A new Ministry decree requires every witch and wizard of childbearing age to register for a magical compatibility pairing - unless they're already married. When the registry matches Hermione Granger with Cormac McLaggen, she panics. And the only person willing to offer a way out? Draco Malfoy. "Temporary arrangement. We marry, delay the system, then quietly annul it before the year is out." "You're out of your mind." "You have better options?" Living together. Sharing paperwork. Hosting fake dinners for Ministry inspections. It's a nightmare, because the biggest problem with this arrangement, is that Draco Malfoy has been pathetically in love with Hermione Granger for years, and will do anything to make the circumstances work in his favor.
