Well, if Hermione has a crush on Fleur in the fanfiction, it could make things really interesting. For example, it might create some jealousy among her friends, especially if they don't understand her feelings. Ron might be really confused and a bit put off, since he has his own complicated relationship with Hermione. Harry, on the other hand, might be more understanding but still a bit surprised. And it could also change how Hermione approaches her studies and her role in the wizarding world. She might be more distracted, or she could be inspired to be more like Fleur in some ways, like being more confident in social situations.
It could be developed by having Fleur first struggle with her feelings internally. She might be confused because it's not a common type of attraction in the wizarding world. For example, she could write in a diary about her feelings for Hermione.
One idea could be a story where Fleur tries to subtly show her feelings to Hermione through acts of kindness, like leaving her little gifts. It could start with Fleur realizing her crush when she sees Hermione's intelligence during a study session in the library.
It would change a great deal. First off, McGonagall would probably be more involved in Hermione's academic progress on a personal level. She might give her special assignments or extra tutoring. As for the other professors, they might view Hermione as having an 'inside track'. For instance, Professor Flitwick could be more lenient with her in Charms class. This new dynamic would add a whole new layer to Hermione's Hogwarts experience and how she interacts with the faculty.
Hermione's relationship with Harry and Ron would likely become more strained. They might be a bit afraid of her at first, not knowing how to deal with her new lycanthropy. However, as true friends, they would eventually try to understand and support her. With other Hogwarts students, she could face discrimination or fear from some, while others might be curious or sympathetic. Her relationship with teachers would also be different. Some, like Professor Snape, might use it as an excuse to be even harsher on her, while others, like Professor Lupin (who is also a werewolf), could be a source of guidance.
One possible plotline could be Fleur struggling with her feelings. She might be in a situation where she has to interact with Hermione a lot, like during some magical events or projects at Hogwarts or in the wizarding world. And she gradually realizes that her feelings are more than just friendship.
Well, it could make their bond much stronger. They might look out for each other more. For example, Neville could be more protective of Hermione when she gets into dangerous situations with Harry and Ron. And Hermione might help Neville with his studies even more than she already does in the original story, since they have a family connection.
It would make her more complex. Usually, Hermione is very rational and follows the rules. But having a crush on Dolohov, a known antagonist, would make her question her own judgment. She might become more secretive as she doesn't want her friends to know about her feelings. This is a big change from her usually open - minded self when it comes to sharing her thoughts and feelings with Harry and Ron.
The original dynamic was very much based on the pure - blood vs. Muggle - born divide. In fanfiction, this can be broken down. Writers might have Hermione and Draco meet in a different context, outside of Hogwarts perhaps. This new setting allows them to form a relationship without the pre - existing biases. It gives a chance for a fresh start, where their personalities can interact without the weight of the wizarding world's social structure getting in the way right from the start.
It really shakes things up. In the normal story, Hermione being a muggle - born was a big deal when it came to Draco. But as a pureblood in the fanfic, they could be part of the same social circles within the wizarding world more easily. Draco might not be as quick to dismiss her, and Hermione might not have that initial prejudice against Draco because of his pureblood - supremacist views. Their interactions could become more about shared interests within the pureblood community, like magical heritage research or pureblood family traditions.
Hermione might develop a greater sense of adaptability. In a senary change situation, she would have to use her intelligence not just to understand new magic but also to quickly adjust to new social and cultural aspects within the magical world. Fleur, on the other hand, could become more humble. She may realize that her beauty and charm - based magic are not always enough and need to learn from Hermione's studious nature.
