Severus might be developed as a more complex and empathetic character. By saving Hermione from Ron, he shows a side of himself that is protective and caring, which is different from his usual cold exterior. This could be a turning point in how the other characters view him.
One possible plot could be that Ron is under the influence of a dark spell that makes him act aggressively towards Hermione. Severus, being observant, notices this and steps in to protect Hermione. He uses his potions knowledge to create an antidote for the spell on Ron.
Another way Severus could save Hermione is by using his knowledge of the Dark Arts in a positive way. If she was hurt by a Dark spell from Ron (in the context of the fanfic), Severus might be able to counteract the spell's effects. He has extensive experience with Dark Arts spells, so he could figure out what spell Ron used and then use a counter - spell to reverse the damage.
There might be some kind of misunderstanding. For example, Ron could have been misinformed about Hermione's actions. He thought she betrayed him in some way, like sharing Gryffindor's secrets with Slytherins, so he lashes out at her.
Charlie might be a character who has known Hermione for a long time, maybe through some other connections in the wizarding world. He sees Hermione as someone in need of protection from Ron, whether Ron is acting out of his own accord or is being influenced by external forces. In relation to Ron, he is the one who stands against Ron's actions towards Hermione.
In many fanfictions where Ron saves Hermione from Cormac, it often showcases Ron's protective side. Maybe Cormac was being too pushy or overbearing towards Hermione, and Ron steps in. It could be a moment that solidifies their relationship in the fan - made story, showing that Ron truly cares for Hermione and is willing to put himself in a difficult situation to protect her.
Hermione might become more distrustful of Ron. After being saved by Lucius from Ron, she could start to see Ron in a different light, perhaps as someone with a darker side she hadn't fully recognized before. This could make her more cautious in her interactions with him.
Well, in some versions, Ron might use his quick wit and knowledge of Hogwarts' secret passages to outmaneuver Draco. He could lead Hermione to safety through a passage that Draco doesn't know about.
Maybe Harry uses his magic skills to immobilize Ron. He could cast a spell like 'Petrificus Totalus' on Ron right when he's about to attack Hermione, thus stopping the beating.
Well, it could be that Lucius uses his powerful influence in the wizarding world. Maybe he intimidates Ron with threats related to his family's status or he uses some dark magic to create a distraction and whisk Hermione away.
