    Summary

    Hermione faces her sixth year at Hogwarts but her world is turned upside down in a single day. She has to face a Marriage Law, prophetic dreams and a temperamental husband with the threat of Lord Voldemort looming on the horizon.

    This is just another take on the old Marriage Law Challenge in which I try to keep the plot mostly canon - but taking some licenses. You will eventually get Horcruxes, (some) camping days and Deathly Hallows, but also a lot of Hogwarts and a slightly different resolution.

    Disclaimers:
    All recognisable characters and events belong to J.K. Rowling and the wonderful world she created. I am just playing with them for a while - non-profit, of course :)
    It is a long fic, the relationship builds very slowly and I am also excruciatingly slow updating. Plus, I am not a native English speaker... you have been warned.

    Summary

    She pressed her lips together and pushed away from the tree, bringing herself less than a foot from him. “I want you to look at me and feel selfish.”

    Her words rang in his head. Snape felt them committing themselves to his memory almost against his will. He had always thought one needed to be beautiful to experience beautiful things, but whatever warmth she looked at him with was at odds with that belief. She seemed to have addressed that thought directly.


    ~*~

    As the war ramps up and Lord Voldemort accrues more and more strength, both Severus and Hermione often times feel that the bond that has formed between them is a fragile one. As they grow closer and discover more about their connection, they begin to carve out their own path in a conflict that has been dictated by others for so long.

    Summary

    Severus Snape survived the war—barely.

    So when Hermione Granger, of all people, invokes an archaic magical Right of Claim to tether herself to him in a desperate act of preservation, not everyone is pleased.

    It was supposed to be practical. But tethered magic doesn’t understand restraint. It pulls. It beckons.

    And when Granger starts murmuring praise into his old potion notes and wearing lace in Slytherin green, it becomes very clear that this is more.

    She claimed him to save him—but he’s not the only one unraveling.

    A slow, magical, and deeply inconvenient descent into want, need, and everything Severus has spent a lifetime denying himself. Featuring kitchen counters, emotional repression, magical feedback loops, and a surprising amount of pastries.

    Summary

    Ever resourceful and fiercely loyal, Hermione Granger is fully committed to supporting her best friend in the battle against the looming forces of evil. Despite her determination, she is ensnared by a dark curse that has left her no choice but to live with a certain surly professor known for his cold demeanour and sharp tongue. As the two are thrust into a partnership driven by necessity, they must work together. Amidst their differences—her bright optimism and his cynical pragmatism—they gradually uncover each other's strengths and vulnerabilities. Each day brings a new challenge, and they must learn to rely on one another despite the walls they’ve built around themselves.
    As the war reaches its fever pitch, the pressure mounts. The stakes are higher than ever, and as they confront overwhelming odds, what unforeseen transformations might occur between these two seemingly incompatible allies? Together, they might just discover the true meaning of companionship and loyalty at the most unexpected moments.
