Another way it could develop is that it could create a rift among their friends. Some friends might support their relationship, while others, like those who have always shipped different pairings, could be against it. This could lead to some interesting plot twists and drama within the fanfiction story.
In many of these fanfictions, their relationship often becomes more intense and reliant. For example, in stories where they are facing the mystery of Riddle together, they learn to trust each other even more deeply. They might start to rely on each other's unique skills, like Harry's courage and Hermione's intelligence, in a more profound way.
Harry's personality can grow in terms of his emotional intelligence. Since Hermione is so perceptive, he learns from her how to better understand his own emotions and those of others. He becomes more empathetic. Hermione, in a marriage with Harry, might develop a stronger sense of adventure. She realizes that there's more to life than just books and research. They both influence each other in positive ways, making their personalities more well - rounded and adaptable to the challenges of married life.
The relationship could also develop through a series of misunderstandings and reconciliations. They might misinterpret each other's actions at first, leading to some tension. But as they clear up these misunderstandings on the train rides, they grow closer. Eventually, all the pent - up emotions lead to that kiss on the train as a way of finally expressing their true feelings.
In a fanfiction where they are married, Harry's relationship with Ginny would likely be filled with passion and shared experiences from their time at Hogwarts. Their love for Quidditch could be a big part of their connection. With Hermione, Harry would have a relationship based on mutual respect for knowledge and problem - solving. Hermione would bring her intelligence to the relationship, helping Harry make more rational decisions. Ginny and Hermione, on the other hand, might start off a bit rocky as they are quite different, but over time they would grow to appreciate each other's strengths and support Harry together.
For Harry, this would be another chance to prove his heroism and loyalty. He would become more confident in his leadership abilities as he takes charge of the rescue mission. Hermione would grow in her ability to trust her instincts more. Usually so reliant on books and knowledge, she would learn to rely on her gut feelings when it comes to saving Luna. Luna, on the other hand, would become more aware of her own value. After being saved by her friends, she would realize how important she is to them and become more assertive in her own abilities.
One way the story could develop is that Harry and Hermione initially join Voldemort out of a sense of desperation. Maybe they think they can change him from the inside. They might start to influence his decisions in small ways, like convincing him to spare some innocent lives. But as time goes on, they realize they are in over their heads and have to find a way to escape his clutches while also trying to bring down his regime.
In many fanfictions, their friendship develops through shared adventures. For example, they might go on a quest outside of Hogwarts together, and during that time, they learn more about each other's fears and dreams, which deepens their bond.
At first, it might start with simple moments of realization. Harry begins to notice how Hermione's presence makes him feel more at ease in different situations. As the story progresses, they might have deeper conversations that lead to a stronger emotional connection.
In fanfiction, their friendship often develops through shared challenges. For example, when they face a new dark magic threat in the wizarding world, they rely on each other more. Harry's leadership, Ron's humor in tough situations, and Hermione's knowledge combine to make them closer. They also develop their friendship by having deep conversations about their fears and hopes for the future. Maybe Harry shares his concerns about being the Chosen One, and Ron and Hermione support him wholeheartedly.
Their relationship might start with them being comrades in arms. After the war, they would have more time to really talk and understand each other on a deeper level. This would lead to romantic feelings.
