It could be a rare potion ingredient. Hermione is known for her academic prowess and might find a special ingredient that Snape has been seeking for his potions research.
He could be secretly touched. Deep down, Snape has a complex personality. Even though he doesn't show it easily, the fact that Hermione, a bright and determined student, gives him a gift might reach his softer side and make him feel a bit of warmth.
No. Fanfiction that involves sexual content like this is inappropriate. Hermione is a character from the Harry Potter series, which is mainly aimed at a young and general audience. Such content goes against the spirit of the original work and is not suitable for public discussion or creation.
The 'time - travel' trope is also quite common. For example, Hermione might go back in time and interact with a younger Snape, which can lead to all sorts of new storylines and character developments.
One great Snape and Hermione fanfiction is 'The Unbreakable Bond'. In this story, Hermione discovers a hidden side of Snape during her research in the Hogwarts library. Their relationship starts as a mentorship but gradually evolves into a deep friendship that defies the expectations of the wizarding world. It beautifully portrays their individual characters and how they can complement each other.
Perhaps he simply lost his creative inspiration. Fanfiction writing often requires a constant flow of new ideas, and if he's been through a lot of stress or has had some personal issues, like his complex relationship with Lily still haunting him, it could dry up his well of creativity.
Hermione might become more guarded at first. She is used to being independent and suddenly being 'gifted' to Snape is a big change. But over time, she could learn to be more patient and understanding. Snape, on the other hand, might soften a bit. His usual cold exterior could crack as he gets to know Hermione better.
One idea could be that Draco is forced to give Hermione a makeover as part of a school project on cross - house cooperation. He initially resists but then gets into it, choosing a more edgy and modern look for her that shocks everyone at Hogwarts.
It's hard to say who would be the clear winner. Hermione is intelligent and quick - witted, but Snape has years of experience and a great deal of magical knowledge. If it's a battle of words, Hermione might hold her own for a while, but Snape could use his authority to shut her down.
She might give him cold stares in class. Hermione is not one to shy away from showing her emotions through her expressions. So, every time Snape is in her line of sight, she could fix him with a withering glare that clearly shows her displeasure.
