In the 'hermione helps snape recover fanfiction', how does Hermione help Snape recover exactly?

One challenge could be Snape's pride. He's a proud man and might not be willing to accept help easily. He could resist Hermione's attempts at first, seeing it as pity or interference. Another issue might be the secrecy involved. If Snape's condition is something that needs to be kept quiet, Hermione has to be very careful about who she involves and what she reveals. For example, if his ailment is related to a secret mission or some dark magic he was involved with, any leaks could put Snape in more danger.

Their relationship would likely become less antagonistic. Snape has always been tough on Hermione in the original series, but in this fanfiction, as he helps her recover, he would start to see her more as an individual worthy of respect. Hermione, on the other hand, would see Snape's kinder side and perhaps develop a sense of gratitude towards him.

Maybe Hermione has lost her confidence in her magical abilities due to some traumatic event. Snape, in his own gruff way, decides to mentor her. He helps her recover by guiding her through difficult spells and magical concepts she had previously mastered but forgotten. This journey of recovery could also involve them exploring parts of Hogwarts that are little - known, and in the process, they form an unlikely friendship.

Well, Snape could use his strict teaching style in a positive way. He might push Hermione out of her comfort zone. By giving her tough tasks related to her fears, like facing a certain dark magic creature. And as she accomplishes these tasks, her fears gradually disappear. Also, his presence alone, with his reputation for being powerful, could make Hermione feel safer and more able to confront her fears.

He could also be a bit sarcastic in his response. Snape has a sharp tongue, so he might say something like 'Miss Granger, what makes you think I have the time or inclination to help you?' But as Hermione explains her situation, he might gradually soften, realizing the seriousness of the matter. Maybe he starts to see a bit of himself in Hermione's thirst for knowledge.

Well, in some fanfictions, Snape might use his advanced potions knowledge. He could brew a special healing potion for Hermione. Maybe it's a modified version of a known potion, like the Essence of Murtlap that has strong healing properties.

He might be initially suspicious. Snape is a complex character. He's used to being on his guard, especially with Gryffindors like Hermione. So, his first reaction could be to wonder what Hermione's real motives are for seeking his help.

In these fanfictions, their relationship often starts with suspicion. Hermione is wary of Snape due to his reputation, and Snape initially sees Hermione as just another student. But as he starts to help her, like when he gives her advice on how to deal with a particularly tricky magical creature in Care of Magical Creatures class, she begins to see a different side of him. Their relationship then slowly develops into a mutual respect as they work together on various tasks around Hogwarts.

Snape would probably be quite surprised at first. Hermione is known for her academic prowess and self - sufficiency. His reaction could range from being dismissive, thinking she should be able to solve her own problems, to being intrigued by the nature of her request. If it's something related to the dark arts or a mystery in the wizarding world, his interest might be piqued, but he'd still be guarded in his response. He might even try to use her request as a way to gain some advantage or information for himself.

She might give him cold stares in class. Hermione is not one to shy away from showing her emotions through her expressions. So, every time Snape is in her line of sight, she could fix him with a withering glare that clearly shows her displeasure.
