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.
Draco and Hermione are often popular characters in fanfiction. Draco is usually depicted as a Slytherin student with a complex personality, and Hermione is known for her intelligence and determination.
She could be defiant at first. Hermione is a strong - willed character, so she might immediately start trying to escape or use her magic against Draco. She could also try to reason with him, asking him why he's doing this and trying to appeal to his better nature.
Ron Weasley often makes an appearance. He might be suspicious of Draco's intentions towards Hermione and try to protect her. His loyalty to Hermione and his hot - tempered nature can add a lot of drama to the story.
In a different fanfiction, Hermione could be afraid of a prophecy that involves her and Draco. The prophecy seems to foretell doom and destruction. She's terrified of what might come to pass. Draco, who also hears about the prophecy, tries to comfort her. He tells her that prophecies can be misinterpreted and that they can change their fate together. He starts to work with Hermione to figure out a way to avoid the bad outcomes predicted by the prophecy.
The relationship would be severely damaged. Hermione would likely feel betrayed, angry, and hurt. Draco, on the other hand, might initially feel a sense of relief but could later be filled with guilt.
He could also be protective. Despite their differences, Draco might have some hidden feelings for Hermione. So, when he sees her scared, he might put aside their past enmity and try to comfort her or keep her safe from whatever is causing her fear. For instance, if there is a threat from another student or a magical creature, Draco could use his Slytherin cunning to protect her.
Yes, it might seem a bit strange considering their relationship in the original 'Harry Potter' series. They were from rival houses and often at odds with each other.
