The collar can also be a source of mystery. It could be linked to some dark magic that she has to uncover. Maybe it was once owned by a powerful dark wizard and she has to break the curse on it. This creates a lot of plot twists and turns in the fanfiction. Hermione's exploration of the collar's secrets can lead to new friendships, rivalries, and revelations about the Hogwarts world. For instance, she might find that the collar has a connection to a hidden chamber in Hogwarts that no one knew about before. As she delves deeper into the mystery of the collar, she discovers more about Hogwarts' history and the true nature of magic.
Well, in many fanfictions, Hermione's Hogwarts collar can be a symbol. For example, it might symbolize her status as a top student. It could be a magical object that only she can access or understand, which gives her an edge in solving problems at Hogwarts.
Hermione can be developed by showing her initial resistance to the idea of the collar. She's a strong - willed character, so she might fight against the implications it has. As the story progresses, she could start to find ways to use the situation to her advantage, like using the attention the collar brings to spread awareness about an important cause at Hogwarts, such as equal rights for all magical creatures.
He could play the role of a double agent. Since he's from a Death Eater family but has his own misgivings about Voldemort, he might pretend to be on Voldemort's side while actually working against him. This adds an interesting layer of intrigue to the fanfiction story.
Often, it's described as a piece of fine, dark - colored fabric. Maybe it's made of a special magical material like dragonhide. It could have an elaborate design, perhaps with the Malfoy family crest embroidered on it in silver or gold threads.
It could be a new student who has a strange and misunderstood power that makes them seem like a 'collar stripper'. Maybe they are from a far - off land with different magical practices and this power is just a misinterpretation of their normal magic.
Hermione's intelligence allows her to understand Snape's complex nature. She can analyze his actions and words more deeply than others. For instance, when Snape is being particularly harsh in class, Hermione realizes it's often because he's under a lot of pressure or has high standards. So she can comfort him by saying she understands his intentions. Her knowledge also helps her to find solutions to problems that are bothering Snape. If there's an issue with a potion or a magical object, Hermione can use her vast knowledge to fix it, which in turn comforts Snape as it eases his stress.
It sets the atmosphere. Just like in the actual books and movies, the music in fanfiction helps create the magical, mysterious mood of Hogwarts. It can make the reader feel like they are really there, in the Great Hall or the Forbidden Forest.
The Hogwarts letter could act as a tracker. Since it's magically bound to Harry, it might start to glow or move in a certain direction leading to where he is. For example, if he's been taken to a secret lair, the letter could lead his friends right to the entrance.
The older sister could act as a mentor. Since she's older, she might have more experience at Hogwarts and could guide Hermione through the social and academic aspects. For example, she could tell Hermione which professors are more lenient and which ones to be extra careful with.
One possible plot could be that in a darker, alternate version of Hogwarts, there is a mysterious 'collar stripper' who targets Hermione. Maybe it's a new form of dark magic or a person under the influence of some evil force. Hermione, being the intelligent and brave witch she is, tries to figure out the mystery behind this 'collar stripper' and how it relates to the safety of Hogwarts and her friends.
There's a fanfiction where Hermione's Hogwarts collar is a family heirloom that has been passed down through generations of witches in her family. It gives her special protection and also serves as a connection to the ancient magic of her ancestors. This collar becomes a central plot device in the story as she discovers more about her family's past.
