Another way is through a time - travel plot. Hermione could go back in time and end up in a situation where she has to interact with a younger Lucius. She could try to change his views on blood purity from the start. This would create a complex relationship as she is both an outsider in that time and a force for change, and Lucius would be initially resistant but slowly influenced by her.
Their relationship could start with hostility. Lucius might initially try to undermine Hermione's efforts in some wizarding matter, but she outsmarts him every time. This could gradually turn into a begrudging respect as he realizes her intelligence. For example, in a magical research competition.
In a fanfiction, they could be brought together by a common enemy. Say a dark wizard who is a threat to both the pure - bloods and the Muggle - borns. Hermione and Lucius have to team up to defeat this foe. During their time together, they start to share their magical knowledge and experiences, which leads to a deeper understanding and a strange sort of friendship or more.
At first, Lucius might be shocked by Hermione's flirting. He's used to a certain type of pure - blooded behavior, and Hermione, as a Muggle - born, is completely different. But as she continues to flirt, he could become intrigued. He might start to see her in a new light, not just as a Mudblood but as an intelligent and alluring witch.
Realistically, it could be a slow - burn relationship. They might start as adversaries, with Lucius still holding some of his old - fashioned views. But through a series of events, like Hermione saving Lucius' life or vice versa. This would make Lucius re - evaluate his views. They would then begin to communicate more, share their stories, and find common ground. Their relationship would grow over time, and when they decide to have a baby, it would be a natural progression of their new - found love.
Well, it might start off very coldly. Lucius would be reluctant to accept help from a mudblood like Hermione in his eyes. But Hermione, being persistent, would keep pushing to help him. As she starts to break down his walls, Lucius might find himself drawn to her in a strange way. Maybe he starts to see her as a powerful ally rather than an inferior. And Hermione might start to understand the pressures that made Lucius the way he was before. This could lead to a relationship that has elements of mutual understanding, respect, and perhaps even a bit of attraction as they both discover new sides of each other during their time together.
One way could be through a dark magic spell gone wrong. Maybe Lucius was trying to create a servant using a forbidden spell and it backfired, turning Hermione into his pet in a way that she retained her intelligence but was bound to him. This would create a very complex and tense relationship within the fanfiction world.
Their relationship might develop through a series of intellectual debates. Hermione is known for her sharp mind, and Lucius is no fool either. They could start arguing about topics like blood purity and the rights of different magical beings. These debates could lead to a grudging respect for each other's viewpoints, and from there, a more positive relationship could start to form.
In the fanfiction, to develop their relationship, Hermione could first study about wolves in general and the magical aspects related to this particular wolf. This knowledge would help her approach it in a more understanding way. They could bond over a common goal, such as finding a lost magical artifact that the wolf seems to be guarding. As they search together, they learn about each other's strengths and weaknesses. Hermione might also use her empathy to understand the wolf's feelings, which deepens their connection.
Their relationship can be developed through shared interests. For example, if they both discover a love for a particular type of magic or a rare magical creature. This common interest can be the starting point for them to interact more and break down the initial barriers.
At first, their relationship might be filled with distrust. Hermione would be suspicious of Lucius' motives since he has a history of being a Death Eater. Lucius, on the other hand, might see Hermione as just a task he has to fulfill. But as they interact more, for example, when Lucius helps Hermione with her studies of some complex dark magic related knowledge (but in a non - evil way), they start to understand each other better.
In fanfiction, it might be due to a redemption arc for Lucius. He realizes the error of his ways in the wizarding war and starts to view Hermione, a muggle - born with great talent, as someone worthy of protection. He could also be protecting her from other dark wizards who might want to harm her because of her intelligence and influence among the light - sided wizards. This protection could also be a form of self - atonement for his past misdeeds against the muggle - borns.
One possible reason could be the contrast between them. Lucius is from an old, pure - blood wizarding family with dark tendencies, while Hermione is a Muggle - born with strong moral values. This contrast creates an interesting dynamic that fanfiction writers like to explore.
