Draco's character could develop from a somewhat arrogant and prejudiced boy to a more empathetic and self - aware person. Being with Hermione, who constantly challenges him intellectually and morally, would force him to grow. Hermione would also develop in terms of her relationships. She would learn to trust someone from a different background and perhaps become more rebellious against the norms of the wizarding society that have been holding her back in some ways.
One possible plot could be that they run away to escape the ongoing wizarding war. They find a secluded place, perhaps a hidden cottage in the Forbidden Forest. There, they start to understand each other better without the influence of their respective houses' prejudices. They might discover new magic together and form a bond that is deeper than friendship.
One possible reason could be a conflict of values. Hermione is a strong advocate for justice and equality among wizards and non - wizards alike. Draco, on the other hand, was brought up in a family with pure - blood supremacist views. Hermione might run away from Draco in a fanfiction if she realizes that his views are unchangeable and they are fundamentally opposed to her own. For example, if Draco makes a derogatory comment about Muggle - borns in front of her, it could be the last straw and she decides to run away.
The storyline might then take different directions. For example, Hermione running away could lead her to new adventures on her own. She could discover new magical abilities or meet new characters who will help her grow. Meanwhile, Draco might have his own character development as he reflects on why Hermione left. He could either become a better person trying to win her back or turn even more bitter. Overall, it can greatly diversify the plot.
At first, their relationship would be very tense. They have a long history of animosity from their Hogwarts days. But as they run away and are forced to rely on each other, they start to see each other in a new light. Draco might start to admire Hermione's intelligence and determination, while Hermione could come to understand the pressures Draco faced from his family. This new - found understanding could lead to a cautious friendship, which gradually turns into something more romantic as they share more personal stories and experiences.
Another plot could be that they run away to escape the chaos and danger at Hogwarts during a particularly bad time, like when Voldemort is really tightening his grip on the wizarding world. They set out to find allies outside of Hogwarts, like some old and forgotten wizarding families, and together they form a resistance against Voldemort.
Some fans like it because it offers an alternative to the canon relationships. It gives a chance to explore a different dynamic between Harry and Hermione, one that might be more romantic or at least a very deep friendship that's different from what's shown in the books. It allows for creativity and new storylines.
The Ministry of Magic itself could be an antagonist. If Fred and Hermione are running away because they've uncovered some sort of corruption or dark secret within the Ministry, the Ministry officials would want to stop them from spreading the truth.
It could also be that they run away for a more personal reason. Maybe Fred has feelings for Hermione that go against the social norms in the wizarding community. They run away to be together and explore their relationship away from the prying eyes and judgmental attitudes of their friends and family.
Perhaps they are tired of the constant power struggles and drama. Bella has seen a lot of chaos in the vampire world, and Jasper has been through it for a long time. Together, they decide to run away to find some peace. They want a life away from the battles, the territorial disputes, and the never - ending family feuds. They believe that by running away, they can start anew and build a more harmonious existence for themselves.
