Hermione is attracted to Rodolphus in fanfiction. What are some common plot devices used to develop this relationship?

One common plot device is the 'what - if' scenario. For example, what if Hermione had been the one to save Harry from the Dementors instead of his father's Patronus? This can lead to a deeper emotional connection between them. Another is the 'arranged - relationship' plot, where they are forced to pretend to be in a relationship for some magical reason, but end up falling in love for real. Also, the 'jealousy' plot device, where they get jealous of each other's relationships with other characters and realize their true feelings.

One common plot device is the use of mind control or dark magic spells on Hermione. This forces her into the slave role. Another is the idea of Bellatrix using Hermione to get to Harry or the other members of the Order. Sometimes, there's a focus on Hermione's inner strength as she tries to break free from the slavery, which is also a plot device to create tension and drama.

It could start with animosity. Rodolphus has been a Death Eater and Hermione is a Muggle - born, so there would be initial hatred. But if they were forced to work together, say in a dangerous mission to save the wizarding world, they might slowly gain respect for each other. Hermione's knowledge and Rodolphus' experience could be complementary.

A frequently used plot device is the protection of the timeline. Hermione, as a Time Lady, has to safeguard the integrity of the wizarding world's timeline from those who would try to change it for their own gain. Also, the idea of alternate timelines can be explored. For example, what if Voldemort won in a different timeline? Hermione might have to travel there and fix things. There could also be plot devices related to her newfound powers clashing with the existing magical order in the wizarding world.

One plot device might be a double - agent situation. Hermione could be mistaken for a double - agent because of her different abilities and background, and Bond has to figure out the truth. This adds an element of mystery and suspicion to the story.

It's important to remember that fanfiction is a space for creativity. Regarding Hermione's attraction to Rodolphus, perhaps the author wants to show how love or attraction can be unpredictable. Maybe there's a magical or psychological reason. For instance, a spell gone wrong that makes Hermione see Rodolphus in a different light, or she might be attracted to the power he represents in a strange way.

In these fanfictions, writers first need to bridge the gap between their very different personalities and backgrounds. Since Hermione is intelligent and values justice, and Rodolphus was a Death Eater, there's a huge divide. The pregnancy could be the result of an unexpected event that then forces them to communicate. As they deal with the reality of the pregnancy, they might gradually learn to respect each other. Hermione could teach Rodolphus about redemption and he could show her a different side of the wizarding world she hadn't seen before. This way, their relationship grows from a forced coexistence due to the pregnancy to a more complex and nuanced bond.

One common plot device is the use of a love potion or a spell gone wrong that initially brings Hermione and a Malfoy together. Another is the discovery of a long - lost prophecy that dictates their union for the greater good of the wizarding world.

Often, there's a countdown or a time limit involved. Maybe there's a magical condition that if not met within a certain time, her parents' memories will be lost forever. This adds a sense of urgency to the story. Also, the use of Hermione's own guilt and determination as a driving force for her to keep trying in the face of multiple failures is quite common.

Often, Hermione's injury serves as a catalyst for character development. Her own strength and intelligence are put to the test as she has to deal with being injured. She might have to rely on her knowledge of magic in new ways while being incapacitated. And there could be a sub - plot about her relationship with other characters. Maybe she and Ron grow closer as he takes care of her, or she and Harry have deeper conversations about the risks they all face. This all makes for an engaging story.
