Well, it often starts with a lot of misunderstandings. Snape has his own preconceived notions about Hermione as a Gryffindor student, and Hermione has her own view of Snape as a strict and often unfair teacher. However, as they live together, small moments start to change their relationship. For example, when Hermione is having trouble with a particularly difficult spell, Snape doesn't scold her but instead patiently guides her. This gradually builds trust between them, and they form a unique bond that is different from the typical student - teacher relationship or even a normal father - daughter relationship.
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.
At first, Hermione might be suspicious of Snape's new - found protectiveness. But as time goes on, she starts to see that he has good intentions. Snape, on the other hand, gradually warms up to Hermione more and more, sharing his knowledge and advice with her.
At first, it would be really rocky. Harry has a history of distrusting Snape, and Hermione might be a bit cautious too. But as time passes, Snape's care for them in his own strict way would start to show. He'd probably be tough on them about their studies, but they'd see it's because he wants them to succeed.
The relationship might start off on a rocky note. Snape, being strict, would be angry at Hermione's naughtiness. But as time goes on, he could start to respect her intelligence. For example, if she was naughty by trying to improve a potion in an unorthodox way, he might see her potential.
At first, their relationship would likely be tense. Snape is known for his dislike of Gryffindors, and Hermione is a prime example of a Gryffindor student. But being in the close quarters of the supply closet might force them to communicate more directly. They could start to see past their initial prejudices. Maybe Snape would recognize Hermione's intelligence and Hermione would see that Snape has reasons for his cold exterior.
Well, initially, Harry might be resistant to the idea of being adopted by Snape. He may think it's some sort of trick. But Snape, with his own sense of duty and newfound affection for Harry, tries to break through that resistance. As they spend more time together, Snape might share his own experiences at Hogwarts when he was a student, which helps Harry relate to him. And Harry, in return, might show Snape the good qualities he has inherited from his mother. This exchange of vulnerabilities and shared experiences gradually deepens their relationship into something more like a real father - son relationship.
Well, initially McGonagall adopts Hermione out of a sense of duty and seeing Hermione's need for a more stable environment. In the beginning, Hermione is a bit in awe of McGonagall. But as they live together, they start to have small moments of connection. For example, over a shared cup of tea while discussing a difficult spell. Slowly, they start to understand each other's quirks. McGonagall learns about Hermione's passion for knowledge and Hermione discovers McGonagall's softer side. Their relationship blossoms into a beautiful and deep bond that affects both of their lives positively at Hogwarts and beyond.
Well, often the list serves as a catalyst. It could be a list of dangerous magical items or secrets. Snape and Hermione are drawn into the mystery of the list. At first, they clash because of their different personalities and past experiences. However, as they face the challenges related to the list, they find common ground. Snape might start to see Hermione not just as a know - it - all student, but as a capable witch. Hermione, in turn, might understand Snape's guarded nature better. They develop a bond that is based on mutual trust and a shared goal of uncovering the truth about the list.
Their relationship could develop gradually. At first, they might be very guarded around each other due to their differences. For example, Snape's initial dislike for Gryffindors and Hermione being a proud Gryffindor. But as they play Truth or Dare, they start to understand each other better. Each truth revealed and dare completed chips away at the barriers between them.
Well, in some fanfictions, their relationship might start with Snape initially being dismissive of Hermione but gradually seeing her unique intelligence. He could start to secretly protect her in dangerous situations, like in the wizarding battles. As time goes on, Hermione might break through Snape's cold exterior and they form an unlikely bond based on mutual respect for each other's magical abilities and knowledge.
