Perhaps in this fanfiction, Ron makes a big mistake that Hermione can't overlook. It could be something related to jealousy or not respecting her boundaries. Meanwhile, Harry is there for her, being the stable and reliable friend. So, Hermione realizes that Harry is the one she wants to be closer to in the story.
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.
In the fanfiction, it might be that the relationship between Hermione and Harry evolves due to shared experiences that are more intense. They could go on a dangerous mission together where Harry's courage and Hermione's intelligence combine in a unique way. This creates a bond that makes Hermione choose Harry over Ron as they grow closer through this experience.
One possible reason could be the strong intellectual bond Harry has with Hermione. They've been through so many adventures together, solving mysteries and facing challenges. Their shared love for knowledge and learning might make Harry realize he has a deeper connection with Hermione compared to Ginny.
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.
It could be that Ron starts dating another girl in the fanfiction, and Hermione has feelings for him. Seeing him with someone else would be heart - breaking for her and cause her to cry.
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.
One reason could be jealousy. Maybe Ron feels that Harry is getting too close to Hermione and he's afraid of losing her attention. In fanfiction, authors often play with the characters' emotions. Harry, on the other hand, might see Ron as being too possessive of Hermione.
One interesting scenario could be them going on a magical adventure outside of Hogwarts during the summer holidays. They might discover a hidden magical creature and have to work together to protect it from dark wizards. Another could be a time - travel adventure where they go back in time to change a small event that has big consequences in their present friendship. And they could also have a friendly competition within the fanfiction, like a wizarding cooking contest where they use magic to create the most amazing dishes.
In fanfiction, Hermione might choose Ron because he represents a more 'normal' life within the wizarding world compared to Harry. Harry was always the 'Chosen One' with a great burden. Ron, on the other hand, was just an ordinary wizard with an ordinary family (despite its quirks). Hermione might have wanted a relationship that was less centered around saving the world and more about day - to - day life at Hogwarts and beyond.
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.
One possible scenario could be that Ron is extremely nervous when he asks Hermione. He might stutter and fumble over his words, making Hermione initially think he's joking. But then he manages to get out a sincere invitation, and Hermione is pleasantly surprised.
