An explanation of Hermione’s plot

Some readers criticized the author for forcibly changing Hermione's character. What should be noted here is that Hermione slapped Draco in the original book (Volume 3, Chapter 15). You can say that this plot is very poisonous, but the plot is bound to develop this way. The characters of the protagonist and Hermione are destined to make such a decision at that time.

If you think that Hermione will not hit anyone, readers must remember: the original Harry Potter is a young adult novel, and the protagonists in it are growing up. Their personalities are different every year, and they are constantly growing. Hermione in her third year would indeed hit Draco.

Hermione in the first year was a girl who followed the rules, but Hermione in the second year was already willing to break school rules for justice in her heart. Hermione in her third year, do you know how fragile her heart is? She first took 12 elective subjects and was so stressed that she couldn't breathe. Then she faced boycott and isolation from her friends (because of Scabbers and Firebolt). At the same time, she also suffered from pressure in the Divination class because of her disagreement with Trelawny. , the last thing that caused her emotional breakdown in the original work was that Hippogriff was sentenced to death, and she officially came into contact with the ugly side of the adult world, which is the so-called politics.

It was because of the accumulation of various negative emotions that she hit Draco. Not only the readers, but also Ron in the original book was shocked. The original text of Chapter 16 is as follows:

"Hermione, I don't know what happened to you recently!" Ron said in shock, "First you hit Malfoy, and then you walked away from Professor Trelawney's class -"

See? Hermione's emotions have indeed been suppressed for too long. The third year is the time when she officially releases the shackles of being a "good boy" and breaks out of her cocoon to become a butterfly!

In this work, the Hippogriff was rescued by Schelling, but Hagrid got into another kind of trouble. In a sense, it was a bigger trouble. He dragged down Dumbledore, and even Dumbledore's authority All have been challenged. This means that Hermione's fate has returned to the trajectory of the original work. Her mood must be extremely bad, and when Draco laughs at Hagrid like in the original book, Hermione will definitely stand up to him like in the original book.

And what about Schelling? With your brother and Slytherin on one side, and Hermione who is still emotionally weak on the other, what would you choose?

What's more, in a sense, Schelling saved Hermione's life! Just the three of them, Harry, Ron, and Hermione (remember, Harry's strength only skyrocketed in his fourth year, and he was just a loser in the first three years) were beaten by the furious Draco and more than a dozen little snakes. Can you imagine what will happen if we are surrounded?

As for readers who like Hermione, the author would like to ask, Hermione is not dead, don’t you all look forward to her subsequent development?
