In some fanfictions, Hermione could be in a time - travel situation gone wrong. She travels back in time and accidentally changes something that causes her parents to become a danger in the future. To prevent a catastrophe, she makes the heart - wrenching decision to kill them. Or she could be part of an experiment that goes haywire and it alters her mind in such a way that she no longer recognizes her parents as family but as enemies she has to eliminate.
One possible plotline could be that Hermione is under the influence of a dark spell or curse that makes her lose control and harm her parents. Another could be that she is forced to do it by some dark wizard who has her parents hostage and threatens her with something worse if she doesn't. Or perhaps in a very dark and alternate universe where she has turned to the dark side for some reason and sees her parents as an obstacle to her newfound power.
Well, in some fanfictions like this, it might be due to a dark magic curse that controls Harry's mind and makes him do it. However, this is a very dark and non - canon concept.
In some fanfictions, Hermione might find her parents in a dangerous situation. For example, they could be captured by dark wizards who are trying to use them as leverage against Hermione. This creates a high - stakes rescue mission for Hermione and her friends.
One possible plotline could be that Hermione breaks her leg during a Quidditch match while she's trying to catch the Snitch. Her friends then have to take care of her and help her keep up with her studies. Another could be that she breaks it while exploring a dangerous part of the Forbidden Forest and they have to figure out how to get her safely back to the castle.
One possible plotline could be that her friends, like Harry and Ron, discover her situation through some clues she managed to leave behind. They then use their magic skills and knowledge of the wizarding world to infiltrate the place where she's being held. Another could be that Dumbledore, with his vast wisdom and power, somehow senses her distress and sends a team of trusted Order of the Phoenix members to save her.
In some fanfictions, it could be a case of a powerful curse that forces Harry to act against his will. The curse might be placed on him by a powerful dark wizard who wants to create chaos in the wizarding world. Draco is just an unfortunate victim of this curse as Harry, unable to control himself, kills Draco. This then sets off a chain of events where Harry has to deal with the guilt and the consequences of his actions.
One possible reason could be her involvement in the wizarding world. If her parents are muggles and they find out about the extreme dangers she faces in the magical realm, they might disown her out of fear for her safety. Another reason could be if she starts to show more loyalty to the wizarding community than to her muggle family, making them feel like she no longer belongs with them.
It could be a revenge plot gone too far. Suppose her parents did something in the past that she just found out about, and in her new dark persona, she decides to take the ultimate revenge. Or perhaps she has fallen so deep into the dark side that she no longer values family and sees them as just another obstacle in her path of darkness.
There could be some underlying mental health issues within the family. Perhaps her parents have some undiagnosed conditions that make them more prone to lashing out. In the fanfiction world, this could be explored further, like how Hermione tries to understand and deal with this aspect of her family situation while also dealing with the abuse.
Well, in some fanfictions, it could be that they're under the influence of some dark magic or a spell that makes them turn against Hermione. Or perhaps they're misinformed about her actions at Hogwarts and think she's a bad influence. Also, some writers might use it as a plot device to create a rift and then build a story around Hermione trying to fix things with her parents.
In some fanfictions, it might be due to a broken relationship. For example, if something goes terribly wrong between her and Ron or Harry, she could sink into a deep depression and see no way out. She may feel that she has lost the most important people in her life and can't bear the emotional pain.
