Unexpected Marriage

idea by 'potter' on aff.net

Zenia Wulfe

a/n i liked the idea of the story so during my spare time at

work i started writing this in a small notepad. credit goes to

'potter' of aff.net for the concept... well, the summary states

what i took.

summary: severus snapes mother comes to visit him and gets him

to sign a marriage contract. she then goes in search of the perfect

girl to bare severus' children, because she is worried that she will

never get them.

pairing: ss/hg

rating: 18 i guess later on

"That is totally absurd Mother!" Severus Snape exclaimed.

"Dear boy, you are nearly fourty years old and you have yet to take a wife.

I am an old woman. I want grandchildren before I pass on."

Severus sighed as he plowed a pale hand through his silky black hair.

"Mother, you wish to match me with a woman that I so not even know!" He

immediatley corrected himself, "Well, I may possibly know her, but I won't know

until after you have chosen. Since you want me to sign the contract first!"

"Darling, do you not trust your own mother? I only want to match you with a

pretty and intellegent woman at a good, child bearing age. I want your children

to be the best, son. Please do this for your dear, old mum. The Snape line

needs to continue." The elderly Mrs. Snape was sounding desperate.

"But what if we can not stand each other Mother?"

Mrs. Snape brightened up, "No worries. This contract lasts for one year. So

if you decide to break apart you may do so legally after one year."

Severus, being one to like to please his mother, reluctantly agreed and signed

the ivory parchment. It glowed silver for an instant then paled to a warm beige

color.

Mrs. Snape left and Severus was left wondering who she would choose to bear her

those stupid grandchildren she wanted so badly.

Potter has allowed me to write a story from the same summary as her, so if you have

a flame about how much of a copier i am... then just bug off.

i thought it was very interesting and i thought that this would be one that

i would be able to write well and actually finish.

i also prefer short chapters... that way it makes me feel like i have written more,

and maybe i can write faster that way. anyhoo, please review for me :D
