Another plot element is the exploration of Hermione's internal struggle. She has to deal with the shock of Ron's behavior and also the judgment from others. In some fanfics, the wizarding community might not believe her about Ron's abuse because of his status as a hero in the war. This forces Hermione to rely more on Draco, who, despite his own past issues, is more understanding in this fictional scenario. There's also often a build - up to a relationship between Draco and Hermione, which starts from mutual understanding of their difficult situations and grows into something more romantic.
Often, there is a redemption arc for Draco in these fanfictions. While Ron is being portrayed as abusive, Draco is shown to be changing for the better. He might start to help Hermione deal with the aftermath of Ron's abuse, like protecting her from further harm or helping her regain her confidence. The contrast between the 'bad' Ron and the 'changing' Draco is a key plot element that drives the story forward and makes the idea of a dramione relationship more plausible in the context of this type of fanfiction.
There is also 'The Unlikely Bond'. It delves into a complex relationship where Ron's jealousy turns into a form of abuse, causing Hermione to re - evaluate her relationships. This fanfic shows how Hermione might find solace in Draco's understanding, though it's important to note that these are all fictional interpretations that deviate from the more positive canon portrayal of Ron. It's interesting to see how different authors can explore these characters in new and often controversial ways.
It could also be that Hermione, after being abandoned, decides to leave Hogwarts for a while. She travels to different magical places, perhaps some ancient wizarding libraries or hidden magical communities. There, she meets Draco Malfoy who is also on some sort of self - discovery journey. At first, they are both hesitant around each other, but as they share their experiences and knowledge, they start to form a bond.
It's concerning. In the original 'Harry Potter' series, Ron and Hermione have a loving relationship. Fanfiction that portrays it as abusive goes against the essence of their characters. It might be a way for some writers to explore dark themes, but it can also mislead fans, especially those new to the fandom, and distort the positive image of the relationship that J.K. Rowling intended.
Well, an 'abusive ron fanfic' is basically a fanfic about Ron. Fanfics are stories written by fans. In this case, the 'abusive' part means that the story might contain scenarios where Ron is subjected to some form of mistreatment or bad behavior. It could be things like his friends being mean to him in the story, or him facing difficult situations that are on the cruel side.
Maybe Ron is angry because he has a long - standing feud with Draco. He sees Draco as the enemy from their Hogwarts days. So, seeing Draco married to his friend Hermione is like the ultimate betrayal in his eyes. He can't fathom how Hermione could be with someone he hates so much.
A well-known Dramione fanfiction with this plot is 'Love's Betrayal'. Here, Ron's cheating triggers a series of unexpected events that bring Draco and Hermione closer together.
Power imbalance. One character usually has more power, whether it's physical, social, or emotional, over the other. This can lead to situations where the more powerful character dominates or mistreats the other.
Well, it could be a form of shock value. By creating an abusive relationship where there was a loving one, it grabs the attention of readers who are looking for something different or edgy. Also, some writers may not fully understand or respect the original characters and their relationship, so they create this kind of disturbing fanfiction without considering the implications.
Harry would probably be curious about it in a way. He might secretly read some of it to understand why people are so interested in this pairing. Ron, on the contrary, would actively try to stop people from talking about it. He'd say it's disrespectful to Hermione and their friendship. He might even try to get Hermione to tell people to stop writing such fanfictions, but Hermione would likely be more understanding of the concept of fanfiction and not be as bothered as Ron.
In my opinion, it's a bit of a gray area. On one hand, it's a form of creative expression. But on the other hand, if the abuse is too extreme or disturbing, it might not be ethical as it could be upsetting to some readers who really like the character Ron.
