Hermione might react with a more academic and research - based approach. She would likely want to study werewolves, understand their nature, and find ways to co - exist with them. For instance, she might spend hours in the library looking for spells or potions to control werewolf transformations.
Hermione could react by using her intelligence to expose Fleur's betrayal. She might start gathering evidence of what Fleur has done wrong and present it to their mutual friends or to an authority figure in the wizarding world.
She might have been shocked. Hermione is usually a composed character, but such an unexpected physical action from Fleur could have caught her off - guard, leaving her momentarily stunned.
She would probably be very angry. Hermione is known for her strong will and intelligence. Being restrained against her will would likely make her furious and she'd start shouting at Fleur, demanding an explanation.
In the fanfiction, Hermione's reaction would likely be shaped by her relationship with Fleur up to that point. If they have been friends, she might be a bit taken aback but then laugh it off as one of Fleur's eccentricities. However, if they have a more tenuous relationship, Hermione could become defensive. Her reaction might also be influenced by the presence of other characters. If they are in a public setting, she might be more embarrassed or try to quickly defuse the situation. And if there are underlying romantic or sexual undertones in the fanfiction, her reaction would be even more complex, perhaps blushing and feeling a bit flustered.
Often, in fanfictions, the development of their relationship is a slow - burn process. It could begin with simple exchanges of knowledge. Hermione might teach Fleur some complex magic theories, while Fleur could show Hermione some unique Beauxbatons magic. As they get to know each other better, they might start to have deeper emotional connections. Small gestures like helping each other in times of need or sharing secrets could lead to a more intimate relationship.
Fleur could be developed to be more vulnerable. In the original, she is very much the proud and confident champion. Fanfiction could explore her insecurities, especially in relation to the tournament. And Hermione could be the one to help her through those tough times, showing a different side of Fleur.
Hermione might be a bit surprised at first. She knows Harry well and might not have expected Fleur to ask him. But she would probably be happy for Harry in the end, as she's a good friend. She might also be a bit curious about how Fleur and Harry's relationship would develop.
Often, they are put in situations where they have to rely on each other. Like in a dangerous magical quest. Hermione's knowledge of spells and Fleur's combat skills are both needed. At first, they might argue about the best way to proceed. But as they face challenges together, they see the value in each other's ways. They start to respect their differences and it becomes a strength in their relationship.
Fleur could be a bit hesitant at first, not fully understanding the situation. But once she realizes the gravity of Hermione's state, she becomes determined. She might call for help from other reliable wizards or witches she knows. Fleur would also comfort Hermione, telling her that she's safe now and that they will find the culprits. She may use her Veela charm in a subdued way to soothe Hermione's distress.
Hermione would likely react with more intellectual and introspective grief. Unlike some characters who might show their pain more physically or impulsively, Hermione would probably stand there, silently analyzing all the memories and what Harry's death means for the wizarding world. She might be thinking about the future without Harry and how to uphold his values.
