One great Snape detention fanfiction is 'The Detention Chamber'. It really delves into the complex relationship between Snape and the student in detention. The author does a wonderful job of portraying Snape's strict yet somewhat sympathetic nature during the detention scenes.
One possible scenario in such a fanfic could be that during detention, Snape makes Hermione clean the potions classroom. At first, Hermione is indignant but as she cleans, she discovers some old potions notes that Snape had written as a student. This leads to an unexpected conversation between them about the complexity of potions. Snape is initially cold but gradually warms up as he realizes Hermione's genuine interest in the subject.
Maybe in the fanfic, Snape gives Hermione detention for accidentally disrupting his class. But instead of a typical punishment, he assigns her to help him organize his personal library of dark arts books. As they work together, Hermione begins to understand Snape's complex past and Snape starts to see Hermione in a new light, beyond just being a know - it - all Gryffindor.
Well, Harry could be forced to clean the Potions classroom during detention. Snape might make him scrub every cauldron by hand while muttering about how clumsy Gryffindors are. Harry might accidentally spill a potion ingredient, which makes Snape even angrier and gives him more tasks to do, like sorting out all the potion ingredients in the store cupboard.
Harry Potter is a very likely character. Given his often - tense relationship with Snape, detention with Snape could be a great opportunity to explore their dynamic further. Harry might learn more about Snape's motives during these detentions, or they could have some unexpected conversations that change Harry's perception of Snape.
They could start off on bad terms, with Snape being his usual strict self and Hermione being defiant. But as the detention progresses, they might find common ground. For example, Snape could notice Hermione's talent for potions and start to give her some extra knowledge or tasks related to advanced potions. This could change their relationship from one of animosity to one of a grudging teacher - student respect.
In a Harry and Snape detention fanfiction, Harry might finally have a chance to understand Snape better. He could see that Snape's strictness is not just pure malice but perhaps a result of his complex past. Snape, on the other hand, could start to see Harry not just as James Potter's son, but as an individual with his own struggles. They might end up having a conversation about magic that neither expected, leading to a newfound respect for each other.
They could start by Snape giving Hermione a long lecture about her behavior that led to the detention. Hermione, being Hermione, might try to argue her case, which could lead to a tense exchange. For example, if she was late to class because she was helping a first - year student, Snape might not initially believe her.
Well, perhaps Snape sets them to clean the potions classroom. Draco tries to boss Harry around at first, but Harry refuses to be pushed. As they clean, they accidentally knock over a vial that releases a magical mist. The mist makes them relive some of their worst memories involving each other. This forces them to understand each other's perspectives better and by the end of detention, there's a less hostile air between them.
To make a Harry and Snape detention fanfiction interesting, you can focus on their character development. For example, show Snape's internal struggle between his dislike for Harry based on his past with James and his duty as a teacher. For Harry, explore his growing understanding of the adult world and how Snape fits into it. Also, add some mystery elements like a hidden potion ingredient that they discover during the detention.
