Maybe Draco discovers that Severus is being framed for a crime he didn't commit. He then approaches Hermione for help as she is known for her intelligence and problem - solving skills. Together, they start to gather evidence to clear Severus's name and also protect him from those who want to harm him.
One possibility could be that Draco and Hermione realize Severus is in danger due to some dark magic plot. They might put aside their differences because they both understand Severus's importance. Hermione's vast knowledge of magic combined with Draco's insider knowledge of the Death Eaters' ways could lead to a unique rescue plan.
One consequence could be a change in the public's perception of Hermione. Some might see her as a hero for standing up against an unjust imprisonment, while others might view her actions as traitorous, especially if they believe Draco was truly guilty. This could create a divide among the wizarding community.
One great Hermione and Draco saving fanfiction is 'A Different Kind of Bond'. In this story, they are forced to work together to save Hogwarts from a new dark threat. It has a really interesting plot where their initial dislike for each other gradually turns into respect and more. Another one is 'Saving Each Other'. Here, Draco is in a dangerous situation, and Hermione steps in to save him, which sets off a chain of events that changes their relationship completely. There's also 'The Rescue Mission' where they team up to save a group of students held hostage by a rogue wizard, and during this, their feelings for each other start to emerge in a very engaging way.
Snape would probably be very stern with Draco. He might give him a severe scolding and deduct points from Slytherin. Snape is a strict teacher and he won't tolerate such behavior from his own house students.
Well, in these fanfictions, when they are involved in a saving scenario, it forces them to rely on each other. Let's say in a story where they have to save a magical creature together. They have to communicate and use each other's strengths. Draco, with his knowledge of the dark arts (which can be used for good in this case), and Hermione, with her vast book - learning and quick thinking. This reliance on one another makes them see the good in the other person. It chips away at their preconceived notions. Draco might start to admire Hermione's intelligence and courage, and Hermione might see Draco's hidden kindness and potential for change. This shift in perception gradually changes their relationship from animosity to something more positive, like a partnership or a romantic relationship.
One popular theme could be the idea of redemption for Draco. In many fanfictions, he is shown to overcome his family's dark past and prejudice. Another theme might be the power of friendship or love that develops between Hermione and Draco, despite their initial differences. It could also explore how they navigate the complex wizarding world together, facing challenges from their respective houses and the general wizarding society.
One reason could be the traditional rivalry from the original series. In the books, they are from different houses, Slytherin and Gryffindor, which have a long - standing feud. Fanfiction writers might play on this by having Draco be mean as a continuation of that in - built tension. Another aspect could be his family upbringing. The Malfoy family has certain pure - blood supremacist views, and Hermione being a Muggle - born might be a target for Draco's meanness in fanfictions.
In a fanfiction with this theme, it could be set post - war. Draco and Hermione find themselves in a situation where they are on the run from some dark wizards who are after them for different reasons. During their escape, Hermione gets wet and cold. Draco, having a change of heart after the war, gives her his warm cloak. This act of kindness begins to break down the barriers between them, and they start to have deeper conversations, realizing they have more in common than they thought.
Perhaps there's a fanfiction where a powerful and dark wizard from outside the school is targeting Muggle - borns. Hermione, being a Muggle - born, is understandably afraid. Draco, who has always had a complex relationship with Hermione, is conflicted. He doesn't want to see her hurt because, deep down, he has feelings for her. He ends up using his Slytherin cunning to outwit the dark wizard and keep Hermione safe.
