   Summary

   My twist on the marriage laws.

   Severus Snape survived Nagini, barely, only to learn that the Ministry will be sending all Death Eaters to Azkaban. Hermione Granger comes up with a drastic plan to save him: if Kingsley will let Severus go, Hermione will become the poster child for the Ministry's marriage initiatives.

   It's a marriage of convenience that becomes a soft, slow burn romance.
