Maybe in the fanfiction, Hermione discovers a hidden magic in the Hogwarts library that she shares with Fred. They then embark on a secret adventure within the school to uncover more about this magic. Along the way, they face challenges like avoiding Filch and outsmarting some magical obstacles. This could be a great way to show their growing friendship during their first year.
One idea could be that Hermione and Fred team up to prank Snape during their first year. Fred is known for his pranks and Hermione's intelligence could help them come up with a really elaborate plan that Snape can't easily figure out.
A plot could revolve around Hermione and Fred getting lost in the Forbidden Forest during their first year. They have to rely on each other's skills - Hermione's book knowledge and Fred's street - smartness (from all his rule - breaking experiences). They encounter various magical creatures and have to find their way back to the castle, which not only strengthens their bond but also earns them some respect from their fellow students.
One idea is that they use their Animagus forms to solve a mystery in Hogwarts. For instance, they suspect there's a hidden chamber and as their animal forms, they can access places regular students can't. Fred might be a squirrel, able to climb into small holes, and Hermione as a cat, able to prowl around quietly.
One plot idea could be that Fred and Hermione are working on a secret magical project together and during a moment of rest, they share a friendly lap moment where they exchange stories and ideas. Another could be in a time - travel scenario where Hermione ends up in an alternate reality where she and Fred are closer, and a lap - sitting incident occurs during a chaotic event.
A plot could revolve around a magical artifact that bonds Hermione and Fred together in a way that they have to take care of a baby created by the artifact's magic. As they take care of the baby, they start to fall in love with each other in a way they hadn't before. The story could be about their journey of self - discovery and new - found love while dealing with the baby.
Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, Fred and Hermione could be paired up for a special assignment by a professor. They start off not getting along because of their different personalities, but as they work together, they realize they have more in common than they thought. For example, they both have a strong sense of loyalty, Fred to his family and Hermione to her friends. They could end up using their combined skills to save a part of Hogwarts from a magical threat.
One idea could be that they are thrown into an alternate dimension where the normal rules of their relationship don't apply. In this dimension, they gradually discover new feelings for each other as they face various challenges together.
A possible plot could revolve around the magical aspects of Hermione's pregnancy. Since they are in a magical world, there could be unique magical events during her pregnancy. For example, the baby could have some special magical powers even before birth, and they have to figure out how to handle it. Also, Fred might use his Weasley's Wizard Wheezes knowledge to create some special products for Hermione during her pregnancy, like a charmed pillow that gives her a peaceful sleep.
One idea could be that the child has unique magical abilities that neither Fred nor Hermione expected. Maybe the child can communicate with magical creatures in a way no one else can. Another plot could be the secrecy around the child's existence causing all sorts of misunderstandings among the Weasley family and Hermione's friends. For example, they might suspect Hermione of being involved in some dark magic when they notice her acting strangely to protect the secret.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, the baby project is a part of a bigger magical experiment. Fred and Hermione might find that the baby they are dealing with has a connection to an ancient prophecy. They then have to figure out how to raise the baby while also fulfilling the prophecy's requirements. This could lead to a lot of character development for both Fred and Hermione as they face challenges they never expected.
One idea could be that the soulmate tattoos appear when they reach a certain age. Hermione's tattoo might be something related to Fred's love for pranks, like a tiny Weasley's Wizard Wheezes logo. And as they discover their tattoos, they initially deny the connection because they see each other more as friends or comrades in the fight against the dark forces. But as time goes on, they start to notice little things about each other that they didn't before, and the tattoo becomes a symbol of their growing bond.
Maybe the marriage law causes chaos in the wizarding world and Fred and Hermione, being the smart and resourceful ones, decide to use this situation to their advantage. They could start a business together, using their combined skills in magic and charm, all while dealing with their new 'forced' relationship. They gradually fall in love as they face challenges side by side.
