There's a fanfiction called 'Seeing Snape's Plight: The Marauders' Awakening'. It shows how the Marauders, through various events and interactions, gradually become aware of the abuse Severus Snape has faced. It also delves into their guilt and attempts to make amends. The story is well - written and does a great job of exploring the characters' emotions and the complex situation.
Yes, it is possible. In fanfiction, the boundaries of the original story can be stretched. Snape's complex character and the Marauders' wild nature offer rich material. Writers can explore what could have been if they overcame their differences. Maybe they find common ground in their love for magic or a shared goal at Hogwarts.
One interesting plotline could be exploring Snape's early interactions with the Marauders. Maybe it shows how his enmity with them truly began. For example, it could focus on a particular incident in their school days that was a turning point.
In such a fanfiction, we would see character development on all sides. Snape would become more open and less bitter. The Marauders would become more empathetic. There could be a sub - plot where Snape helps Sirius Black with some family - related dark magic issues, as Snape has a deep understanding of the Dark Arts. And the friendship could also have an impact on the overall Hogwarts atmosphere. Instead of the constant tension between Snape and the Marauders, there would be a new sense of unity that spreads among the students, leading to a more harmonious Hogwarts environment.
Well, 'Snape Among the Marauders: A Different Perspective' is also a great one. It gives a new view on Snape's relationship with the Marauders. It might show how Snape's early experiences with them shaped his later life. And then there's 'The Marauders and Snape: Unlikely Bonds' which could be about how unexpected friendships start to form between them in a Hogwarts that's facing some kind of internal turmoil.
Snape himself is often very well - written. Writers can delve deep into his complex personality, his insecurities, and his loyalty. They can show his internal struggle between his love for Lily and his hatred for James Potter and the other Marauders.
One consequence could be a change in Snape's personality. If Hermione saves him, he might be less bitter towards Gryffindors. He may see that not all Gryffindors are like the Marauders who bullied him. This could lead to a more positive relationship between Snape and the students in Gryffindor house in the future. For example, he might be more lenient in his grading or more helpful in potions class for Gryffindor students.
One way it could happen is if Hermione discovers a time - turning device in the Marauders' era. She might use her advanced knowledge to figure out that Snape is in danger. For example, she could know about some plot by the Marauders to prank Snape in a way that could turn deadly. She then steps in, using her magic skills and intelligence to prevent the harm. Maybe she creates a diversion or uses a protection spell to shield Snape.
One great fanfiction is 'The Marauders' Map to Snape's Heart'. It delves into the complex relationships during that era, showing how Snape interacted with the Marauders in ways that the original books only hinted at. It gives a more in - depth look at his character, his unrequited love for Lily, and how the Marauders' actions affected him.
In some fanfictions, they start off as bitter enemies as in the original story. But as the plot progresses, they might find common ground. For example, if there's a threat to Hogwarts that's bigger than their personal grudges, they may work together and their relationship turns into a more respectful one.
