In fanfiction where Hermione is loved by a Slytherin, how do they usually overcome the house rivalry?

In these fanfictions, the sorting of Hermione into Slytherin completely flips the Hogwarts dynamic. Instead of the usual Gryffindor - Slytherin rivalry between her and Draco, there's often a more complex relationship. They might start as rivals within Slytherin, or even be forced to work together due to shared interests. It also changes how other characters view Hermione, as Slytherin has a different reputation. For example, Ron might be more suspicious of her at first.

Well, 'A Slytherin's Love for Hermione' is another one. It's quite detailed in showing how the Slytherin views Hermione from afar at first, then gradually gets closer to her. The story is filled with moments of tension, especially when they face the prejudices of their respective friends due to their relationship.

Hermione and Pansy could be great academic rivals in a fanfiction. Hermione is known for her intelligence and hard work, while Pansy is also quite competitive. They might constantly be trying to outdo each other in exams and class projects. For example, in a Transfiguration class, they could both be vying for the top grade. This rivalry could drive both of them to study harder and learn more advanced magic.

Well, it challenges the traditional rivalry because in the original story, Gryffindors and Slytherins are often pitted against each other. But in these fanfictions, Hermione making friends with Slytherins shows that individuals can look past the house stereotypes. For example, in many fanfics, Hermione might find that a Slytherin is just as brave as a Gryffindor in their own way, which goes against the idea that only Gryffindors are brave.

Well, it shows that the Gryffindors won't tolerate the Slytherin's typical sneaky behavior, as represented by Draco. When they stand up to him, it's like a direct challenge to the Slytherin way of doing things. It heightens the rivalry as the Gryffindors are showing they won't be pushed around by the Slytherins.

If Hermione was sorted into Slytherin, she'd bring a whole new dynamic to the house. Slytherin is known for its ambition and resourcefulness, and Hermione has those traits in spades. She might change the perception of what it means to be a Slytherin. Instead of just being about pure - blood supremacy and cunning for the sake of it, she could introduce a more ethical form of ambition. Her study habits would probably influence some of the other Slytherins to be more studious. And she'd also have to navigate the politics within Slytherin, which could be a real challenge as she's used to the more straightforward environment in Gryffindor.

They communicate. Hermione, being the intelligent and logical one, would likely sit Draco down and have honest conversations about their differences. For example, she might talk about how his pure - blood supremacist views are wrong. Draco, having grown after the war, would listen and try to change. This open communication helps them bridge the gap.

Often, they are put in situations where they have to rely on each other. Like in a dangerous magical quest. Hermione's knowledge of spells and Fleur's combat skills are both needed. At first, they might argue about the best way to proceed. But as they face challenges together, they see the value in each other's ways. They start to respect their differences and it becomes a strength in their relationship.

They add conflict. Their actions create tension between the Slytherin house and the other houses. For example, if they bully a Gryffindor student, it can lead to a feud between the two houses, which then drives the plot forward as students from both sides try to resolve the situation.

Well, it varies. There are fans who actually like the drama it creates. They enjoy seeing the complex relationships and how the characters handle such a difficult situation. But on the other hand, many fans who are die - hard supporters of Hermione might be very critical of Draco and Astoria. They might write their own versions of the story where Hermione gets revenge or finds true love elsewhere.
