One possible plot could be Hermione transferring to a wizarding school in a different country. Maybe she discovers new types of magic there. For example, in a school in Asia, she might learn about magic that is more in tune with nature and has different incantations. Another plot could be that she changes schools due to a conflict at Hogwarts. Like there's a new dark magic threat that the Hogwarts faculty can't handle properly, so she's sent to a more secure school where she has to adjust to new rules and make new friends. And she could also be forced to change schools because of a false accusation at Hogwarts, and then she has to prove her innocence while also adapting to her new school environment.
She could make friends with a shy but brilliant wizard who is an expert in ancient runes. They bond over their shared love for knowledge and research. Another new friend could be a bold and adventurous witch who drags Hermione into all sorts of escapades around the new school. There might also be a kind - hearted half - elf student who helps Hermione adjust to the new school's unique culture.
Well, one possible plot twist could be that Harry discovers the new school has a hidden magical artifact that is both a great power source and a danger. Another could be that the teachers at the new school are secretly working for an old enemy of Harry's. Or perhaps Harry finds out he has a long - lost relative among the students at the new school.
Sometimes in fanfiction, Hermione is made to be more emotional. In the books, she was quite rational most of the time. But in fanfictions, she could be more prone to outbursts of anger or sadness. This could be due to a deeper exploration of her past or some new relationships that stir up strong emotions in her. For example, if she discovers some secrets about her family, it could make her more emotional and less in control of her feelings compared to her normal composed self.
He could make friends with a shy but extremely talented wizard who has been overlooked by others. Maybe a girl who is really good at potion - making but is too introverted to show off her skills. Another new friend could be a joker - type character who always lightens the mood with his funny magic tricks. And there might be a tough - looking guy who is actually a big softie inside and becomes Harry's loyal friend.
The plot would take a darker turn. Instead of being the voice of reason and using her intelligence for good, Hermione as a dark witch might use her knowledge to create chaos or gain power. The school environment, like Hogwarts, would no longer be a safe place. Teachers would be on guard, and students might be in danger from her actions or experiments with dark magic.
The dynamic at Hogwarts would be completely transformed. Students would be shocked, and there could be a new power balance. Hermione's influence on Lucius could lead to changes in how the Malfoy family interacts with the school. For instance, they might become more involved in promoting muggle - born rights instead of opposing them.
When Harry changes schools in fanfiction, his relationships take on a whole new dimension. His bond with Ron and Hermione would face a significant strain. There would be a mixture of emotions - sadness, confusion, and maybe even a bit of resentment from them. On the other hand, Harry would enter a new social arena. He might encounter students who are more competitive or more laid - back compared to Hogwarts. His relationships with them would depend on how he presents himself. If he's seen as the hero from Hogwarts, some might be intimidated. But if he's humble, he could build deep friendships. His relationship with the wizarding community as a whole would also shift. He'd be part of a different school's reputation, and this could either enhance or complicate his standing in the wider wizarding world.
One possible change could be in her relationships. In America, she could meet a whole new set of friends and potential love interests. Her friendship with Harry and Ron might change as they are far away. She may also have to deal with different social hierarchies in the American wizarding community.
One major plot change could be Hermione's attitude towards the Ministry. Since Barty Crouch is associated with the Ministry, she might have a more complex view of it. Maybe she'd be more involved in Ministry affairs earlier on.
