Hermione learns it is a certain dark-haired wizard's birthday, but when she gets herself into a bit of a predicament, some unexpected, but not unwelcome, results occur. Post-war Hogwarts. Slightly OOC/fluffy in later chapters.

My take on WIKTT's Marriage Law. This has been a naughty little plot bunny that has been bouncing on my writing brain trying to get my attention.
