A possible plot is that the Slytherins notice Hermione being overworked by some of the teachers in a way that is almost abusive. They decide to secretly help her with her tasks. One Slytherin, who is really good at potions, helps her with her potion - making assignments that are piling up. Another group of Slytherins use their influence in the school hierarchy to make the teachers ease up on Hermione. In the process, Hermione discovers that Slytherins are not all bad as she once thought, and they form an unlikely friendship that eventually stops the abuse of over - expecting from her.
One plot idea could be that a group of Slytherins overhear some Gryffindors making cruel remarks about Hermione that border on abuse. Outraged, they step in and form a sort of protective alliance around her. They use their Slytherin cunning to outwit those who are being mean, for example, by tricking them into revealing their true nasty selves in front of the whole school. Another plot could involve a Slytherin who has secretly admired Hermione's intelligence for a long time. When he or she witnesses the abuse, they gather other like - minded Slytherins and start a campaign to change the perception of Hermione in the school. They might start by inviting her to study groups in the Slytherin common room, which is initially met with resistance but gradually changes the minds of many.
Perhaps there's a situation where Hermione is being bullied by some students outside of Gryffindor because of her Muggle - born status, which is a form of abuse. The Slytherins, who have their own code of honor, decide to protect her. They start by intimidating the bullies with their Slytherin reputation. Then, they introduce Hermione to some ancient Slytherin magic that can protect her from such attacks in the future. This not only saves her from the abuse but also gives her new knowledge and a new group of friends among the Slytherins.
Well, in some versions, they might use their knowledge of the castle's secret passages to lead the troll away from Hermione. They could also work together as a team, using their Slytherin cunning to outwit the troll.
Draco Malfoy could be one of the main Slytherin characters. Despite his past differences with Hermione, he might have a change of heart when he witnesses the abuse. He could use his family's influence to stop it. Another could be Pansy Parkinson. She may initially be reluctant, but as she sees the injustice, she steps in. Maybe she uses her sharp tongue to put the abusers in their place.
Minerva would likely first remove Hermione from the immediate dangerous situation. She might take Hermione to her own quarters in Hogwarts, which would be a safe place. For example, she could give Hermione a warm bed to sleep in and some food, providing her with basic necessities and a sense of security.
Well, perhaps he uses his influence in the wizarding world. Maybe he has some connections or knowledge that allows him to intervene and get Hermione out of the abusive situation. For example, he could use his status among the pure - blood families to put pressure on the abusers.
He could use his position of authority. Snape might confront the abuser directly. Since he's a teacher, he has the power to intimidate and put a stop to any immediate harm. He could also give Hermione a safe place to stay, like his own quarters (if it's within the rules of the fanfiction world).
Well, it could start with Hermione showing signs of distress. Harry notices and starts to investigate. He finds out that there's a group of Slytherins who are using dark magic to mentally abuse Hermione, making her doubt her own abilities. Harry then challenges them to a wizard's duel and wins, forcing them to stop their abuse.
One way is through magical means. Slytherins are known for their magical skills. They could cast protective spells around Hermione when Ron is in a foul mood. For instance, a spell that would make Ron unable to approach Hermione without permission. Another way is by using their knowledge of the Hogwarts layout. They could lead Hermione through secret passages away from Ron.
In some fanfictions, Slytherins might protect Hermione from Ron by using their cunning. They could manipulate situations to keep Ron away from her when he's being unreasonable. For example, they might create distractions during an argument between Ron and Hermione, leading Ron astray so he forgets about his anger towards Hermione.
One idea could be Hermione transferring to Beauxbatons and having to adapt to their different teaching methods. She might struggle with the language barrier at first, as Beauxbatons is in France. Another plot could involve her making new friends who introduce her to unique magical traditions in the Beauxbatons curriculum. For example, learning about different types of magical dance that are used for spellcasting.
