The story could have Snape's medical expertise coming into play when Hermione is injured or ill. This could create tension and drama as they navigate through professional and personal boundaries. It might also introduce elements of romance or friendship that grow out of their shared experiences in the medical field.
Well, it could start with a medical emergency for Hermione that brings her to Snape's doorstep. From there, their interactions could reveal hidden aspects of their characters and build a complex relationship. Maybe there's a mystery illness or a series of challenging cases that they have to solve together.
The plot could take many directions. It might deal with the reactions of other characters to Ron's sexuality and how that influences the relationships. Maybe there are challenges or conflicts that arise specifically because of this twist.
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.
One possible plot could be that Hermione is struggling with the pressures of her studies and the ongoing battle against the Dark Arts. Snape, being a complex character, might notice her distress in his own way. Maybe he initially dismisses it but then realizes she's in a deeper state of depression. He could then use his knowledge of potions to try and help her, leading to an unexpected bond between them.
One possible plot could be that Snape discovers Hermione has been sneaking into the restricted section of the library for some research that could get her in big trouble. He threatens to expose her to the school authorities unless she does his bidding, like helping him with some dangerous potions experiments. This would put Hermione in a difficult situation as she doesn't want to break the rules further but also doesn't want to get in trouble.
A great plot twist could be that younger Snape actually has some knowledge of Hermione's time - traveling. Maybe he's been having strange dreams about the future and when he meets Hermione, he realizes she's part of it. This would completely change the power dynamic between them.
Snape might initially be shocked. He's not one to show much emotion openly, but internally he could be very disturbed. He might start investigating what happened to Hermione immediately, using his skills in potions and magic to try and find a cure or at least understand the cause.
This could be a modern AU (Alternate Universe) fanfiction where the magical setting is replaced with a contemporary one and Snape takes on a non-magical job like being a bartender.
Hermione might become more guarded at first. She is used to being independent and suddenly being 'gifted' to Snape is a big change. But over time, she could learn to be more patient and understanding. Snape, on the other hand, might soften a bit. His usual cold exterior could crack as he gets to know Hermione better.
It's hard to say exactly. Maybe the kidnapping leads to revelations about Snape's past or uncovers a deeper conspiracy within the Death Eaters. It could also trigger a series of magical battles and strategic escapes.
