One possible fanfiction could start with Hermione and Theodore Nott being paired up for a difficult potions project. At first, they're both a bit wary of each other. Hermione is used to working with Gryffindors, and Theodore has his Slytherin pride. But as they start to experiment with the potions ingredients, they begin to see that they have more in common than they thought. Their shared love for knowledge and academic excellence starts to break down the barriers between them.
One possible motive could be envy. Maybe Nott is jealous of Draco's relationship with his familiar and wants to hurt Draco by taking away something he cares about.
One common theme is the exploration of class differences. The Nott family is often seen as a pure - blood family in the Harry Potter universe, and Hermione is a Muggle - born witch. So, the fanfiction might deal with how they overcome or struggle with this difference.
One common theme is redemption. Given his family's ties to the Dark Arts in the Harry Potter universe, many fanfics explore Theodore's journey to redeem himself or his family name.
Love and romance are also common themes. Writers often pair Theodore with different characters, either from Slytherin or other houses. It could be a slow - burn romance where he gradually falls for someone while dealing with his own insecurities and the expectations of his Slytherin upbringing.
One common theme is the idea of breaking stereotypes. Hermione is a Gryffindor known for her intelligence and determination, while Nott is a Slytherin. Fanfictions often explore how they overcome the typical Gryffindor - Slytherin divide. Another theme is self - discovery. As they interact, both characters learn more about themselves.
One common theme is friendship. Since they are from different backgrounds (Harry being the hero and Nott from a family with Death Eater ties), exploring their friendship is popular. For example, in many fanfics, they learn to trust each other despite their initial misgivings.
I really liked the fanfic 'Fem Harry and Nott's Alliance'. It shows how they team up against common enemies in Hogwarts. The way the author portrays fem Harry's strength and Theodore's intelligence working together is quite engaging. It also has some really good plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Another theme is friendship. They often show Nott forming unexpected friendships, perhaps with characters from different houses. This is a contrast to the often - divided houses in the original story. For example, he might become friends with a Gryffindor, which is quite an interesting concept to explore.
