Definitely not. In the world of fanfiction, we should strive for positive and ethical portrayals of relationships. The 'forced baby' concept implies coercion and lack of choice, which is not something that should be glorified or even explored in a positive way. There are so many other positive ways to write about Draco and Hermione's relationship, like them working together towards a common goal at Hogwarts.
One common plotline is the redemption arc. Draco realizes the error of his ways and tries to make amends. Hermione, being the kind - hearted person she is, helps him. During this process, they fall in love and have a baby. Another is the arranged marriage plot. For some magical reason, they are forced to marry, and as they live together, they discover they have more in common than they thought and start a family. A third plotline could be a time - travel scenario where they meet in a different time or dimension, free from the constraints of their original relationship in the story and decide to have a child together.
A common theme in these fanfictions is the upbringing of Scorpius. Draco and Hermione would likely have very different ideas on how to raise him. Draco, coming from a pure - blood family, might have some traditional views on magic education and family values. Hermione, on the other hand, would probably emphasize the importance of knowledge, equality, and kindness. Their differences could lead to some interesting family situations. For instance, they might argue about which school Scorpius should attend. Hermione might prefer Hogwarts, while Draco might consider other wizarding schools. But through it all, they would work together to ensure Scorpius grows up to be a well - rounded wizard.
Scorpius in these fanfictions can also be a character with his own agency. He might not just be a symbol of his parents' relationship but have his own story. Maybe he discovers a new form of magic that was thought to be lost. His upbringing by Draco and Hermione, with their combined knowledge and values, would give him an edge. He could be a bridge between different wizarding communities, using his skills and charm to break down barriers. And his very existence could inspire other characters in the fanfiction to re - evaluate their own beliefs about love, family, and the wizarding world.
One idea could be that their baby girl has a unique magical ability that combines Draco's pure - blood magic heritage with Hermione's brilliant intellect. For example, she might be able to instantly understand and translate ancient spells. Another idea is that she grows up in a world where the old rivalries between Slytherin and Gryffindor are starting to fade, and she becomes a symbol of unity between the two houses. She could be friends with children from all different houses and use her influence to promote harmony at Hogwarts.
In many fanfictions, their relationship is full of tension. They argue a lot about how to raise the baby, what values to instill in it. Hermione wants the baby to be brave and kind like a Gryffindor, while Draco wants the baby to be cunning and ambitious like a Slytherin. These differences in parenting styles create friction between them, but also provide opportunities for character growth and deeper understanding of each other as they work through their issues.
Well, Draco could be very conflicted. On one hand, he has his own pride and his Slytherin upbringing which might tell him to stay away. But if he has developed deeper feelings for Hermione in the fanfic, he might put aside their past differences. He could start by using his family's resources to find a cure or at least better treatments for her cancer. He may also become more protective of her, keeping her away from those who might be unkind about her illness.
For Draco, you can show his growth from his former self. He could be overprotective of the baby due to his past experiences, always fearing that the baby might face the same prejudices he did. With Hermione, her intelligence could be passed on to the baby in cute ways, like she starts teaching the baby simple spells very early. And as a couple, they can develop by learning to trust each other more in parenting decisions.
The baby could be a magical prodigy. Given Draco's Slytherin cunning and Hermione's intelligence and thirst for knowledge, the child might show extraordinary aptitude for spells and potions from a very young age. It could be a great source of pride for them but also attract unwanted attention from those with malicious intents in the wizarding world.
In some fanfictions, the baby is born in a time of danger. There could be dark wizards still out there who want to harm the baby because of its significance. This forces Hermione and Draco to go into hiding and rely on each other for protection. The baby then becomes a source of strength for them, and they grow closer as they fight to keep their family safe. This kind of plotline adds a lot of action and adventure to the story.
