One reason could be to create a more complex and angsty story. By making Hermione seem friendless, it can show her in a vulnerable state that we don't often see in the original series. It might also be a way to explore different character arcs for her, like how she copes with isolation and how she eventually finds new relationships or reconciles with old friends.
Perhaps it's a way to subvert the expectations of the original story. In the normal 'Harry Potter' world, Hermione has Harry and Ron as her closest friends. But in this fanfiction, the writer might want to see how Hermione would develop on her own without that support system. Maybe it's about highlighting her individual strength and intelligence in a more extreme situation where she has to rely only on herself.
Harry would likely be furious. He'd immediately start planning to rescue Hermione. He might try to gather evidence of the dark magic used to enslave her and take it to the teachers. Ron, on the other hand, would be impulsive. He'd probably want to storm into the Slytherin common room right away to free Hermione, without much of a plan.
Ginny would be very empathetic. She'd probably try to understand Hermione's situation from a female perspective. Ginny might try to get some female friends or relatives to help out, like bringing food or warm clothes to Hermione. Luna would be her usual unique self. She might think that Hermione is on a special spiritual journey and would offer her some very strange but oddly comforting advice.
Harry would be extremely worried and determined to find a cure. He'd probably search every corner of the library and consult all his wizarding contacts. Ron, on the other hand, would be initially in shock but then would try to cheer her up with his clumsy humor.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe her friends thought she was following but she got distracted by something, like a new spell she saw in an old book. So they unknowingly left her behind.
Another possibility is Harry Potter himself. This would be a very different take on their relationship. In some fanfiction, the strong bond between Hermione and Harry could be taken to a new level. Maybe in a situation where they are the last hope for the wizarding world, they conceive a child in secret to carry on some special magic or power that could save the wizarding community.
Well, one reason could be to add drama. Fanfiction often takes well - known characters and puts them in unexpected situations. By having Hermione bullied by her friends, it creates a sense of shock and makes the reader more engaged. It could also be a way to explore different aspects of the characters. Maybe the author wants to show how Hermione would react under such difficult circumstances, highlighting her strength or vulnerability in a new light.
The author might write this plot to create some sort of conflict or drama. It can add an interesting twist to the story. Maybe the friends are under some sort of spell or misinformation, and Hermione has to figure out how to fix things, which can lead to an exciting adventure.
Hermione would likely become more nurturing. She's used to being the know - it - all student, but raising Snape would force her to be more empathetic and patient. Her development would involve learning to deal with a child's emotions and insecurities, which would make her a more well - rounded character.
Hermione would likely become more powerful in a different way. Instead of just relying on her book - learning and magic spells, she would have an innate power from Hades. This could make her a bit more intimidating. However, she would also be more empathetic towards creatures and beings that are misunderstood, like those in the underworld. Her sense of justice would still be strong, but it might be applied in a different context, such as dealing with the rules and power dynamics in the underworld.
In the beginning, Severus would probably view Hermione as a nuisance. But Hermione, being Hermione, would not take being treated like a simple pet lying down. She would constantly challenge him in small ways, like refusing to follow his commands in a way that made him think. This would pique Severus's interest. As they spent more time together, he would come to respect her and see her as more than just a pet. Their relationship would develop into a complex one, with elements of friendship, respect, and a shared love for knowledge.
