Their relationship would become more symbiotic. Harry, as the'master', would have a sense of responsibility for Severus in his pet form. This could lead to Harry seeing Severus in a different light, less as the strict professor and more as someone vulnerable who needs protection.
In this situation, Severus might initially be resentful of his pet state and Harry's role as his master. But as time goes on, he realizes that Harry is truly trying to help him. This could lead to a grudging respect from Severus towards Harry. Harry, on the other hand, would start to understand Severus' past actions better as he spends more time with him in this new dynamic. For example, he might understand why Severus was so strict in Potions class, as he sees Severus' meticulous nature even in his pet form when they are trying to solve the mystery of how to turn him back.
The relationship would also be filled with more trust. Since Severus is in a pet form and is relying on Harry, Harry has to prove himself trustworthy. And Severus, in his own way, has to trust that Harry will do the right thing. This newfound trust could carry over when Severus is back to his normal self, making their relationship in the wizarding world much more amicable than before.
In the beginning, Severus would probably view Hermione as a nuisance. But Hermione, being Hermione, would not take being treated like a simple pet lying down. She would constantly challenge him in small ways, like refusing to follow his commands in a way that made him think. This would pique Severus's interest. As they spent more time together, he would come to respect her and see her as more than just a pet. Their relationship would develop into a complex one, with elements of friendship, respect, and a shared love for knowledge.
At first, their relationship would likely be very strained. Given their past history of animosity, they'd probably be constantly on edge around each other. But as time passes, they might start to see each other's good qualities. Severus could come to appreciate James' courage and leadership, while James might start to understand Severus' intelligence and loyalty. Eventually, they could develop a grudging respect that turns into a real friendship and then perhaps a deeper emotional connection as they share their lives together.
At first, it would be extremely strained. Severus has a history of being at odds with Harry. But with the baby in the picture, they would be forced to interact. Harry might see a different side of Severus as he tries to be a father. Severus, on the other hand, would have to deal with his own feelings towards Harry while also caring for the baby. Over time, they could develop a bond based on their shared responsibility and the love for their child. This would be a huge transformation from their previous relationship which was full of mistrust and dislike.
At first, their relationship would be full of hostility. Harry would be angry about being forced into this marriage with Severus, who he has had a complex history with. Severus, on the other hand, might be indifferent or even disdainful.
In this scenario, Severus' character experiences a significant transformation. He has to shed his cold exterior to a large extent. He becomes a father figure, which means he has to be there for the boys emotionally. He starts to show emotions more openly, whether it's pride when they do well in their studies or worry when they are in danger. His sense of loyalty also shifts. Before, it was mainly towards certain people or causes, but now his loyalty is first and foremost to Harry and Draco. This new - found loyalty makes him a more rounded and likable character in the fanfiction, as he is no longer just the brooding potions master but a loving and dedicated father.
For Draco, being Harry's mate would likely soften his edges. His Veela nature might make him more nurturing towards Harry. He would probably become less focused on pure - blood supremacy and more concerned with protecting and loving Harry. Harry, in turn, would become more understanding of Draco. His view of Slytherins might change completely. He would be more patient and less quick to judge, as he now has a deep connection with a former Slytherin.
Their relationship could start off rocky. Snape might be cold and distant at first, seeing Harry as just another responsibility. But as he gets to know Harry in his pet form, he might start to notice Harry's unique qualities and grow fond of him. For example, Harry could show loyalty and courage even in his pet state, which would gradually change Snape's view.
In these fanfictions, Severus often develops a more nurturing side. Since he has Harry as a pet, he has to take on a caretaker role, which is different from his usual strict and aloof self. He might become more patient as he guides Harry through various situations.
Severus would likely become more protective. His personality would shift from being mainly focused on his own grudges and potions work to being centered around Harry's well - being. He might also become a bit more open - minded as he has to consider Harry's needs and wants, which could be different from his own. For instance, he may have to tolerate Harry's love for flying, even though he himself may not be into it. And over time, he might develop a sense of humor as he deals with Harry's childish antics.
He would become more nurturing. Usually, Severus is seen as cold and aloof, but with Harry in his care, he'd have to show more warmth. He might still be strict, but it would be out of love for Harry's well - being rather than just being his usual harsh self.
