Well, 'The Road to Trust' is a fanfiction that focuses on Hermione's growing trust in Snape. It explores how Hermione, with her logical mind, overcomes the common perception of Snape. The story shows her analyzing his actions and words carefully, which eventually leads to her trusting him. Then there's 'Hermione's Trust in Snape: A New Beginning'. This fanfic takes place after the war. Hermione, in her pursuit of knowledge about the Dark Arts, turns to Snape for guidance. Through their study sessions, she begins to trust him more than she ever thought she would.
One example could be 'The Unlikely Bond'. In this fanfiction, Hermione discovers Snape's hidden motives during the war and gradually comes to trust him. It shows how Hermione, with her inquisitive nature, digs deeper into Snape's actions and realizes he was not as bad as she initially thought. Another good one is 'Hermione's New Perspective'. Here, after a series of magical mishaps, Hermione and Snape are forced to work together. Through their interactions, Hermione begins to see Snape in a new light and trust is slowly built between them.
A great fanfic in this regard is 'Trust Beyond Prejudice'. It starts with Hermione being skeptical of Snape as everyone else is. But as she delves into the secrets of Hogwarts and Snape's past, she starts to question her own beliefs. The author does a wonderful job of portraying Hermione's journey towards trusting Snape. There's also 'Snape and Hermione: An Unexpected Alliance' where they team up to solve a mystery that threatens Hogwarts. In the process, Hermione learns to trust Snape's expertise and judgment.
In many such fanfictions, they are forced to work together on a task or to solve a mystery. This shared goal makes them interact more frequently. As they spend time together, Hermione begins to see Snape's intelligence and his complex personality. She realizes that there is more to him than the cold exterior he shows. Snape, on the other hand, starts to respect Hermione's intellect and determination. This mutual respect and understanding gradually build their relationship into one of trust.
One good example of 'Hermione needs Snape' fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Alliance' (assuming it exists, just for the sake of example). In this story, Hermione might be in a situation where she has to rely on Snape for some crucial knowledge or protection. Maybe she's on a dangerous mission and Snape is the only one who can help her with some dark magic she doesn't understand. Another could be 'Hermione's Hidden Helper' where Snape secretly aids Hermione in her studies or in dealing with some Hogwarts politics, which she desperately needs.
In some fanfictions, a great plot twist is that Snape is not really who he seems in terms of his magical abilities. He might be hiding a much greater power, and Hermione discovers this during a crucial moment. This discovery makes her trust in him even stronger as she realizes he has been hiding his true self not to intimidate others but to protect the wizarding world in his own way. Also, there could be a twist where Snape and Hermione are the only ones who can access a powerful, ancient magic, and this shared ability and the secrets it holds lead to a deeper level of trust between them.
A great fanfic could be where Hermione stands up for Snape when some other characters are gossiping about his past as a Death Eater. She might argue that people should be judged by their present actions and not be condemned forever for past mistakes. She could point out how Snape has risked his life countless times to protect the students at Hogwarts, like when he tried to keep the Death Eaters at bay during the school's attacks. This shows that Hermione recognizes his true worth and is not afraid to go against the popular opinion to defend him.
One example could be in a fanfic where Hermione uses her quick wit during a classroom duel simulation. She might make sly remarks about Snape's teaching methods while outmaneuvering him in the duel, teasing him in a way that shows her confidence and intelligence.
One reason could be that in fanfiction, authors often like to explore alternative character relationships. Hermione is highly intelligent and perceptive. She might come to trust Snape if she discovers his true motives behind his often - cold exterior. Maybe she stumbles upon his memories or some hidden evidence that shows he was acting in the greater good all along, like his role in protecting Harry from Voldemort.
There are fanfictions where Snape gets jealous when Hermione spends time with Harry or Ron. He then starts to subtly control her time, making sure she spends more time with him. For instance, he might give her extra assignments that require her to be in his office alone with him, which is a sign of his possessiveness.
One example could be in a fanfic where there's a potions competition. Snape assumes Hermione will follow the traditional methods, but she comes up with a completely innovative solution. Another example might be in a situation where Snape doubts Hermione's ability to solve a complex magical riddle, but she figures it out quickly.
Well, in some fanfictions, it might start with Hermione noticing Snape's hidden acts of kindness. For example, she could observe him secretly helping students in ways that others don't see. This makes her question the common perception of him as a cold and mean teacher. As she delves deeper, perhaps she discovers his more complex past and motives, gradually building trust.
One great example could be a story where Snape secretly protects Hermione from some dark forces in Hogwarts that the other professors are unaware of. He might use his knowledge of the Dark Arts to counter any threats aimed at her.
