The main characters are obviously Hermione and Severus. Hermione is known for her intelligence, her dedication to her studies, and her strong sense of right and wrong. She is a Gryffindor and has been a key figure in the fight against Voldemort. Severus, on the other hand, is a complex Slytherin. He has a past filled with both good and bad deeds. He was a double agent during the war and has a deep knowledge of potions and the Dark Arts.
Severus could become more accepting of change. Hermione, with her Muggle - born ideas and modern ways, would introduce new concepts to him. He may start to see the wizarding world in a different light. Hermione, on the other hand, might become more guarded. Being associated with Severus, who has a somewhat controversial past, she would have to deal with the stares and whispers, which could make her more cautious in her actions and words.
One interesting plot could be the initial clash of personalities between Hermione and Severus. Hermione, with her strong - willed and intelligent nature, might constantly challenge Severus' more reserved and often - cynical ways. Another plot could be their journey in understanding each other's past traumas. For example, Hermione learning about Severus' unrequited love for Lily and how that shaped him, and Severus coming to appreciate Hermione's Muggle - born status and her fight for equality in the wizarding world.
Hermione is typically portrayed as highly intelligent, studious, and strong - willed. She's not afraid to speak her mind and fight for what she believes in. Severus, on the other hand, is often seen as brooding, sarcastic, and highly skilled in magic. He has a complex past that has made him a rather guarded person.
One possible plotline could be the initial shock and resistance from both Hermione and Severus. Hermione, being a strong - willed and intelligent witch, might struggle with the idea of being forced into a marriage with Severus, who she has had a rather complex relationship with in the original series. Severus, on the other hand, might be initially resentful as well, but as they start to interact more, they discover new sides of each other. For example, Hermione could introduce Severus to new ways of thinking about magic, and Severus could share his deep knowledge of the Dark Arts (in a more positive way) with her.
One possible plotline could be the initial shock and resistance from both Hermione and Severus due to their differences and past interactions. For example, Hermione might be horrified at the idea of being paired with Severus under this law, while Severus would be equally disdainful at first. But as they are forced to co - exist, they start to discover new sides of each other. Maybe Hermione realizes that Severus' cold exterior hides a deeply hurt and complex man, and Severus comes to respect Hermione's intelligence and tenacity.
In this fanfiction scenario, their relationship would be a journey of discovery. Hermione, with her inquisitive nature, would start to dig deeper into Snape's past. She might find out about his unrequited love for Lily and understand his pain. Snape, on the other hand, would be exposed to Hermione's modern - thinking and her ideas about equality in the wizarding world. This exchange of ideas and emotions would be the foundation for their relationship development. They would have to overcome their initial differences, like Snape's cold exterior and Hermione's sometimes over - eagerness. But as they do, they would form a relationship based on mutual understanding and shared goals, such as improving Hogwarts or changing the wizarding society's views.
One idea could be that the marriage law forces them to live together. At first, they are at odds, but as time goes on, they start to understand each other's intelligence. Snape realizes Hermione's thirst for knowledge is similar to his own. They begin to study potions together, and Snape teaches her some of his advanced techniques. Slowly, a bond forms between them that goes beyond the forced marriage.
The fanfiction can also show how they both develop in their views of different houses. Severus, as a Slytherin, has always had a certain bias against Gryffindors. But Hermione, being a Gryffindor, challenges his views. As they get closer, Severus starts to see the good in Gryffindors through Hermione. Hermione also starts to understand the Slytherin values of ambition and cunning in a more positive light, as she sees these traits in Severus and how they can be used for good when combined with the right intentions.
Another plot could involve them facing external threats due to their marriage. Some dark wizards or witches might see their union as a threat to their own plans. Maybe they believe that Severus and Hermione together could discover a powerful magic that could disrupt their evil schemes. So they try to break up the couple. Severus and Hermione then have to rely on their combined wits and magic skills to fend off these threats, which in turn strengthens their relationship.
