What could be the plot ideas in a Cedric and Hermione married fanfiction?

One plot idea could be that Hermione, after graduating from Hogwarts, returns as a teacher. She and Minerva start to work closely together and gradually fall in love. They face some initial opposition from the wizarding community due to their age difference and the unconventional nature of their relationship, but they overcome it and get married in a small, private ceremony at Hogwarts.

The plot could start with Cedric being pressured by his friends to ask a popular girl to the Yule Ball, but he has his eye on Hermione. When he asks her, she's hesitant but agrees. At the ball, Hermione accidentally spills a drink on Cedric. They go to clean up and end up in a part of the castle they've never been. There, they find an old diary that reveals secrets about past Yule Balls. As they read through it, they grow closer and learn important lessons about Hogwarts' history.

In such a fanfiction, it could also be about how their different houses, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, play a role. The Gryffindor values of bravery and the Hufflepuff values of loyalty might either clash or complement each other. It might show how Hermione's intelligence from Gryffindor and Cedric's fairness from Hufflepuff could be combined to face the challenges that come with this unexpected marriage. For instance, they might have to deal with the reactions of their friends and families, some of whom might not approve of the marriage law or their union.

One possible plot could be that they got married in secret because of the age difference and the reactions they knew they'd get from the wizarding community. They might keep it a secret by using magic to conceal their relationship, like Sirius using his animagus form to visit Hermione without being detected. And they could be working together on some secret mission that led to their feelings growing stronger.

One plot idea could be that they marry in secret to bring peace between the Muggle - born and pure - blood wizarding communities. They face opposition from both sides at first, but their love and determination gradually change people's minds. Another idea is that they are brought together by a magical accident that binds their fates, and as they get to know each other during the process of trying to reverse it, they actually fall in love and decide to stay married. A third idea could be that in a post - war world where everything is in chaos, their marriage is a symbol of hope and a new beginning for the wizarding world.

One possible plot idea could be that Hermione discovers a hidden ghost in Hogwarts that has a connection to an ancient mystery. Maybe the ghost has some lost knowledge that Hermione is eager to learn. She then embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about the ghost's past while also facing challenges from other students or Hogwarts staff who don't believe in her newfound 'ghost friend'.

The contrast between Hermione's studious nature and Cedric's more popular and athletic image makes for an interesting dynamic in fanfiction. Writers can play with this contrast, showing how they might initially clash but then find common ground. Maybe Cedric helps Hermione come out of her shell in social situations, while Hermione helps Cedric with his studies in a more complex area of magic.

Well, in this fanfiction, perhaps there's a time - travel element. Hermione goes back in time and somehow gets involved with Bellatrix in a way that changes their relationship. Bellatrix might be less extreme in her younger days, and Hermione's modern ideas influence her. This could lead to a relationship that blossoms into marriage over time.

One common plot idea is a what - if scenario where Cedric survives the Triwizard Tournament. For example, he and Harry could become closer friends and work together to face other challenges in the wizarding world.

In this fanfiction, Cedric might adopt Harry because he realizes Harry's potential is being wasted due to his difficult circumstances. Cedric could take Harry on trips during holidays, like to magical places around the world. They could bond over their shared love for magic. Cedric could also train Harry in dueling and other magical skills, which would help Harry when facing his enemies. This would create a really interesting relationship between the two characters, different from what we see in the original books.
