It could be that in the fanfic's alternate universe, there are some political machinations at play. The Malfoy family might be in a power struggle and see Hermione, with her intelligence and influence among the non - pure - blood wizards, as a means to gain an upper hand. Draco, being pushed by his family, forces Hermione into marriage. But this would surely lead to a lot of internal conflict within Draco as he has his own feelings towards Hermione which are a mix of admiration and the traditional Malfoy prejudice.
In the fanfic, perhaps Draco has some sort of leverage over Hermione's future at Hogwarts or in the wizarding world. He could be using this to blackmail her into marriage. For example, he might have found out a secret about Hermione that could get her expelled or ostracized. Hermione, on the other hand, would be trying to outwit Draco and find a way to expose his wrongdoings while also getting out of the forced marriage situation.
One way this could develop is through a dark magic plot. Maybe Draco is under some sort of spell or family obligation that he thinks can only be fulfilled by marrying Hermione. He might use threats against her friends or family in the fanfic to force her into the marriage. However, Hermione being the strong - willed character she is, would constantly be looking for a way to break free from this forced union.
In some fanfiction, if Draco forces Hermione to marry him, it could lead to a very dark and complex storyline. Hermione, being a strong - willed character, would likely fight back in some way. Maybe she'd initially resist and try to escape. It could also involve other characters like Harry and Ron coming to her rescue. However, some fanfic authors might explore a more nuanced relationship where over time, Hermione might find unexpected understanding or even a strange connection with Draco despite the forced start.
The story could start with Naruko feeling completely trapped. She loves her freedom and suddenly being forced to marry Sasuke is like a nightmare for her. She might try to run away from the situation. Sasuke might also not be too happy about it, as he has his own past traumas and goals. However, as they are forced to be in close proximity, they might start to have small conversations. Through these exchanges, they begin to realize that they have misjudged each other in the past. Slowly, they could start to care for each other. Maybe Naruko starts to see the pain behind Sasuke's cold exterior, and Sasuke starts to admire Naruko's unwavering spirit. This could then develop into a deeper connection, changing the nature of their forced marriage into a more positive relationship.
Well, one way it could develop is that Naruto initially resists the marriage. He might be angry at being forced into it and try to find a way out. But as time goes on, he starts to see Hinata's good qualities, like her kindness and loyalty. Maybe he begins to understand that there could be something good about this arranged situation.
In some fanfiction, this could happen due to a power play. Maybe Draco's family still has some influence and he uses it to force Harry. It could also be a result of a misunderstanding or a dark plot twist where Draco believes he has no other choice to get what he wants.
Hermione would be furious. She's a strong - minded and independent witch. She would probably immediately start looking for ways to escape or fight back. She might try to use her knowledge of magic to find a loophole in whatever situation Draco has created to force her into marriage.
She might use her intelligence. Hermione could try to outwit Draco by finding loopholes in whatever is forcing this marriage, like in the wizarding laws or contracts. For example, she could research ancient magic laws that could nullify such a forced union.
If Lucius wants Draco to marry Hermione, it could lead to a lot of political implications within the wizarding world. The Malfoys are a powerful pure - blood family, and Hermione's friendship with Harry Potter and association with Dumbledore's side could be seen as a way for Lucius to gain some sort of advantage. For Draco, this could be a way out of the dark path he was on in the original story. He could become more of an ally to Hermione and her friends. And Hermione might find herself in a very strange position of having to balance her own values with the expectations of the Malfoy family.
One way this could develop is that Voldemort sees an opportunity to use Hermione's intelligence for his own gain through this union. He might think that by having Draco marry Hermione, he can control the magical knowledge she has. Draco, on the other hand, might initially resist as he has his own pure - blood ideals. But under Voldemort's pressure, he could be forced into it. Hermione would surely fight against it, using her wits and the support of her friends like Harry and Ron to find a way out of this strange and unwanted situation.
She would most likely be furious. Hermione is a smart and independent character. She would immediately start planning her escape. She might use her knowledge of magic to try and outwit Draco.
One way this plot could develop is through a political or family power play. In the wizarding world, marriages are sometimes used to strengthen alliances. Maybe the Malfoy family and some powerful wizarding families or political forces force the situation. Harry, being female in this fanfic, might initially resist but then gradually find some unexpected common ground with Draco as she gets to know him better in this forced situation.
