There's a fic where the Slytherins take Hermione under their wing during a particularly dangerous time at Hogwarts. They start to respect her for her knowledge of magic and her courage. They form an unlikely alliance with her, and the story shows how they use their Slytherin cunning to keep her safe from dark forces that are lurking in the school. It's a story that really plays with the idea of different house relationships in the Harry Potter universe.
One great Hermione and Slytherins fanfiction is 'A Different Sort of Bond'. It explores the relationship between Hermione and a group of Slytherins in a really interesting way. The characters are well - written and it shows how Hermione can break the stereotypes associated with Gryffindors and Slytherins.
One key element is the change in the Slytherin characters. Usually, in the original series, there's a lot of rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor where Hermione belongs. So in these fics, the Slytherins have to change their views, like realizing Hermione's worth despite her being a Gryffindor and a Muggle - born. For example, they might see how her intelligence can benefit them all in the long run.
One great fanfiction with this plot is 'Slytherin's Compassion'. In it, a group of Slytherins come across an injured Hermione in the Forbidden Forest. They initially have mixed reactions but end up helping her. It shows a different side of the Slytherin house.
There's also 'The Slytherin Guard for Hermione'. This fanfic shows how some Slytherins, who have grown tired of the house's bad reputation, choose Hermione as the symbol of their change. They protect her from dark wizards who target her for her Muggle - born status. It's an interesting take on how Slytherins can be allies.
I recall a story titled 'Snape's Watchful Eye on Hermione'. It shows Snape noticing Hermione's potential early on. He starts leaving little hints and protective spells around her. The story also delves into Snape's complex feelings, as he sees a bit of himself in Hermione's thirst for knowledge and her outsider status among some of the Gryffindors.
One great fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Bond'. In it, a Slytherin and a Gryffindor are paired for a project. At first, they're at odds, but as they face challenges together, they start to understand and respect each other. Their friendship grows as they realize that their house differences don't define who they are as individuals.
One reason could be that they see her intelligence as an asset. Hermione is known for her brilliant mind, and Slytherins, who value cunning and resourcefulness, might respect that. They could also recognize her strength in the face of adversity and be drawn to protect her as a way to show their own growth beyond the typical Slytherin - Gryffindor rivalry. In some fanfictions, a Slytherin might have a personal connection or debt to Hermione, which leads to their protective nature towards her.
There are some well - known ones. 'The Slytherin's Savior' is a fanfiction where Slytherins play a role in helping a hurt Hermione. It's popular because it shows a different side of the Slytherin characters, not just as the antagonists. They come together to rescue Hermione when she's in a bad situation.
Well, in some versions, they might use their knowledge of the castle's secret passages to lead the troll away from Hermione. They could also work together as a team, using their Slytherin cunning to outwit the troll.
One example could be a story where a group of Slytherins see Hermione being bullied by some other students for her intelligence and Muggle - born status. A Slytherin who has a secret admiration for her courage steps in and offers her a place to hide and calm down. He might share some of his own experiences of being misunderstood in Slytherin house, making Hermione realize that not all Slytherins are bad.
