It's also about the time - travel or alternate universe concepts often used. For example, if Hermione goes back in time, she has the knowledge of the future. How will she use it to deal with Tom? Will she be able to change the course of history? All these possibilities make the fanfiction really engaging. And the power dynamic between them, with Hermione's magic being more learned but Tom's having a natural, dark power, adds another layer of complexity.
The exploration of their personalities is a big draw. Hermione is logical, book - smart, and empathetic. Tom Riddle Jr is intelligent but also cold and power - hungry. When you put them together in a fan - created story, you can see how their different traits play off each other. Writers can explore what would happen if Hermione tried to educate Tom, or if Tom tried to manipulate Hermione. There are so many different angles that can be explored in this type of fanfiction.
The main thing is the clash of two very different characters from different time periods. Hermione is a modern - day, well - educated and moral witch, while Tom Riddle is a complex and troubled young wizard from the past who will later become Voldemort. When they meet through time travel, it creates a whole new dynamic. Their interactions can range from Hermione trying to reform Tom, to Tom being intrigued by Hermione's knowledge and power.
The concept of an OC being pregnant in the world of Tom Riddle also allows for a lot of creativity. Writers can explore different magical elements related to pregnancy, like how magic might affect the unborn child or how the OC uses magic to protect herself during pregnancy. There are also social aspects to explore, such as how the other characters in the wizarding world react to this unusual situation, which makes these fanfictions full of intrigue.
One aspect that makes Ron x Tom Riddle fanfiction interesting is the 'forbidden' nature of the pairing. In the original Harry Potter universe, they are on opposite sides. Ron is a Gryffindor, a defender of good, and Tom Riddle becomes Voldemort, the ultimate evil. So, when fanfiction writers bring them together, it's like exploring uncharted territory. Writers can play with the idea of redemption, love conquering evil, or just the chaos that such an unexpected pairing would cause in the wizarding world.
One great Tom Riddle Jr and Hermione fanfiction is 'A Twist in Time'. In this story, Hermione somehow gets transported back in time and has to deal with a young Tom Riddle. It's really interesting to see how their different personalities clash and interact. The author does a great job of portraying Hermione's intelligence and Tom's growing darkness.
It allows for new storylines. For example, in some fanfictions, a female Harry Potter might be able to understand Tom Riddle's past in a way that the male Harry couldn't. This could lead to attempts at redemption or different forms of conflict. There are also fanfictions that explore a romantic relationship between them, which is a huge departure from the canon and thus very interesting.
These fanfictions often explore alternative universes. They can take the familiar Harry Potter world and twist it in unexpected ways. For example, a dark fem Harry might have different motives, goals, and ways of interacting with Tom Riddle. It's like seeing a different side of the magical world we thought we knew well. Also, the exploration of dark themes and the psychological aspects of the characters can be really fascinating. How would a dark fem Harry deal with Tom Riddle's manipulations? And vice versa? All these elements make it very intriguing.
It's also appealing because it allows for a lot of creativity. Fanfiction writers can take these two well - known characters and place them in different scenarios. For example, they could be in a world where the rules of magic are different, or where there are new threats that force them to work together. This freedom to create new stories around them is really exciting. Moreover, it gives readers a chance to explore the 'what - if' scenarios that the original books didn't cover. For instance, what if Hermione had been sorted into Slytherin and had a closer connection to the dark arts like Riddle? This kind of exploration makes the fanfiction very appealing.
Well, first of all, the mystery surrounding Tom Riddle's past is a big draw. When Ginny travels back in time to that era, it's like peeling back the layers of his origin story. Ginny herself is a strong character, and seeing her thrown into a situation with Tom Riddle, a character with such a complex and dark future, makes for a great story. There are so many possibilities - will she be able to stop him from becoming Voldemort? Or will she end up making things worse? All these questions and more make Ginny Weasley and Tom Riddle time travel fanfiction so interesting.
It's the idea of subverting the traditional narrative. We are so used to the story of Harry Potter as a hero fighting against Voldemort (Tom Riddle). But in fem dark fanfiction, we get to see a different side of things. Maybe fem Harry has a connection to the dark arts that she didn't know about before. Or perhaps she and Tom Riddle could have a relationship that's not just pure hatred. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the wizarding world that J.K. Rowling created, and that's what makes it so fascinating.
Well, there could be a plot where Hermione, through a spell gone wrong, enters a dimension where Tom Riddle won the wizarding war and rules with an iron fist. She has to pretend to be on his side to survive and in the process, she discovers some redeeming qualities in him that she didn't expect. Another idea is that Hermione is researching a new form of magic that was only experimented with by Tom Riddle. As she tries to replicate his experiments, she accidentally summons a part of his spirit and they engage in a battle of wits and magic. And yet another plot could be that Hermione is sent on a mission to stop a new dark wizard who is using Tom Riddle's old methods, and in order to understand the enemy better, she uses a time - turner to go back and study Tom Riddle directly, which leads to unexpected interactions and consequences.
