A Marriage Made in Heaven…or Hell. Depending on Who You Ask

Chapter 2

Hermione sat in potions working on some healing potions for Poppy. Severus had told her she didn’t need the review work and put her to work on the healing potions instead. Behind her, Ron glared evilly at her, while Harry just sighed.

“Pay attention to your potion Mr. Weasley instead of your fellow classmates. Unless you WANT to blow us all to hell,” Severus hissed as he walked around the room.

“Sorry,” Ron mumbled as he quickly put down the Mandrake root and grabbed the wolfsbane.

“What’s wrong?” Harry whispered.

“She humiliated me and now I’m the laughing stock of the entire school,” Ron answered as he glared at the back of Hermione’s head.

The class continued without further incident. Except for Ron receiving a zero for not completing his potion. As Hermione started to leave, Severus stopped her, “Miss Granger, may I have a word with you please?”

“Yes sir. I’ll see you later Harry,” Hermione replied.

Harry nodded and exited the room. Severus motioned for her to follow him. He led her through his office and into his private study. She sat in one of the armchairs while he took the one across from her.

“What did you want to talk about sir?” she asked.

“Have you looked at the contracts you received last night?” he replied.

“No sir. I have them in my bag though. Why?” she answered.

“Look at them,” he instructed.

She reached into her bag and pulled out the other four contracts. Her eyes widened as she spotted Malfoy and Severus’ contracts, as well as Mr. Olivander’s and Robert Forsythe’s.

“You put out a contract on me?”

“My father did. Miss Granger…Hermione, I’m just as trapped by this law as you are. My father and I went over the list of eligible witches and we kept coming back to you. I’ll get to the point, Lucius wants you for his son and he will kill you. Olivander is nothing more than a lecherous old man. All he’s after is an heir and a pretty, young wife. This Robert Forsythe is a good man and an Astronomy Master. If you were to choose either Mr. Forsythe or Mr. Olivander, they couldn’t defend you against Lucius,” Severus explained.

“But you could. You are doing this to protect me aren’t you?” Hermione questioned.

“Yes. Look, you know what kind of man I am, Hermione. If you choose me, I give my word that you will be protected and cared for. That’s all I can offer you now,” he answered.

“What about fidelity? Could you offer me that?” she asked.

“Yes. Ever since I was a teenager, I said when I married, I would be faithful to my wife and my wife only. You will have my fidelity,” he stated.

“Professor, you’ve given me a lot to think about and I appreciate your honesty. I will give you my answer tonight at dinner,” she smiled. Severus nodded.

At Malfoy Manor, Lucius sat with his wife Narcissa, drinking tea. “Have you heard from Draco about the mudblood?”

“No. I know she received the contract last night because I received a letter from the Ministry confirming it this morning. She will choose Draco, I will see to it,” Lucius said.

“Good. I want that bitch to suffer for what she did to our Lord and our fallen brothers and sisters,” Narcissa smiled evilly.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************

Hermione sat next to Harry eating dinner. Ron sat at the end of the table by himself. Hermione had just finished telling Harry about Severus’s proposal, as well as the other contracts.

“Mione, whatever you decided I’ll be there for you. Personally, I think you should accept his offer,” Harry said.

“That’s what I was thinking as well. At least with him, I know I would be safe and I’m pretty sure he’ll let me continue my education after Hogwarts,” Hermione agreed.

“When are you going to tell him?” Harry asked.

“Now. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Hermione answered.

She finished her pumpkin juice, stood up, and began making her way toward the head table. As she did, two pairs of eyes watched her, Draco and Ron. Both curious as to what Hermione was up to.

“Professor Snape,” Hermione said.

“Yes Miss Granger?” Severus asked.

“My answer is yes. I will accept your contract,” she answered.

The staff smiled when Severus nodded. He stood up, offered Hermione his arm, and the couple left the Great Hall. Harry smiled, knowing his best friend was going to be okay. Ron and Draco looked after the couple with hate in their eyes.

****************************************************************************************************************************************************

“Professor, what’s wrong?” she asked, when he locked his study door behind them.

“Nothing’s wrong and you can call me Severus. After all, we are to be married,” he answered with a soft smile.

“Well, Severus…I want to let you know that Harry is supporting this. It may not mean much to you, but it does to me,” she said.

“I’m glad your friends are there for you. You can tell Mr. Potter, that just because you are my wife, doesn’t mean he is not welcome here. He and I have settled our differences and he showed me he’s not his father,” he replied as he grabbed some floo powder.

“Where are we going?” she questioned.

“Snape Manor. My parents insisted on meeting you if you accepted my contract. First, let’s sign the contract,” he explained.

Hermione pulled the contract from her pocket and sat it on the desk. Once it was signed, it disappeared with a ‘POP’.

“We have 48 hours to marry. My father selected for us to have an actual wedding ceremony. He thought you might like that,” Severus added.

“I need to tell my parents. My father doesn’t know about this law. He’ll be furious,” Hermione sighed.

“We’ll have them brought here tomorrow. Come, my parents will be pleased to meet you,” Severus said gently.

*************************************************************************************************************************************

“Roman, they’re here!” Valencia cried as she watched her only son and future daughter-in-law exit the fireplace. “Welcome to Snape Manor my dear,” she smiled as she embraced Hermione.

“Thank you Mrs. Snape,” Hermione said.

“Please, call me Valencia. Roman should be here any second,” Valencia replied.

“Sorry, I was speaking with Giles. I must say, your photograph doesn’t do you justice. You’re quite lovely. I’m Roman and it’s nice to finally meet you,” Roman greeted as he kissed her hand.

“I don’t know about the lovely part,” Hermione said, blushing.

The four sat down and Valencia produced a stack of parchments full of wedding details. Roman and Valencia had been planning the wedding ever since the contract had been filed.

“Wow! I couldn’t have planned this better. How did you know what kind of wedding I wanted?” Hermione asked in awe.

“Because you remind me a lot of myself when I was your age. All I need is who you want as your Maid of Honor,” Valencia answered gently.

“I was going to ask Ginny Weasley. I’ll ask her tomorrow and then send word right away,” Hermione said.

“What about your parents Hermione?” Roman questioned.

“I know my mum will be supportive. My father…I don’t know,” she sighed sadly.

******************************************************************************************************************************************************

Two hours later, Severus and Hermione returned to Hogwarts. Hermione looked at Severus as he walked to his desk and pulled something out of one of the top drawers, then turned and walked over to her.

“Hermione, I know this isn’t a marriage of love, but I still want to do this right. Will you, Hermione Granger, marry me?” he asked as he knelt before her, holding a beautiful platinum and diamond engagement ring.

“Yes, Severus Snape, I will marry you,” she smiled gently.

“It belonged to my grandmother. It looks beautiful on you,” he said as he slid the ring onto her finger.

“Before I go back to my room, there’s something I want to know. Do you think with time we could love each other?” she asked.

“I think we could. I’m willing to give this marriage a try and I can see that you are too. You had better get to your room. Albus and Minerva will give you the next two days off so you can prepare for the wedding,” he answered.

Hermione nodded. Severus walked her out, said good night, and Hermione made her way toward her room. Just as she exited the dungeons, she pulled into an alcove.

“What are you doing with Snape?”

“Let me go Ron!” Hermione yelled.

Ron spun her around so she was now facing him. “Answer my question,”

“If you must know, I accepted his Marriage Contract. In two days we will be getting married. Now let me go,” she hissed.

Ron’s eyes flashed in anger. Before she could react, Ron’s hand was flying across her face. She stumbled back into the stone wall. She just stared in shock as he walked off down the hall.
