In some fanfiction, it could start with Hermione feeling unappreciated by Ron. He may not understand her new projects or her need to constantly learn. Snape, however, notices her efforts and encourages her. They start having conversations about magic that Ron can't really participate in. Hermione becomes intrigued by Snape's different perspective. As time passes, she sees that Snape has changed since the war. He is more open and less bitter. She realizes that she has a deeper connection with Snape in terms of their intellectual pursuits and their shared experiences in the wizarding world, and thus she chooses him over Ron.
One possible scenario could be that in the fanfiction, Harry shows a deeper understanding of Hermione's goals and dreams. For example, he might support her in her academic pursuits more wholeheartedly than Ron. Maybe Harry is more involved in her fight for the rights of house - elves or other causes she cares about.
One possible reason could be that in some fanfiction, the author might want to explore a more complex and unexpected relationship. Hermione might be drawn to Snape's depth of knowledge and his hidden layers. He's a complex character with a lot of history, and perhaps she sees something in him that she doesn't in Ron. Maybe she admires his skill in potions and his ability to hold his own in a world full of dark magic, which she is also interested in studying more deeply.
One possible reason could be the long - standing friendship and shared experiences she had with Ron. They've been through a lot together at Hogwarts, like all the adventures in the Gryffindor common room and during their battles against the Dark Arts. Their relationship has a certain familiarity and comfort that might lead Hermione to choose Ron.
In this fanfic, the relationship between Hermione and Ron might be explored through the eyes of other characters. For instance, Harry might notice the small glances and touches between them that he hadn't paid much attention to before. It could also show how their relationship affects the group dynamic. With Hermione choosing Ron, it changes the way the trio interacts. And it could explore their future together, imagining how they would build a life as a couple in the wizarding world, dealing with things like family, career, and their place in the wizarding society.
Well, in that fanfic, it could be Ron's loyalty. He's always been loyal to Hermione, standing by her side even when they had disagreements. For instance, in the Triwizard Tournament, he was there for her. Also, their similar family backgrounds in the wizarding world might play a role. They both come from wizarding families with their own traditions and values. Hermione might feel more at home with Ron because of these shared cultural elements. And Ron has shown his growth over time. He became more confident and responsible, which Hermione would notice and find attractive.
It shows that the relationships are complex. Hermione's choice of Ron over Harry makes it clear that love and friendship are not always about the 'hero' figure. Harry may be the hero in the main story, but in matters of the heart, Hermione sees Ron differently. It explores how friendship can co - exist with romantic feelings, as Hermione has a strong friendship with both but chooses Ron romantically.
Well, it could be that Snape has been secretly observing Ron's erratic behavior towards Hermione. When the situation gets out of hand, he intervenes. He might use his position as a teacher to discipline Ron and in the process, saves Hermione. Snape is a complex character with a lot of power and knowledge, so he could use various means like his occlumency skills to sense the danger Hermione is in and act accordingly.
One reason could be Snape's sense of justice. Despite his often - cold exterior, he may not tolerate Ron's unjust behavior towards Hermione. Another reason might be that he sees something in Hermione that he values, like her intelligence or her thirst for knowledge, and doesn't want it to be extinguished by Ron's actions.
Well, in such a fanfiction, it might show how Hermione's friendship with Ron is tested by Lavender's presence. Hermione may feel a sense of betrayal as Ron starts to date Lavender. It could also explore how Lavender misunderstands Ron's true nature at times, while Hermione truly knows him deep down. This can create a complex web of relationships within the story.
