One common scenario is when they are forced to team up in a magical tournament or competition within Hogwarts. They initially resist but soon realize that they need to cooperate to succeed. Another is when they both get involved in a mystery related to the school or the wizarding world. They start sharing information and find that they can trust each other.
A typical scenario could be that Draco gets into trouble with some dark magic influence, and Hermione, being the one who always stands for what's right, decides to help him out. In the process, Draco sees Hermione's kindness and Hermione sees Draco's vulnerability. This experience brings them closer and they become friends. Also, it could be that they are both interested in a rare magical artifact or spell. While researching it, they interact more and form a friendship.
A common scenario in these fanfictions is when they are both involved in a secret society or club at Hogwarts that promotes inter - house unity. Here, they discover that they have more in common than they thought. Also, the scenario where they are the only ones who can solve a mystery within the school walls is quite popular. They must put aside their differences and use their combined knowledge to figure things out.
In many fanfics, their friendship often starts in an unexpected way. Maybe they are paired for a school project at Hogwarts. At first, they are full of distrust and dislike, but as they start to work together, they gradually find that they have some common interests, like a passion for advanced magic theory. They begin to respect each other's intelligence and magical abilities, which is the first step in building their friendship.
A really interesting scenario would be if they are trapped in a magically sealed room in the Manor. With no way out, they are forced to talk about their past misunderstandings. As they do, they realize how much they misjudged each other. They also find some old potions ingredients in the room and Hermione, being brilliant at potions, tries to brew a way out while Draco assists her in a rather clumsy but endearing way.
In a fanfiction, they might grin at each other during a wizarding duel tournament. Maybe they are secretly on the same side against a common enemy, and that shared secret makes them exchange grins of understanding.
A common scenario is Draco using his family's wealth to do something grand. For instance, he might donate a large sum of money to renovate the Hogwarts library, knowing Hermione's love for books. This would not only improve the school but also show Hermione that he can use his resources for good.
Well, in such a fanfic, it might show how Draco and Hermione's relationship evolves over time. It could start with them being at odds due to their different houses and family backgrounds. But as the story progresses, they might find common ground. For example, they could both be interested in a particular area of magic that forces them to work together, and through that, their feelings start to change.
One possible scenario could be that Hermione and Draco are both very nervous at first. They might have a small, private dinner in their new home before the night truly begins. Draco could be hesitant to show his true feelings, but Hermione's warmth slowly breaks down his walls. They might share stories about their past misunderstandings and how they overcame them to get to this point.
A scenario could be that Draco and Hermione are forced to work together on a project by a teacher who doesn't know about their animosity. At first, they are reluctant, but as they start working, they discover new sides of each other. Their secret relationship begins to form as they realize they have more in common than they thought. They might start sneaking off to empty classrooms to continue their work privately. Also, in some fanfictions, they might discover that they are both being targeted by a common enemy. This makes them rely on each other more and strengthens their secret bond as they try to figure out who is after them and why, all while keeping their relationship under wraps.
Another scenario is during dangerous magical experiments or when they are exploring old, dangerous parts of Hogwarts. Draco, being more familiar with the darker aspects of magic in some cases, will be protective of Hermione who is always eager to learn and might not fully grasp the risks. In these fanfictions, he'll stop her from doing something too risky or help her out when things go wrong.
One scenario could be in a post - war Hogwarts. The school is being rebuilt and Draco, trying to atone for his past, and Hermione, seeing his efforts, gradually grow closer. One day, in the newly - renovated library, as they reach for the same old, rare magical book, their hands touch, and that moment of connection leads to their first kiss.
