Prompt: I used two, though I didn’t stay faithful to either: (1) Hermione and Snape have a 10th year anniversary. But it does not mark a happy day. It is a day both (or one) or them want to forget. Their story of coming together is not the kind one would tell one' ( Read more... )

I love this. I love them. This is awesome. I've always been a fan of a well-constructed MLC (that's a lie, since my only requirement is actually well-written fic in general). I really like the idea that he's talking to his daughter, and he's edited all the ugly parts out so that he can truthfully tell her that "they couldn't resist."

LOL, that thought of how one would explain something like this to one's child how things began really intrigued me. Glad you like it!

Squeeeeee! You used my MLC prompt, and from what I can tell so far you have done a bang up job of it. Thanks so much. As I said I do love a good MLC. ;-)
Hurrying on now to read ch #2.

Loving this so far. I think it's adorable that Severus seems to think Hermione can't make his life any worse, silly man. I also think he's totally right not to trust Sybil or the marriage law.

LOL, just goes to show -- he doesn't know Hermione as well as he thinks he does! Thanks for commenting! :)

Severus didn't see how that was relevant. "I don't like anyone. If I have to marry, it may as well be you."

I love it how he thinks that's logical. LOL

"My life is already miserable," Severus replied. "I doubt anything you can do will make it worse."

Oh, dear. Talk about tempting fate. ;)

~off to read the next chapter~

One should never make major decisions while panicking, and this kind of logic is why. :D Thanks for commenting!

"I'm probably going to make your life miserable.”

And that's half the fun of Marriage Law fics! Of course, making Snape's life even more miserable is going to be quite the challenge. Now what sneaky someone is in control of this marriage law, or more importantly, the compatibility tests? Hmmmmm.

~Scurries off to chapter 2.~
