Perhaps in the fanfiction, Hermione was involved in some sort of political activism that the Minister of Magic didn't like. Maybe she was fighting for the rights of house - elves in a way that the Ministry thought was too radical and thus they decided to punish her.
In lemon fanfiction, if McGonagall punishes Hermione, it could be due to violating school rules in a more extreme way than in the original books. For example, if Hermione gets involved in inappropriate behavior during a time when she should be studying or following Hogwarts' code of conduct.
One possible reason could be if Hermione breaks a school rule in a rather extreme way. For example, she might be caught using a dangerous or forbidden spell without permission in her pursuit of knowledge. In fanfiction, the headmaster might have to punish her to maintain order in the school.
One possible reason could be a miscommunication. Maybe some evidence is misinterpreted, and Dumbledore thinks Hermione has broken a major rule. For example, if he thought she was involved in some dangerous magic experiments without permission. But this is a hasty conclusion for him to make.
She is often portrayed as extremely intelligent and well - read. In fanfiction, she uses her vast knowledge of magic and non - magic cultures to make informed decisions for the Ministry. For example, she might introduce Muggle - like administrative systems to make the Ministry more efficient.
In fanfiction, Snape might punish Draco for getting involved with the wrong crowd. For example, if Draco starts to associate with Death Eaters - in - training or those with malicious intentions. Also, if Draco fails to complete his academic tasks or cheats in exams, Snape would surely take action. This is because Snape values knowledge and academic integrity in Hogwarts. Additionally, if Draco causes trouble during important school events or ceremonies, Snape would likely punish him to set an example for other students.
One great fanfiction with Hermione as Minister of Magic is 'The New Era of Magic' where she uses her intelligence to reform the Ministry's educational policies. It shows a really interesting take on how she'd handle power and make positive changes in the wizarding world.
There are several possible reasons. Maybe Harry discovers a powerful and dangerous magical artifact and starts toying with it without proper guidance, which Dumbledore sees as a huge risk. Or perhaps Harry spreads rumors or secrets that Dumbledore has entrusted to him, and Dumbledore feels the need to discipline him to protect the safety and stability of Hogwarts. Fanfic authors often use such situations to show the complex relationship between Dumbledore and Harry and how they navigate through difficulties.
Well, in some fanfictions, Dumbledore might want to punish Hermione if she goes against the school rules in a way that he thinks is particularly serious. For example, if she delves too deep into dangerous magic without proper authorization.
One possible reason could be that Snape fails to deliver crucial information. Voldemort is a very demanding and unforgiving master. If Snape doesn't give him accurate details about the Order of the Phoenix's plans, for example, Voldemort would surely be enraged and punish him.
In a more extreme case in the fanfiction, Dumbledore might assign Hermione to a special project that is both difficult and dangerous as a form of punishment. For example, he could send her to study a group of cursed magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. This would be a punishment that not only tests her skills but also her courage.
