One idea could be that the marriage law forces them to live together. At first, they are at odds, but as time goes on, they start to understand each other's intelligence. Snape realizes Hermione's thirst for knowledge is similar to his own. They begin to study potions together, and Snape teaches her some of his advanced techniques. Slowly, a bond forms between them that goes beyond the forced marriage.
In a fanfiction plot, the marriage law might be a way to strengthen Hogwarts. Snape and Hermione are paired up. Hermione tries to bring out Snape's kinder side. She starts by cleaning up his potions classroom and organizing his supplies. Snape is initially annoyed but then sees her dedication. They start to communicate about their different experiences at Hogwarts. Snape shares his memories of being bullied, and Hermione shares her struggles as a Muggle - born. This mutual sharing leads to a deeper connection and eventually love.
Well, a plot could be that there is a mystery in Hogwarts that only Snape and Hermione seem to notice. They start investigating together, initially distrusting each other. As they dig deeper, they find that it is related to a long - forgotten potion recipe. Along the way, they have to face challenges like avoiding other teachers' suspicions and dealing with some magical creatures that are guarding parts of the mystery. Another interesting plot could be that Snape and Hermione are magically linked in some way, perhaps due to a spell gone wrong. They start experiencing each other's emotions and memories, which forces them to understand each other on a much deeper level. This could lead to a whole new relationship between them, different from the typical student - teacher dynamic.
One idea could be a time - travel plot where Hermione goes back in time and has to work with a younger Severus Snape. They could team up to prevent a dark wizard from rising earlier than in the original timeline. This would put them in a situation where they have to trust each other despite their differences in age and temperament.
One idea could be that they initially resist the marriage law but gradually find common ground in their love for knowledge. They start sharing potions recipes and Hermione teaches Severus about Muggle literature. Their relationship evolves from a forced union to a real, loving one as they discover each other's hidden depths.
One plot idea could be Hermione and Severus initially hating the idea of the arranged marriage. Hermione might try to find a way out while Severus is conflicted between his past prejudices and the new situation. As they are forced to spend time together, they gradually discover each other's hidden depths. For example, Hermione realizes Severus's great knowledge of the Dark Arts which he can use to protect her in a dangerous situation, and Severus comes to respect Hermione's intelligence and courage.
One interesting plot could be the initial clash of personalities between Hermione and Severus. Hermione, with her strong - willed and intelligent nature, might constantly challenge Severus' more reserved and often - cynical ways. Another plot could be their journey in understanding each other's past traumas. For example, Hermione learning about Severus' unrequited love for Lily and how that shaped him, and Severus coming to appreciate Hermione's Muggle - born status and her fight for equality in the wizarding world.
One possible plotline could be the initial shock and resistance from both Hermione and Severus. Hermione, being a strong - willed and intelligent witch, might struggle with the idea of being forced into a marriage with Severus, who she has had a rather complex relationship with in the original series. Severus, on the other hand, might be initially resentful as well, but as they start to interact more, they discover new sides of each other. For example, Hermione could introduce Severus to new ways of thinking about magic, and Severus could share his deep knowledge of the Dark Arts (in a more positive way) with her.
One idea could be that the marriage law forces Hermione and Neville to get married, but at first they are hesitant. However, as they start to live together, they discover each other's hidden talents. For example, Neville shows his amazing skills in herbology which Hermione admires. They gradually fall in love as they face challenges together, like dealing with the expectations of their friends and family who had different ideas about their relationship.
Maybe in the fanfiction, the marriage law is a ploy by a dark wizard to disrupt the order in Hogwarts. Hermione and Minerva have to pretend to be happily married to fool the enemy. During this time, they learn about each other's insecurities and strengths. Hermione might introduce Minerva to some modern Muggle concepts that could be useful in their fight against the dark forces, and their relationship gradually turns into a real and deep connection.
A plot could revolve around a marriage law that was created to strengthen pure - blood and half - blood relations. Hermione, being a Muggle - born, faces a lot of opposition. Harry stands by her side and they fight against the discriminatory aspects of the law. They could go on a journey to find ancient magic that could nullify this unjust law. Along the way, they meet different characters who either help or hinder them, and their relationship grows stronger as they face these difficulties together.
Well, a great plot idea could be that they are paired by the Marriage Law and have to pretend to be a happy couple in public for some political or social reasons in the wizarding world. But in private, they are constantly bickering. As time goes on, they find that they can't help but fall for each other. They might also face challenges from Draco's old Death Eater associates who don't approve of his union with Hermione.
