Their relationship could develop in a rather unexpected way. Given that George has his own business and Hermione is always into learning and knowledge. Hermione could offer to help George with the business side of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, like accounting and marketing. George would be impressed by her skills and Hermione would be intrigued by George's creativity. They would start to spend more time together, not just because of the law, but because they enjoy each other's company. This would gradually turn into a strong emotional bond and a loving relationship.
Well, in the beginning, they would probably be very awkward around each other. George might make jokes to ease the tension, but Hermione might not appreciate it at first. As time passes, they could find themselves in situations where they need to rely on each other. For example, if the wizarding world is facing a new threat and they have to use their combined skills to protect their friends and family. This would lead to a deeper understanding and eventually, they could fall in love. It would be a slow process, full of misunderstandings and reconciliations.
Hermione's character could become more relaxed under George's influence. She is often so focused on her studies and the fight against evil, but George might teach her to have more fun. For example, he could introduce her to new pranks around Hogwarts (if the story is set in that time frame).
One possibility is that it could explore how the marriage law, which might be some sort of wizarding law forcing them into marriage, changes their relationship. Maybe at first they resist it, but gradually they start to understand each other better. For example, Hermione's studious nature could contrast with George's more mischievous side, and through the forced proximity of marriage, they find common interests like their love for the Weasley family and their fight against the dark forces.
Often, in these fanfictions, Hermione's intelligence complements the twins' creativity. Her knowledge of magic and books could be used to enhance their pranks or business ideas. Their relationship might develop as they work on various projects together. It could be that they find themselves relying on each other more and more, and feelings start to grow from that mutual trust and respect. The twins might be the first to realize they have deeper feelings for Hermione as they see her in a different light compared to other girls at Hogwarts.
One idea could be the initial shock and resistance from both George and Hermione. George might be still mourning Fred and not ready for such a sudden arrangement. Hermione, on the other hand, could be conflicted as she had feelings for Ron. They could start off as reluctant partners but gradually find common ground through their shared love for magic and their determination to fight against the unjust law together.
Their relationship might start off rocky due to the forced nature of the marriage law. Sirius could be overprotective at first, seeing Hermione as someone he needs to shield from the dangers of his world. Hermione, on the other hand, might be frustrated by his overbearing attitude. But as time passes, they learn to communicate better and understand each other's strengths.
Their relationship could develop in a way that they become each other's support system. Given Hermione's often - alone - in - her - pursuits - type of situation and Cedric's more social but also pressured position as a popular student. They could learn from each other. For example, Cedric could teach Hermione how to relax a bit more and enjoy the simpler things in life, while Hermione could help Cedric with his studies or with any political issues he might face within the school or the wizarding world later on. And this mutual growth could lead to a deep and loving relationship.
At first, it would be very rocky. Snape is used to being alone and Hermione is used to being with her friends. But as time passes, they might start to share their interests. Hermione might show Snape some new Muggle inventions that could be useful in potions. Snape could teach Hermione some advanced potions techniques. This exchange of knowledge could lead to a mutual admiration.
Their relationship could develop in a rather complex way. Given their very different backgrounds, there would be a lot of clashes. However, the marriage law forces them to coexist. As time passes, they might find common ground in their love for the wizarding world, albeit from different perspectives. Hermione could introduce Lucius to the idea of a more inclusive wizarding society, and Lucius could teach Hermione about the long - standing pure - blood traditions that have some value, if reformed. This mutual exchange could lead to a grudging respect and eventually something more like friendship or even love.
Their relationship might develop through mutual respect. Hermione respects Fred's creativity and his ability to think outside the box, and Fred respects Hermione's intelligence and determination. This mutual respect forms the foundation for their relationship to grow, starting from a reluctant partnership due to the marriage law into a real emotional connection.
In many of these fanfictions, their relationship starts off rocky. They're forced into this marriage situation, and at first, they can't stand each other. But as time goes on, they start to communicate more. Small things like sharing a meal or discussing their daily lives break the ice.
