The relationship between all three could become more complex. Hermione's bad treatment of Harry might make Ron more protective of Harry, causing a rift between Hermione and Ron as well. In the original series, they are a tight - knit trio, but in this fanfiction, the balance is thrown off. For example, they might not be as effective in fighting against the dark forces or solving mysteries together because of the tension.
The neighbor situation could make their relationship more open. They would have more opportunities to see each other without the hustle and bustle of Hogwarts. This could lead to them sharing more personal stories. For instance, Harry could tell Hermione more about his early years with the Dursleys, and Hermione could share her experiences growing up as a Muggle - born witch. This sharing of personal histories would likely strengthen their bond.
One possible reason could be miscommunication. Maybe Hermione is so caught up in her own thoughts and studies that she accidentally snaps at Harry without realizing how harsh she is. For example, she might be under a lot of pressure to do well in her classes and Harry's requests for help or just his presence might seem like an annoyance at that moment.
Their relationship would shift from a purely platonic friendship to a deeply committed partnership. Harry would become more protective of Hermione, not just as a friend but as the mother of his child. Hermione would see Harry in a new light, as a co - parent and a life - long partner. They would have to communicate on a different level, sharing not only their thoughts about the baby but also their hopes and fears for their future as a family. There would also be some awkward moments as they adjust to this new dynamic, especially in front of their old friends who are used to seeing them as just friends.
If Hermione realizes her mistake and tries to make amends, it could lead to a deeper understanding between them. They might have to work through their feelings and have some difficult conversations. For instance, Hermione might have to explain her reasons fully, and Harry would have to decide if he can forgive her.
The relationship between them can be a journey. Initially, there could be some envy or misunderstanding due to the house differences. Maybe Harry envies the academic resources Hermione has in her house, or Hermione doesn't understand some of the Gryffindor bravado. But as they interact more, they learn to appreciate each other's strengths. Harry might admire Hermione's ability to think outside the box of Gryffindor norms, and Hermione could come to respect Harry's leadership skills that are so characteristic of Gryffindor. This new - found respect and admiration transform their relationship into a more profound and unique friendship.
If Hermione was in Slytherin, their relationship would be more complex. They would have to overcome the typical Gryffindor - Slytherin rivalry. Harry might initially be more suspicious of Hermione's motives since Slytherins are often seen as more self - serving. However, Hermione's intelligence and loyalty would still shine through, and she would prove to Harry that not all Slytherins are bad. Their friendship would likely be more private as they would face scrutiny from both houses.
The relationship becomes more strained. Without Hermione's constant presence, Harry may feel a sense of loss and confusion. He might be used to relying on her for advice and support, so her absence makes him more vulnerable. On Hermione's side, she may start to see Harry from a different perspective, as she is no longer in the thick of things with him all the time.
At first, Harry would be angry and confused. But as the story progresses, if Hermione has a valid reason for stealing the grimoire, they could start to repair their relationship. However, there would always be a shadow of doubt and a sense of unease between them. For example, Harry might be hesitant to share important things with Hermione in the future.
Well, it completely flips the good - guy - vs - bad - guy dynamic. Harry was seen as the hero, the one who was going to save the wizarding world. If Hermione kills him, it throws the whole prophecy and the fight against Voldemort into chaos. It's like the rug has been pulled out from under the story's foundation.
Well, it makes their relationship even more complex. Ron might feel a bit left out at first because Harry and Hermione have this new, deeper connection. But then he realizes that it doesn't change their friendship. Harry and Hermione, on the other hand, might be more protective of each other than before.
