Moony might be protective of Hermione because he has a strong sense of justice. In the wizarding world, Hermione is a Muggle - born, and she often faces discrimination. Moony, being a member of the Order of the Phoenix, is against all forms of prejudice. He would naturally want to protect her from any harm, whether it's from Death Eaters or just general bigotry within the wizarding community. Also, Hermione's intelligence and her role in fighting against the dark forces make her an important asset, and Moony would understand the need to safeguard such a valuable ally.
One reason could be that they see her intelligence as an asset. Hermione is known for her brilliant mind, and Slytherins, who value cunning and resourcefulness, might respect that. They could also recognize her strength in the face of adversity and be drawn to protect her as a way to show their own growth beyond the typical Slytherin - Gryffindor rivalry. In some fanfictions, a Slytherin might have a personal connection or debt to Hermione, which leads to their protective nature towards her.
Maybe it's because he admires her intelligence. Hermione is known for her vast knowledge of magic, and Charlie, who has his own area of expertise with dragons, might respect that. He sees her as someone worth protecting because she could contribute a great deal to the wizarding world, and he doesn't want to see that potential lost.

In fanfiction, Harry might be protective of Hermione because of their deep friendship. They've been through so many dangerous adventures together in the original series.

In fanfiction, it might be due to a redemption arc for Lucius. He realizes the error of his ways in the wizarding war and starts to view Hermione, a muggle - born with great talent, as someone worthy of protection. He could also be protecting her from other dark wizards who might want to harm her because of her intelligence and influence among the light - sided wizards. This protection could also be a form of self - atonement for his past misdeeds against the muggle - borns.
In many fanfictions, Sirius Black might protect Hermione from various threats. For example, he could shield her from dark wizards who target her for her intelligence or her connection to Harry.
