Hermione was frantic. The MoM had finally caught on to the fact that the Time Turner had added several months to her age and now she was caught in all the nonsense. Forced to be chattel and brood mare for some damn pureblood. Her mind raced to find an answer - almost anything or anyone would be an acceptable way out of all this.
Then it dawned on her. Who despised children as much as she did? Who was as exacting as she with details? Who was in the library nearly as much as she was? Professor Snape! Of course, he would be required to bid on a wife with these new rules. Of course he could never be approached directly. Her request would be quickly dismissed. The direct route was not one to be taken with Slytherins. She would go to the Headmaster with her idea. If there was one person in the world who was able to manipulate Snape expertly, it was Albus Dumbledore.
She ran to the Headmaster's office and gave her emergency password to the gargoyles. Too impatient to wait for the stairs to lift her to his door, Hermione raced up, taking two at a time.
"Miss Granger? Is there an emergency?" he asked in a concerned manner.
"Yes, Professor. It is about the new Ministry Marriage Law." She faltered, suddenly feeling foolish for bursting in.
Looking through his half-glasses with a steady gaze, he nodded for her to continue.
"Well, sir, I was just thinking about who might petition for me and I wondered if it was allowed that I request someone specific," Hermione explained.
"Of course, my dear. That is always the first wish - that couples who want to be together can marry. Who were you thinking of?" Albus was now curious.
"Well, after considering several options, I thought that I might request Professor Snape petition for me," she said firmly, even though her face now shone bright crimson.
"Oh dear, Miss Granger. That would be quite impossible for many reasons," the Headmaster said sadly.
"If it is about my being a student and he a teacher, I can take my NEWTS early. And if it-" she stopped when Professor Dumbledore raised a hand to stave off her arguments.
"All of that aside, Miss Granger, there is a small bit of information you apparently are not aware of. I must ask you to keep it in the strictest confidence." She nodded in agreement at his look of inquiry. "Very well. Professor Snape is already married and has been for many years. I do believe quite happily, too." The Headmaster smiled broadly at her.
Dread, shock and dismay were reflected in her expressive face. "What the fuck am I supposed to do now, then?" Hermione shouted at him.
A small chuckle escaped from his lips. "Well, there are rumors that Draco and Blaise have both asked their fathers to petition on their behalf. I believe you will have many fine choices of pureblood husbands. And a fine herd of children in time for your Ten Year Reunion." His smile was wider than before, but looked slightly sinister.
Hermione saw only black. She had fainted dead away at the last comment from the headmaster.
