Harry could become more confident earlier. Since Hermione is so smart and resourceful, she might give Harry some tips on how to deal with difficult situations. This could make Harry more self - assured when he faces challenges later at Hogwarts.
Hermione would also be influenced. Harry's natural courage might inspire her to be more adventurous. In a fanfic, they could go on little quests together before Hogwarts. Hermione might learn that sometimes it's okay to break a few rules for the greater good, which is a trait she can further develop later. For instance, if they find out about a dark magic item in the neighborhood, they might take the risk to investigate it, and this would change Hermione's view on strictly following the rules all the time.
Well, they might discover their shared love for magic right away. Maybe they find some strange magical creature together and start to figure out how to take care of it. This could be a start of their magical adventures even before Hogwarts.
Well, Hermione's parents could be key characters. They might be the ones who first notice Harry's odd situation when they meet him. For example, they could see that Harry seems a bit underfed and neglected, which could lead to them trying to help him in some small way. This would also give Hermione more of a connection to Harry before Hogwarts.
One possible plot could be that they meet in a muggle library. Hermione is there researching magic in the guise of general knowledge books, and Harry stumbles upon her while looking for a quiet place to escape from the Dursleys. They start chatting about books, and Hermione is intrigued by Harry's strange yet endearing manner. They then realize they both have a connection to the magical world.
Clearly, it's Harry and Hermione. Harry, an orphan living with his cruel aunt and uncle, and Hermione, a muggle - born girl with an inquisitive mind. They are the focus of this fanfiction set before Hogwarts. Harry has his unruly hair and a sense of loneliness, while Hermione has her bushy hair and a passion for books. Their personalities start to develop even before they step foot in Hogwarts.
Their relationship could become deeper. Meeting Hermione's relatives would mean Harry is getting more involved in her personal life, which might make them closer. They would share more experiences related to her family, and this could lead to more understanding and trust between them.
One possibility could be that in this fanfiction, Hermione and Viktor's pre - Hogwarts meeting sets the stage for a different kind of relationship dynamic throughout the series. Maybe they become friends early on and this friendship influences how events unfold at Hogwarts. For example, Viktor might be more protective of Hermione during the Triwizard Tournament, not just because of her intelligence but also because of their pre - existing bond.
In this cat fanfic, Harry could be more curious and impulsive like a cat. He would be eager to explore new places and things, just like a cat would be interested in new corners of the house or a new mouse toy. Hermione would be more nurturing towards the cats. She would be the one making sure they are well - fed, groomed, and healthy. She would also use her intelligence to understand the cats' behavior and needs better.
At first, their relationship would be very strained due to the kidnapping. But as the story goes on, they could start to understand each other's motives. For example, if Harry was forced to kidnap her for a noble reason, Hermione might gradually forgive him. Their relationship could then develop into a deeper friendship with more mutual respect.
It would likely cause a great deal of strain. Harry would probably feel betrayed and angry at Hermione. Their friendship, which was once strong, would be severely damaged.
The White Walkers could be major antagonists. They are a huge threat in Westeros and Harry and Hermione would have to use their unique magical abilities to combat them. Their cold - based magic and army of the undead would be a great challenge for Harry and Hermione.
