There's also a chance that Harry is completely indifferent. He might not be interested in either of them romantically and just wishes they would stop making a scene. He could be more focused on his own goals and dreams, like becoming an Auror or improving his magical skills, and see their fight as a waste of time.
One possible outcome could be that Harry realizes he doesn't want either of them and decides to focus on his own life and friendships. He might see their fight as childish and a distraction from more important things like his studies or fighting against the dark forces in the wizarding world.
Well, Harry's magic can give him an edge in many ways. For instance, he could use a simple levitation charm to make Dudley's feet leave the ground, which would be quite disorienting for Dudley and put Harry in a position of power.
Well, perhaps Dudley uses his street - smart knowledge. He might teach Harry some rough - and - tumble moves he's learned from his own scuffles in the neighborhood. For example, showing Harry how to dodge a punch quickly.
Often, it starts with small tensions. Maybe a few jealous glances or snippy remarks. Then it can escalate to full - blown arguments. For instance, they might argue about who gets to sit next to Ginny at the Gryffindor table. As the story goes on, it could lead to more physical confrontations like a scuffle in the hallway.
One reason could be that they might have different interpretations of Harry's character in the fanfiction. Hermione, being logical, may see Harry in a more practical light, while Ron, with his emotional side, could have a different view.
In some fanfictions, Harry is shown to be an excellent fighter, having trained hard and developed strategies. But in others, his fighting abilities might not be the main focus or might be less developed.
It really varies. In some fanfictions, Harry wins because of his natural talent and the power of love and friendship that he has on his side. He has his Gryffindor courage which gives him an edge in the fight.
The fight could also make them re - evaluate their relationship with Hermione and each other. They might realize that they've been taking their friendship for granted. For instance, Harry might think about how important Ron is to him, not just as a friend but also as someone who has always been there, and the same for Ron. And they'll have to work hard to repair their friendship.
It could strain their friendship a great deal. They might start avoiding each other, which would be really sad considering how close they are in the original series. Their mutual friends like Ron would be caught in the middle, not knowing which side to take.
In some fanfictions, Harry Potter might learn to fight through intense training with experienced wizards or by discovering hidden magical combat techniques.
