No, it's not that common. Most fanfiction about Hermione focuses on her relationships with other characters like Harry or Ron, or her academic achievements at Hogwarts.
I don't think it's common. Fanfiction usually gravitates towards more well - known aspects of a character. Hermione is more often depicted in adventures, solving mysteries, or in romantic scenarios rather than an activity like rubbing against a broom.
It could be about Hermione having an accidental or magical encounter while near a broom. Maybe she's in a rush and brushes against it in a way that sets off a series of strange events, like the broom starts to glow or move on its own.
One possible interpretation could be that in the fanfiction, Draco's action of rubbing against a broom is symbolic. Maybe it represents his restlessness or a newfound curiosity. In some fanfiction, such actions are used to show a character's out - of - the - ordinary behavior that leads to a unique plot development.
It's hard to say for sure as it's a very strange and specific concept. Maybe it could be some sort of magical accident where Hermione is affected by a charm on the broom and has an unusual interaction. But this is just speculation.
In fanfiction, Draco rubbing against a broom might simply be a way to add an element of the strange or unexpected. It could be the author's way of creating a vivid and unique image that grabs the reader's attention.
Another plotline might involve a magical accident. For example, a spell goes wrong during a Defense Against the Dark Arts class and Snape and Hermione are caught in its effects. They end up in a situation where they are physically close and 'rubbing up against' each other in a strange magical way. This could force them to work together to reverse the spell, leading to character development and an unexpected bond.
Yes, there might be some fanfiction out there that is appropriate in terms of handling the relationship in a more platonic or positive way. However, you need to be careful while searching as there could also be inappropriate content. Some fanfiction platforms have filters and reviews that can help you find the ones that are more in line with what you're looking for in a non - offensive way.
It could also be a situation where Snape is trying to get Hermione's attention in a rather clumsy way. In fanfiction, he might be secretly impressed by her magical abilities and this 'rubbing against' could be his awkward attempt to start a conversation or give her a hint about something.
It could initially cause a great deal of shock and discomfort for Hermione. She might view Snape with even more suspicion and dislike, thinking he has some ulterior motive. For Snape, he may be embarrassed by the accidental contact and try to distance himself even more from Hermione, worsening their already strained relationship.
In the world of Harry Potter fanfiction, there are countless stories with different themes and plotlines. But when it comes to something as specific and potentially inappropriate as 'Snape rubs himself against Harry', it's not something that is likely to be widely promoted or supported. Fanfiction writers usually aim to explore the characters in more positive, canon - adjacent ways. For example, they might write about Snape's backstory, his relationship with other characters in a more appropriate way, rather than creating such inappropriate scenarios.
Archive of Our Own (AO3) is a popular platform. It has a wide range of fanfiction and strict tagging systems. You can use the search function and look for tags related to Snape and Hermione. You can also filter by rating to avoid inappropriate content. Another option could be FanFiction.net, though it may not have as comprehensive a tagging system as AO3. Just make sure to read the summaries and reviews before delving into a story.
