One popular fanfiction could be 'The Dark Triumphant' where Voldemort wins in a very different way. It shows how Draco, Hermione and Ron are caught in a world ruled by Voldemort's new order. Another one might be 'A World Turned' which explores how the relationships between Draco, Hermione and Ron change when Voldemort is victorious. There are also some that focus on the moral and ethical dilemmas the characters face in such a dark world.
In many such fanfictions, Draco often has a complex reaction. Since his family was on Voldemort's side initially, he might initially be in a position of power but then start to question Voldemort's methods. Hermione, being the intelligent and strong - willed character, usually tries to find ways to resist. Ron, who is loyal to his friends, stands by Hermione and they often try to form some sort of resistance together.
A popular one is 'New Beginnings'. Here, the story focuses on how Hermione copes with Ron's betrayal and how Draco enters her life at that crucial moment. It shows a different side of the Hogwarts world and the characters, with their relationships evolving in unexpected ways.
One of the main reasons is the exploration of redemption. Draco, with his family's dark past, has a lot to atone for. Winning Hermione's heart can be seen as part of his redemption arc. It also gives Hermione a chance to be with someone who is different from what she's used to. The stories often involve Draco changing his ways, which is inspiring. And the idea of two people from different backgrounds and beliefs coming together in love is always a captivating concept in fanfiction.
One great example is 'A Different Sort of Bond' where Draco and Hermione are forced to work together on a complex magical project. Their initial animosity slowly turns into respect and then something more. Another is 'The Unlikely Alliance' which explores how Draco's cunning and Hermione's intelligence combine in a world - saving adventure. There's also 'Draco's Redemption' where Draco tries to win Hermione's heart as part of his path to redeem himself from his past misdeeds.
In some fanfictions, Voldemort wins through a change in the prophecy's interpretation. If the prophecy was misread, it could give him an edge he didn't originally have.
Well, it definitely makes things more complicated. Ron would probably be very confused and angry at first. He might see Draco's actions as a form of interference or even an insult. He may think Draco has some ulterior motives towards Hermione.
Well, in some versions, Ron might use his quick wit and knowledge of Hogwarts' secret passages to outmaneuver Draco. He could lead Hermione to safety through a passage that Draco doesn't know about.
The relationship could take a very different turn. Ron might become extremely jealous, especially if he has feelings for Hermione. This jealousy could lead to him lashing out at Hermione and even trying to drive a wedge between her and Draco. Hermione, in turn, might be frustrated with Ron's immaturity and start to distance herself from him. But if they are able to communicate effectively and Ron realizes his jealousy is unfounded, they could start to rebuild their relationship on a more mature and understanding basis.
Hermione might initially be shocked and afraid, but she would quickly gather her wits. She would assess Draco, trying to figure out if there was any way to sway him to her side. Given her ability to see the good in people, she might try to appeal to any sense of morality Draco has left, all while secretly planning her escape or a way to undermine Voldemort's plan of using her as a pawn against the good side.
