Another plot often seen is Hermione challenging Draco in academic competitions. Since she's brilliant and he's often overconfident, she proves him wrong in areas like potions or charms, which really gets under his skin. It's a great way to show her intelligence and confidence.
Often, there are plots where Hermione stands up to Draco's pure - blood supremacist views. She might engage in a heated debate with him about the equality of all wizards, regardless of blood status. This not only shows her moral compass but also her ability to confront bigotry head - on. It can lead to some really interesting character development for both of them as they are forced to reevaluate their beliefs and prejudices.
One great fanfiction with this theme is 'Hermione's Courage Against Draco'. In it, Hermione really shows her strength when dealing with Draco's taunts. It has some really well - written dialogue that makes their interactions intense and interesting.
One common theme is the idea of redemption for Draco. By standing up for Hermione, he is often shown as breaking away from his Slytherin - bred prejudices, which is a form of self - improvement.
A really interesting fanfic is 'Hermione Against Draco'. In this one, Hermione stands up to Draco during a Potions class. He tries to undermine her skills, but she shows him that she's just as good if not better. There's also 'Facing Draco' where Hermione faces Draco's attempts to get her in trouble with Snape. And 'Hermione's Courage' shows her standing up to Draco's group of Slytherin cronies when they try to corner her in a corridor.
One possible plot could be Hermione standing up to the Weasleys when they have a disagreement about a magical theory. Maybe she has her own well - researched ideas and won't be swayed by the Weasleys' more traditional views.
One key moment could be when Hermione uses her quick wit to verbally outmaneuver Draco in a public setting. For example, in the Great Hall, she might refute his snide remarks about Muggle - borns with facts about the great contributions of non - pure - blood wizards. Another moment could be when she physically stands in his way to prevent him from bullying a younger student. This shows her courage and determination to oppose Draco's bullying ways.
Another theme is loyalty. Ron's actions in these fanfictions display his loyalty to Hermione. He doesn't let others mistreat her and is ready to face any consequences to protect her.
Often, it creates a more complex relationship. Take 'The Unlikely Bond' for instance. When Hermione stands up to Draco, he becomes both intrigued and a bit angry at first. But over time, this confrontation becomes the starting point of a relationship that is full of tension but also mutual admiration. In other fanfics such as 'Hermione's Impact', it causes Draco to reevaluate his own beliefs and actions, which in turn affects how he relates to Hermione.
Well, a frequent plot is the culture clash. Draco, coming from a pure - blood family with certain traditions, and Hermione, a Muggle - born witch with her own values. Their relationship starts as a way to bridge this gap. Also, there's the plot where they are forced to work together on a project, and during that time, Draco falls for Hermione and decides to ask her out.
One common plot is that Draco captures Hermione as a means to gain an advantage in the wizarding war. He might think that by having her in his custody, he can use her knowledge or her connection to Harry Potter. Another plot could be that it's a case of miscommunication or a misunderstanding. Maybe Draco thinks Hermione has done something wrong to his family, and he takes it upon himself to capture her to get justice. There are also some fanfictions where Draco captures Hermione as part of a love - hate relationship. He's attracted to her but doesn't know how to handle his feelings, so he acts out in this extreme way.
A common plot is Ron seeing Draco and Hermione getting along academically. Maybe they are both top of the class in a particular subject and Ron feels left out. Another plot could be them working together on a school project, like in Potions or Defense Against the Dark Arts. Ron then starts to overthink and get jealous.
