In some fanfictions, during the Triwizard Tournament or other school - wide competitions, if Hermione is in danger from the tasks or from rival students, Draco becomes protective. He might not show it openly at first, but as the situation progresses, he'll take steps to ensure her safety, like warning her about a trap in a task or standing up to a bully who is trying to harm her during a competition.
Another scenario is during dangerous magical experiments or when they are exploring old, dangerous parts of Hogwarts. Draco, being more familiar with the darker aspects of magic in some cases, will be protective of Hermione who is always eager to learn and might not fully grasp the risks. In these fanfictions, he'll stop her from doing something too risky or help her out when things go wrong.
One common scenario is in school settings. When other students are bullying Harry or trying to harm him, Draco steps in to protect. Another could be during dangerous magical events. For instance, when a dark magic spell is about to hit Harry, Draco uses his own magic to shield Harry.
One common scenario is during battles. For example, in many fanfictions, when facing dark wizards, Harry positions himself in front of Hermione to shield her from spells. He uses his own body as a physical barrier, showing his extreme protectiveness.
One scenario could be when Hermione is being bullied by some Slytherin students for her Muggle - born status. Remus steps in and uses his authority as a teacher or his own intimidating presence to stop them. Another could be during a dangerous magical experiment where Hermione is a bit too eager to try something new. Remus, aware of the risks, stops her and stands guard to make sure she doesn't get into trouble.
Imagine a situation in fanfiction where there is a powerful magical artifact that is attracting unwanted attention. Hermione, being one of the few who can understand its significance and power, is in danger. Sirius Black, who has a sense of loyalty to those he cares about, would become her bodyguard of sorts. He would stay by her side, use his magic to create protective barriers, and fend off any who try to harm Hermione or take the artifact from her. He might also teach her some defensive magic techniques that are not taught in the regular Hogwarts curriculum to better equip her for such dangerous situations.
One common scenario is Draco protecting Harry from other Slytherins who might still hold grudges against Harry. Another is Draco standing up for Harry during dangerous situations in the wizarding world, like when there are threats from dark wizards. And sometimes it's about Draco protecting Harry from the emotional harm caused by the wizarding society's expectations.
One common scenario could be in the face of other students' bullying. Snape might subtly step in and stop the bullies without making it too obvious. For example, he could give the bullies extra assignments or detention, which would indirectly protect Hermione from their taunts.
One common scenario is when they are out on a quest. Arthur always puts Merlin's safety first, even if it means putting himself at risk. For instance, in a dangerous forest filled with magical creatures, Arthur would stand in front of Merlin to face any threats.
One great example is 'The Protector's Pledge'. In this fanfiction, Draco finds himself drawn to protect Hermione from the dark forces at Hogwarts. It shows how their relationship evolves from animosity to a deep bond. Another is 'Shielding Hermione' where Draco defies his family's expectations to keep Hermione safe during a dangerous time in the wizarding world.
One example could be a fanfiction where Draco stands up for Hermione when other Slytherins are taunting her about her Muggle - born status. He might use his influence as a pure - blood Slytherin to make them stop. Another instance could be in a dangerous situation, like when there's a dark wizard threat in Hogwarts. Draco secretly helps Hermione by warning her or providing her with information to keep her safe.
One common scenario could be that Draco realizes his past mistakes and starts to show his changed self to Hermione. He might start by being kind to her in small ways, like helping her with her studies in a subject he's good at. Another could be that he defends her when others are being mean. Maybe he stands up to some pure - blood supremacists who are bad - mouthing Hermione, which starts to change her view of him.
