It may also be that Ron was cursed in the fanfiction, and Hermione was powerless to help him at the moment. She would be frustrated and extremely worried about his condition, and seeing him suffer from the curse would bring her to tears as she hates to see her friends in pain.
Perhaps Hermione starts a secret club or organization for students who are interested in advanced magic. As Ron and Harry ignore her, she pours all her energy into this. The club gains popularity and starts to influence the way magic is taught at Hogwarts. Ron and Harry, seeing the positive changes Hermione is making without them, start to feel guilty and try to make amends.
In a fanfiction with Ron's betrayal, there could be a situation where the magical world turns against Ron. After all, Harry is seen as a hero and Hermione is highly respected. When Ron's betrayal is revealed, the wizarding community might shun him. This could lead to a redemption arc for Ron where he has to prove himself worthy of forgiveness not only to Harry and Hermione but also to the entire wizarding world. He might have to go through great trials and make huge sacrifices to make up for his actions.
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 reason could be that they might have different interpretations of Harry's character in the fanfiction. Hermione, being logical, may see Harry in a more practical light, while Ron, with his emotional side, could have a different view.
Well, Harry might become very bitter. He could turn to other allies like Neville or Luna for support. He might also start to question all of his relationships and become more withdrawn.
The appeal might be the novelty. Fans are used to the idea of Harry being the hero in all aspects, including potentially in Hermione's eyes. So, this twist where Hermione goes for Ron instead is different. It's like seeing a different side of the story.
One possible plot could be the challenges they face as new parents. Maybe they struggle to balance their duties at the Ministry (assuming they work there) with taking care of the baby. For example, they might have to deal with sleepless nights and still be on top of their work.
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.
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.
They could each write their own version of the fanfiction based on their ideas and then combine the best parts. This way, they both get to have their say in how Harry is presented and what happens in the story, and it could lead to a more interesting and inclusive fanfiction in the end.
