In some cases, Hermione might choose to ignore the bullying at first. She would focus on her own studies and personal growth. However, if it persists, she would definitely take action. This could range from confronting her friends privately to seeking help from a teacher or other authority figure in the fanfiction world.
Hermione is a strong - willed character. She would likely stand up for herself. She might use her intelligence to counter their mean remarks. For example, if they bully her about her bookish nature, she could come back with facts and logical arguments about the importance of knowledge.
She could also initially be hurt and withdrawn. But then, being Hermione, she would probably start to analyze the situation. She might try to figure out why her friends are acting this way. Maybe she would look for a way to resolve the conflict through communication, trying to get to the root of the problem.
Hermione could also get angry. She's a strong - willed character. So, instead of just accepting the situation quietly, she might confront her friends and demand to know why they are ignoring her. This could lead to a big argument or a revelation about what's really going on.
She often tries to ignore it at first. She's focused on her studies and doesn't want to give the bullies the satisfaction of a reaction.
She might withdraw. Hermione could become quiet and start spending more time alone, like going to the library even more often than usual. This is her way of protecting herself from further hurt.
Hermione might initially be very suspicious. Given her intelligence and wariness, she would not easily fall for the temptation. She would likely question Snape's motives and try to analyze the situation from all angles.
Hermione often shows great courage in these situations. At first, she might be scared, but she soon overcomes it. She tries to gather information about her kidnappers and their plans. If they are trying to 'adopt' her, she questions their motives and tries to find out what they really want from her. She may use her intelligence to manipulate the situation to her advantage. For instance, she could pretend to go along with their adoption idea while secretly planning her escape. She also tries to stay true to her values. If her kidnappers have a different view on things like the treatment of Muggles, she will not be afraid to speak up and defend her beliefs, even in a captive situation.
She might be initially shocked. But being Hermione, she would quickly gather her wits and start planning. She could use her vast knowledge of magic to find her way or to signal her friends.
She might initially be in shock. Hermione is used to relying on her friends, so the betrayal would be a huge blow. She could then become angry and start to isolate herself. In some fanfictions, she might try to figure out why they did it on her own, using her intelligence to uncover the truth.
Well, one reason could be to add drama. Fanfiction often takes well - known characters and puts them in unexpected situations. By having Hermione bullied by her friends, it creates a sense of shock and makes the reader more engaged. It could also be a way to explore different aspects of the characters. Maybe the author wants to show how Hermione would react under such difficult circumstances, highlighting her strength or vulnerability in a new light.
Another way is by showing her teaching others. In some 'Hermione is clever' fanfictions, she imparts her knowledge to other students or even some of the younger Hogwarts staff. This not only shows her intelligence but also her generosity in sharing her wisdom, which is very much in character for Hermione.
Hermione may also start to scheme. She'll use her intelligence to come up with a plan. For instance, she might start to collect evidence against Snape, something that she could use to counter his blackmail. She'll research old school rules or find out secrets about Snape that she can hold over his head instead.
