Often, the daughter acts as a bridge between them. She has qualities from both Hermione and Severus. If she inherits Hermione's kindness and Severus' determination, she can inspire them to be better versions of themselves. In the fanfiction world, this can lead to them having a more harmonious relationship. They might start to see the good in each other that they hadn't noticed before because they were too focused on their own differences. The daughter's existence makes them re - evaluate their relationship and work towards a more loving and supportive partnership.
Their relationship could start with mutual respect for each other's intelligence. Hermione respects Severus's knowledge in potions and the Dark Arts, and Severus respects Hermione's quick learning and thirst for knowledge. This respect can gradually turn into a more affectionate father - daughter relationship as they spend more time together.
One idea could be that Severus discovers Hermione is in danger from some dark magic users due to her intelligence and Muggle - born status. He takes it upon himself to protect her like a father would. For example, he could secretly follow her around Hogwarts, using his skills in potions and the Dark Arts to thwart any threats.
A possible plot could involve Hermione inheriting Snape's potions skills in an even more profound way. She could use her combined intelligence from her mother and potions talent from Snape to create new spells or potions. Snape, as her father, would be torn between his loyalty to the Dark Lord (in some versions of the story) and protecting his daughter from the chaos of the wizarding war.
Yes, in some fanfictions, Severus is written as Hermione's father. Fanfiction allows for creative reinterpretations of existing fictional universes. Writers might create this relationship to add new layers of drama, explore different character dynamics, or even to rewrite parts of the original story in a more interesting way.
Magic could play a role. There could be a magical spell or potion that was involved in Hermione's conception that links her to Snape. For example, a potion that alters memories and relationships. This would make for a very interesting and complex backstory in the fanfiction. Snape might not even be aware that he is Hermione's father at first, and when he discovers it, his whole view of her would change. He would have to deal with his feelings of protectiveness and his past actions towards her in Hogwarts.
Yes, there are some fanfictions with this rather interesting and non - canonical concept. You can find them on various fanfiction platforms like FanFiction.net or Archive of Our Own. Just search for the relevant tags or the exact title phrase.
It can also impact the relationships in the story. For instance, Hermione's relationship with Harry and Ron might be different. Since Severus has a complex history with Harry, Hermione being Severus' daughter could create some tension or new alliances. Also, it could change how the other characters view Hermione. They might be more cautious or more curious about her due to her newfound relation to Severus.
One good example could be 'The Unlikely Bond'. In this fanfiction, the story explores how Hermione and Severus could have a daughter in an alternate universe. It delves into the daughter's unique magical abilities, being a blend of Hermione's intelligence and Severus' potions expertise. Another is 'A Daughter's Journey' which focuses on the daughter's struggle to fit in at Hogwarts, given her unusual parentage. It shows how she overcomes prejudice from other students.
I'm not sure if there is such a specific fanfiction. However, in the general context of Hermione and Severus fanfiction, their relationship is often complex. In some fanfictions, they might develop an unexpected bond through shared intellectual pursuits or mutual understanding of the wizarding world's deeper secrets.
