One great 'Hermione Comforts Harry' fanfiction is 'A Shoulder to Lean On'. In this story, Hermione finds Harry in a moment of despair after a difficult encounter with Voldemort's forces. She uses her intelligence and kindness to comfort him, reminding him of his strength. Another is 'Comfort in the Chaos', where Hermione provides emotional support during the Triwizard Tournament when Harry is feeling overwhelmed by the challenges.
In many fanfictions, Harry might comfort Hermione at the Yule Ball in different ways. For example, he could notice her distress over Ron's behavior and simply offer a kind word or a warm smile. He might say something like 'Hermione, you look beautiful tonight, don't let Ron's stupidity get to you.' This simple act of kindness can mean a great deal to Hermione, who is often overlooked or criticized for being different.
One of the main things that make these fanfictions appealing is the way they build on the existing relationship between Hermione and Harry. We already know they are great friends, but in these stories, the focus on her comforting him allows for a more in - depth exploration of their connection. It can be very heartwarming to read about Hermione being there for Harry when he's at his lowest. It also gives the authors a chance to play with different scenarios, like during the Battle of Hogwarts or after a particularly bad encounter with a dark wizard, and show how Hermione's comfort can make a difference in Harry's state of mind.
One possible fanfiction could be 'Bill's Solace'. In this story, Hermione uses her vast knowledge and warm heart to comfort Bill after he endures a particularly difficult encounter with the dark forces. She might bring him books on magical healing, both for physical and mental wounds, and they sit together in the Burrow's garden, Hermione softly reading passages that offer hope and strength.
One scenario could be that Hermione is feeling out of place among the Weasleys due to her Muggle - born status. Bill, being the eldest and more worldly Weasley, might comfort her by sharing his own experiences of dealing with different cultures during his work with Gringotts. He could remind her that her intelligence and magical ability are what truly matter in the wizarding world.
One heartwarming scene could be when Harry is feeling down about his past and Hermione just sits with him, holds his hand and tells him he's not alone. She might remind him of all the good he's done and how much he's loved by his friends.
One common theme is friendship. Hermione and Ron have a deep friendship, and in these fics, that friendship is shown as a source of comfort. For example, Hermione might use their shared memories to cheer Ron up.
The theme of acceptance also runs through many of these fanfictions. Remus accepts Hermione for who she is, quirks and all. His acceptance makes Hermione feel more secure in herself. For example, when Hermione is worried about her bushy hair or her know - it - all reputation, Remus reassures her that these things are part of what makes her special.
