In fanfiction where Harry is deaf and involves Harry and Hermione, how does their relationship develop differently?

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.

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.

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.

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.

The relationship could also develop through a series of misunderstandings and reconciliations. They might misinterpret each other's actions at first, leading to some tension. But as they clear up these misunderstandings on the train rides, they grow closer. Eventually, all the pent - up emotions lead to that kiss on the train as a way of finally expressing their true feelings.

Well, without Ron and Hermione, Harry's character would lack the moral compass that Hermione often provides. He might be more impulsive and make decisions without fully thinking them through. For example, in the original story, Hermione stops Harry from using the Marauder's Map too recklessly. Without her, Harry could get into a lot more trouble with it.

At first, it might start with simple moments of realization. Harry begins to notice how Hermione's presence makes him feel more at ease in different situations. As the story progresses, they might have deeper conversations that lead to a stronger emotional connection.

Their relationship might start with them being comrades in arms. After the war, they would have more time to really talk and understand each other on a deeper level. This would lead to romantic feelings.

At first, it would be really rocky. Harry has a history of distrusting Snape, and Hermione might be a bit cautious too. But as time passes, Snape's care for them in his own strict way would start to show. He'd probably be tough on them about their studies, but they'd see it's because he wants them to succeed.

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.
