It's possible that in detention, there is an unexpected event like a magical creature getting loose in the dungeon. Hermione and Snape have to work together to catch it. Hermione uses her knowledge of magical creatures from Hagrid's lessons, and Snape uses his more advanced magic skills. Through this joint effort, they gain 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.
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.
Well, in a detention with Snape in a Harry Potter fanfic, Harry might be forced to clean out the Potions storeroom. Snape could use this time to lecture Harry about his lack of respect for Potions as a subject. Maybe he would also drop some hints about Harry's father, James, which could be both infuriating and enlightening for Harry.
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.
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.
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.
Well, in such a fanfic, it would be a really strange and interesting combination. Snape is a complex and brooding character, while Hermione is intelligent and determined. Their relationship could start with a lot of tension. Maybe the marriage law forces them together, and at first, they can't stand each other. But as time goes on, they might start to see the good in one another. Snape could be impressed by Hermione's thirst for knowledge, and Hermione could understand Snape's past traumas that made him the way he is.
Well, one possibility is that they could have an intense conversation. Maybe Hermione discovers a side of Snape she never knew. For example, Snape could reveal some of his past traumas or secrets that make Hermione see him in a new light. It could be a moment of mutual understanding between two characters who didn't get along well in the original story.
Well, Snape could force Hermione to participate in a wizarding duel against her will. In fanfiction, this could be a way for Snape to test her skills or perhaps punish her for something he believes she has done wrong. Hermione would be in a tough situation as she is a rule - abiding student, but being forced into a duel would make her have to think on her feet and use her magic in new and unexpected ways.
Tom might try to deceive Hermione at first, seeing her as an easy target. But Hermione, being as clever as she is, quickly sees through his ruse. This could lead to a battle of wits between them in the hotel corridors.
