There's 'A New Perspective' where Hermione is forced to work with Snape on a special project for the school. As they spend time together, she discovers his love for potions goes beyond just teaching. She starts to understand his sarcasm as a defense mechanism rather than pure meanness. This fanfic is full of great character development for both Hermione and Snape.
One great fanfiction in this category could be 'The Unlikely Bond'. In it, Hermione stumbles upon Snape's hidden past during a library research project. It shows how she begins to see Snape in a different light, not just as the strict professor but as a complex person with a troubled history. It's really interesting to see how their interactions change as she gets to know more about him.
I really like 'Hermione and Snape's Unforeseen Alliance'. In this story, Hermione accidentally uncovers a mystery that Snape has been trying to keep under wraps. This leads to them having many private conversations. Through these exchanges, Hermione gets to know Snape's true motives for his actions in the school and in the wizarding world at large. It's a great read if you're into exploring the relationship between these two characters.
One common theme is redemption. Often, Snape is portrayed as having a chance at redemption through Hermione's new understanding of him. For example, she might find out about his past love for Lily and how it has shaped his actions, leading her to see him in a more sympathetic light.
There's also a fanfic titled 'Lessons Beyond the Classroom'. Here, Hermione stumbles upon the professor's secret hobby, which sparks their connection. They begin to share their thoughts and experiences outside of the regular academic setting. The story beautifully portrays their growing relationship through various shared adventures and discussions.
One interesting fanfic could be 'The Unlikely Attraction'. In it, Hermione's crush on Snape is explored in a very unique way. It delves into how her admiration for his knowledge slowly turns into something more. The author does a great job of showing Hermione's internal struggle as she tries to come to terms with her feelings in a world where such a relationship is frowned upon.
One great fanfiction could be 'A Meeting of Minds' where Hermione and Remus meet in the Hogwarts library. Hermione is researching for a complex spell and Remus, being the knowledgeable wizard he is, offers his help. This leads to a series of conversations where they start to understand each other's perspectives on magic, life at Hogwarts, and their respective backgrounds. It's a slow - burn story that beautifully develops their relationship.
One reason could be that Hermione represents the type of student Snape doesn't really understand. He's used to students who are more slytherin - like, and Hermione's boldness and intelligence expressed in a very Gryffindor way might make him be hard on her. Additionally, in fanfiction, the writers might use this dynamic to create more tension and conflict in the story, which makes for more interesting plot development as Hermione tries to overcome Snape's difficult attitude towards her.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'A Different Perspective'. In this, Snape starts to notice Hermione's intelligence in a new way during a special project in Potions. It shows their relationship evolving as Snape realizes Hermione's potential beyond what he initially thought.
A lesser - known but really good one is 'Hermione and the Werewolf's Tale'. Here, Hermione is assigned a project to study werewolves more closely. Through this, she meets a werewolf who is quite different from what she expected. The fanfiction shows how Hermione overcomes her initial fears and prejudices and forms a strong bond with the werewolf character.
Fanfiction involving such themes can be inappropriate and against the positive spirit of the original 'Harry Potter' series. J.K. Rowling's work focuses on themes like friendship, courage, and magic, not this kind of inappropriate situation. So, I would not recommend seeking such fanfiction.
One great Hermione, Lucius and Snape fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Alliance'. It explores an alternate universe where they have to work together for a common goal. The author does an amazing job of developing their characters in this new context, showing Hermione's intelligence, Lucius's cunning, and Snape's complex nature.
I also like 'Hermione's Christmas Wish'. Here, Hermione makes a wish on a magical Christmas star that somehow involves Snape. The story then unfolds with some unexpected twists as their relationship develops in the context of the Christmas season. It's a very creative take on their potential relationship during this time of year.
