A possible plotline is that Hermione uses her intelligence to help Sirius clear his name in the wizarding world while dealing with their arranged marriage. This could involve her researching old laws and magical artifacts. Or, Sirius could teach Hermione some of the more unorthodox magic he knows, which helps her in her studies and also strengthens their bond. Also, there could be a sub - plot where they have to pretend to be a happily married couple for a mission, and during this pretense, they actually start to fall for each other.
A plot idea could be that the arranged marriage is a condition for Sirius to be fully pardoned for his past crimes. The Ministry believes that Hermione's influence will keep Sirius in line. So, they have to make this marriage work. Along the way, they face opposition from some pure - blood families who don't think Hermione, a Muggle - born, is suitable for a Black.
It could be interesting in terms of the power dynamics within the wizarding world. An arranged marriage between them might be part of a larger political or family scheme. Maybe there are those who want to use Hermione's intelligence and Sirius' connection to the Black family for some ulterior motive. This would create a lot of tension and mystery as they try to figure out who is behind it all and what the end game is.
Sirius is impulsive and rebellious. Hermione, on the other hand, is studious and rule - abiding. Their personalities could clash as Sirius might want to break the rules of the arranged marriage, while Hermione would be more likely to try and make the best of it. But they could also complement each other. Sirius could teach Hermione to be more spontaneous, and Hermione could help Sirius be more responsible.
One great Sirius Black arranged marriage fanfiction is 'The Unforeseen Bond'. In this story, Sirius is forced into an arranged marriage, but he discovers unexpected feelings for his partner as they face various challenges together. It's a really engaging read with well - developed characters.
I've read 'Bound by Arrangement'. In this fanfiction, the arranged marriage between Draco and Hermione is set against the backdrop of post - war wizarding world. It shows how they have to navigate their differences, not only as former enemies but also as two individuals from different pure - blood and Muggle - born backgrounds. There are a lot of interesting plot twists that keep you hooked.
One popular Hermione and Fleur arranged marriage fanfiction is 'A Most Unusual Arrangement'. It beautifully weaves their different personalities together as they navigate the challenges of an arranged marriage. The story shows how Hermione's intelligence and Fleur's charm interact in a really interesting way.
There's also 'Hermione's Arranged Fate'. This one is different because it not only focuses on the relationship between Hermione and her arranged partner, but also on how it affects her friendships. It's a long - form fanfiction that really explores all the possible consequences and developments that could come from an arranged marriage scenario for Hermione.
Another theme is the exploration of unexpected love. At first, Hermione may be against the arranged marriage, but as the story progresses, she discovers that there are deeper feelings for her partner. It's like a slow - burn romance that is born out of an initially unwanted situation.
One common theme is the struggle with identity. Harry and Hermione have always seen themselves as friends and comrades, so an arranged marriage forces them to re - evaluate who they are in relation to each other. Another theme is the acceptance of fate. In these fics, they often start by resisting the idea of being married but then gradually accept that it might be their destiny.
