I don't own any characters. My ideas are my own.

Hey, everyone! I know most of you won't read this but for the few of you who will, this is my first Harry Potter fic!

This one is going to last many chapters and will include sexual scenes and things like rape and torture later in the story.
Obviously if your not happy with that type of stuff then don't read this.

If any of you have ideas for new story's then private message me or leave it in a review!

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

The New Law

Hermione pulled the large stone door of Albus' office open and stepped in slowly peering around the room. Her eyes met with the headmasters and she walked to stand before his desk.

"I am sure you are curious about why I have called you here so late." Dumbledore said, his eyes not leaving the piece of paper he was reading. This was simply met with a nod from a clearly tired Hermione. It was past midnight and she had classes the next morning. She hoped this wouldn't take too long so she could go back to sleep.

"I am sure you are aware of the new marriage law that was passed a few weeks ago." Albus said, still reading.

"Yes, but I didn't think much of it. I'm still sixteen so it doesn't affect me." She clarified. Dumbledore let out a sigh of sadness and met her eyes.

"I'm afraid not Miss Granger. Due to the use of the time turner in your third year, you are technically 17 and therefore eligible for marriage." Hermione gasped in shock and took a step backward.

"There must be a mistake! Isn't there anything we can do?" She cried.

"Sadly not but I have worse news. I am to believe you are in danger. The Dark Lord wishes to marry you off to one of his followers. If he achieves this he could do a number of things. He could use you as a hostage, He could torture you for information or he could try to use you to spy on The Order." Albus stopped when he noticed tears forming in Hermione's eyes.

"You can't be serious... You've got a plan, right? Couldn't you put me into hiding?" Hermione said as the tears streamed down her face.

"You know we can't hide you. We need you to fight, you're one of our best fighters! You must help us win the war. Besides, every witch and wizard of age who is not married has a tracker. They would find you and we wouldn't want to risk the lives of others to protect you when there are other ways of fixing this." Dumbledore said.

"Other ways? Like what!? If you think for one second that I will marry a deatheater then you have truly lost your mind!" She yelled at him with her sadness turning to anger.

"I would never put you in that much danger." Dumbledore replied sounding almost insulted. Albus sighed and stood. He moved to the front of his desk and looked at Hermione in the eyes. She was shaking with anger and fear as the tears flowed freely down her face. He felt extreme pity for the girl.

"I do have a plan but you must trust me. You could marry Severus-" Albus was cut off by a gasp from Hermione.

"You have to be joking Professor! Severus Snape? I could never be married to that- that stuck up, egotistical-" Hermione stopped as she seen a smile cross her Headmasters face. What could he possibly be happy about? Her life was about to change forever, and not for the better!

Hermione's thoughts were cut off by a low chuckle from behind her. She spun around and pulled her wand out. There Severus Snape stood, his hands in the air in an 'I give up' fashion with her wand under his chin and his head facing the roof with a stupid grin.

"That's the same thing I said but instead of 'stuck up' and 'egotistical' I used 'insufferable' and 'know-it-all'" Severus chuckled in a low voice.

Hermione lowered her wand and gave him a death stare before turning back to her Headmaster. Snape walked to stand next to Albus and looked at him with a confident smirk.

"I told you she wouldn't go for it. Come on, old man, pay up!" Severus laughed and held out his hand.

Dumbledore sighed and reached into his pocket to pull out three golden coins and hand them to Severus. Hermione swore there was steam coming out of her ears.

"You bet on me! What kind of Headmaster are you!?" She yelled stamping her feet. She knew it was childish but she didn't care anymore. She was ready to attack her own professor.

"Oh, would you calm down you stupid girl! Don't you understand? It's me or Malfoy, and I'm not talking about Draco, I'm talking about Lucius. Although if they got you then they would both get a share! This is your best bet now control yourself!" Severus snapped at her.

"I'm sixteen and getting married! Of course I'm going to be upset!" She cried.

"Do you think I want this? No, but I'm not crying or throwing a fit and stomping my feet like a three-year-old!" Severus said angrily. Hermione was going to shoot back a snide comment but held it back. She'd had enough drama for that night and she just wanted to go back to her rooms and sleep.

She hung her head and avoided Severus' gaze as she asked permission to leave which was granted. She left with her head down and tears streaming down her face as she imagined her future as Mrs. Hermione Snape.

When she closed the door she couldn't help but hear talking and she pressed her ear against the stone door. The mumbling was faint but she did hear one thing.

"So are you going to tell her about the other law or will I have to tell her that too!?" Dumbledore said in stern voice.
