How does the 'Harry realizes he likes Hermione fanfiction' usually handle the reactions of other characters?

Often, they show extreme grief. For example, Hermione might be completely devastated, unable to focus on her studies or magic research like she used to. Her character could become more withdrawn as she mourns Harry's death.

In 'Percy Dies' fanfics, the reactions of other characters are quite complex. Some characters may turn to anger and lash out at the world. For instance, Nico could become more reclusive and bitter, blaming the gods for Percy's death. Meanwhile, his friends from Camp Half - Blood would try to hold on to his memory, like having a memorial or trying to complete his unfinished quests. They might also experience a shift in their own identities, as Percy was a central figure in their lives.

One common plot development could be Harry initially struggling to come to terms with his new - found feelings. He might try to deny it at first, thinking it's just a passing confusion. Another could be Hermione being oblivious to Harry's feelings, which leads to some awkward and comical situations in the fanfiction.

Hermione, on the other hand, could be more understanding. She might see it as Harry expressing his individuality. She could be supportive and even defend Harry if others are mean about it. In many fanfics, she's the one who tries to promote acceptance. She might say that just as witches can wear trousers, wizards can wear dresses if they like.

Typically, the reactions vary. Some of the more open - minded characters, like Luna, would likely accept Harry's new style without much fuss. They might even compliment him. However, the Slytherins could potentially use it as a means to taunt him. But then, Harry might grow from these experiences and become more confident in his new appearance despite the naysayers.

In most of these fanfictions, the family reactions are quite complex. For example, Ginny's family, especially her brothers, might be initially angry or disappointed. They've always seen Draco as an enemy. Draco's family, on the other hand, might have mixed reactions. Some might see it as a way to gain some sort of control over the Weasley family, while others might be ashamed.

Often, in such fanfiction, they become more resilient. For example, if they are physically abused by Death Eaters, Harry might become more determined to fight against Voldemort and Hermione might use her intelligence to find ways to protect themselves and others. Their experiences of abuse shape them into stronger characters.

Ron would be furious. He's been friends with both Harry and Hermione for so long and has had his own unspoken feelings for Hermione. His reaction could range from shouting at Harry to giving them both the cold shoulder for a while.

Dumbledore's reaction could be complex. He might feel guilty for not realizing it sooner. In some fanfictions, he would try to make amends by providing more support and protection to Harry. Other teachers at Hogwarts, like McGonagall, would be sympathetic and might offer their own forms of help, like extra tutoring or a place for Harry to relax.

Well, other characters' reactions can vary widely. Neville could be shown as being inspired by Harry's courage in the face of cancer. He might step up and be more of a support to Harry than he was in the original series. Dumbledore would probably offer words of wisdom, perhaps comparing Harry's battle with cancer to his battles against Voldemort. He'd encourage Harry to keep fighting. And Snape? He might be secretly sympathetic, while still maintaining his gruff exterior, and could even provide some potion - based remedies that he thinks might help.
