Giving it a whirl. The marriage law is put in place, but for some reason Hermione was not told who her husband will be. She was told to finish her last year of schooling in peace and she will be notified of the ministry's choice when she graduates. The war has taken its toll and Hermione struggles to regain who she once was. With the help of an unlikely ally, a new relationship forms and two broken people heal. I do not own Harry Potter, in case you were confused about what fanfiction is

Severus can't seem to control his re-awakened libido around his new wife, and has concocted a solution. But is it any match for Hermione's ambition to overcome it? Smutty holiday commission - takes place in the Ties That Bind universe post-consummation, but wouldn't call it required reading (please do though 😉) Will be 3 Chapters total - should be posted in completion by tomorrow

Five years after the second wizarding war came to a resounding close, the ministry narrowly pushes through legislation to enforce new couplings in the wake of a potentially reduced magical population. Meanwhile disgraced war hero Severus Snape is facing a bittersweet conclusion to his long delayed murder trial. In the wake of being 'selected' for matchmaking, can Hermione Granger change both their fates in a single, calculated blow? Marriage law/fake relationship trope. Lots of magical shenanigans. Tension heavy now, smut heavy later. Fun Alan Rickman references galore.
