Over time, if the fanfiction progresses, Hermione could become a sort of bridge between Ron and Draco. She might encourage them to get along, now that Draco has shown that he can be on Hermione's side. Draco might also start to see Ron in a different way, realizing that Ron's jealousy or rudeness towards Hermione was born out of his own insecurities. This could potentially lead to a more complex and interesting dynamic between the three of them.
Well, in some versions, Ron might use his quick wit and knowledge of Hogwarts' secret passages to outmaneuver Draco. He could lead Hermione to safety through a passage that Draco doesn't know about.
Well, it could completely shift the relationships in the story. Instead of Hermione being in a difficult situation with Ron, she now has an unexpected ally in Draco. This might lead to a new friendship or even a different kind of relationship between them. It could also make Ron realize his mistakes if he was indeed being abusive in the fanfiction.
Well, it definitely makes things more complicated. Ron would probably be very confused and angry at first. He might see Draco's actions as a form of interference or even an insult. He may think Draco has some ulterior motives towards Hermione.
Draco might be motivated by jealousy. He could be jealous of Ron and Hermione's friendship or a possible romantic relationship between them. So he tries to harm Hermione out of spite.
Well, it changes Draco in many ways. Firstly, he realizes that there are things more important than loyalty to his family's dark cause. Saving Hermione makes him see the goodness in people like her. It could also make him more determined to change the reputation of his family. He may start to work secretly against the Death Eaters, using his knowledge of their plans from being part of the Malfoy family. His relationship with Hermione could also be a catalyst for his character growth, as she challenges him intellectually and morally, pushing him to become a better person.
One possible motivation could be that Draco has changed. He might have seen the error of his ways and decided to do the right thing. Another motivation could be that he has feelings for Hermione, even if they are not fully realized yet. He doesn't want to see her in a bad situation, so he steps in.
Well, it could be that Lucius uses his powerful influence in the wizarding world. Maybe he intimidates Ron with threats related to his family's status or he uses some dark magic to create a distraction and whisk Hermione away.
Well, it could be that Snape has been secretly observing Ron's erratic behavior towards Hermione. When the situation gets out of hand, he intervenes. He might use his position as a teacher to discipline Ron and in the process, saves Hermione. Snape is a complex character with a lot of power and knowledge, so he could use various means like his occlumency skills to sense the danger Hermione is in and act accordingly.
If Draco steals Hermione from Ron in fanfiction, it might show a different side of Hermione. She might be attracted to Draco's intelligence in a different way than Ron's loyalty. This could lead to new magical adventures where Hermione uses her knowledge in a more Slytherin - like way, influenced by Draco. It could also make for some interesting interactions between the Gryffindors and Slytherins, as now there's a connection between them through Hermione. The story could explore how love can cross house boundaries in a more extreme way than what we see in the original books.
In some fanfictions, Draco might save Hermione from Bellatrix out of a new - found sense of morality. Maybe he has grown tired of the Dark side's cruelty. He could see Bellatrix about to harm Hermione and use his knowledge of the Death Eaters' ways to create a distraction. For example, he might pretend that there is an intruder in another part of the manor, causing Bellatrix to leave Hermione momentarily, giving Hermione a chance to escape or for Draco to help her further.
