Chapter 1 (Disturbing News)
Hermione was absolutely livid. \'How could the Ministry do something like this? Wasn\'t it enough to ask the young witches that were Muggle-born to give up the childhood they had left for getting married young to wizards old enough to be their fathers?\' Hermione was also confused. How could she be a candidate for the Marriage Law if she wasn\'t 18? The list of wizards eligible for the Law also were astonishing. Professor Snape was one of the wizards that were mentioned.
The letter from the Ministry read:
“Dear Miss Granger,
As you are aware, the Ministry of Magic Marriage Act 275 has been enacted to rebuild the British wizarding population, which has been suffering from a dramatically increased number of still births, Squibs and barren children. All Muggle-born and half-Muggle witches are required BY LAW to marry upon achieving the age of 18. Your name has been placed on a list where pureblooded families may read of your achievements and petition for your hand. If no petitions are received and accepted, a name will be randomly selected from our list of eligible men. Failure to comply with the law will result in the revocation of your witch’s licence and the breaking of your wand. All petitions received by the Ministry will be forwarded to you by owl.”
Hermione read the letter and thought to herself, ‘If only I were born a pure-blood. Then this wouldn\'t happen just now, now that I\'m.’ Hermione stopped that train of thought. If only she had some way to tell the man she was desperately in love with the truth about her feelings.
She didn\'t even know if he was thinking about a bride or not, but deep down, she wished and hoped that it would be her.

She decided that there were two people who would know what to do. She didn\'t want to go to the headmaster so she decided that she would go to Professor Snape. ‘I\'ll go to Professor Snape. He\'ll know what to do. And besides,’ she told herself as she gathered her things to go to Potions class, ‘he\'s also mentioned in that ridiculous law and so maybe..’
Hermione stopped the train of thinking she was currently on. The feelings she had for Professor Snape were totally inappropriate and he would probably not even consider what she was thinking. A match between herself and the illustrious Potions master of Hogwarts.
She headed toward the dungeons for her Potions lesson, hoping to be able to talk to him about the letter after class.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Severus Snape, Potions Master of Hogwarts, contemplated the letter currently in his hands. Hermione Granger was on the list of eligible witches for him to marry. Just thinking along those lines were enough to make his breathing a little erratic.
Cursing his unruly body for not obeying the commands of not thinking about Miss Hermione Granger that way, she was his student after all, he got a little idea. A match between him and Hermione. He got out parchment and a quill, and began writing a proposal for them.
Looking up as the Advanced Potions\' students piled into the room, he noticed the look Hermione gave him, an enquiring look asking for a \"detention\" again. She\'s done this repeatedly for the past week and he was starting to enjoy all the time spent in her company, watching her brew the potions that he needed and making him wonder if he would be able to ask her to be his apprentice and his wife at the same time.
“Ms. Granger, please see me after class. Your essay was abominable and you must stay after class so you will know the correct terms for the essay that I assigned weeks ago,” Severus said to Hermione, hoping that she wouldn’t believe what he said about her essay. It was, as usual, a sign of perfection.
“Of course Professor Snape,” Hermione answered, flashing her eyes at him to let him know that she understood what he meant.
With that little conversation ended, the class began to gather the ingredients and to begin the potion of the day. When everyone was done, they brought up their samples and laid them on his desk.
“Everyone\'s potion in, good. You may go.” With that statement, the Advanced Potions class all exited out of the room and the only people left in the room were Severus and Hermione.
“I\'m sure you have by now known that your name is in the pool for marriages?” Severus asked her, motioning her to sit down and got out the paper he had prepared for her.
“Yes Professor, and I also noticed that your name was in it as well.” Hermione remarked, curious about the paper he had out on the desk. “Professor, may I ask what that paper is for? If I\'m not being to bold to ask.”
“You may ask, and no, you\'re not being to bold to ask since it concerns you,” he explained her.
“It concerns.me, sir?”
“Yes it does. If you may read it?” Severus asked her, pushing the paper towards her for her to look over. “Well, what do you think?”
“Sir, I think you had just read my mind. I was about to suggest a match between us both,” Hermione told him, laughing just a little bit at the look on his face.
“So we have an engagement?” he asked tentatively. He had never proposed to anyone before and the thought that she would marry him was exhilarating.
“Yes, Severus. I may call you Severus, can\'t I?” Hermione asked him.
“You may.”
“Then, yes Severus. We have an engagement.”
