Often, the fan fictions explore how Severus and Harry overcome their differences. Severus is a brooding, complex character, while Harry is more impulsive. The marriage law throws them together, and they have to learn to communicate. This can lead to some really heart - warming moments. For instance, Severus might share his knowledge of potions with Harry in a more intimate way, and Harry could introduce Severus to the joys of Quidditch from a different perspective, not just as a spectator but as someone involved with a player.
Perhaps in this fan fiction, there are secrets about Severus' past that only Harry discovers. This could involve Severus' family or his early days at Hogwarts, which adds a new layer of mystery and drama to their relationship.
As the story progresses, Harry becomes more patient and less impulsive. He learns from Severus' more reserved nature. Severus begins to open up about his past, especially his relationship with Lily. This sharing helps Harry to empathize with him. And through their relationship, both characters become more well - rounded. They are no longer just the 'hero' and the 'grumpy teacher'. Their relationship forces them to grow in ways they wouldn't have otherwise.
One interesting plot point could be how Harry and Severus initially react to the marriage contract. Maybe Harry is shocked and resistant at first, while Severus is more resigned to it due to his sense of duty.
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.
One interesting plot point could be how Ginny and Snape initially react to the marriage law. Ginny might be in shock and disbelief as she has had no prior romantic feelings for Snape. Snape, on the other hand, might be conflicted between his loyalty to the law and his own complex emotions. Another point could be how they navigate their relationship in the wizarding society that is likely to be full of gossip and judgment.
One idea could be that they start off as enemies but are forced into a marriage by some magical law. As they live together, they gradually discover each other's hidden depths and develop a grudging respect that turns into love.
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 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 interesting plot point could be Snape's internal struggle as he decides to save Harry. He has his own complex history with Harry's parents, so having to put aside his grudges and protect the boy adds a lot of depth. Another might be how Harry reacts to being adopted by Snape. Does he initially resist or is he secretly glad to have someone who truly cares in this new version of the story? Also, the way Snape has to hide this new relationship from the rest of the wizarding world to protect Harry from potential enemies or those who might not understand his motives.
