It deepens their connection. They become more in tune with each other's feelings. For example, if Harry is in danger, Hermione can sense it more acutely because of the bond.
It makes them closer. The birth bond gives them a sense of loyalty and connection that's deeper than normal friendship. They might trust each other more quickly and be more willing to share secrets.
In fanfiction, the marriage contract often forces them to spend more time together. For example, in some stories, they start to really talk and understand each other better. They might have to attend certain wizarding events together as a couple because of the contract, which makes them more aware of each other's feelings.
In many fanfictions, the soul bond makes Hermione and Draco more empathetic towards each other. For example, in some stories, Draco, who was once a bully, starts to see Hermione's intelligence and kindness in a new light because of the bond. He becomes more protective of her.
It deepens their connection. They become more in tune with each other's feelings. For instance, if Harry is sad, Sirius can sense it and vice versa. This makes their relationship more empathetic.
It often makes their relationship stronger. They become more in - sync with each other, like being able to anticipate each other's actions during battles. For instance, Hermione might know exactly when Harry is about to cast a spell and support him with a complementary spell.
Their relationship would likely become more complex. They would have to consider each other in new ways. For instance, they'd have to make joint decisions about their living arrangements, finances in the wizarding world (like property in Diagon Alley or Hogwarts' resources they might inherit). Also, they'd need to be more emotionally open with each other. Before, they were just friends, but now they have a legal bond. There might be some awkwardness at first, but as time goes on, they could develop a deeper, more romantic connection.
The relationship between them can be a journey. Initially, there could be some envy or misunderstanding due to the house differences. Maybe Harry envies the academic resources Hermione has in her house, or Hermione doesn't understand some of the Gryffindor bravado. But as they interact more, they learn to appreciate each other's strengths. Harry might admire Hermione's ability to think outside the box of Gryffindor norms, and Hermione could come to respect Harry's leadership skills that are so characteristic of Gryffindor. This new - found respect and admiration transform their relationship into a more profound and unique friendship.
If Hermione realizes her mistake and tries to make amends, it could lead to a deeper understanding between them. They might have to work through their feelings and have some difficult conversations. For instance, Hermione might have to explain her reasons fully, and Harry would have to decide if he can forgive her.
Well, it really depends on how the fanfiction is written. Some might show Ron being completely outraged and cutting off his friendship with them.

He could initially be confused and a bit resentful, but as he witnesses their love growing, he might start to support them, seeing that their relationship doesn't mean he loses his place in their lives.
Well, at first, they'd probably be very uncomfortable. Snape is used to keeping his thoughts private, and Hermione is a bit shocked by the sudden connection. But as time goes on, they'd become more understanding of each other. Snape would see Hermione's intelligence not as a threat but as an asset, and Hermione would see past Snape's grouchy exterior to the complex person he is.
