Lucius/Hermione is the non-canon pairing in the Harry Potter fandom involving Hermione Granger and Lucius Malfoy.

Canon

Lucius Malfoy is shown as knowing who Hermione Granger is: In Ch 4 of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in Borgin and Burkes, Harry overhears Lucius scold his son Draco for many things, including that Hermione has scored higher than Draco in every exam. Later in the same chapter while at Flourish and Blotts, Lucius sees Mr. and Mrs. Granger as examples of Muggles that Arthur Weasley likes, but there is no direct interaction between Lucius and Hermione.

In Ch 9 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in the stands before the Quidditch World Cup, Lucius sees Hermione and curls his lip, which Harry attributes to Lucius looking down on anyone of Muggle descent:

Mr. Malfoy’s eyes had returned to Hermione, who went slightly pink, but stared determinedly back at him.

Fandom

Like Severus/Hermione, Draco/Hermione, Voldemort/Hermione and other Hermione pairings shipped with canonically dark wizards, Lucius/Hermione fanworks tend to be dark and angsty, often including hurt/comfort and power imbalance. Although there are some notable works in fluff and humor genres as well. Some fics have happy endings where love defeats prejudice and evil, others have cruel and disturbing scenes throughout the story with no happy ending in sight. Dark!fics are quite common for this pairing.

A relationship with Lucius, who is a Death Eater and a hated enemy of Harry, Ron and Ginny, usually tests Hermione's friendship with them, resulting in fights and sometimes breaking their friendship permanently. It is also quite popular among writers to break her canon romantic relationship with Ron as a result of her growing feelings towards Lucius.

Lucius' wife Narcissa is usually dead or out of the picture via divorce in Lucius/Hermione fanfiction, though there are stories where they have an affair while Lucius is still married. Some authors hint on the allegedly arranged marriage between Lucius and Narcissa, thus explaining his infidelity.

Fanfiction published on AOU tend to be filled with multiple warnings and marked as explicit which some readers may find triggering. Although earlier stories used to include such elements as dominant relationship and power imbalance with Lucius being the one in control, more recent works try to embrace the girl-bossing trend in them.
