Often, a common plot device is a shared mission or mystery. They are forced to work together, like in a search for a lost magical artifact or to solve a dark curse that is affecting Hogwarts. During this time, they start to see the good in each other. Snape realizes Hermione's tenacity and loyalty, and Hermione sees the depth of Snape's knowledge and the reasons behind his often - gruff exterior. As they spend more time together, their relationship gradually shifts from one of distrust or indifference to one of mutual respect and, eventually, deeper feelings.
In many of these fanfictions, the relationship often starts with a moment of realization for Snape. For example, he might notice Hermione's intelligence in a new light during a difficult class situation or a dangerous encounter in the wizarding world. This initial spark then leads to him observing her more closely, which in turn catches Hermione's attention.
