One popular fanfiction with this theme is 'The Green Girl' where the relationship between Hermione and Draco is explored in great detail within the context of their betrothal. It delves into how they deal with their initial differences and prejudices from their respective Hogwarts houses.
Sure. In the world of fanfiction, many authors like to create unique pairings and scenarios. The idea of Hermione being secretly betrothed to Draco offers a lot of room for drama, conflict, and exploring the characters in new ways. Some fanfics might delve into how they deal with their families' expectations, their own personal feelings towards each other which might start as dislike but grow into something more, and how it affects their relationships with their friends in the wizarding world.
The idea of two characters from opposing sides coming together is very alluring. Hermione, a Muggle - born, and Draco, a pureblood with a rather elitist view, make for a very interesting pair. Their betrothal forces them to interact and break down barriers, which creates a lot of drama and character growth.
In these fanfictions, Draco's arrogance usually takes a backseat. The betrothal forces him to interact with Hermione on a deeper level, and he realizes that there's more to her than just being a 'Mudblood' in his old view. His personality becomes more complex as he tries to balance his Slytherin pride with his new - found feelings for Hermione. Hermione, on the other hand, might become a bit more secretive. She has to deal with her new relationship with Draco while also maintaining her friendships, and she may not be as open with her friends about her true feelings for Draco at first.
One interesting plot twist could be that they are betrothed due to a magical contract made by their ancestors to end an old feud between the Gryffindors and Slytherins. Hermione at first resists but then discovers Draco has a kinder side she never knew. Another could be that in the middle of their betrothal, a dark wizard tries to use their union for his own evil purposes, forcing them to work together to stop him. And perhaps, after all the chaos, they realize they actually love each other in a way they never expected.
Well, a plot could involve the discovery of the betrothal by their friends and the chaos that ensues. Harry and Ron might be outraged and try to break it off. Meanwhile, Hermione and Draco could be forced to work together to understand the origins of the betrothal, which could lead to uncovering some long - lost wizarding secrets. There could also be a plot where Draco's family has ulterior motives for the betrothal and Hermione has to figure out how to protect herself and her future without ruining the relationship that is slowly developing between her and Draco.
One common theme is the transformation of their relationship. They start as rivals but the betrothal forces them to reevaluate each other. Another theme is acceptance. They have to accept the situation they are in and also accept each other's differences.
One common theme is the exploration of their relationship. How they grow from friends to betrothed and then to something more. Another theme is often the challenges they face due to their betrothal, like dealing with the expectations of the wizarding community.
One popular theme could be the idea of redemption for Draco. In many fanfictions, he is shown to overcome his family's dark past and prejudice. Another theme might be the power of friendship or love that develops between Hermione and Draco, despite their initial differences. It could also explore how they navigate the complex wizarding world together, facing challenges from their respective houses and the general wizarding society.
