Summary
In the tense atmosphere of Hogwarts during Hermione’s sixth year, the Ministry passes a controversial Marriage Preservation Act designed to secure political alliances and maintain control as Voldemort’s influence grows. To both their horror, Hermione Granger and the newly appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Severus Snape, are declared a magically sanctioned match.
Forced into an engagement neither wants, Hermione finds herself navigating the sharp edges of Snape’s bitterness, secrecy, and dangerous position at Voldemort’s side. Snape, meanwhile, views the arrangement as yet another chain placed upon him by a world that only ever demands sacrifice.
