Luna Lovegood has dabbled in this genre as well. Her works are known for their dreamy and whimsical nature. In her fanfictions, the magical creatures often have a spiritual connection to Draco and Hermione. For instance, she wrote a story where they are guided by a group of nifflers with special powers to find a hidden magical artifact, and during this journey, their relationship blossoms in a very unique way.
A plot could involve a shape - shifting creature that takes on the form of Draco and Hermione at different times. This causes chaos in Hogwarts as everyone is confused. Draco and Hermione must find a way to stop the creature and in the process, they discover secrets about each other and the magical world that they never knew before. They also start to see each other in a new light, leading to a possible romantic relationship.
One possible fanfiction could be about a magical creature Draco that is tamed and put on a leash by a powerful wizard. The wizard might be using Draco for some sort of mission, like exploring a dangerous enchanted forest. Draco could be a dragon - like creature with its own will, and throughout the story, it struggles against the leash both physically and emotionally as it tries to assert its independence.
Hermione with a creature inheritance in fanfiction can lead to many creative storylines. If she has a werewolf - like inheritance, it doesn't necessarily mean she turns into a full - blown werewolf. It could be a dormant gene that gives her enhanced senses at times. This could play into her studies as she might be able to sense magic in a different way. Fanfic authors use this concept to explore Hermione's character in new and exciting ways.
Another aspect to consider is a submissive human - like creature in Draco fanfiction. It could be a character from a different magical society that has a submissive cultural trait. This character might be brought into Draco's world, perhaps as part of a political alliance or a magical experiment gone wrong. Their submissive nature would create a power dynamic with Draco. He might initially take advantage of it, but as the story progresses, he could learn to respect the creature and see them as an equal, which would be a great character development arc for Draco in the fanfiction.
To develop Draco's character, you could focus on its relationships. Let it have different types of relationships - a mentor - like relationship with an older, wiser sub creature, a love - hate relationship with a rival sub creature, and a loving relationship with a family member or a newfound friend. Through these relationships, Draco can learn different values and grow as a character. Additionally, exploring its fears and how it overcomes them would add more layers to its personality.
The plot could involve a character who discovers Draco, a mysterious and powerful creature, and decides to keep it on a leash for safety reasons. But Draco doesn't like being restrained and tries to break free. This leads to a series of adventures as the character tries to keep Draco under control while also uncovering the secrets of Draco's origin.
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.
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.
