A key element is the transformation of Harry into his 'dark' self. This change often involves a shift in his values and goals, which then drives his intense want for Hermione. It's not just a simple crush; it's related to his new identity.
One popular 'Dark Harry wants Hermione' fanfiction is 'Shadows of Desire'. In this story, Dark Harry has a complex relationship with Hermione. He is drawn to her in a way that challenges the normal dynamics of their Hogwarts friendship. The author does a great job of exploring the psychological aspects of Dark Harry's character and how Hermione reacts to his new, darker persona.
One common theme is the power imbalance. Snape is a powerful and often intimidating figure, and Hermione is a brilliant but still young witch. The fanfictions often play on this dynamic, exploring how power can be both alluring and dangerous in a relationship.
There are also some fanfictions that explore an alternate universe where Lucius and Hermione meet under different circumstances, like in a magical school where there are no Voldemort - related threats. In these stories, their relationship can develop in a more positive and less dark way, and you can often find them by looking for AU (alternate universe) tags on fanfiction platforms.
There's also 'Shadows of Attraction'. In this fanfic, Snape's dark side starts to have an intense longing for Hermione. It shows how Hermione navigates this strange and somewhat dangerous situation while still being true to her own character.

The conflict with the existing relationships in the wizarding world is also a big element. Harry is often seen as a hero, and Hermione is a brilliant witch. There are other characters like Ron who are friends with them. So in fanfiction, there's often the conflict of how this new - found or developing romantic relationship between Harry and Hermione will affect their friendships with others and their standing in the wizarding community.

For example, she might use her knowledge of magic to solve problems that Harry is facing, showing him how valuable she is. She could also use her academic achievements to impress him. Another way is through emotional appeals. She might share her true feelings with Harry, reminiscing about their past adventures and the special bond they had.
