Another scenario might be that Hermione has a fight with her friends. Draco, who has grown to understand her better, takes her for a walk in the Hogwarts grounds. He tells her that friendships have their ups and downs. He shares stories of his own rocky relationships with his Slytherin mates, making her feel less alone.
In a social event at Hogwarts, if Hermione feels out of place among the pure - blood families, Draco would introduce her to the more open - minded ones. He'd comfort her by whispering in her ear that she belongs there just as much as anyone else, because of her own great wizarding lineage through her magical abilities, not blood.
One example could be a fanfic where Draco finds Hermione in the library during a thunderstorm. She's clearly scared, and Draco, instead of his usual snide self, sits beside her and starts a conversation about books to distract her. He might share some of his own fears related to storms from his childhood, making Hermione feel less alone.
Fear is a big one. Hermione is often portrayed as a strong character, but thunderstorms can bring out her vulnerability. Draco, on the other hand, might experience a sense of protectiveness that he didn't expect. He could also feel a bit of guilt for past actions towards Hermione as he tries to comfort her.
One popular Dramione fanfiction with a dominant Draco is 'Isolation' by Bex - Chan. It delves deep into the complex relationship between Draco and Hermione post - Hogwarts. The story shows Draco's dominant personality as he and Hermione navigate their feelings in a world that's still adjusting to the end of the war.
One common theme is redemption. Draco often needs to redeem himself after his actions during the war, and Hermione's comfort is a step in that process. For example, in many stories, he has to face the consequences of his family's loyalty to Voldemort, and Hermione helps him see a different path.
In some Dramione fanfictions where Draco meets Hermione's parents, it can be quite an interesting scenario. Maybe Draco is initially nervous. He tries to make a good impression on Hermione's Muggle parents. He might show them that he's not the same as the prejudiced pure - blood wizard he once was.
The appeal lies in the contrast of their characters. Draco was once a bully to Hermione, so seeing him be the one to offer comfort creates an interesting dynamic. It's like seeing two opposites come together in a new way.
One popular 'hermione comforts draco fanfiction' is 'A Different Kind of Bond'. In this story, Hermione finds Draco in a moment of great distress after the war. She reaches out to him with kindness, seeing past their differences. Their relationship gradually evolves as she offers him the comfort and understanding he so desperately needs.
There might be a fanfic where Hermione is being bullied by some other students for being a Muggle - born. Draco, who has changed his views, steps in to comfort her. He tells her that her magic is just as strong and valid as anyone else's, and that he will make sure those bullies stop. In this story, they start to form an unlikely friendship that eventually turns into something more.
