - blood wizarding family with dark tendencies, while Hermione is a Muggle - born with strong moral values. This contrast creates an interesting dynamic that fanfiction writers like to explore.
Well, it could be that this fanfiction explores a different dynamic between Hermione and Malfoy. Maybe it delves into a scenario where Hermione has some sort of admiration or unexpected connection to Malfoy. It might be about reimagining their relationship in a non - canonical way.
In some fanfictions, there could be a time - travel element. What if Draco and Hermione are sent back in time? They might have to work together to ensure the future they know doesn't change. This could lead to some interesting character development as they are forced to rely on each other in a completely different time period, and they may see each other in a new light as they face challenges together.
One possibility could be that Sirius sees Hermione's intelligence and determination and decides to take her under his wing. Maybe he realizes her potential and wants to protect her from the dangers in the wizarding world that he has faced himself.
