In a different fanfiction, Hermione could be afraid of a prophecy that involves her and Draco. The prophecy seems to foretell doom and destruction. She's terrified of what might come to pass. Draco, who also hears about the prophecy, tries to comfort her. He tells her that prophecies can be misinterpreted and that they can change their fate together. He starts to work with Hermione to figure out a way to avoid the bad outcomes predicted by the prophecy.
Hermione herself could be more vigilant. If she noticed any signs of danger or people acting strangely around her, she could take precautions. She could use her own intelligence and magic to create defenses. For instance, she could set up a spell that alerts her when someone with malicious intent is near, and then she could either escape or fight back.
In some fanfictions, Hermione might focus on her studies even more. She could throw herself into books and research, using knowledge as her solace. Since she's often ignored, she might become more self - reliant and independent, finding strength within herself rather than relying on others for validation.
One possibility could be that she begs for the truth. In a lot of fanfics, when Hermione is betrayed, she might beg the person who betrayed her, perhaps Harry if the plot is set that way, to tell her why they did it. She's a character who values loyalty and knowledge, so being betrayed would be a huge shock. And her begging could be a way to try and make sense of the situation, to get back to the stability she once knew.
One idea could be to focus on how they prepare for the baby. For example, Ron might be clumsily trying to assemble a crib while Hermione reads all the parenting books she can find. Another idea is to explore how their friends react. Harry could be super excited and start giving them all sorts of baby - related gifts. And Ginny might offer Hermione some motherly advice based on her own experience with her son.
One possible fanfiction could be titled 'The Petrified Duo: Harry and Hermione'. In this story, it might explore how their friends react to them being petrified. Maybe Ron is the first to discover them in that state and goes into a panic, trying to figure out how to reverse the petrification.
In some fanfictions, Ron gets jealous when Hermione spends too much time studying with other classmates. He might give her the cold shoulder or make snide remarks about her study partners.
One consequence could be the danger it poses to Hermione herself. As a Horcrux, Voldemort's forces might target her more. Also, her friends would be extremely protective.
One example is when she's made into just a sidekick for Harry in some fanfictions. Instead of being the brains behind many of their plans, she's simply there to follow his lead. Another example could be when her academic achievements are ignored. In the original books, Hermione is a top - notch student, but in some fanfics, her knowledge and research abilities are not utilized or even mentioned. Also, there are fanfics where her courage is not highlighted. Hermione has shown great courage throughout the series, yet in certain fan - created stories, she's portrayed as a timid character waiting for others to take action.
Maybe a jealous wizard or witch within the Ministry of Magic. They might be envious of Hermione's popularity and influence among the younger wizards. So they fabricate evidence against her to get her locked up in Azkaban.
