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.

*****COMPLETED******** Hermione is taking the week off from working as a Barrister and Judge on the Wizengamot, staying at her Beach House in Dorset. She invites her once adversary but now friend Draco to stay for the weekend and he brings along his Godfather Severus whom she's not seen since he was exonerated from war crimes and taken to hospital after his near death experience at the hands of Voldemort's snake Nagini. Out walking one day the pair come across Hermione's parents living in a cottage on a hillside. This wouldn't have been so odd but Hermione had witnessed her parents death at the end of the war. Her and Severus, with the help of Harry and Draco need to find out who these people really are and what's going on. Dum dum dummmmmm.

Hermione is ill with an obscure Chinese curse. Severus is merely in love.

Hermione just can't help herself.... But at what cost? Mature Content: as always... 😂 Snape at his rude and narky best in this one This was originally a 'one shot' but due to requests I decided to start a full version. (This book will of course feature the one shot as a chapter) I hope you enjoy it... 💚💙💜 (I'm not really following the usual HP time frame so expect some characters that should be dead to be alive ect.)
