In some fanfiction scenarios, Hermione might accept right away. They could then start going on little dates, like to Hogsmeade. They might share their feelings more openly, talk about their future together, and even study together in a more romantic setting. Their relationship could strengthen as they face new challenges together, both in the wizarding world and in their personal lives.
Well, it could also go wrong. Maybe Hermione has always seen Harry as just a friend, and his asking her out makes things really uncomfortable between them. She might turn him down gently but then worry about how it will affect their friendship. Their other friends, like Ron, could also get involved, perhaps causing more chaos if he has his own unexpressed feelings for Hermione.
One possibility is that Snape initially refuses to help Hermione. He has his own grudges and is often portrayed as a cold character. But as the story progresses, he might see something in Hermione's situation that relates to his own past or values, and reluctantly start to offer some guidance.
She might say yes. In the fanfiction world, this could be a chance for a complete rewrite of their relationship. They could go to the Yule Ball together and shock everyone. This would cause a stir among the Gryffindors and Slytherins alike. Their friends would be confused, but it could also open the door for more inter - house unity. They could dance together and have a great time, and maybe this would be the start of a beautiful, if unexpected, relationship.
Well, one possibility is that Fleur could be really surprised at first. Maybe she'd initially be hesitant because she might have had other plans or expectations for the Yule Ball. But then, she could see Hermione's earnestness and decide to go with her. They could end up having a great time, dancing and chatting, and maybe even become closer friends through this experience.
Well, one possibility is that Hermione might be really surprised. She's always been more of a friend to the Weasley twins in a different way. She could initially be hesitant, thinking about her studies and how going to the ball with Fred might disrupt her routine. But then, she might see it as a chance to have some fun outside of her books. After all, the Yule Ball is a special event.
One possibility is that Hermione would be extremely shocked. She might initially think it's some sort of joke or a test. Given their previous relationship in the original story, where Snape was often strict and not exactly friendly towards her, this sudden change would be quite a surprise. She might hesitate and not give an immediate answer, needing time to process this unexpected turn of events.
If Ron and Hermione leave Harry in the fanfiction, it would change the entire fabric of the story. Harry would have to reevaluate his relationships with other characters. For example, he might turn to Neville for support more often. Also, the power dynamic within the wizarding world could shift. Since Ron and Hermione were important figures in the fight against Voldemort, their absence could give the Death Eaters an advantage, or it could inspire others to step up in unexpected ways. Harry would be forced to grow in ways he hadn't before, and it would be a journey full of self - discovery and new challenges.
In such a fanfiction, one possibility is that Hermione leaves the Burrow to bring Harry some important information. Maybe she's discovered a new lead on the Horcruxes. She could be racing against time to reach Harry before Voldemort's forces find out about it too.
Ginny asking Harry out could lead to a very interesting chain of events. It could cause some jealousy among other students who have a crush on either of them. Ron, for example, might be a bit taken aback at first but then come around to support his sister and best friend. As for their date, it could be something unique like a midnight stroll in the Forbidden Forest (with proper precautions of course), where they talk about their fears, hopes and dreams, deepening their connection.
She could also provide Harry with some protection. In fanfiction, she might be even more proactive in keeping Harry safe from the dark forces. For example, she could give him a magical charm or a secret spell that only she knows to fend off enemies. Or she could arrange for some trusted allies to keep an eye on Harry when she can't be around.
One possibility is that Voldemort could initially be amused by Harry's request. He might toy with Harry, pretending to consider helping while actually having his own evil plans. For example, he could use Harry's vulnerability at that moment to gain some sort of advantage, like getting information about the Order of the Phoenix. Or, Voldemort could see it as an opportunity to corrupt Harry further, slowly turning him to the dark side by making false promises of power and protection.
