Another pairing is Hermione and Draco. This is a more unexpected and often interesting pairing. In some fanfictions, they put aside their differences from the war and start to see each other in a new light, and they might work together on some post - war projects for the betterment of the wizarding world.
One possible aspect could be that Hermione has been through so much during the war that she feels the need to let go. Maybe she's tired of always being in charge and making decisions. In the fanfiction, this could lead to her exploring a more carefree lifestyle, relying on others instead of always being the one relied upon.
They could interact with a great deal of suspicion at first. Hermione would be cautious around Bellatrix, not fully trusting her motives. Bellatrix, on the other hand, might be trying to prove that she has changed. For example, Bellatrix could offer Hermione some rare magical books as a peace offering, but Hermione would be hesitant to accept.
There could be a scenario where Snape is initially hesitant to interact with Hermione. But she is persistent. She tries to understand his past and his pain. As she breaks through his walls, they start to have a more open and honest communication. They might exchange stories about their time at Hogwarts during different eras, and Snape could finally have someone who truly understands him, at least to some extent, in Hermione.
Another plotline could involve Hermione's relationships. Maybe she finally gets to explore her romantic side more freely. She could start dating someone unexpected, like a muggleborn wizard she meets during her post - war travels. He might introduce her to a whole new world of muggle - like magic that she didn't know existed.
One possible plot could be that after the war, Harry and Hermione realize they have a deep bond that goes beyond friendship. They start to rebuild Hogwarts together and in the process, their feelings grow. They get married in a small ceremony at Hogwarts with their closest friends in attendance.
In some fanfictions, they might become friends. After the war, they both have a new understanding of life and the wizarding world. They could put aside their past differences and grudges, and start to respect each other. For example, they might work together on some projects related to the reconstruction of the wizarding world.
One popular theme is redemption. Snape was a complex character, and in post - war fanfictions, his relationship with Hermione could explore his journey towards full redemption. Another theme could be the mending of the wizarding world. Hermione, with her intelligence and Snape's deep knowledge of the Dark Arts, could work together to heal the scars of the war. Also, there might be a theme of unexpected friendship or more. Given their differences in the original story, seeing them interact in a post - war setting can lead to some very interesting character - driven stories.
One great Hermione controlled after war fanfiction is 'Hermione's New Path'. It explores her taking charge in rebuilding the wizarding world. Another is 'Hermione's Leadership', which shows her using her intelligence to control the post - war chaos.
The idea of Hermione being in control after the war is appealing because she's such a strong character. In the original series, she was often the brains behind Harry and Ron. So seeing her take charge post - war is exciting.
