In many fanfictions, the fight progresses gradually. At first, there are just undercurrents of jealousy. Harry might start avoiding Dean, and Dean might notice and feel annoyed. Then, when Ginny shows more interest in one of them, say Harry, Dean might confront Harry about it. They exchange harsh words, and their friendship starts to crumble. It could also involve other characters getting involved, like Ron taking Harry's side and Hermione trying to mediate but failing as the situation gets more and more out of hand.
Often, it starts with small tensions. Maybe a few jealous glances or snippy remarks. Then it can escalate to full - blown arguments. For instance, they might argue about who gets to sit next to Ginny at the Gryffindor table. As the story goes on, it could lead to more physical confrontations like a scuffle in the hallway.
Well, it could be that in the fanfiction world, Ginny is portrayed as this super desirable character. Harry has a long - standing connection to Ginny, having known her since she was a little girl. But Dean is also attracted to Ginny's independent and feisty nature. So, they end up fighting over her. Maybe there are some misunderstandings too. For example, Dean might think Harry is just being overprotective when in fact Harry has romantic feelings for Ginny, and this leads to a fight.
For Ginny, it could strain her relationship with her friends in Gryffindor. If they see her constantly fighting with Cho over Harry, they might think she's being too possessive or immature. As for Cho, her Ravenclaw friends might be disappointed in her for getting involved in such a petty fight. It could also affect their relationships with Harry's friends like Hermione and Ron. Hermione might try to stay neutral, but if the fight gets too intense, it could put a strain on her relationship with both Ginny and Cho. Ron, on the other hand, would probably be more on Ginny's side, which could lead to further animosity from Cho towards Ron.
On the other hand, Ginny might secretly be a bit flattered that Harry is so possessive over her. But still, she would probably try to stop the situation from getting worse and make Harry understand that he can't just go around punching people because of her.
On one hand, it could potentially strengthen their friendship if they manage to work through their differences. By having this fight over the fanfiction, they might come to understand each other better. They could learn to respect each other's views on Harry and the fanfiction, and this newfound understanding could make their bond stronger. However, if they don't communicate effectively, it could lead to a long - term rift. They might start to exclude each other from other activities related to Harry Potter, such as group discussions about the books or movies.
The fight could also make them re - evaluate their relationship with Hermione and each other. They might realize that they've been taking their friendship for granted. For instance, Harry might think about how important Ron is to him, not just as a friend but also as someone who has always been there, and the same for Ron. And they'll have to work hard to repair their friendship.
At first, it might start with simple moments of realization. Harry begins to notice how Hermione's presence makes him feel more at ease in different situations. As the story progresses, they might have deeper conversations that lead to a stronger emotional connection.
Often, they become closer friends first, gradually evolving into a romantic couple. They may start going on Hogsmeade trips together.
In fanfiction, it could be about status. Ginny is a Weasley, part of a large and well - known wizarding family. Cho might see Ginny as having an unfair advantage in winning Harry's heart because of her family ties. On the other hand, Cho is a popular and intelligent Ravenclaw. She might think her own qualities are being overlooked in favor of Ginny. Also, their different personalities play a role. Ginny is feisty and bold, while Cho is more sensitive and reserved. This can lead to clashes as they both vie for Harry's attention.
Perhaps they have different ideas about the plot direction. Hermione, being the studious type, may want the fanfiction to follow a more logical and complex plot with Harry involved in solving mysteries or learning new magic. Ginny, on the other hand, might be more interested in a plot that showcases Harry's relationships, especially his relationship with her. So, this clash of interests could lead to a fight.
It often starts with a growing attraction. Harry begins to notice Ginny in a new light, seeing her not just as Ron's sister but as a strong and independent witch. Ginny, on the other hand, has had a crush on Harry for a long time and now that they're dating, she shows him different parts of Hogwarts that he might not have known before.
