One possible fanfiction could be about Snape taking Hermione under his wing after realizing her extraordinary intelligence and potential. He might secretly tutor her in advanced potions and dark arts defense, leading to a unique bond between them. This could also cause some conflict with other Hogwarts staff and students, as Snape has a rather infamous reputation.
One possible plotline could be that Hermione discovers a way to time - travel and goes back to Snape's childhood. She decides to raise him in a more positive environment to change his future. Maybe she teaches him about love and friendship from a young age, which alters his personality and his relationship with others at Hogwarts later on.
Hermione would likely become more nurturing. She's used to being the know - it - all student, but raising Snape would force her to be more empathetic and patient. Her development would involve learning to deal with a child's emotions and insecurities, which would make her a more well - rounded character.
The story could also impact the fight against Voldemort. Hermione's knowledge and skills, enhanced by Snape, could give the Order of the Phoenix an edge. She might be able to develop new spells or strategies to combat the Death Eaters. Also, her relationship with Snape could lead to some unexpected alliances within the wizarding world, as people might be forced to re - evaluate their opinions of both of them.
At first, their relationship might be rocky. Snape is known for his harshness and Hermione is headstrong. But as time passes, they would start to understand each other better. Snape would see Hermione's thirst for knowledge and Hermione would see Snape's hidden kindness. Eventually, they could form a bond like that of a father - daughter relationship. Snape would be proud of Hermione's achievements in magic and Hermione would respect Snape's wisdom.
One idea could be that Snape takes Harry in secretly. He teaches Harry advanced potions and magic in a more personal way, away from the prying eyes of Hogwarts. Harry begins to see Snape in a new light, not as the mean professor but as a strict yet caring guardian.
One great Snape and Hermione fanfiction is 'The Unbreakable Bond'. In this story, Hermione discovers a hidden side of Snape during her research in the Hogwarts library. Their relationship starts as a mentorship but gradually evolves into a deep friendship that defies the expectations of the wizarding world. It beautifully portrays their individual characters and how they can complement each other.
The 'time - travel' trope is also quite common. For example, Hermione might go back in time and interact with a younger Snape, which can lead to all sorts of new storylines and character developments.
Well, Harry might become a much more serious student. Snape, being strict, could push Harry to excel in Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts even more. He might also instill in Harry a sense of discipline that he didn't have before. And Harry could gain a different perspective on Snape, perhaps seeing him as a father figure over time.
One interesting plot could be that Snape, in raising Harry, discovers a new side of the boy. He realizes that Harry has a natural talent for potions that was overlooked. Snape starts to teach Harry advanced potions techniques, and they form a sort of begrudging respect for each other. Harry begins to understand Snape's past and why he was so bitter, which changes their relationship for the better.
