One popular 'Hermione fanfiction' is 'Harmony' fics which pair Hermione with Harry. They often explore different magical adventures and character developments that weren't fully explored in the original series. Another type could be those that focus on Hermione's time at Hogwarts outside of the main events of the books, like her academic achievements and relationships with other students.
There's a fic where the Slytherins take Hermione under their wing during a particularly dangerous time at Hogwarts. They start to respect her for her knowledge of magic and her courage. They form an unlikely alliance with her, and the story shows how they use their Slytherin cunning to keep her safe from dark forces that are lurking in the school. It's a story that really plays with the idea of different house relationships in the Harry Potter universe.
I recall a story titled 'Snape's Watchful Eye on Hermione'. It shows Snape noticing Hermione's potential early on. He starts leaving little hints and protective spells around her. The story also delves into Snape's complex feelings, as he sees a bit of himself in Hermione's thirst for knowledge and her outsider status among some of the Gryffindors.
Social media platforms can also be helpful. Follow Harry Potter fan accounts on Twitter or Instagram. They sometimes post about great fanfictions, including those about Hermione. Additionally, Tumblr has a large fanfiction community. Search for Hermione fanfiction tags on Tumblr, and you'll likely find some interesting reads.
One key element is the change in the Slytherin characters. Usually, in the original series, there's a lot of rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor where Hermione belongs. So in these fics, the Slytherins have to change their views, like realizing Hermione's worth despite her being a Gryffindor and a Muggle - born. For example, they might see how her intelligence can benefit them all in the long run.
Another plot could involve Lucius being under a spell or a curse that makes him look after Hermione. In this scenario, he might initially be reluctant but as time passes, he starts to genuinely care for her. He could introduce her to parts of the wizarding world that she hasn't seen before, like some ancient magical libraries or secret spells, all while still being conflicted about his new role.
In a fanfiction like this, Hermione as a teacher might be at Hogwarts. She could start a special project about magical creatures and their place in society. Remus, being a werewolf, has a unique perspective. They might collaborate on this project, and during the process, their relationship deepens. The story could also involve some challenges from the more traditional teachers who are skeptical of Hermione's modern teaching methods.
Another alternative is fanfiction that delves into Hermione's post - Hogwarts career. It could be about her working in the Ministry of Magic, making important changes and fighting for the rights of magical creatures. These types of stories highlight her strong - willed and justice - seeking nature.
One possibility could be that Hermione's intelligence would blend really well with the Avengers' skills. She could use her vast knowledge of magic to assist in situations where the Avengers' technology or brute force might not be enough. For example, she could use spells to disable high - tech security systems during a mission or heal the Avengers' wounds more quickly than normal medical means.
In a fanfiction with this theme, it could be set post - war. Draco and Hermione find themselves in a situation where they are on the run from some dark wizards who are after them for different reasons. During their escape, Hermione gets wet and cold. Draco, having a change of heart after the war, gives her his warm cloak. This act of kindness begins to break down the barriers between them, and they start to have deeper conversations, realizing they have more in common than they thought.
