One possible plotline could be that Hermione is forced to work under Snape in a special project. She initially resists his strict methods but gradually comes to understand his perspective and submits to his more experienced guidance in potions or some other area of magic. For example, Snape might be in charge of a top - secret research project and Hermione, with her brilliant mind, is chosen to assist. Through their interactions, she realizes that his seemingly harsh demands are actually aimed at achieving the best results.
In this fanfiction, Hermione may develop a new sense of humility. Submitting to Snape, who is a master of potions and magic in his own right, makes her realize that she still has a lot to learn. Snape may develop a sense of responsibility towards Hermione. He realizes that he has an influence on her growth and starts to mentor her more actively, leading to a transformation in their relationship.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Harry submits to Snape in order to gain access to some important information. Snape might be in possession of secrets about Harry's family or his own powers that he refuses to share unless Harry shows complete obedience. So, Harry decides to submit to Snape's demands in order to uncover these mysteries that are crucial for his journey as a wizard.
At first, it could be very tense. Harry might be reluctant to submit, but as time goes on, he starts to see Snape in a different light. This could lead to a grudging respect. For example, Snape might show Harry some advanced potions techniques that no one else has taught him, which makes Harry realize Snape's value.
One common theme is the struggle of Hermione against Voldemort's power. Even when she is in a position of submission, she often tries to resist in some way. Another theme could be the exploration of the dark side of the wizarding world. It shows what could happen if a strong character like Hermione is forced into the service of evil. Also, the idea of redemption or escape is often present. Fans might write about Hermione finding a way to break free from Voldemort's control and turn the tables on him.
Yes, there might be some fanfictions that take this concept in a non - dark or inappropriate way. For example, it could be a story where Hermione is forced to work with Voldemort under some magical compulsion but she is constantly trying to outwit him from the inside. In some fanfictions, it could be a mind - control situation where Hermione is fighting against Voldemort's control on a mental level, which can be an interesting exploration of her character's strength and intelligence rather than something inappropriate.
One key theme could be power dynamics. In a lot of fanfiction, exploring how Hermione, who is typically a strong and independent character, submits to Draco challenges the normal power balance. It might also be about redemption. Draco has a complex past in the original series, and this could be a way to show his growth and change, with Hermione being a part of that journey. Another theme could be love against all odds. Despite their differences in the original story, the fanfiction might focus on how they can overcome those differences and build a relationship.
Obviously, Harry Potter and Snape are the main characters. Harry, with his courage and leadership, and Snape, with his complex past and skills. But other characters like Hermione and Ron could also play important roles. They might be the ones who first notice the change in Snape's behavior towards Harry and help Harry deal with this new situation.
One possible interesting plot could be Snape having to follow Harry Potter's lead in a dangerous mission. Maybe they are in a situation where Snape has no choice but to trust Harry completely, which is a big change from their usual relationship in the original books.
There's also 'Hermione's Choice' which delves into a situation where Hermione submits to Harry's judgment during a dangerous encounter with a dark magic threat. The story explores how their different skills and perspectives come together, with Hermione trusting Harry's instincts and they work together to overcome the danger.
