If in the fanfiction, Harry's Metamorphmagus abilities are more of a curse than a gift at first. Hermione would be the one to help him control it. This shared struggle would bring them closer together in a more complex way. They would have to rely on each other more, not just for academic or adventure - related things, but also on an emotional and magical level.
In a Metamorphmagus Harry and Hermione fanfiction, their relationship might develop differently if the ability makes Harry an outcast in some way. Hermione, being the loyal friend she is, stands by him. This could lead to a more protective and perhaps even a romantic relationship. As she defends him from those who fear or misunderstand his powers, they grow closer. And over time, Harry might start to see Hermione in a new light, not just as a friend but as someone he can't live without. This would be a slow - burn type of relationship development that is different from the canon.
Their relationship could develop into a more competitive one. Instead of always being partners, they become rivals in certain aspects, like in academics or in a new magical sport at Hogwarts. This would add a new dynamic to their interactions.
Well, their relationship could become more of a rivalry. Instead of being friends, they could compete with each other to solve the mysteries around the Goblet of Fire. Each trying to outwit the other in finding out who put Harry's name in the Goblet.
In such fanfictions, their relationship often develops with Hermione taking on a more protective and guiding role. Since Harry can't hear, Hermione becomes his main source of information about the world around him at times. For example, in the classroom, she might be the one to quickly write down important instructions for him.
In some fanfictions, Harry's newly - discovered metamorphmagus abilities are portrayed as more raw and uncontrolled compared to Tonks'. For example, in 'The Uncontrolled Shift', Harry has a hard time adjusting and often shifts involuntarily, while Tonks has had years to master hers.
In their friendship, they were more like comrades. But as betrothed, there would be a new level of intimacy. They might start to notice little things about each other in a more romantic way. For example, Harry might be more aware of Hermione's beauty when she's reading, and Hermione might find Harry's leadership in a different light, seeing it as a quality for a future partner.
In many of these fanfictions, their relationship often becomes more intense and reliant. For example, in stories where they are facing the mystery of Riddle together, they learn to trust each other even more deeply. They might start to rely on each other's unique skills, like Harry's courage and Hermione's intelligence, in a more profound way.
Well, if Cedric survived, their relationship could become more of a mentor - mentee situation in reverse. Harry, having faced Voldemort multiple times, could teach Cedric about the true nature of dark magic and how to defend against it better. Cedric, on the other hand, could teach Harry about the importance of patience and fairness which are Hufflepuff traits.
Writers portray their relationship in various ways. One way is through a magical bond. They might write that there is a special magical connection between Hermione and little Harry that makes them understand each other on a deeper level. Another way is in the context of Hogwarts' politics. Hermione could be protecting Harry from those who might want to use him for their own gain within the school. Their relationship can also be shown as a source of comfort for both of them. Harry, who has a tough life outside Hogwarts, finds solace in Hermione's company, and Hermione, who often feels like an outsider because of her intelligence, feels needed and important when she is with Harry.
Some fanfictions develop their relationship through shared adventures outside of Hogwarts. They go on secret quests together, relying on each other's skills. Harry's courage and Hermione's intelligence complement each other during these adventures. As they face challenges and overcome them, their relationship blossoms into a romantic one while they keep it hidden from their friends.
In the original series, Harry and Hermione are friends. But as the Dark Lord and Dark Lady, their relationship would be much more complex. They might have a more equal partnership in terms of power. Instead of Harry being the main hero and Hermione as his sidekick, they would both be leaders. Their relationship could be based on mutual ambition and a shared vision for a new wizarding world.
