Defenders
They always defend each other.
Ron and Viktor defend Hermione against the racist morons who think she is worth less because her parents aren't magical and none of them are white.
Hermione and Viktor defend Ron from the fools who equate his family's former lack of gold to a lack of love, from those who think his too-late diagnosed dyslexia and resulting disinterest in study during his time at Hogwarts means he is stupid.
Hermione and Ron defend Viktor from those who think graduating Durmstrang makes him dark, those who think him playing Quidditch means he has no other skills, and also from his hordes of unwanted admirers.
(That last one is the most pleasant one, because it's different. They're fighting something that at its core is positive, which is a constant proof things like this exists.)
They defend each other, they defend themselves, when someone hears that all three of them are in a relationship and immediately thinks one of them is cheating or something equally laughable.
They defend each other, not because they can't do it themselves, but because they want to.
Because sometimes it's best to rant at the person who dared to make someone they love hurt, no matter how small and negligible the hurt is, before they turn around and comfort the one of them suffering.
It nice to watch someone defend you, because that means that they care. They care enough to do so when they know that it is not required, when they know they don't have do.
They're just doing that, because they want to.
And that never gets old.
Not for Viktor, not for Hermione, not for Ron.
(Not for their children either, but that is something that only happens later, once they have already amassed a lot of practice in defending those they love.)
