New Developments
It was a few months later when Ministry officials noticed a mistake in the wording of the marriage law. It certainly hadn't been looked at with a comb fine enough to spot that there was no clause guaranteeing the sole purpose of the law.
Currently, couples were only forced to marry and nothing more. Hence, the law was quickly redrafted.
Severus was one of the first people to be informed about the redrafting. He did not like what he heard. Not one bit.
He knew Hermione wouldn't like it either.
So he steeled himself to inform her later that day.
