Severus looked at the letter in his hand and sneered down at it. She wanted to know his thoughts about women in the work area, their roles in marriage and children. He hated children and the only reason they would have any because they had to, women can handle a lot of situations better than men while in a workplace and the roles should be 50/50 to make a marriage work. He wrote most of that down only saying that the whole having children thing would depend on the child they had first, how the pregnancy went and if they really felt they needed more. He wanted to tell her that marriage was a stupid idea made my men in order to be able to trap one woman for all time. He wasn’t sure if she would feel the same way and he didn’t want to marry a brainless twit.
“How’s the letter writing with Hermione, Severus?” Remus asked from the doorway on his classroom.
“Do you have super eye-sight too?” Severus snapped.
“No” He answered “Dumbledore told Minerva, Minerva told Dora and Dora told me”
“Wow” Severus sneered “Three people too many knowing my personal business”
“You don’t mind Dumbledore knowing your personal life?” Remus asked with a chuckle as he walked closer to the potions masters desk “Then again, do any of us really have a say in that matter?”
“No” Snape answered “So, why are you here?” He leaned back in his chair “To yell at me again for not telling you the secret of Dumbledore’s fake death?”
“You’re still mad at me about that?” Remus asked.
“Not mad” He answered “But this is the longest conversation we’ve held since you called me…oh what was it…ah yes, ‘a lying, conniving, slimy worm of a death eater’ so you know…”
“I apologize for that” Remus said “And in all honesty I’ve been too embarrassed by my actions to talk to you, I was hoping that all could have been forgotten”
“Very mature” Severus smirked “Is that what you’re teaching the children about taking care of a fight, just pretend it didn’t happen and maybe it’ll go away?”
“No” He answered and looked down at his feet “I’m here to offer any help or advice I can”
“In what?” Snape sneered “How to be a werewolf?”
“You know what?” Remus said shaking his head “Never mind, I just thought that being a married man…against my will at first I could offer help and I stupidly thought that maybe you’d like to talk but I forgot” He glared “You know everything”
“Wait” Severus called as the werewolf was just outside of the classroom “Come with me” Severus led the man in to his private office where he poured a tumbler of fire whiskey for himself and for Remus. Then he sat down and raised an eyebrow at Remus who was standing there like a moron, slowly he made his way to the couch and sat down looking at Severus.
“How…” Severus started but broke off “How did this work for you with Tonks?”
“I’m not really sure” Remus laughed “She chased after me over and over again. I finally gave in and had sex with her one time and BAM! She’s pregnant and we’re getting married”
“What a great pep-talk” Severus sneered at him.
“Fine” Remus said “Hermione is a strong woman like Dora is and you know strong women want?”
“What?” Severus asked with a bored expression
“A stronger man” Remus answered.
“Is this you talking or the wolf?” Snape asked with a grin.
“They don’t want to be hit over the head and dragged in to the bedroom by you…well I don’t think Dora would mind me doing that” He chuckled when Severus looked horrified “They want a man that can be sensitive to their needs and yet not afraid to take the upper hand and make a decision every once in a while”
“Okay” He looked pensive for a moment “So, I should ask to meet her”
“And choose the place to go but ask her opinion on it before making a reservation” Remus offered “It shows that you aren’t afraid or upset by this law”
“But I am” Severus pointed out “I was happy to spend my life alone, teaching and then hopefully dying alone and being thrown in the forbidden forest to be eaten by the Acromantula’s”
“That is a very grim hope for your future” Remus said “And for that reason alone I’m happy you’re being forced to marry” He looked at the list that had been sitting on the table between them “Wow…this woman has to be fifty!” Remus laughed to himself “They say they make sure that you’re compatible at least sexually with these women but really?”
“I was a little…horrified when I saw that list” Severus said “Some of those names are mental to say the least”
“Well then this list should make your decision easier” Remus said “Hermione Granger is the only woman that fits you intellectually as well as in sarcasm”
“That’s true” Snape smirked.
“Think about it” Remus said “Your only true competition is Blaise Zabini because he is smart, handsome, driven and her age however!” He held his finger up when Severus was ready to say something “You have always tested her, made her think outside of the box and try harder than she wanted to. You are beyond intelligent and able to do what is needed of you”
“So what are you saying?” Severus asked.
“That you think like her” Remus answered “You don’t mind her working, research or her pioneering to make the wizarding world a better place and you guys could have extremely magical children”
“I hate children” Severus muttered.
“Just think about it” Remus finished his drink and stood up “Dora wanted to bring Teddy out for a walk, so I’ve got to go”
“What’s it like?” Severus asked him before he left “Having a child?”
“Its great” He answered “Terrifying and rewarding. There’s nothing better than watching your child learn something for the first time and yet it’s scary because as they grow up they need you less and less”
“Your sons two” Severus pointed out “How can he not need you?”
“I used to have to carry him everywhere” Remus said “I used to feed him, bathe him, change his clothes, change his nappy and lay down in my bed with him on my chest and let him sleep” He looked sad “Now he feeds himself does most of his own bathing, of course I or Dora am there but it’s not the same. He dresses himself, not well I might add, he’s becoming more and more potty-trained and often times, he falls asleep in his own bed” He smirked to himself “He needs me less and less”
“So what happens when he’s older?” Severus asked, he didn’t know why but he actually felt bad for Remus.
“When he’s six” Remus said “He’ll make friends and go to primary school, he’ll still love us of course and still spend time with us. At age eleven he’ll come here and pretend not to know me and pray Dora won’t talk to him in the hallway. By fourteen we’ll have that horrible sex-talk which will leave us avoiding one another, he’ll want to spend more and more time with his friends and less with us. When he’s seventeen he’ll graduate Hogwarts and move away to go to University, then get a job, meet a girl and the whole thing starts again but this time, I’ll be the grandfather”
“Wow…that’s depressing” Severus said with a smirk.
“Not to worry for me” Remus answered “I have a young wife and she is already begging for another baby”
“And how exactly are you avoiding it?” Snape asked.
“I told her that there should at least be three years between siblings” He answered “It’s working, so far”

Three weeks later and Hermione got a letter from the Ministry telling her that she would be allowed to go on a one date with at least two of the men that have caught her interest. However, after that she would have to make her final decision and be courted one man for a whole year in hopes that she had found her soulmate. She stayed up late in to the night going through the six letters she had from different suitors, slowly she weeded them out incinerating the ones she was choosing so she wouldn’t keep going back to them. She was down to three now, she couldn’t believe that it all came down to three Slytherins. Gregory Goyle, Blaise Zabini and Severus Snape. It was three in the morning and she was pacing her bedroom floor with the tip of her quill in her mouth going through the pros and cons of all three men. Severus’s letters were witty, challenging and made her laugh and she loved to reread them to pick them apart. Blaise was intelligent and his letters were always well thought out and super long making them very fun to read. Greg’s letters were usually shorter than the others and they hardly really got too far in to conversations but he assured her that he was a better at talking in person than writing it all down. She sighed and sat down at her desk picking her quill up and started to write out her letter to Greg.
Dear Gregory,
I have really been appreciative of our conversations and really would like to get to know you on a more personal level but I just don’t think that we would do well as a married couple. I know that I may be looking too far in to the future but I can’t help it, inevitably I have to. I wish you luck with your search for your future wife and hope that we can meet soon as friends.
Sincerely,
Hermione Granger
Satisfied with her goodbye letter to Goyle she sent it out immediately, not wanting to give herself a chance to feel bad. This was her future she was thinking about. As instructed by the ministry she sent them a letter telling them who she chose to meet on a date. After the date she would have to make her decision about who to allow to court her for a year.
