In the fanfiction, their relationship might develop in stages. First, they would be in a state of denial, trying to pretend that this marriage law - imposed relationship doesn't exist. Then, as they are made to attend social functions together as a couple, they start to feel a sense of obligation towards each other. This gradually turns into a grudging respect. Eventually, they might find themselves falling in love as they discover shared interests and values that they never knew they had before.
The relationship could be a very slow - burn one. Snape has his own traumas and secrets, and Harry has his own emotional baggage. At the beginning, they might just tolerate each other's presence for the sake of the law. But as they get to know each other's daily routines, likes and dislikes, they start to have small moments of connection. For instance, they might both have a love for a particular type of magical creature or a certain area of magic. These small connections build up over time and transform their relationship from one of forced proximity to a genuine emotional bond.
At first, it would be very rocky. Snape is used to being alone and Hermione is used to being with her friends. But as time passes, they might start to share their interests. Hermione might show Snape some new Muggle inventions that could be useful in potions. Snape could teach Hermione some advanced potions techniques. This exchange of knowledge could lead to a mutual admiration.
At first, their relationship would be filled with confusion. Harry might be shocked and Sirius would be equally bewildered. But as they start to accept the situation, they could develop a deeper understanding of each other. Sirius could become more of a parental figure to Harry in a different way, and Harry could offer Sirius a new sense of purpose.
In this fanfiction scenario, their relationship would be a journey of discovery. Hermione, with her inquisitive nature, would start to dig deeper into Snape's past. She might find out about his unrequited love for Lily and understand his pain. Snape, on the other hand, would be exposed to Hermione's modern - thinking and her ideas about equality in the wizarding world. This exchange of ideas and emotions would be the foundation for their relationship development. They would have to overcome their initial differences, like Snape's cold exterior and Hermione's sometimes over - eagerness. But as they do, they would form a relationship based on mutual understanding and shared goals, such as improving Hogwarts or changing the wizarding society's views.
The relationship would be a rocky one. Snape has his past grudges against Harry's father. However, living together, they would be forced to interact daily. Harry might start to understand Snape's difficult past and Snape could see Harry's potential. There could be moments of anger, but also moments of mutual understanding, like when Harry helps Snape with some magical experiment.
The relationship would start off rocky. Snape would be resistant to Harry's kindness as he has always seen Harry as James Potter's son. But Harry's persistent efforts to understand and help Snape would gradually break down Snape's walls.
At first, it's likely to be very tense. Snape has always had a grudge against Harry because of his father. But as they live together, they start to see each other's true selves. Harry might see Snape's vulnerability and intelligence, while Snape might see Harry's courage and determination that are different from James's arrogance.
Often, it starts with intense dislike. Snape is constantly critical of Harry in class, deducting points for the slightest mistakes. Harry, in turn, sees Snape as a bully. As the story progresses, there might be small moments of grudging respect, like when Harry realizes Snape's intelligence in potions, but the overall hatred remains for a long time.
At first, it could be very tense. Harry might be reluctant to submit, but as time goes on, he starts to see Snape in a different light. This could lead to a grudging respect. For example, Snape might show Harry some advanced potions techniques that no one else has taught him, which makes Harry realize Snape's value.
In fanfiction, their relationship could start with a mutual understanding of each other's pain. Harry realizes Snape's complex past and sacrifices, and Snape sees Harry's growth and potential. This new - found respect could lead to friendship, and then slowly, romantic feelings might develop. For instance, they could work together on a project to restore Hogwarts after the war, spending a lot of time together and getting closer. Eventually, they decide to get married as they realize they can't live without each other.
Initially, the relationship is one of captor and captive. Snape is in control and Harry is the unwilling victim. But as the story unfolds, Harry might begin to question Snape's motives. Snape, in turn, might start to open up a bit about his reasons for taking Harry. This could lead to a slow transformation of their relationship. They might find common ground in their shared experiences, such as both having lost people they loved to Voldemort. This newfound connection could start to heal the rift between them.
