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.

These newfound qualities in each other could strengthen their bond and make their relationship more than just a forced union by the law.

This exchange of knowledge could lead to a mutual admiration.

This mutual exchange could lead to a grudging respect and eventually something more like friendship or even love.
