At first, Hermione might be suspicious of Snape's new - found protectiveness. But as time goes on, she starts to see that he has good intentions. Snape, on the other hand, gradually warms up to Hermione more and more, sharing his knowledge and advice with her.
The relationship development might start with Snape silently observing Hermione and subtly protecting her from afar. Hermione might notice little things that Snape does for her, like making sure she's not in harm's way during a dangerous potion - making class or when there are some unruly students around. As she realizes his intentions, she may approach him to thank him, which could be the start of their communication. Over time, they could engage in more conversations, with Snape sharing some of his past experiences and Hermione sharing her academic and personal interests. This exchange could lead to a deeper understanding and a closer relationship, with Snape becoming more openly protective and Hermione seeing him in a new light.
Well, it often starts with a lot of misunderstandings. Snape has his own preconceived notions about Hermione as a Gryffindor student, and Hermione has her own view of Snape as a strict and often unfair teacher. However, as they live together, small moments start to change their relationship. For example, when Hermione is having trouble with a particularly difficult spell, Snape doesn't scold her but instead patiently guides her. This gradually builds trust between them, and they form a unique bond that is different from the typical student - teacher relationship or even a normal father - daughter relationship.
In the fanfiction, the relationship may start off with Snape being rather cold and distant towards Hermione as his familiar. However, as Hermione proves herself time and again, perhaps by using her unique skills to solve problems that Snape couldn't on his own, he starts to warm up to her. Their relationship then develops into a more complex one, where they have a mutual respect and a sort of unspoken understanding. This could involve Snape sharing some of his own magical knowledge with Hermione in a way that he would never do with other students, and Hermione in turn, helping Snape with his personal and professional matters, such as dealing with the other Hogwarts faculty or protecting the school from hidden threats.
The relationship might start off on a rocky note. Snape, being strict, would be angry at Hermione's naughtiness. But as time goes on, he could start to respect her intelligence. For example, if she was naughty by trying to improve a potion in an unorthodox way, he might see her potential.
At first, their relationship would likely be tense. Snape is known for his dislike of Gryffindors, and Hermione is a prime example of a Gryffindor student. But being in the close quarters of the supply closet might force them to communicate more directly. They could start to see past their initial prejudices. Maybe Snape would recognize Hermione's intelligence and Hermione would see that Snape has reasons for his cold exterior.
Well, often the list serves as a catalyst. It could be a list of dangerous magical items or secrets. Snape and Hermione are drawn into the mystery of the list. At first, they clash because of their different personalities and past experiences. However, as they face the challenges related to the list, they find common ground. Snape might start to see Hermione not just as a know - it - all student, but as a capable witch. Hermione, in turn, might understand Snape's guarded nature better. They develop a bond that is based on mutual trust and a shared goal of uncovering the truth about the list.
One reason could be that he sees her intelligence and potential. Snape has always had a soft spot for those who are brilliant in potions and magic, and Hermione is top - notch in that regard. He might also recognize her determination and how she's often an outcast among her peers in a way, just like he was. So, he feels a sense of kinship and thus protectiveness towards her.
Their relationship could develop gradually. At first, they might be very guarded around each other due to their differences. For example, Snape's initial dislike for Gryffindors and Hermione being a proud Gryffindor. But as they play Truth or Dare, they start to understand each other better. Each truth revealed and dare completed chips away at the barriers between them.
Well, in some fanfictions, their relationship might start with Snape initially being dismissive of Hermione but gradually seeing her unique intelligence. He could start to secretly protect her in dangerous situations, like in the wizarding battles. As time goes on, Hermione might break through Snape's cold exterior and they form an unlikely bond based on mutual respect for each other's magical abilities and knowledge.
In some fanfictions, Snape's loneliness draws him to Hermione's intelligence and inquisitive nature. He might start by secretly helping her in Potions, which then leads to conversations. As they talk more, they find common ground in their love for knowledge, and a friendship begins to form. Hermione's open - mindedness allows her to see past Snape's prickly exterior, and Snape starts to respect Hermione for her courage and determination.
At first, it would be really rocky. Harry has a history of distrusting Snape, and Hermione might be a bit cautious too. But as time passes, Snape's care for them in his own strict way would start to show. He'd probably be tough on them about their studies, but they'd see it's because he wants them to succeed.
