Well, at first, Hermione might be a bit shy around Bill. But once they start a conversation, they'd realize they have a lot to talk about. Their relationship could progress quickly if they are put in a situation where they have to rely on each other. For example, if they are on a mission to retrieve a powerful magical object. During this mission, Bill could see Hermione's bravery, and Hermione would admire Bill's experience. This could lead to them becoming very close friends or even something more if the author wants to take it in that direction.
Their relationship might begin with mutual curiosity. Bill wonders about this brilliant young witch, and Hermione is curious about the worldly and adventurous Bill. As they meet more often, perhaps at wizarding events or family gatherings, they start to share their thoughts on the state of the wizarding world. They could have debates about magical equality and education. These discussions could strengthen their bond, and they might start to see each other as kindred spirits. Eventually, their relationship could evolve into a strong partnership, whether it's in the field of research, activism, or just as good friends who support each other through thick and thin.
If they meet, their relationship could start as a simple acquaintance. Bill might be impressed by Hermione's intelligence right away. As they interact more, it could develop into a friendship. Bill could share his experiences as a curse - breaker with Hermione, and she would be all ears. They might exchange letters when Bill goes back to his work, and slowly, a deeper connection could form.
Their relationship could start off rocky. Since the marriage law forces them together, Hermione might be resentful at first. But Bill's patience and understanding could slowly break down her walls. He could introduce her to new aspects of the wizarding world, like his work with Gringotts and the secrets of the magical creatures he's encountered. This shared knowledge could start to build a bond between them.
His character might become more nurturing. Bill is already a brave and capable wizard, but raising Harry would add a new layer of responsibility to him. He'd have to be more patient and understanding, as Harry has his own traumas from his past. He might also become more protective, like a father figure.
Hermione would likely become more confident in her non - academic abilities. Bill, with his adventurous and worldly experiences, could teach her a lot about practical magic and survival skills. For example, he might show her how to better handle dangerous magical creatures, which would expand her knowledge beyond books. Bill, on the other hand, might become more in - depth in his thinking. Hermione's love for knowledge and constant questioning could make him more introspective. He may start to look at the wizarding world's traditions and problems from a more academic perspective.
To develop their relationship realistically, they need to have common goals. For example, they both care about the well - being of the wizarding world. They could start working on a project to improve the living conditions of magical creatures. During this process, they get to know each other's personalities better. They have arguments about different approaches, but through these conflicts, they learn to understand and appreciate each other. This gradually builds a deeper connection between them.
The Weasley parents would have mixed feelings. Molly would be a bit hesitant as she had her own ideas about Bill's future with Fleur. Arthur, on the other hand, might be more open - minded and see the potential in Hermione and Bill's relationship. Their relationship could also cause a stir among the Hogwarts students who look up to Hermione, as it would be an unexpected pairing that challenges the normal relationships they are used to seeing.
The fanfiction could explore how Bill Weasley's feelings for Hermione change over time. At first, it could be a simple attraction based on her looks and her reputation as a brilliant witch. But as he gets to know her better, he discovers her depth of character. This could lead to a more profound and meaningful relationship. However, they would face many challenges, such as the age difference, the expectations of their families and friends, and the ongoing threats in the wizarding world. Their love story would be one of perseverance and growth.
Their relationship would likely become more protective. Bill would be more watchful over Hermione, given her pregnant state. And Hermione might rely more on Bill for emotional support.
He might be developed as a protective figure. Given his family's connection to Harry, he could be extremely determined to keep Harry safe. This could lead to him being overprotective at times, causing some tension between him and Harry as Harry wants to prove himself. His protective side could also show his loyalty to his family and friends, which is a key trait of the Weasley family.
At first, it might be a bit awkward as they come from different generations in the wizarding world. But as they spend more time together, they start to understand each other's strengths and weaknesses. Harry admires Bill's knowledge of magic and his courage, while Bill is drawn to Harry's selfless nature.
The relationship between Hermione and Ron in this fanfiction takes a sharp turn. It goes from a relationship (presumably) full of the usual bickering and affection they have in the original series to a complete break - up. Hermione's feelings shift towards Bill, leaving Ron behind.
