There are fanfictions where Ginny is mean to Hermione. It could be because of different reasons. In some cases, it might be related to the power dynamics within the Gryffindor house. Ginny might feel overshadowed by Hermione's intelligence and leadership. But this is a departure from the canon where they support each other. Fanfiction authors like to explore different character dynamics, and sometimes this means creating conflict between characters who are friends in the original story.
In some fanfictions, Ginny might be portrayed as mean to Hermione out of jealousy. For example, over their relationships with Harry. However, this is not in line with the original series where they are friends. Fanfiction often takes creative liberties.
Well, it depends on the specific fanfiction. Some writers might make Ginny mean to Hermione to create drama. Maybe Ginny could be mean about Hermione's academic achievements, like making snide comments in a fic. But in the official books, they get along just fine.
One reason could be to add more conflict. Fanfiction writers often want to create more drama in the story, and having Ginny be mean to Hermione can stir things up.
Another storyline might involve Ginny and Hermione teaming up to solve a mystery within Hogwarts. Maybe there are strange disappearances of students and they use their combined skills, Ginny's Quidditch - related quick thinking and Hermione's vast knowledge, to get to the bottom of it. They might suspect a hidden chamber or a rogue spellcaster. They start by interviewing students and staff, gathering clues from different parts of the castle, and finally unmask the culprit.
In many fanfictions where Hermione confronts Ginny Weasley, it often stems from a conflict over a boy, like Harry. Hermione might feel that Ginny is being too forward or not taking Harry's feelings into account. For example, if Ginny is making big moves on Harry without considering how it affects his studies or his mental state, Hermione, being the practical and studious one, could confront her. It could also be about their different personalities clashing in the context of the wizarding world's social dynamics.
There are fanfictions where Ginny and Hermione team up to solve a mystery within Hogwarts. They might use their combined skills - Ginny's Quidditch - related knowledge and Hermione's academic prowess to figure out something strange going on in the castle, like a series of unexplained disappearances of magical items.
I'm not sure specifically if there is a fanfiction with exactly that premise. But given the vast world of fanfiction, it's very possible. It could be an interesting take on the characters, but also a rather strange one considering Ginny and Hermione are friends in the original story. Maybe in this fanfiction, the author has a unique backstory or reason for Ginny to be 'out to get' Hermione, like a misunderstanding or some new plot device.
They are popular because they are both strong female characters. Ginny is brave and talented in Quidditch, while Hermione is extremely intelligent. Their different strengths make for interesting combinations in fanfiction stories.
Fanfiction that bashes these characters can vary greatly. One example might be a story where Dumbledore is portrayed as a power - hungry manipulator, Weasley as a useless sidekick, and Hermione as an annoying know - it - all. However, such bashing fanfictions often deviate from the original positive portrayals in the 'Harry Potter' series and are not in line with the overall spirit of the story.
In a fanfiction, it could be that Ginny is being too reckless. Hermione, being the more cautious one, is always worried about getting into trouble. If Ginny is constantly sneaking out or getting involved in dangerous adventures, Hermione might yell at her to stop putting herself and others at risk.
One example could be a fanfic where Ginny is portrayed as overly jealous and it causes rifts between Harry and Hermione. Another might be a story where Ginny's actions are misconstrued in a way that makes her seem like a hindrance to Harry and Hermione's friendship. However, bashing characters in fanfiction can be controversial as it goes against the original spirit of the story for many fans.
One great Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley fanfiction is 'The Bond of Sisterhood'. It focuses on their friendship growing stronger during their Hogwarts years. They face challenges together, like dealing with school bullies and difficult exams. Their different personalities, Hermione's studiousness and Ginny's feistiness, complement each other in this story.
