Hermione/McGonagall is the femslash pairing of Hermione Granger and Minerva McGonagall from the Harry Potter fandom.
According to Madam Hooch's Broom Closet, the ship was often viewed as a femslash alternative to Snape/Hermione,[1] though it never grew as popular. The age gap and teacher/student dynamic makes the ship a polarizing one.
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- To get around the age gap, time travel is a common trope.
- Alternatively, some fics embrace the age gap.
- Though the teacher/student trope is popular with fics set at Hogwarts, there are also a fair amount of post-canon fics.
