Prologue: Ok so I am totally bored stuck in the boonies for a couple days so I have decided to write a Harry Potter story! Yay for the people who care to read this and yay for me erasing at least SOME of my boredom! –Claps hands madly like a four year old-
So Harry, the Chosen one or whatever, has killed Voldemort. At the Ministry of Magic (I'll explain it later on), Sirius didn't die and is CLEARED OF ALL charges against him, but some people did die and more people were there then we knew of.
Voldemort had been VERY active since his resurrection, verses him hiding out, and many people, both Muggle and Wizard, died in Raids and Riots.
Here brings about the ever so stupid, bumbling Minister for Magic; Cornelius Fudge. He and the very retardedly fine people at the Ministry have decided that a law must pass to bring back Wizarding numbers.
This new law will put a damper on just about everyone's lives. Congrats to them!
Read and find out what will happen, who will hook up, and WHAT his law is all about!
DISCLAIMER! I hereby disclaim all character, settings, and ideas that belong to the owner and creator of the 'Harry Potter' series. Mrs. JK Rowling owns that world not me!
Warnings: Prepare for OOCness (Which I find granted on SOME level because of the strange situations the characters will be placed in), MalexMale action, MalexFemale action, possible FemalexFemale action, smex, Male Pregnancy, Female Pregnancy, Foul language, past abuse, some gore, and a whole bunch of other things that will probably happen but I haven't quite figured them out yet!

The next morning was a flurry of activity to get ready for Hermione's wedding. The entire Weasley clan, with Harry, Hermione (obviously), Remus, Sirius, and Fleur, who arrived early that morning to accompany Bill, arrived at the office of Magical Marriage & Contraception at 7:20am.
Hermione was in brand new robes, given to her by Fleur. Hermione was stunned by Fleur's niceness but the French maid merely smiled and pushed the folded up, periwinkle, satin robes into Hermione's hands. She and Ginny helped to tame Hermione 'lush but wild 'air…' as Fleur put it, and tamed it into a French braid.
Ron was in the dress robes that he had worn at the Yule ball (The twins hadn't given him new robes and Harry had forgotten to remind them). He looked mortified at his clothing and more mortified at having to marry a Slytherin.
Hermione's wedding and bonding service was drab and dull. Gregory Goyal had his father there, along with his mother and younger brother and sister. Mrs. Greta Goyal had appraised every part o Hermione after the service and remarked 'at least she is smart.' Hermione had looked ready to up chuck when the Ministry official pronounced them 'Mr. and Mrs. Goyal' and a plain silver ring appeared on Hermione and Gregory's left ring finger.
Hermione had been whisked away afterwards to meet with her parents and have lunch with the Goyals.

The Weasley's and company were lounging about in a waiting room for Ron's wedding, snaking of refreshments from Hermione's wedding and talking mildly albeit subdued.
"I can't believe that I have to marry a Slytherin slut," Ron groaned. Molly smacked him on the head.
"Do not call any woman a slut Ronald. No matter how Ms. Greengrass acts, she is going to be your wife. You should get used to it soon for your wedding is in an hour!" Molly trilled at her youngest son.
After that Molly walked away to talk with Arthur and Remus.
"She's still a slut," Ginny agreed quietly. Harry nodded a tad but wished Ron the best of luck.
"I got off easy, I suppose, 'sidering you got Snape," Ron drawled. Harry's face went from sympathetic to annoyed then faded to blank. He rolled his eyes at Ron and walked off to talk with the twins.
"Nice going Einstein," Ginny snapped at her brother. Ron just shrugged.
Ron's wedding took less time. The official went through the nuptials quickly and the blood bonding even quicker. Once the shiny pewter rings hand materialized on the two teenagers' left ring fingers, he bowed the out for another couple to enter.
"I suppose you want Ron to go with you?" Arthur asked. Molly had gone stony silent.
"Yes, we wish to speak with our new son-in-law, we have a gift for them, a house in Wales. He will be free to leave but considering the swiftness of this we want to talk to him," Mr. Trenton Greengrass said stiffly. Arthur insisted on going with Ron for now and the Greengrass family, Daphne, her parents and younger sister, left the Ministry by floo, Ron and Arthur following by floo.

The mood at the burrow was somber as Fleur, Molly, and Ginny helped make arrangements for the others to meet with their betrotheds. Sirius and George sat in the Garden after the family returned, talking quietly.
"I'm sorry about this George, really you kids deserve a chance at real love," Sirius said somberly. George shrugged and fixed a small smirk on his face.
"It'll be ok I guess, Kingsley'll be good to Fred and…well Charlie will manage somehow. Percy…that could be a problem but it'll work out. Harry will probably climb the walls but Fred and I will somehow accidentally ship him tricks every week…" George babbled nervously. Sirius put a hand on the teen's shoulder.
"I meant you, you deserve better than a scraggly old flea bag like me," Sirius joked trying to get the boy to really smile. George smiled a bit and shrugged again.
"You're good Sirius. I'm better off with you than with Malfoy or Greyback," George pointed out glumly.
"To true, maybe I am to good for you," Sirius fake mused, George snorted.

On the 28th of July, the next day Severus Snape arrived at the burrow due to a summons from Molly. He looked paler than normal but was not sneering or scowling… 'A start', Harry mused inwardly. He greeted his to-be husband carefully.
"Professor Snape," Harry said quietly and politely. After all he didn't want to be bonded forever to a man that truly hated him; he knew Snape wasn't as bad as the front he put on for students…but part of him wanted to ignore that and run screaming things like 'YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!' or 'THIS IS THE DAY YOU ALMOST CAUGHT THE-BOY-WHO-LIVED! HARRY POT-' and then he would crash into a tree…Harry had watched one too many 'Pirates of the Caribbean' (I do not own the Pirates of the Caribbean but I love the movies!) videos that Dudley forced him to watch with him.
"Potter," Severus said stiffly but civilly. The two moved to the garden where George and Sirius had talked the day before.
"You…should call me Harry. Tomorrow I'll be a Snape and it'd be kinda weird…" Harry mumbled. Snape gave a light snort but nodded.
"You call me by my given name then as well," Severus stated dryly. Harry nodded bleakly.
"Umm…" Harry started but stopped.
"Yes?" Severus managed to keep the biting tone normally in his voice under control and out of his voice.
"Am I going to be living with you at Hogwarts?" Harry asked cautiously, not wanting to be insulted.
"Yes P-Harry," Severus said. He had promised himself that he would try and be patient with the boy, he had also promised Molly this and Remus as well (who was an old friend of his…even if the Marauders didn't get on well with Snape…Remus alone did… (Why else would he continue to ship Remus the wolfsbane potion every month?)). "And after the wedding and Bonding tomorrow we will retire to Prince Castle."
"Prince Castle?" Harry mumbled.
"My mother was the last heir of the Pureblood Prince family, she is dead and I am now the heir," Severus stated blandly.
"Oh…" Harry said, trying to think of something to talk about with his husband-to-be, "do you have any living relatives?" 'Stupid question and one that will probably come back to bite me in the arse' Harry scolded himself just after.
"My younger sister, Clarisse, her husband Nicolai Durr and their son, Mortimer, they live at Prince Hall, in North Ireland," Severus said dryly. Really he DID NOT want to do this…any of it, damn Fudge…damn the Ministry…damn whoever chose HARRY POTTER as his new husband…damn them all to hell and every other insufferable place imaginable! "You're relatives are coming?"
Harry couldn't help but snort in absolute disbelief.
"I do not see what is funny," Severus snapped. Harry sobered at once.
"No, never," Harry said stiffly. His right hand went to his left wrist and started scratching. He scratched so hard he broke the skin. Severus grabbed his hand and Harry broke out of his slight daze and took his hand back.
"Why…did you do that?" Severus asked pointing his wand at the thin scratches that had started to bead blood and healed them silently.
"I-I didn't notice," Harry mumbled. Severus left it alone for now…it was odd behavior but he didn't want to antagonize his –shiver- fiancé at the moment.
"I shall meet you at the Ministry tomorrow. You're things will be transported by my house elves to Prince Castle," Severus said, standing.
"All I care about are my school things and school clothes. I'll get new Muggle clothes later," Harry said. Severus looked at him oddly but nodded.
"G'Bye," Harry said softly. So softly Severus almost missed it as he turned away.
"Good bye," Severs returned. With that he walked out of the garden then disappeared with a loud 'pop'.

"Time to get up cub," Sirius told Harry softly in the morning. Harry was alone in Ron's room. Fleur was bunking with Hermione and Ginny, Charlie was sharing with Bill while Remus and Sirius shared Bill's room.
"My wedding isn't till tonight," Harry grumbled sleepily. He hadn't slept well at all. Nerves and fear had him riled up and he hadn't gone to sleep until one am and then he had had a nightmare, so no, e had not slept well.
"I know, but we let you sleep in till 11:30 am and now Molly is having a fit saying you'll never be ready in time. Fleur got robes for you as well. You gotta get up cub," Sirius said with a smile.
"Is Remus still ok?" Harry asked sleepily as he got out of bed.
"He's…coping," Sirius said awkwardly, "he'll be ok. Remi is strong and he's got us!"
Harry smiled beside himself.

At 5:45 pm exactly Harry stood at the makeshift altar in the office were Hermione and then Ron had been married and bonded at two days ago. His breath caught in his throat and he forced a deep breath in.
He was standing there in deep navy blue, silk, dress robes that Fleur had graciously given him. She had insisted on fixing him up like a doll that morning with Molly. Harry's hair had grown over the summer to where it reached his shoulders. Fleur had pulled it back with a hair tie and Mrs. Weasley had made sure Harry looked wondrous.
Sirius was giving him away and Bill was his best man.
Severus stood across from him. The potions master looked…well put simply, HOT! He was in emerald green dress robes that Harry could only guess were cashmere. Severus's hair was also pulled back in a low pony tail.
Behind him as his best man stood Lucius Malfoy.
Behind him was Draco, who was holding the arm of Blaize Zanabi…err Blaize Malfoy. Harry had been told by Ron that while Ron was looking at the wedding roster to make sure he got the time right he saw Draco and Blaize's names for the 28th of July at noon. Ron had eagerly told Harry that the Malfoy heir and Zanabi son were to marry the day after Ron himself; both Ron and Harry had had a animated conversation on which Slytherin would be the dominant of that particular pairing.
Blaize was slightly hidden behind Draco, Harry hadn't talked to Blaize personally but it seemed that Draco was the dominant in that pairing.
And also was a pretty witch at 29 (Severus is 35 at the current time). She has long wavy black hair and pale skin like her brother, even the same large Roman nose, but hers was not crooked like Severus's. She has deep grey eyes instead of black.
Next to her stood her husband, Nicolai, is 39. Who compared to Clarisse's small stature and skinny frame, is a wall of a man. Nicolai is standing a good four inches taller than Severus and a good deal broader in the chest. He had cinnamon hair and brown eyes and tan skin.
Their son Mortimer is age 6; he looks a carbon copy of his father except for the Roman nose and grey eyes of his mother.
The official stepped up to the two grooms.
"We are gathered here to marry and bond Severus Salazar Dmitri Snape and Harry James Potter. Who gives Harry away?"
"I, Sirius Black, do," Sirius said. He placed a kiss on Harry's forehead and backed up to stand next to the Weasleys.
"And who are the witnesses of this union?" The official asked.
"I, Lucius Malfoy, am the witness for Severus," Lucius said, his prideful tone rung in Harry's ears.
"I, William Weasley, am the witness for Harry," Bill said kindly.
"Please present your left palms," The official told the grooms. They did so, the official took a ceremonial dagger and sliced there palms open from the base of the middle finger to the base of the palm, "and join them." They did and their blood started running together.
"Severus, repeat after me. 'I Severus Snape here by claim Harry Potter as my husband and bond mate. As the dominant of this pair I swear to protect him, his honor, and any children we may have. I swear to support him and provide for him'."
"I Severus Snape here by claim Harry Potter as my husband and bond mate. As the dominant o this pair I swear to protect him, his honor, and any children we may have. I swear to support him and provide for him," Severus said quietly.
"Harry, repeat after me. 'I Harry Potter here by claim Severus Snape as my husband and bond mate. As the carrier of this pair I swear to care for him, protect his honor, bare and rear any children we may have. I swear to uphold his social standing to the best of my ability and make a good family life for him'."
"I Harry Potter here by claim Severus Snape as my husband and bond mate. As the carrier of this pair I swear to care for him, protect his honor, bare and rear any children we may have. I swear to uphold his social standing to the best of my ability and make a good family life for him," Harry said softly.
"I, by the power invested in me by the Ministry for Magic, hereby bond you for life as husbands and bond mates," the official said. The blood that was trickling down their arms turned into a magical crimson ribbon, bound the two hands and then disappeared in a flash of light. In its wake it left two white gold marriage bands on Harry and Severus's left ring fingers. Harry's has a rose vine that is inscribed in his ring spelling 'Severus'. Severus's has a rose vine that is inscribed on his ring that spells 'Harry'.
"Kiss to seal your bond," the official instructed.
Severus bent down and gently pressed his lips to Harry's for just a few seconds then pulled away. Harry's cheeks colored lightly.
"I now pronounce you Severus and Harry Snape," declared the official.

After the wedding was a small reception in a waiting room. The Weasleys were talking happily, glad that at least Harry's wedding was slightly better than Ron or Hermione's so far.
Harry stood off to the side with Sirius and Remus. Severus was speaking with Lucius when Clarisse came up to Harry.
"Harry?" She asked, she held out had hand to him, Harry noted almost sadly that even she was slightly taller than pour him who is stuck at 5' 4". "Hello, I'm Clarisse Durr; you're new sister-in-law. I hoped that Sevy would introduce us but he's always been anti-social. How are you?"
"Hello Mrs. Clarisse. It's nice to meet you too. I'm ok," Harry said quietly.
"Call me Clarisse or Clair. Everyone does. And call Nicolai, Nick. I'm sorry he had to leave early but Morty, our son Mortimer got sick from the cake. I should've seen it but he's fine now. Just hives," Clarisse said good-naturedly. Harry's eyes widened.
"Is he ok? He got hives?" Harry asked.
"Oh, yes, Morty is lactose intolerant and I forgot to warn Mrs. Weasley because all of my friends and Sev knows. He probably assumed I told her. I let Morty have some and there he went. Hives all over, the poor dear. But no harm no foul," Clarisse explained. Harry made up his mind that she and his knew husband –shiver- had polar opposite attitudes.
After a long chat with Clarisse, Harry went to talk with Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie. Ron and Hermione were on their honey moons and couldn't make it. Percy had been called away to work at the last minuet ad apologized over and over but couldn't come.
"You ok," Charlie asked putting a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"I'll be ok?" Harry replied, "Are you all ok?"
"We're fine Harry. Stop worrying over us so much," Fred said, "it's your wedding day. Worry about yourself…at least today."
"If we have to go on our…honey moon I hope it's AFTER your weddings," Harry said mildly.
"Snape is a good guy…at least kind of. He'll probably let you come, it's not like you're his slave," Bill insisted. Harry didn't have time to talk to the other Weasleys in depth because a few minuets later Severus informed him that it was time to go. Harry didn't protest as to save them a fight and hugged everyone goodbye. Even Clarisse, though he merely shook Draco's hand amicably, quickly squeezed Blaize's hand, and only gave a quick nod to Lucius.
"Are you alright?" Severus asked him quietly as they walked down to the apparition point.
"Peachy," Harry muttered, realization of what was really happening ad set in the moment he left that waiting room. He felt slightly ill with nerves and…fear…and confusion and every other not nice emotion he could possibly have at the moment.
"You should tell the truth," Severus said, stopping just short of the apparition point, "I don't want to deal with getting you into a panic because you won't tell me if something is wrong. Neither of us wanted this but it's done and I plan to uphold both of our honor, and if I have to alone then I will. Calm down and talk to me so I know what to do."
"N-Not now, not here," Harry uttered lightly. Severus rolled his eyes slightly but nodded and took Harry's hand as the reached the apparition point and twisted on the spot. He and Harry disappeared to Prince Castle.
