The plot could involve a Veela who is seeking revenge on Hogwarts for an old wrong. She targets Harry Potter as he is the famous Boy Who Lived, thinking that by getting to him she can get the attention of the wizarding world. Severus Snape, being the ever - vigilant professor, senses something is wrong. He starts to investigate and discovers the Veela's plan. As he tries to protect Harry, he also uncovers some secrets about his own past that are related to the Veela. Along the way, Harry and Snape have to put aside their differences and work together to stop the Veela's vengeful plot.
One possible scenario in such a fanfiction could be that a Veela's charm affects Harry Potter and Severus Snape in different ways. Harry, being young and more impressionable, might initially be more overtaken by the Veela's allure. However, Snape, with his more guarded nature, resists it at first. But as the story progresses, the Veela's magic could start to break down Snape's defenses in unexpected ways. Maybe the Veela has a task or a prophecy related to them, and both Harry and Snape are drawn into this mystery together.
In this fanfiction, the story could start with Harry finding Snape in a very vulnerable state after the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry feels a deep sense of guilt for how Snape was treated throughout his life. So he decides to adopt him. At first, their relationship is awkward. Snape is still his old sarcastic self, but Harry is determined. As time passes, they discover they have a lot in common. They both lost their parents at a young age, and they both had to face great challenges. This newfound understanding leads to a transformation in their relationship. Harry helps Snape to come out of his shell of bitterness, and Snape teaches Harry more about the Dark Arts in a controlled and ethical way so that Harry can better protect the wizarding world in the future.
The plot could involve Snape collaring Harry as a form of punishment for some misbehavior that endangers the wizarding world. But then, as they are forced to interact more because of the collar, they start to understand each other better. For example, Harry might learn about Snape's past and his true loyalties.
The plot could take a really interesting turn when it comes to Voldemort. Since Snape is raising Harry, he might train Harry in a way that Voldemort doesn't expect. Maybe Harry would be more of a spy in the dark side's camp. Snape could also use his position to mislead Voldemort about Harry's true abilities and intentions. This would create a whole new set of challenges and power dynamics in the fight against the Dark Lord. Harry's loyalties would be constantly tested, and his relationship with Snape would be even more crucial to the story.
One possible plot could be that after the war, both Harry and Snape realize they have a deeper understanding of each other. They start to communicate more, initially about the events that transpired. As they talk, they find common ground in their experiences of loss and loneliness. Slowly, feelings develop, and they decide to give a relationship a try. Eventually, they get married in a small, private ceremony attended only by their closest friends who have come to accept their relationship.
One possible plot could be that after a particularly difficult battle, Harry realizes Snape's true self and the sacrifices he made. In a moment of understanding and new - found respect, Harry approaches Snape. Snape, initially hesitant, allows Harry to get close. They start to talk about their past misunderstandings, and as the conversation deepens, Harry, out of a sense of comfort and connection, cuddles with Snape as a sign of forgiveness and new - beginning.
One possible plot could be that Harry, through some time - traveling magic, meets young Severus. Harry, knowing Severus' future, tries to befriend him and change his path. He could introduce Severus to different ways of using magic that are less dark - oriented, which might change Severus' perception of magic and his future relationships in Hogwarts.
In a possible plot, the magical bond of being a familiar could give Harry and Snape a new level of understanding of each other. Harry, as Snape's familiar, could gain insights into Snape's past and his true motives. Snape, in turn, would have to come to terms with having Harry so close in this new capacity. This could lead to a series of adventures where they work together in a different way than in the original series. For example, they might have to face Voldemort together with Harry using his new familiar - related powers and Snape using his potions and dark arts knowledge.
Well, perhaps the plot could start with Snape having some sort of magical transformation that allows him to carry and give birth to Harry. Then, as Harry grows up, Snape would have to deal with his own dark past while trying to protect Harry from the same fate. He might be a strict but loving mother, teaching Harry both light and dark magic in a more balanced way than in the original story.
A lot of fanfic writers will create unique storylines for Snape's courtship. They might introduce an original character who manages to break through Snape's tough exterior. His courtship would then involve him struggling with his own insecurities and his reputation. This character might see the good in him that others overlook. There could be moments of tension and misunderstanding, but also deep, meaningful conversations as they get to know each other better.
