I recall a story where Harry becomes a stag, similar to his Patronus, and Hermione turns into an otter. In this fanfic, their Animagus forms play a crucial role in solving the mystery of a hidden magical artifact. The author does a wonderful job of portraying their growth as they master their new abilities.
There's a fanfiction where Hermione's beauty is enhanced through her study of an ancient magic. The story delves into how she discovers this magic while researching in the library. As she masters it, her physical appearance changes, becoming more alluring. This also has an interesting sub - plot where she has to deal with unwanted attention from some characters and how she uses her intelligence to navigate through it.
A common plot is that they become Animagi to help in a battle or against a dark force. Their animal forms give them unique abilities to fight or spy. For example, Harry as a stag might be able to run faster to carry messages, and Hermione as an otter could be very stealthy in water areas.
There's a fanfic called 'Harry and Hermione's Unspoken Bond'. In this story, the author delves into the unspoken attraction between Harry and Hermione. It starts subtly, like Harry finding himself constantly thinking about Hermione in a different light during their Hogwarts days. As the story progresses, it shows how their relationship could have evolved if J.K. Rowling had taken a different narrative path. It's really engaging to read.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'The Werewolf's Secret'. In it, Harry and Hermione find themselves in a situation where they have to deal with a pack of werewolves while uncovering a mystery related to the wizarding world. It has a great plot that really delves into the relationship between the characters and the danger of werewolves.
One great Harry - Hermione third - year fanfiction is 'The Time - Turner Adventure'. It really delves into their relationship during that year. It has a great plot that involves them solving a mystery together that is related to the Marauder's Map. The characterizations are on point, making it a really engaging read.
One interesting fanfic could be 'A New Start'. In it, Harry and Hermione leave England due to the constant reminders of the war and a desire for a fresh start. They travel to a small, idyllic village in France where they begin to explore new forms of magic and build a life away from the prying eyes of the British wizarding world.
There are fanfictions that explore the idea of a parallel universe where Snape and Lily got together. In this universe, Harry and Hermione could have different roles. Maybe Harry grows up in a more stable family environment with Snape as a father - like figure, and Hermione is there to study this unique family dynamic and how it affects the wizarding world.
There's a fanfiction I read where Ron and Hermione are getting married and Harry and Ginny are helping with the preparations. It has some really sweet moments like when Harry gives Ron some advice on married life based on his own experiences with Ginny. And there are also some funny parts where Ginny teases Hermione about her wedding jitters.
In a particular fanfiction, after a big battle, Harry and Hermione find themselves alone in the Great Hall. They start reminiscing about their years at Hogwarts, their first days, the friends they've lost, and how far they've come. It's a very emotional and heart - warming story that really delves into their relationship.
One great fanfiction is 'Harmony's Path'. It beautifully portrays Harry and Hermione's relationship development. They start to realize their deeper feelings during their adventures. The story does a wonderful job of showing how they support each other in ways that are different from their friendships with Ron.
