Perhaps there was some kind of magical accident or strange phenomenon that involved Professor McGonagall. Hermione, being the curious and sometimes easily startled girl, might scream in shock when witnessing it.
Maybe it's a group of fans who collaborate on writing this fanfiction. They might each bring their own ideas about Hermione and Professor McGonagall, and combine them to create this story where Hermione screams. There are so many possibilities in the world of fanfiction writing.
I'm not sure if there is such a fanfiction that is completely appropriate for all ages as the concept of spanking can be a bit controversial and not in line with the positive educational relationships usually depicted in the original 'Harry Potter' series. However, the fanfiction world is vast, and some might try to handle it in a more light - hearted or non - inappropriate way, but it's hard to say for sure.
Well, it could be a comical misunderstanding. Maybe Hermione accidentally breaks a very important magical item in McGonagall's classroom while trying out a new spell. McGonagall, being strict but fair, gives her a light 'spanking' with a magical object that just makes a slapping sound but doesn't actually hurt, as a form of light - hearted punishment and to teach her to be more careful.
In lemon fanfiction, if McGonagall punishes Hermione, it could be due to violating school rules in a more extreme way than in the original books. For example, if Hermione gets involved in inappropriate behavior during a time when she should be studying or following Hogwarts' code of conduct.
There are probably fanfictions out there with this premise. Fanfic authors love to play with the established canon of a story. By making Minerva McGonagall Hermione's mother, they can rewrite many aspects of Hermione's life. Maybe she would have grown up with a different set of values, or her magical abilities could be seen in a new light. It also has the potential to create new conflicts and reconciliations within the Hogwarts community.
Well, initially McGonagall adopts Hermione out of a sense of duty and seeing Hermione's need for a more stable environment. In the beginning, Hermione is a bit in awe of McGonagall. But as they live together, they start to have small moments of connection. For example, over a shared cup of tea while discussing a difficult spell. Slowly, they start to understand each other's quirks. McGonagall learns about Hermione's passion for knowledge and Hermione discovers McGonagall's softer side. Their relationship blossoms into a beautiful and deep bond that affects both of their lives positively at Hogwarts and beyond.
McGonagall might be very concerned. She could immediately take Hermione aside and try to talk to her about it. She'd probably use her calm and authoritative voice to let Hermione know that she's noticed something is wrong.
In this fanfiction, Hermione would grow up with a strong female role model. This would make her even more assertive in fighting for what she believes in. She may also inherit some of McGonagall's no - nonsense attitude towards things like Dark Magic and injustice. Her academic pursuits would still be important, but she might also focus more on the well - being of Hogwarts as a whole, similar to how McGonagall cares for the school.
She might be crying because she feels overwhelmed. Hermione often takes on a lot of responsibilities, like leading study groups or helping with Hogwarts' defense against the dark arts. If something goes wrong in one of these areas, she could break down. McGonagall might comfort her by saying that it's okay to ask for help and that she doesn't have to carry all the burdens alone.
In some fanfictions, Hermione's eating disorder could be a way to explore deeper psychological issues within the wizarding world. McGonagall, as a strict yet caring teacher, might notice the signs. She could play a crucial role in Hermione's recovery, perhaps by providing support and guidance, much like she does for her students in other aspects of their Hogwarts lives.
