In the fanfiction, Hermione might start writing in a journal. By putting her thoughts on paper, she can better understand them. She could write about her fears, her insecurities, and her reasons for having suicidal thoughts. As she writes, she might start to see solutions or at least a glimmer of hope. Maybe she realizes that her future is full of possibilities that she hadn't considered before, and this could help her move away from those dark thoughts.
The fanfiction could introduce a new character, perhaps a wise old wizard or witch, who has experience with mental health issues. This character could guide Hermione through her dark thoughts. They could teach her coping mechanisms, like meditation or positive self - talk. For instance, they could tell her 'When those negative thoughts come, replace them with something positive about yourself.' This new perspective could be a turning point for Hermione in the fanfiction.
One possible trigger could be academic pressure. Hermione is known for her studiousness, and if she were to fail at something academically in the fanfiction, like not being able to solve a difficult magical riddle or getting a bad grade in a crucial subject, it could send her into a downward spiral. Another trigger might be feeling isolated. If she has a falling - out with Harry and Ron, or if she feels like she doesn't fit in with the wizarding community in some way, she could start having suicidal thoughts.
One way to address it could be through the power of friendship. For example, Harry and Ron could notice Hermione's distress early on. They might then make an extra effort to include her in all their activities, constantly reassuring her of her value to them and the group. This could slowly start to pull Hermione out of her suicidal thoughts.
She could be reimagined as a demigod with her intelligence being a gift from the gods. Maybe she has a special connection to Athena, the goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology. This would enhance her already remarkable academic abilities and her problem - solving skills could be seen as divinely inspired.
It's a really strange concept. In the original 'Harry Potter' universe, Hermione is firmly on the side of good. But in fanfiction, if she's a Death Eater, it could be a result of a time - travel gone wrong. She might have made a different choice in an alternate timeline that led her down the dark path. But again, this is very much against the essence of her character.
Well, one way it could work is by having Hermione's love for knowledge translate into an interest in the Shadowhunter world. Maybe she stumbles upon some Shadowhunter lore in the Hogwarts library. Since she's always eager to learn, she becomes a huge fan. She could start comparing the magic in the Shadowhunter universe with that of the wizarding world, like how their runes are different from spells.
One possible plot could be that Hermione's kid inherits her love for knowledge. Maybe the story shows the kid starting at Hogwarts and struggling to live up to the expectations of being Hermione Granger's child. They could face pressure from peers and teachers alike, but ultimately find their own path in the magical world, perhaps by specializing in a new area of magic that Hermione hadn't explored much.
One possibility is that in the fanfiction, there was some sort of magical accident or spell that resulted in Hermione having a baby. It could be a plot device to explore new aspects of her character, like how she copes with unexpected motherhood. Or perhaps it's a time - travel scenario where she has a baby with a different character from a different era, which would open up all kinds of interesting storylines.
In the fanfiction, Dumbledore might play a crucial role. He is known for his wisdom and care for students. He could detect what's going on with Hermione and use his influence to ensure her safety. He could perhaps arrange for some sort of magical protection or even intervention in her family situation, like counseling for her parents if possible.
We can start by promoting mental health awareness. If more people understand the signs of mental distress, they can reach out to those in need. Also, building strong social support networks is key. Friends and family should be there for each other. For example, having regular check - ins with loved ones can make a big difference.
In fanfiction, anything can be possible. Maybe a time - travel or a powerful magic spell gone wrong could be used to create this strange relationship. For example, if there was a spell that messed with people's memories and lineages, it could make Hermione seem like Bellatrix's daughter.
