Hermione would still be a main character. She might be intrigued by the shrub and try to study it. She could be constantly taking notes about its growth patterns and any magical properties it might have.
Professor Dumbledore would definitely be a main character. He would be the one to figure out the significance of the shrub being at Hogwarts. Maybe he knew all along that the shrub was there for a special purpose, like it was a key to unlocking some ancient magic or protecting Hogwarts from a new dark force.
In this fanfic, the shrub could take on the role of Harry Potter in the Triwizard Tournament. Instead of Harry facing the challenges, it's the shrub. Picture the shrub being carried by the dragons or trying to swim in the lake for the second task. It would be a comical and absurd sight.

From the search results provided, the shrub rose and the vine rose each had their own advantages. The trunk of the shrub rose stood upright, about 1 to 2 meters tall. The flowers were of various shapes, bright colors, and a strong floral fragrance. The trunk of the vine rose was creeping and could grow to 3 to 5 meters. The flowers were medium-sized and mostly solitary or clustered. Based on the information provided, the following conclusions could be drawn: shrub roses were suitable for potted plants on balconies with limited space. Their post-trimming and management workload was relatively small, and their flowering was not affected. The vine rose grew well with enough space, but it needed more post-management, including traction and trimming. Therefore, the choice of shrub rose or vine rose should be decided according to the planting environment and personal preference.

And Hagrid could also be part of it, his strength and his love for all creatures could be an asset, perhaps he could use some of his magical creatures to keep an eye out for danger.
The difference between shrub dunes and fixed dunes lies in the way they are formed and their geomorphological features. A shrub dune was a type of sand dune formed by sand particles accumulating around the shrubs. It was the most common sand dune among the semi-fixed sand dunes, usually round or oval. The height of the shrub sand dunes was affected by the plants. It was generally 1-5 meters, and some were as high as 10 meters. The vegetation of the shrub dune had the characteristics of being resistant to drought, wind erosion, sand burial, low temperature and heat. Fixed dunes referred to dunes with plant coverage greater than 30% or with a thin layer of clay or salt crust on the surface, which would not shift under the effect of wind. The formation of fixed sand dunes was closely related to plants. For example, shrubs and sand piles began to accumulate due to the blocking effect of plants. As the accumulation thickened, they grew taller and formed a unique landscape. Fixed sand dunes usually had better vegetation growth, and they gradually evolved into semi-fixed sand dunes far away from the river, and eventually evolved into fully activated sand dunes. In summary, shrub sand dunes were sand dunes formed by sandstorms encountering shrubs. They had circular or oval geomorphological features, while fixed sand dunes were sand dunes that did not shift under the effect of wind, with better vegetation growth and specific geomorphological features.
