Sure, such fanfictions exist. A plot could involve Hermione finding out by accident, like through a long - lost family heirloom or a magical revelation. This discovery could send shockwaves through the wizarding community. Lucius might try to keep it a secret at first to protect his reputation, but as events unfold, he is forced to acknowledge Hermione publicly. This could lead to a reevaluation of the Malfoy family's standing in the wizarding world, and Hermione would have to deal with newfound family members, some of whom may not be welcoming, all while still being true to her friends and her own values.
It would likely be strained. Ron has a strong dislike for the Malfoys, so if Hermione was suddenly part of that family, he'd be conflicted. Harry might also be suspicious as Lucius has been an enemy. Hermione would be caught in the middle, trying to balance her old friendships with her new family ties.
Lucius has a sense of entitlement that comes from his pure - blood upbringing and family wealth. Hermione, being a Muggle - born (in the original story), has had to fight for her place in the wizarding world. So in fanfiction as siblings, Lucius might initially look down on Hermione's more inclusive views, while Hermione would be appalled by Lucius's prejudice. However, as the story progresses, they could learn from each other. Lucius could become more open - minded and Hermione could understand the pressures of a pure - blood family.
Yes, it is somewhat popular. This concept often leads to very interesting plot twists. It changes the whole dynamic of the story as Lucius is a Death Eater and Hermione is a Muggle - born witch. Writers explore how Hermione's life would be different with such a different family background, like her relationship with Draco might change completely.
Yes, there are some fanfictions with this rather out - of - the - box concept. In the world of fanfiction, authors like to explore different 'what - if' scenarios, and this is one of them.
In such fanfiction, Hermione could develop her understanding of the dark side of the wizarding world more deeply. Through her interactions with Lucius, she gets to see the inner workings of the dark wizards. This might make her more empathetic towards those who have been corrupted by the dark side, while also strengthening her resolve to fight against it. Her relationships with other characters could also change. She might become more isolated from her friends at first, but then find new allies among unexpected characters.
The themes often include prejudice. Hermione, being related to Lucius, might face different types of prejudice, both from those who hate the Malfoys and those who despise Muggle - borns. There's also the theme of acceptance. Lucius has to accept Hermione as his daughter, and Hermione has to accept her new family. Additionally, power dynamics play a role. The Malfoy family has power and influence, and Hermione's place in that power structure would be explored in these fanfictions.
For Lucius, his development could be a slow process. At first, he resents being around Hermione, but as he witnesses her magic and her kind heart, he starts to question his own values. He may begin to see the error of his ways regarding blood purity. Hermione might develop more patience. Dealing with Lucius, who has such different views, makes her learn to tolerate and try to change someone rather than just oppose them.
Hermione could also use her magic skills to her advantage. She is a powerful witch, and in the Malfoy household, she may use her magic to create a space for herself where she can be true to herself. She might also use magic to subtly influence Lucius and make him more accepting of her and her beliefs.
One interesting plotline could be the clash of their different ideologies. Hermione, with her strong beliefs in equality and justice, and Lucius, from a traditional pure - blood family with elitist views. Their marriage, forced by the law, might lead to a power struggle within the Malfoy household as Hermione tries to assert her values.
