What could be the plot of a 'Draco and Hermione at the Manor' fanfic?

It could be a plot where Draco and Hermione are forced into a situation where they have to rely on each other's knowledge. Their 'tongue' in this case might refer to their quick - wittedness. For instance, they might be in a magical maze and need to solve puzzles by using their combined intelligence, which then leads to a new - found respect for each other.

Well, perhaps it could be a fanfic where they are on a secret mission together. After getting dirty during the mission, they find a single shower area in an old, abandoned building. They have to take turns, but there are some magical artifacts in the shower that start causing strange things to happen. Harry might be the first to notice something odd, Hermione would try to analyze it, and Draco would be reluctantly involved.

One possible plot could be that they are forced to work together on a post - war project in the wizarding world. At first, they still have their old grudges but as they spend more time together, they start to see each other in a new light. Eventually, they fall in love and have a baby. Their baby could then be a symbol of a new era of unity between the former rival houses in Hogwarts.

The plot could start with Hermione being in a dangerous situation near water, like she might be attacked by a water - based dark creature while near a lake at Hogwarts. Draco, who might be nearby for some reason, overcomes his initial hesitations (due to their past enmity) and jumps in to save her. After that, they could start to see each other in a new light, leading to a slow - burn relationship as they deal with the aftermath of the incident and the reactions of their friends and the Hogwarts community.

A really interesting scenario would be if they are trapped in a magically sealed room in the Manor. With no way out, they are forced to talk about their past misunderstandings. As they do, they realize how much they misjudged each other. They also find some old potions ingredients in the room and Hermione, being brilliant at potions, tries to brew a way out while Draco assists her in a rather clumsy but endearing way.

One possible plot twist could be that Draco's family initially opposes the marriage. His pure - blood - supremacist parents might have a hard time accepting Hermione, a Muggle - born. Another twist could be that there are dark forces at play trying to use their union for some evil purpose, perhaps related to an ancient prophecy. And a third twist could be that Hermione discovers a long - lost family secret that has some connection to the Malfoy family, which changes the dynamics of their relationship and the marriage.

Perhaps a plot twist could be that Draco is under the influence of a dark spell when he kidnaps Hermione, and as she tries to break the spell, she uncovers a conspiracy within the wizarding world. Or it could be that the kidnapping is a ruse set up by Hermione herself to infiltrate the Slytherin group, but Draco doesn't know it and things spiral out of control.

In fanfics where Hermione is Draco's mate in Malfoy Manor, it could begin with a situation where Hermione discovers a side of Draco that no one else has. Maybe he shows a bit of kindness towards her when she's in a vulnerable position at the Manor. This small act could make Hermione re - evaluate her view of him. At the same time, Draco might be intrigued by Hermione's intelligence and tenacity. Over time, these feelings grow and they become mates, often defying the social norms of the wizarding world.

One thing that makes it interesting is the contrast between their backgrounds. Hermione, a Muggle - born with strong values of equality and knowledge, and Draco, a pure - blood from a family with a long history of prejudice. When they come together as mates in the context of Malfoy Manor, it creates a lot of tension and potential for character growth. They have to overcome their initial differences and the expectations of their respective social groups.

A possible plot could be that Hermione is getting ready for a big wizarding event and her bra has some sort of magical enchantment on it. Draco accidentally discovers this when he's snooping around (he's still a bit of a troublemaker in this scenario). This discovery leads to a series of events where they have to work together to figure out who enchanted the bra and why. It could be part of a larger plot to embarrass Hermione or to gain some sort of magical advantage.
