Chapter 167: Chapter 167
This is why, in my opinion, she instinctively and reactively tends to try and move any confict to one where it's one related to academia/knowledge. For example, when the issue surrounding Harry catching a glimpse of her breasts through her baby-doll nightie reared its head, she confronted the issue by making it clinical and educational. It was just as much her comfort zone as Harry's in that situation.
That situation, by the way, was to start leading Hermione towards coming to an understanding of the real mind-set of Harry; and his utter cluelessness when it comes to understanding 'girls' and the social and personal interactions with same.
I see Hermione as originally being an alpha but, due to the ongoing bullying she suffered as a young child, being forced back into a gamma personality type.
Sirius
A complex character. I see him as a sigma personality type trying hard to be an alpha for the sake of Harry.
I've portrayed him almost as I see him in canon, but with improvements due to him obtaining his freedom and getting proper medical treatment.
Wendell
A true alpha with Gryffindor tendencies. The epitome of the knight in shining armour mindset. With Wendell, what you see is what you get. Easy to like.
Monica
An alpha with Slytherin tendencies. In many ways she has the 'dark side' of a sigma personality. Where Wendell is more 'confront you full on', Monica stands back, analyses you and acts with cunning. She's a manipulator, but not in the evil manner of Dumbledore. Her manipulations are to shape things for the betterment of her family while also holding to moral and ethical standards.
She not-so-secretly espouses the belief that 'behind every great man stands a better woman' and is content with being Wendell's 'foil' when and as he needs one. She is also actively trying to shape Hermione into falling into this role.
Neville
An alpha who has been forced-repressed into becoming a beta similar to Hermione. However, he has lacked until now the 'confrontationalist' mindset Hermione has developed.
Very soon a massive change in Neville's life will occur, which will lead to the boy's alpha tendencies coming back to where they should have been from the start.
Harry has been subtly trying to drag the 'inner Lion', the alpha Gryffindor, out of Neville since first year; seeing Neville for who he should truly be, based on his own life experiences. He recognises himself in Neville and feels a kinship with the boy for that. It explains, in part, why he's so angry with Augusta Longbottom for her handling of the boy.
Andromeda
A straight-up alpha Slytherin, who really should have been in Gryffindor. She's displayed no guile, but does display cunning. However, her cunning is more to do with doing what is right, rather than what is easy; making it a Gryffindor trait. I believe, if she hadn't been raise a 'Black', she'd have never gone anywhere near Slytherin House.
I think she was more of a 'legacy' Sort into Slytherin, rather than that she displayed more Slytherin traits over Gryffindor.
Ted
How much more of a beta Hufflepuff with alpha tendencies do you need than Ted Tonks? Hard working, loyal, confident in himself and his abilities. Is it no wonder someone like Andromeda fell for him?
A rock-solid character it would be hard not to like.
Ron
A flat-out gamma personality with sigma tendencies who wants to be an alpha, but won't get off his arse and work hard to achieve it. Instead, he employs the bad side of the sigma personality type to attempt to manipulate things his way.
He believes an argument can be won by s/he who can shout the loudest, or is simply more determined to be right even in the face of all evidence to the contrary. This comes from his mother. When that doesn't work he then works to cut his opposer down with his words or not-so-subtle actions.
He has self-entitlement issues and, instead of bettering himself by lifting himself up by his own bootstraps, employs tall poppy syndrome tactics in cutting others down to his height. He's bigotted, lazy, slovenly and host of other unpleasant traits.
He sees people as tools to help or work for him to make him better, or as enemies that stand in his way on his path to achieving that. That makes him somewhat like Voldemort, but without the intelligence, guile and power to back it up.
Until recently, he saw Harry as a tool to better his position in society without having to put in much effort. When Harry's star waned with his name coming out of the Goblet, he saw Harry as becoming a liability to his desires, so tried to separate himself from the boy by getting him out of the way.
He's a Gryffindor because he lacks sufficient cunning, let alone guile, to be a Slytherin and lacks sufficient loyalty and willingness to put in the effort to be Hufflepuff; and he's the complete opposite of a Ravenclaw. However, he also lacks the 'nobility' of righteousness needed to be a true Gryffindor.
Ron is the epitome of someone who has none of the traits of any of the four Houses; but the Hat had to stick him somewhere due to its limitations, so into Gryffindor he went.
