Another plot could be that the baby project is a ruse by the teachers to get Draco and Hermione to reconcile the differences between Slytherin and Gryffindor. As they take on the project, they start to understand each other's houses better. The 'baby' becomes a symbol of unity for them, and they eventually fall in love while trying to raise it in the best way possible.
For Hermione, her intelligence and determination can be further explored. She could use her vast knowledge of magic to take care of the 'baby' in the project. For instance, when the 'baby' gets sick, she quickly figures out a remedy. Draco, on the other hand, his pride and initially aloof nature can gradually change. Maybe at first he's reluctant to participate fully, but as he sees Hermione's dedication, he starts to let go of his pride and get more involved.
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.
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.
Well, it could be about Harry and Draco having to work on a project related to a baby in the fanfiction world. Maybe it's a school assignment where they have to take care of a virtual baby or something similar. It might also explore their relationship as they deal with this task together.
Well, in some Draco and Harry baby project fanfictions, it might involve the two characters being paired together for a school project that involves taking care of a 'baby' (which could be like a magic - created or a simulation). They start off disliking each other as they are from rival houses. But as they work on the project, they begin to understand each other better, and their relationship evolves from animosity to friendship or even something more romantic.
She could stand up to him. Hermione is known for her intelligence and quick - wittedness. So she might use her sharp tongue and logical arguments to put Draco in his place. For example, she could expose his wrongdoings or the flaws in his pure - blood ideology.
One alternative theme could be a time - travel story where Hermione and Draco are sent back in time and have to work together to preserve the wizarding world's history. It's a fun way to explore their characters in a new setting.
