Hermione often shows great courage in these situations. At first, she might be scared, but she soon overcomes it. She tries to gather information about her kidnappers and their plans. If they are trying to 'adopt' her, she questions their motives and tries to find out what they really want from her. She may use her intelligence to manipulate the situation to her advantage. For instance, she could pretend to go along with their adoption idea while secretly planning her escape. She also tries to stay true to her values. If her kidnappers have a different view on things like the treatment of Muggles, she will not be afraid to speak up and defend her beliefs, even in a captive situation.
In these fanfictions, a common motive for Hermione's kidnapping could be her unique knowledge. She is known for her extensive reading and understanding of magic. Some villains might want to use that knowledge for their own gain. For example, they could be looking to uncover ancient and powerful magic that Hermione has studied. Regarding the adoption part, it might be a way for those who kidnap her to control her future. They could think that by 'adopting' her, they can shape her into someone who serves their interests better. It could also be related to a prophecy. If there is a prophecy that involves Hermione in some way, certain groups might kidnap her to either prevent the prophecy from coming true or to make it come true in a way that benefits them.
There could be. Fanfiction writers love to explore different scenarios that deviate from the original story. But it's important to note that this goes against the general perception of Dumbledore's character. In the official Harry Potter series, Dumbledore is a protector, not a kidnapper. But in the world of fanfiction, anything is possible.
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.
One great 'Adopted Hermione' fanfiction is 'A New Family for Hermione'. It beautifully portrays Hermione being adopted into a loving magical family. The story delves into how she adjusts to this new family dynamic while still maintaining her strong, independent character. It also shows how her new family helps her grow in different ways, especially in terms of her magical abilities outside of Hogwarts studies.
Well, in general, fanfiction about an adopted and abused Hermione is a rather dark concept. Ethically, it's a gray area. On one hand, fanfiction allows for creative exploration, but this theme might be disturbing to many. It could be seen as unethical if it promotes or glorifies abuse in any way.
One common trope is the heroic rescue. Usually, her friends like Harry and Ron will come to her rescue in a daring adventure. Another is the 'damsel in distress' aspect, although Hermione is far from a typical damsel. Sometimes, the kidnapper might have some hidden motives related to her intelligence, like wanting to steal her knowledge.
In the fanfiction world, such themes are generally considered unethical. Fanfiction is often a form of creative expression within a community, and themes of kidnapping and torture go against basic moral values. It can also be disturbing to many readers.
One possibility could be that in the fanfiction, Hermione is adopted by Professor McGonagall. McGonagall, being strict yet kind - hearted, would see Hermione's potential and take her under her wing. She could offer Hermione a more stable and nurturing environment within Hogwarts, away from any potential problems in her regular life. This might also lead to Hermione having an even deeper understanding of Transfiguration as she would get more one - on - one time with McGonagall.
Well, power dynamics can be a theme too. If she's adopted into a powerful wizarding family, there could be issues of how she navigates the power hierarchy within the family. Some fics also have the theme of redemption. Maybe the family that adopts her has a troubled past, and through Hermione's presence, they start to change for the better. And of course, friendship still plays a role as Hermione tries to balance her new family life with her relationships with Harry and Ron.
