She can develop by becoming more open - minded. The encounter with the Big Bad Wolf challenges her preconceived notions of what is good and bad in the magical world.

Hermione could develop by learning to trust her instincts more, especially when it comes to the Big Bad Wolf. Instead of always relying on books and knowledge, she starts to understand the value of gut feelings. For example, in a situation where the wolf seems dangerous but her instincts say he's not, she acts on that.
Hermione's character can be developed by showing her resilience. For example, she could use her knowledge of magic to protect herself from further abuse and find ways to expose her abuser. This would highlight her intelligence and determination.
She could be developed by showing her struggle with the more physical aspects of being an Auror. Since she's known for her intelligence, it would be interesting to see her train hard to master combat skills, like dueling. This would show her determination and growth.
In such fanfiction, Hermione could develop her understanding of the dark side of the wizarding world more deeply. Through her interactions with Lucius, she gets to see the inner workings of the dark wizards.

Her relationships with other characters could also change. She might become more isolated from her friends at first, but then find new allies among unexpected characters.

In this fanfiction, Hermione's development might involve her struggling with the moral implications of being associated with Lucifer. She is a character with a strong sense of right and wrong, but her interest in Lucifer could make her question those boundaries.

She could also become more secretive, as her new interest might not be well - received by her peers and professors.
Hermione could be developed by showing her fear of Dementors and then gradually overcoming it. For example, at first, she might freeze when faced with a Dementor, but as the story progresses, she learns to face her fear head - on. This would show her growth as a character. Another way is by having her study Dementors intensively. Her thirst for knowledge could lead her to discover new things about them, which in turn could make her a more well - rounded character in the fanfiction.

One idea could be that the Big Bad Wolf is actually under a curse and Hermione tries to break it using her magic skills.
