Well, in such a fanfic, it could seriously strain their friendship. Harry might feel betrayed when he discovers Hermione was spying on him for Dumbledore. It could lead to a rift between them as trust is a huge part of their relationship. Harry has always counted on Hermione to be on his side, and this act of spying would make him question that loyalty.
One possible motive could be for Harry's protection. Dumbledore might have seen a threat that Harry wasn't aware of, and he asked Hermione to keep an eye on him. Hermione, being the loyal friend and also having great respect for Dumbledore, would have agreed to it.
Yes, there might be. In the vast world of fanfiction, all sorts of creative and unexpected scenarios are explored. Some authors might come up with the idea of Dumbledore being afraid of Harry for various reasons. It could be due to Harry's newfound power that he doesn't fully understand, or perhaps a prophecy that takes an unexpected turn in the author's interpretation. Fanfic writers often like to play with the established characters' emotions and relationships in unique ways.
One possible reason for Dumbledore lying in fanfic could be related to his own past mistakes. He may have thought that by not telling Harry everything, he could guide Harry more subtly towards the ultimate defeat of Voldemort. However, this often creates a sense of betrayal for Harry in the fanfic, which adds a new layer of drama to the story.
Yes, there might be. The Harry Potter fandom is vast, and there could be fanfics with all sorts of creative and sometimes controversial plotlines like this. However, not all such fanfics are easy to find or of high quality. You'd need to search on popular fanfic platforms like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net.
Fanfic that bashes characters can be quite controversial. However, some might be found on certain niche fanfic websites. But I must say that bashing characters like Dumbledore and Hermione goes against the positive spirit of the original 'Harry Potter' series. So, I don't really recommend actively seeking such fanfics.
There could be. Fanfiction writers love to explore different scenarios that deviate from the original story. But it's important to note that this goes against the general perception of Dumbledore's character. In the official Harry Potter series, Dumbledore is a protector, not a kidnapper. But in the world of fanfiction, anything is possible.
Maybe Harry is under the influence of some dark magic or a powerful enemy who has tricked him. This enemy could have planted false memories in Harry's mind about Dumbledore. So, Harry, believing these false memories to be real, starts to expose Dumbledore as a villain based on these false recollections.
The power dynamic also shifts. Usually, Dumbledore is seen as a mentor and a figure of authority. But when Harry denounces him, Harry is challenging that authority. In some fanfic, this could lead to a power struggle within the wizarding community as others take sides. It can also cause Harry to seek new allies who share his view of Dumbledore, changing the social fabric of the story.
Perhaps Harry has been misled by someone he trusts. They could have filled his head with lies about Dumbledore, making Harry think that Dumbledore is actually a threat. And his motive would then be to protect the wizarding world from what he believes is a hidden danger in Dumbledore.
