There could be a 'Harry punches Ron' fanfic to explore different character interpretations. Maybe the writer wants to show a more impulsive and hot - headed Harry, or a Ron who has done something really wrong that would push Harry to such an extreme. It can also be a way to break away from the typical, harmonious view of their relationship and see how they would deal with such a violent rupture in their friendship.
There are likely many 'Harry punches Ron' fanfics out there. A common plot could involve Ron betraying Harry's trust in some way. For example, Ron could be jealous of Harry's fame and spread lies about him. Harry, feeling deeply hurt and betrayed, punches Ron in a fit of rage. It could also be that Ron accidentally endangers the group during a dangerous adventure, and Harry's frustration boils over into a punch.
Maybe Ron is under the influence of some dark magic that makes him lose control. It could also be a misunderstanding. Perhaps he thinks Harry has done something really bad to Hermione or their other friends while being pregnant, which enrages him without knowing the truth.
Well, it could be Harry who punches Ron. Maybe Ron betrays Harry's trust in some way, like perhaps revealing a secret of Harry's to the wrong people. And Harry, being really angry about it, punches him in a moment of rage.
It could severely damage their friendship. Harry might feel betrayed and hurt, not only physically but also emotionally. It would take a lot of effort from both sides to repair the relationship, if it can be repaired at all.
Perhaps in the fanfic, Harry discovers that Dumbledore has been manipulating him all along. Dumbledore has always been a very complex character with many secrets. If Harry were to find out that Dumbledore was using him as a pawn in a much larger and dangerous game, his anger could lead him to punch Dumbledore. This would completely change the dynamic between them and open up a whole new set of storylines and character developments.
Another possibility is that in the fanfic's unique plot, there could be some sort of magical influence or dark magic at play. Perhaps a spell was cast on Ron that made him act out of character and punch Harry. It could also be part of a complex plot where Ron is being controlled by an outside force to create drama between him and Harry in the context of the Drarry relationship.
It could also lead to a divide within their group of friends. Hermione, for instance, might be caught in the middle, not knowing who to side with. This could create a lot of tension and conflict among the characters, adding more drama to the fanfic. If the punch was public, it could also damage Ron's reputation among their peers, as punching a friend is not an acceptable behavior in most cases.
There could be. However, this kind of scenario is quite unorthodox as Dumbledore is often seen as a mentor figure in the Harry Potter series. But in the world of fanfic, anything is possible. Some smaller, niche fanfic communities might also have such a story. You may need to dig deeper by joining relevant Harry Potter fan groups on social media platforms and asking around.
It could be a misunderstanding. For example, Ron might think Harry did something really bad to Hermione or their other friends. Without proper communication, his anger could lead him to punch Harry. Also, if there was some sort of magical influence or dark magic at play that affected Ron's judgment, that could be a reason too.
