One great Severus Snape werewolf fanfiction is 'The Lupine Professor'. It delves into a world where Snape has an unexpected encounter with a werewolf situation. Another interesting one could be 'Snape and the Moon's Curse' which has a really engaging plot about Snape's relationship with werewolves in the wizarding world.
Often, Snape is written as being initially distrustful of werewolves in fanfiction. But as the story progresses, he realizes that not all werewolves are the same. Maybe he meets a werewolf who has a strong moral compass despite their condition. This challenges his pre - conceived notions and leads to an interesting character arc for Snape.
Another theme is redemption. The characters, especially Snape, may be on a journey of redemption in the face of the werewolf - related chaos and their past mistakes with the Marauders. It's about making amends and finding a way to coexist or even become allies.
In some fanfictions, Hermione might be portrayed as a strong - willed character who is intrigued by Snape's complex nature. Snape, on the other hand, could be shown as being reluctantly drawn to Hermione's intelligence. For example, in a story where they encounter werewolves, Hermione's extensive knowledge of magic could be used to protect them both, while Snape's experience and dark - arts knowledge add an extra layer of mystery to their dynamic.
One key element is the transformation. If Snape is involved with werewolves, his reactions to the werewolf transformation process can be really interesting. For example, in some fanfictions, he might be disgusted, or in others, he could be sympathetic. Another element is the relationship between Snape and the werewolf characters. It could be a relationship of enmity, like he is trying to hunt them down, or a more complex relationship where he is trying to find a cure for them.
Well, he might use his magic skills. Maybe he creates some protective spells around Harry to keep the werewolf at bay. For example, a strong shielding charm that can withstand the werewolf's attacks.
A popular one is 'Werewolf Encounters in the Marauder Era: Snape's Role'. This story explores how Snape reacts to the werewolf situation during the Marauder days. It has some intense scenes where Snape's skills and knowledge are put to the test against the werewolf threat and his interactions with the Marauders are full of tension and drama.
One common plotline is that Hermione and Snape are forced to team up to deal with a werewolf outbreak. Maybe the werewolves are attacking Hogwarts students, and they have to put aside their differences to protect the school. Another is that Snape has some past connection to werewolves that Hermione discovers, which changes their relationship. For example, he might have been involved in some secret research about werewolves in the past.
Perhaps it's out of his sense of duty. He may feel that as a teacher or an elder in the wizarding world, he has a responsibility to protect Harry, regardless of his personal feelings towards him.
