It could be a very strange and out - of - the - ordinary fanfiction. Maybe in this fic, the leash and collar are used in a metaphorical sense, like representing some form of control or connection between Harry and Hermione. And the kiss could be a turning point in their relationship within this unique scenario created by the author.
In this fanfiction, it could be that the author is exploring a different kind of relationship dynamic between Harry and Hermione. The leash and collar might not be as literal as they seem at first. They could represent an emotional leash or collar. For instance, Hermione might feel like she is being held back (like being on a leash) in her relationship with Harry because of her own insecurities or some external factors. And the kiss could be the moment when they finally confront and overcome these issues.
One way could be that the leash and collar are part of a magical prank gone wrong. Maybe a spell backfires and Harry or Hermione ends up with a collar and leash situation, and the kiss could be a way to break the spell. It's a very imaginative take on the elements.
Trust is another theme. How does Snape trust or not trust the person who holds the leash, metaphorically speaking? It could be about his trust in the wizarding world, in his students, or in a particular relationship. The collar and leash can be a symbol of that tenuous trust.
One possible plot could be in an alternate universe where Hermione discovers a magical clamp leash that has the power to track and protect Harry during a dangerous mission. They have to figure out how to use it properly without it falling into the wrong hands.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'Draco's New World' where the use of the tail, collar and leash are symbolic of his newfound vulnerability and journey of self - discovery. It's a really unique take on his character.
It's possible that the one she lost the bet to is a rather mischievous character. So, Hermione might find herself in a situation where she has to put up with a lot of pranks while being 'on the leash' so to speak. She could be made to do things that go against her usual studious and rule - abiding nature, which would be quite an interesting twist in the fanfiction.
One possible plot could be that in a darker, alternate version of Hogwarts, there is a mysterious 'collar stripper' who targets Hermione. Maybe it's a new form of dark magic or a person under the influence of some evil force. Hermione, being the intelligent and brave witch she is, tries to figure out the mystery behind this 'collar stripper' and how it relates to the safety of Hogwarts and her friends.
Well, it's a really interesting and strange crossover concept. In this fanfiction, perhaps it could be a situation where the magical world of Harry Potter collides with the superhero world of Spiderman. Maybe Hermione and Harry somehow end up in Spiderman's universe and a kiss could be a moment of cultural exchange or a sign of new alliances. It could also be a really out - of - the - box love story where the different characteristics of the two universes blend in an unexpected way.
The plot could be that a mysterious collar is found in the Forbidden Forest. Hermione, being curious, examines it and accidentally activates it. The collar then starts to affect her magic in strange ways. Harry has to help her figure out how to remove it while also dealing with threats from dark forces who are interested in the collar's power.
Perhaps the collar is a cursed object that Hermione and Harry need to deal with. It could be causing strange behavior among the students. For instance, those who touch it start acting like animals. Hermione would use her extensive knowledge of magic to research a solution, while Harry would be more hands - on, trying to keep the affected students safe.
Some fanfics use unique items like a collar to explore different aspects of the characters. In a story with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, the collar could represent a form of restraint, either self - imposed or magically forced. This could lead to a plot where they have to break free from it, both literally and metaphorically, as they face challenges in the wizarding world.
