Maybe Lucius has a secret admiration for Hermione's tenacity. In a plotline, he could be under a curse that makes him see the good in those he once despised. This leads to him being charming towards Hermione. She, in turn, is initially suspicious but gradually starts to question her own views of him as he continues to be kind and helpful in unexpected ways.
Another plotline could involve an alternate universe where the Malfoys were never as bigoted. Lucius, being the shrewd character he is, sees Hermione's potential and is charmed by her. He then tries to recruit her into some sort of magical project. This creates a lot of internal conflict for Hermione as she has to decide whether to trust Lucius or not, considering his family's reputation in the original story.
In this type of fanfiction, it could start with Hermione being an orphan for some reason. Lucius, seeing her magical abilities and intelligence, decides to take her in. At first, Hermione would be very much out of place in the Malfoy Manor. However, as time passes, she might start to change the Malfoy family's views little by little. Lucius would have to deal with the reactions of other pure - blood families, and Hermione would face challenges from both the Malfoy family's expectations and the outside world's perception of her being in the Malfoy household.
Sure, such fanfictions exist. A plot could involve Hermione finding out by accident, like through a long - lost family heirloom or a magical revelation. This discovery could send shockwaves through the wizarding community. Lucius might try to keep it a secret at first to protect his reputation, but as events unfold, he is forced to acknowledge Hermione publicly. This could lead to a reevaluation of the Malfoy family's standing in the wizarding world, and Hermione would have to deal with newfound family members, some of whom may not be welcoming, all while still being true to her friends and her own values.
Perhaps there's a plot where Lucius Malfoy is in a situation where he owes Hermione a debt. This could lead to a strange relationship where he has to follow her around and protect her. As time passes, he starts to develop unexpected feelings for her.
In some fanfictions, Lucius might be forced into a situation where he has to rely on Hermione. For example, his family's fortune or status is at risk, and Hermione is the only one with the knowledge or skills to help. As he works with her, he discovers her many good qualities and becomes nice to her. This could lead to a whole series of events where they team up to face other threats in the wizarding world, all while their relationship evolves from one of necessity to one of mutual respect.
Sure. A lot of fanfiction writers like to explore unique relationships. In the case of Lucius Malfoy being charming to Hermione, it could be part of a plot where Lucius has a change of heart or is under some sort of spell or alternate influence. It's an interesting concept that allows for new storylines and character interactions, but it also stirs up some controversy among die - hard Harry Potter fans.
One possible plotline could be that Hermione is magically bound to Lucius in some way during a complex spell gone wrong. This forces them to interact and gradually, she discovers a different side of him that she's attracted to. For example, he might show kindness towards a house - elf in front of her, which challenges her pre - conceived notions of him.
One possible plotline could be a magical accident that causes Lucius to become pregnant. This could lead to him having to hide it from the other Death Eaters and the wizarding society in general, creating a lot of secrecy and tension. Another could be a spell gone wrong during some dark magic experiment. He would then have to deal with the physical and emotional changes while still trying to maintain his status in the wizarding world.
One possible plotline could be that Lucius realizes Hermione's importance in the wizarding world's future. Maybe he discovers a prophecy that involves her and decides to protect her from the dark forces that also threaten his own family. Another could be that Hermione somehow saves Lucius' son Draco from a dangerous situation, and out of gratitude, Lucius feels compelled to protect her.
This could be a really interesting concept in fanfiction. Fanfic writers often like to play with established relationships and create new ones. If Hermione is Lucius Malfoy's niece, it could bring a whole new layer of conflict and drama. For example, how would Hermione deal with the Malfoy's pure - blood ideology? And how would the other characters react to this unexpected family connection? It could lead to some great character - development stories and new adventures within the wizarding world.
One possible scenario could be in a post - war situation. Hermione might be feeling the after - effects of the war, the loss and trauma. Lucius, having lost a lot himself and perhaps having a change of heart, could offer her some words of comfort. He might share his own experiences of loss and how he's trying to rebuild his life, which in turn gives Hermione a new perspective on her own pain.
