It could be about Harry achieving top grades (all 'Outstanding' or 'O's) on his Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWLs) in a fan - created story. Maybe it details his study habits, the challenges he overcame, or how it impacts his future in the wizarding world.
Another reaction could be self - reflection. She might start to question her study methods and her priorities. Maybe she realizes that she had been too focused on grades and not enough on truly understanding the magic, and this failure could be a turning point for her to change her approach to learning.
One possible reason could be excessive stress. Hermione is known for being a perfectionist, and the pressure to perform well on the OWLS might have gotten to her, causing her to make silly mistakes during the exams.
Well, the author could give Harry more diverse magical experiences. Maybe Harry gets to travel to different magical cultures and learn from them. This exposure to new ways of magic could expand her knowledge in ways Hermione doesn't have access to. For example, if Harry visits a far - off wizarding tribe and learns their unique divination methods, it could add to her intelligence repertoire.
One could be 'Harry's Extraordinary OWL Success Continues', which might expand on his achievements and what he does with them. Another could be 'Friends and Harry's OWL Glory', focusing on how his friends are involved in his success story.
Hermione would most likely be very touched. Harry is her good friend, and this gift shows that he really understands her. Owls are not only practical but also a symbol of the wizarding world. She would immediately start to name it and make a cozy place for it in the Gryffindor common room. She might also show it off to Ron, with a big smile on her face.
There could also be some new characters. Maybe a wizard or witch who works in a wizarding fashion store where Hermione gets her new clothes. This character could give her advice on what styles would suit her best and become a sort of friend during her makeover process.
One possible reason could be that Harry has some secret study techniques he hasn't shared. Maybe he has a better understanding of practical magic which is more emphasized in the grading system in this fanfic.
There probably is. Some fanfiction writers may focus on highlighting Harry's unique qualities or achievements that they believe make him 'better' in certain aspects compared to Hermione. For example, they might emphasize his courage in the face of danger more than Hermione's intelligence. But it really depends on how each writer interprets the characters and their relationship.
In certain fanfictions, Harry Potter can indeed be made to seem smarter than Hermione. This could be because the author decides to explore different aspects of intelligence. Harry has a lot of life experiences that could be translated into a different form of wisdom. He has faced Voldemort directly many times and survived. This could lead to a kind of street - smart or battle - smart intelligence that Hermione, with her focus on books and rules, may not possess in the context of that fanfiction.
