Often in these fanfictions, there is a build - up to the rejection. Maybe there were some misunderstandings between Harry and Hermione before. For example, Harry might have thought Hermione was flirting with him when she was just being friendly. After the rejection, Harry could become a bit bitter and start to avoid Hermione. But then, as the plot unfolds, they are forced to work together on a project for Hogwarts or to fight a new threat. This forces them to confront their feelings again, and they might either resolve their differences or go their separate ways for good.
One plotline is that after the rejection, Harry throws himself into his Quidditch or his fight against dark forces even more. Meanwhile, Hermione starts to focus on her own projects and relationships with other characters, like starting a study group with some Ravenclaws. As the story progresses, they might cross paths again and there could be some tension. Sometimes, there could be a plot where Harry starts to develop feelings for another character, like Luna, but still has lingering feelings for Hermione. And the fanfiction might explore how he deals with these mixed emotions.
There's often the sacrifice plotline. They might sacrifice their relationship with Hermione to save a large number of people. For instance, they learn that a dark wizard will spare many lives if they abandon Hermione. Also, the jealousy plotline can exist. If a new character becomes closer to Hermione and they feel left out, they might leave out of jealousy and a sense of not belonging in Hermione's new social circle.
Some fanfictions have a plotline where the common room is under a magical curse. Harry and Hermione are the only ones immune to it because of their strong bond. They have to figure out how to break the curse before it spreads throughout Hogwarts. It's a high - stakes plotline that really focuses on their relationship and problem - solving abilities.
Often, 'Harry Potter' rejected fanfiction is due to copyright issues. If the fanfic seems to be too much of a rip - off of the original story, without adding any new or interesting twists, it may be rejected. Some fanfictions might also be rejected because they deviate too much from the characters' personalities as established in the books. For instance, if a fanfic makes Hermione completely out of character by making her overly aggressive for no good reason, it could face rejection.
One common plotline is them trying to change the Slytherin house's negative image. They bring their Gryffindor values like bravery and loyalty into Slytherin and try to reform it from within. Another is their relationship with the other Slytherins. They might have to deal with the pure - blood supremacist ideas that some Slytherins hold. Some fanfictions also explore how they adapt to the Slytherin common room and its more secretive atmosphere.
One possible reason could be that Hermione is too focused on her studies and career goals in the wizarding world. She might see a relationship with Harry as a distraction. Another reason could be that she has different values when it comes to love. Maybe she wants someone more like her, who is more into books and intellectual pursuits all the time, while Harry is more action - oriented.
One common plotline is Hermione's struggle with her identity. She has to come to terms with being the daughter of the most hated wizard. Another is her relationship with Harry and Ron changing. They might be initially distrustful but then learn to accept her again. For example, Ron could have a hard time believing Hermione isn't secretly evil because of her heritage.
One plotline might be that Hermione's relation to the Blacks is a key factor in a prophecy. She has to figure out what it means and how her connection to the Blacks plays into the greater scheme of things in the wizarding world. It could involve her having to team up with some of the more controversial Black family members to fulfill the prophecy. There could also be a plotline where Hermione's Black family connection makes her a target. Voldemort or his followers might want to use her to get to the Black family secrets or to manipulate her into joining their side because of her new - found family ties. This would put her in a very difficult position, having to fight against the forces of evil while also dealing with the implications of her new family connection.
Some fanfictions explore a different relationship dynamic between them. Maybe Harry has a problem that only Hermione can understand and help him with, and this brings them closer in a way that's different from their normal friendship. It could be something related to his connection with Voldemort or his family history.
Well, in some fanfictions like this, it might be due to a dark magic curse that controls Harry's mind and makes him do it. However, this is a very dark and non - canon concept.
Maybe they are celebrating a victory, like the defeat of a dark wizard. They are so overjoyed that they hug and then it turns into a cuddle. This shows the closeness of their relationship and how they share their emotions, both good and bad. It also emphasizes their friendship and the trust they have in each other.
