The punishment can also lead to a power struggle. Hermione is a strong - willed character. If Snape punishes her, like taking away her library privileges, she might fight back in her own ways. This back - and - forth can create a dynamic where they are constantly challenging each other, which in some fanfictions, can eventually lead to a strange kind of respect or even a friendship as they learn to navigate their differences.
On the other hand, sometimes the punishment can lead to an unexpected understanding. Snape might see Ginny's potential through her mistakes during the punishment process. For example, he could notice her determination when she has to complete a difficult task as punishment, and Ginny might also realize that Snape's strictness is not entirely without reason. This could gradually transform their relationship from one of animosity to a more complex, grudging respect.
Snape's punishment can initially strain their relationship. Draco might feel resentful towards Snape for singling him out and giving him harsh punishments. For example, if Snape makes Draco clean the Potions classroom alone, Draco may think Snape is being unfair. However, in the long run, it could also strengthen their relationship. As Draco matures, he may come to understand that Snape's punishments were a way to guide him and keep him out of real trouble.
Often, it can add an interesting dynamic. It might initially make Snape more hostile towards Hermione, but over time, he could come to respect her boldness. For example, if she constantly challenges his views in class through her teasing remarks, he may start to see her as a worthy adversary, which could lead to a grudging respect.
In some fanfictions, Hermione's head trauma might initially make Snape more distant. He may see her as a liability or someone who can't keep up with her studies due to her condition. However, as the story progresses, he might notice her determination to overcome it and start to respect her more.
It can create tension in the plot. Harry's reaction to the punishment, whether it's defiance or acceptance, can drive the story forward. For example, if he defies Snape, it may lead to more conflicts between them.
In the fanfiction, the relationship may start off with Snape being rather cold and distant towards Hermione as his familiar. However, as Hermione proves herself time and again, perhaps by using her unique skills to solve problems that Snape couldn't on his own, he starts to warm up to her. Their relationship then develops into a more complex one, where they have a mutual respect and a sort of unspoken understanding. This could involve Snape sharing some of his own magical knowledge with Hermione in a way that he would never do with other students, and Hermione in turn, helping Snape with his personal and professional matters, such as dealing with the other Hogwarts faculty or protecting the school from hidden threats.
The secrets could create a bond of trust between them. If Hermione shares her fears, Snape might offer his protection or advice. This would make their relationship more complex and deeper than just a student - teacher one in the fanfiction world.
It could initially cause a great deal of shock and discomfort for Hermione. She might view Snape with even more suspicion and dislike, thinking he has some ulterior motive. For Snape, he may be embarrassed by the accidental contact and try to distance himself even more from Hermione, worsening their already strained relationship.
In fanfiction, the Time - Turner can be a tool to bring Hermione and Snape closer. For example, if Hermione uses it to help Snape with a past event, he may start to trust her more. This newfound trust can change their relationship from one of animosity in the original story to a more collaborative and understanding one. They might share secrets and knowledge that they wouldn't have otherwise.
The relationship could become very complex. Hermione might feel burdened by the secrets. She has to keep them from her friends, which could cause strain. On the other hand, Snape might start to rely on Hermione more, seeing her as someone who can understand his motives. This new dynamic could create a lot of internal conflict for both of them, as they navigate between their old roles and the new relationship based on shared secrets.
