Yes, there are quite a few. Some fanfictions explore Harry forming friendships with Slytherins in unique ways. For example, in some stories, they bond over shared interests in potions or a mutual understanding of the pressure they face at Hogwarts. These friendships often lead to new alliances and help break down the traditional house rivalries.
There are quite a few. Some fanfics focus on individual Slytherin students who form an unlikely bond with Harry. They might protect him from the dark forces that are after him, seeing him as more than just the 'Chosen One' but as a friend in need. These fanfics often explore the idea that not all Slytherins are bad and can be quite heroic when it comes to protecting someone they believe in.
There's also 'Slytherin's Shield'. Here, Harry protects the Slytherins during the war. He forms an alliance with some of the more noble - minded Slytherins and uses his influence to keep them safe from Voldemort's wrath as well as from the suspicion of the other houses. It's a great read for those who like to see character development and unexpected alliances.
One popular 'Harry Defends Slytherins' fanfic might be 'Slytherin's Champion' where Harry stands up for his Slytherin friends against baseless accusations. In this fanfic, he realizes that not all Slytherins are bad after getting to know some of them personally.
It could also be due to the influence of the Slytherin house values in the fanfic world. Some fanfic writers might emphasize the more self - serving and cunning aspects of Slytherin, and so a Slytherin character might hurt Harry in order to gain an advantage, whether it's in school politics or in the wizarding world at large.
One example could be Draco Malfoy. In some fanfics, Draco, being a Slytherin, might hurt Harry through his mean words or actions. He often taunts Harry in the original series, and in fanfic, this could be exaggerated to cause more harm.
Well, they might become more empathetic. Usually, Slytherins are seen as cunning and self - serving, but taking care of Hermione could soften them. For example, they might start to consider the well - being of others more often.
Well, in some versions, they might use their knowledge of the castle's secret passages to lead the troll away from Hermione. They could also work together as a team, using their Slytherin cunning to outwit the troll.
The fanfiction 'Hermione and the Slytherin Saviors' is quite good. When Hermione is attacked by a rogue magical creature, a couple of Slytherin students find her. They have to decide whether to follow their house's reputation or do the right thing. It's a story full of moral dilemmas and character growth.
