What are some possible plotlines in fanfiction where Snape and Hermione interact?

One possible plotline could be that Hermione is forced to work under Snape in a special project. She initially resists his strict methods but gradually comes to understand his perspective and submits to his more experienced guidance in potions or some other area of magic. For example, Snape might be in charge of a top - secret research project and Hermione, with her brilliant mind, is chosen to assist. Through their interactions, she realizes that his seemingly harsh demands are actually aimed at achieving the best results.

One plotline could be that they are victims of a prank by some mischievous students using a new, untested spell. They then have to figure out how to break free and also how to deal with the fallout of being in such an embarrassing situation together.

Maybe Hermione is injured while exploring some dangerous magical ruins. Snape is the only one around with the knowledge and power to heal her. As he heals her, they start to have deep conversations about magic, life, and their respective pasts, which in turn builds a connection between them.

Perhaps in a fanfiction, Snape's fists are a part of a memory. For example, Hermione discovers a memory of Snape's past where his fists were involved in a fight related to something that would later impact his relationship with her. It could be a way to explore his character's backstory and how it ties to Hermione.

Maybe they work together to tutor a group of struggling students. Snape is initially reluctant as he doesn't think Hermione can teach his way. But Hermione's fresh approach and her ability to connect with the students on a different level start to change Snape's mind. As they work together, they develop a new teaching method that benefits all the students involved.

One possible plotline could be that Hermione discovers a way to time - travel and goes back to Snape's childhood. She decides to raise him in a more positive environment to change his future. Maybe she teaches him about love and friendship from a young age, which alters his personality and his relationship with others at Hogwarts later on.

Perhaps Snape is under a spell that makes him act this way towards Hermione. He starts to give her special attention in class, praising her more than usual and even asking her to stay after class for 'private tutoring'. Hermione, on the other hand, tries to figure out if this is really Snape or if there is some dark magic at play. She may start to investigate, which could lead to an adventure of sorts as she tries to break the spell if there is one.

One possible plotline could be Snape secretly protecting Hermione throughout her time at Hogwarts. He might give her special attention in Potions class, for example.

There could also be a plotline where Hermione discovers some of Snape's past traumas and in trying to help him, they form a bond. Snape, out of gratitude and a newfound respect for her, starts to take care of her like a mentor. He shields her from the harsh judgments of other Hogwarts professors and students alike, and together they work towards a better future for the wizarding world.

One plotline could be that they got married secretly to protect each other. Maybe Snape has some dangerous enemies and Hermione wants to help him, so they tie the knot in secret. Another could be that they fell in love while working on a very complex magical project together and decided to marry without anyone knowing because they feared the reaction of others.
