It was the first school year at Hogwarts since the end of the War. Severus Snape somehow survived to teach potions to a load of worthless brats. Hermione Granger was back in school sans her dunderhead male camping buddies in order to be able to test for her precious N.E.W.T.S. However, Hermione was still trying to make a relationship with Ron Weasley work out. She only had Ginny to commiserate in Gryffindor Tower as she too was in a similar situation with Harry Potter, the boy that lived twice to become an arse to his girlfriend. Despite the effort that both parties put in, the girls were going to learn the hard way that long distance relationships rarely work out in the end.
Compared to the War, every class that Hermione took was easy except potions. Professor Snape was more vicious and exacting now than previous years. Many students rumored that it had to do with the venom that he absorbed from the Dark Lord's pet snake, Nagini, making his barbs stronger. So the N.E.W.T.S. level Potions class had one extreme project they needed to complete if they want the privilege of sitting their Potions N.E.W.T.S. at the end of term. All N.E.W.T.S. students across the four houses had to make an advanced potion and alter it to fit different but novel need in society. The three Gryffindor girls, Granger, Weasley and Vane, in this class were given Amorentia, Polyjuice, and Elixir to Induce Euphoria respectively.
Romilda Vane felt cheated, she was single this year and all around her there were couples in love whether it be holding hands and snogging in person or love letters set in distance. To add insult to injury, she was not rewarded her actions during the war with publicity or an Order of Merlin. While, plain bluestocking Hermione Granger had everything, a famous boyfriend, publicity and an Order of Merlin. Romilda Vane wanted the fame, an boyfriend and the relational success that came with the aftermath of the war. But she decided that she was going to have to grab it with her own two hands because it wasn't happening to her organically.
Learning from her last disaster with store bought love potions, she decided to tamper with the potions that currently brewing for the N.E.W.T.S. project. At this point in the term everyone had created the original version of their advanced potion. She decided to mix some of her potion to Hermione's potion plus she added a dash of Draco's Veritaserum.
Months later when Hermione altered her potion to be a cure to the Imperius Curse, she still didn't know that her potion was tampered with. Neither did Professor Snape, who decided to to test her potion personally. After he drank a vial of her potion after Draco applied the Imperius Curse on him, he looked into Hermione's eyes immediately dooming them both. The reaction was instantaneous, Professor Snape grabbed Hermione like a sack of potatoes and threw her over his shoulders caveman style and rushed out of Hogwarts like the bat every student thought he was.
When Miss Granger and Professor Snape were finally found in a cave in the Forbidden Forest it was already too late. Miss Granger with the helpful assistance of Miss Vane created a new potion, that insured fertility despite the infertile conditions of both partners. Several elderly childless couples within the Wizarding World rejoiced and were finally able to have the children they wanted for decades creating a population boom. Just in time too because the Ministry was about to take matter into their own hands and force their citizens into loveless marriages. However, only one marriage resulted in this mishap. Hermione was five months pregnant when she finally relented and married her baby daddy, Professor Snape.
