Summary
This is the sequel to *A Desperate Bargain.*
A few months ago, Hermione Granger married Severus Snape to keep him from being sent to prison. Against all odds, they've fallen in love, but their relationship is still new and fragile.
Now, their marriage is put to the test as they return together to Hogwarts: Hermione as an eighth year student, and Severus as a professor.
Around them, their friends are being matched by the Ministry's Marriage Initiatives. And Draco Malfoy, who only narrowly avoided prison thanks to Severus, must too comply with a ministry marriage, or be sent to Azkaban.
(Ongoing. On short pause for a brain break!)

Summary
My twist on the marriage laws.
Severus Snape survived Nagini, barely, only to learn that the Ministry will be sending all Death Eaters to Azkaban. Hermione Granger comes up with a drastic plan to save him: if Kingsley will let Severus go, Hermione will become the poster child for the Ministry's marriage initiatives.
It's a marriage of convenience that becomes a soft, slow burn romance.
(Fully finished.)
