The teachers at Hogwarts would have mixed reactions. McGonagall might be a bit hesitant, not fully trusting Snape's intentions but also knowing that Dumbledore has some level of trust in him. Flitwick might be more open - minded and wait to see what happens. And the other dark - arts - related professors or those with a more complex view of Snape might be intrigued to see how this situation unfolds and how it might impact the balance of power within the school and in the wizarding world as a whole.
Well, perhaps there was an emergency at Hogwarts. Maybe some dark forces were approaching, and Snape, being a powerful wizard and a Hogwarts professor, felt it was his responsibility to pick Harry up. Harry was always a target for the dark side. Also, it could be that Snape had some new information about Harry's family or his destiny that made him decide to take Harry under his wing, so to speak, by picking him up.
A common theme is redemption. Snape has a lot of baggage in the original story, and in fanfictions where he picks up Harry, it can be a way for him to redeem himself in Harry's eyes. It might involve Snape making amends for his past actions towards Harry and his father.
One popular interpretation is that it shows a different side of Snape's character. Maybe in these fanfictions, Snape is shown to have a more paternal or protective instinct towards Harry, which is a huge contrast to his often cold and harsh demeanor in the original books. It could be a way for fans to explore the 'what if' scenarios, like what if Snape had been more open about his complex feelings towards Harry earlier on.
One possible plotline could be that Harry discovers Snape has been secretly working against him in a way that endangers his friends, and in a fit of rage, he attacks Snape. For example, if Snape was found to be involved in a plot to harm Hermione or Ron.
One great 'Draco picks up Harry' fanfiction is 'The Binding'. It's a well - written story that delves into their complex relationship. The author does a great job of developing their characters in a new and interesting way outside of the original series' narrative.
One popular trope is the 'enemies to lovers'. Since Draco and Harry were sort of enemies in the original series, seeing their relationship transform in fanfiction is really appealing. Another is the 'redemption arc' for Draco, where his act of picking up Harry is part of his journey to become a better person.
She could get bitten. Snakes can be dangerous and if she's not an expert, picking one up is risky.
One possible reason could be that Snape suspects Harry of something dangerous or against the school rules. Maybe he thinks Harry is involved in some secret Dark Arts activities and ties him up to prevent him from causing further trouble or escaping while he investigates.
Well, in fanfiction, if Harry picks up Thor's hammer, he might gain the powers associated with it. He could suddenly have enhanced strength, the ability to control lightning to some extent, and be deemed worthy in the eyes of the Asgardian magic that governs the hammer. It would be a really cool twist as Harry comes from a world of magic already, and this would be like adding another layer of powerful magic to his repertoire.
He could also be shocked into momentary silence. His first sight of Harry might bring back a flood of memories, both good and bad. Maybe he freezes for a second, his mind racing with thoughts of Lily, Harry's mother, and how things could have been different. Then he quickly composes himself and tries to hide his inner turmoil behind his usual stern facade.
