    Summary

    He always knew he wasn’t good enough for her.

    But somehow, something had gone right — for what felt like the first time in Draco's miserable life. He had one good thing: a blissfully happy, sex-fuelled start of a brand new relationship with Hermione Granger.

    He’d had one good thing.

    Then the Ministry took it away by betrothing her to someone else.

     

    or

     

     

    Marriage law gone wrong.

     

     

    (don't worry, neither Draco nor Hermione sleep with anybody else)

    Summary

    When a pandemic of Runespoor Fever sweeps through the wizarding world at the end of 2003, leaving a full quarter of its victims infertile, the International Confederation of Wizards takes drastic action. A marriage and reproductive law is enacted, throwing the wizarding world into upheaval.

    Lightly inspired by the 1989 film The War of the Roses, (but without the animal death,) and our own recent pandemic.

    She was wearing one of her neat, buttoned-up outfits as always; brown herringbone trousers and a silky cream blouse that covered her from throat to wrist, her hair braided around her head but not quite as neat as usual. He stopped several feet from her and frowned. “Why do you smell of smoke, Granger?”

    “Does it really matter, Malfoy?” She skewered him with a glare, arms folding across her chest. “Perhaps I took up smoking.”

    “And did you?”

    She gave him an ‘are you mad?’ look. “No, I burnt down my office,” she said exasperatedly, as if it should’ve been obvious, and he tried to refrain from giving her an ‘are you mad?’ look in return.

    Summary

    After the war, the magical population, especially the males, was decimated. In order to rebuild the population every male wizard was required to father a child with at least 3 different witches. Harry and Ginny are engaged. Ron was killed in the war and Hermoinie doesn't have a boyfriend, so she agrees to be his second. Harry needs to find a third witch. There are several possibilities from among his friends circle, and then he receives a request to meet from an unexpected source; former Slytherin, Daphne Greengrass and her father.

    Neville, Fred, George, Bill and all other fertile male wizards face similar choices.

    This story takes place during a slightly non-canon version of the Harry Potter universe. The main events of the books happened, but some slightly differently than the books and movies. Some characters who died in the book and movie (Fred) lived, and some who lived in the books and movies died (Ron). These changes were all made for specific narrative and character driven reasons.

    Summary

    Saving Olympus is hard enough when your best hero is missing and a Godkiller is stalking immortals. Add in one extremely persistent sun god, a fake marriage, and a 4,000-year-old prophecy Apollo has definitely not been obsessing over, and things get complicated fast.

    Or: Apollo learns that waiting millennia for your fated soulmate is one thing. Convincing her to actually fall in love with you? That’s another story entirely.

    Fake marriages, bad flirting, ancient prophecies, and one very determined sun god who refuses to stop being a wife guy.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, Hermione Granger is (Check all that may apply):
    - exhausted
    - overworked
    - barely keeping it together
    She is charged with heading up a new department for the Ministry of Magic, but to her chagrin she is unable to change the ministers mind when he rolls out a new program. The Marriage Lottery. She is forced into a high profile marriage to the second most notorious death eater her age, Theodore Nott.

    Theodore Nott stands by the three W's. Whiskey. Witches. Wrestling - well okay, it's fighting but he's a sucker for a good alliteration. He spends his days drinking away his recent heartache, and trying to make sense of the curly haired swot sitting at his dining room table. Echoes of his father haunt him, his home pushes him toward something new, his knuckles are always bruised.

    (A Note from Synicol: Hi readers! This fic is the fourth installment of my series 'The Dragon and The Lyre'. BUT it can be read as a standalone! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE FIRST THREE TO UNDERSTAND THIS FIC. I will update regularly, and I hope you all love this as much as I do<3 xoxox, Synicol.)

    Summary

    Harry Potter is dead, the Ministry has fallen, and the Dark Lord reigns supreme. Nine years after Horace Slughorn saves her from the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, Hermione Dagworth-Granger has finally carved a place for herself in a world she once fought to save—one that had been lost to shadow. When Minister Lucius Malfoy passes an addendum to the Purity Accords requiring all eligible pureblood witches and wizards under age twenty-eight to marry, Hermione is confronted with an impossible choice. With only a year to secure a husband and bury her secrets, the stakes are higher than ever.

    Enter Draco Malfoy: Voldemort’s favored young commander, increasingly haunted by his bloodline and the consequences of his allegiance. As war rages and loyalties shift, Hermione and Draco find themselves drawn together, each hiding truths that could destroy them both. In a world ruled by fear and deception, love is a dangerous game—and survival demands a darker kind of courage.

    Summary

    Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger is a celebrated hero, a tireless political reformer–but behind closed doors, she's drowning in a Ministry that praises her with one breath and silences her with the next. She's brilliant, respected... and dangerously close to being done playing by their rules.

    Cleared of his war crimes and sharper than ever, Draco Malfoy didn't just survive the fallout–he seized it. The most feared name in Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld, he controls the flow of potions, secrets, and power. And now, he's being ordered to marry the Ministry's Golden Girl.

    Thrown into a marriage neither expected and neither intends to lose, Hermione and Draco must decide whether to rule from the shadows or burn the whole damn system down... together.

    He may be the King of Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld–

    but she is the Queen.

    And may the gods help anyone who disrespects the Queen.

    Summary

    It was seven years after the war before the curse first made itself known. Another three before Hermione found herself gazing down at her Ministry-appointed match. She had thought the choice to be obvious at first: bind her soul and keep her magic, or remain unbound and risk losing herself to the untethered chaos her magic had become. It had seemed so simple, until it had been Arthur Weasley's name staring back at her.

    Summary

    The Marriage Program Act offers a streamlined path to meaningful, lasting partnerships, especially for those who have experienced disruption and loneliness due to the war. By removing traditional hard barriers to connection, it provides all eligible participants with the opportunity to build strong supportive relationships without the delays typically associated with dating or courtship.

    The wizarding world becomes ecstatic over the new marriage law that's cleverly being passed as a new trendy way to meet your forever match. Only Hermione seems to be able to see or care for what it really is, a way to regrow the wizard population.

    Everyone ridicules Hermione, telling her to let it go as shes exempt from the new law due to her own engagement anyway. That is, until she wakes up to a letter from the Ministry with a date set and scheduled for her marriage to her new anonymous match that has been assigned after Ron fails to return home after a stag night out with his friends.

    Summary

    Harmony with a past-AU! Remember watching a movie where two friends gave up a baby in secret and thought what if?!

    Harry and Hermione had a baby boy that they gave up for adoption before the war in order to save his life and protect him. What happens now that they find out the the people that were supposed to take care of him died in a house fire?! That is not the only twist that occurs.

    Things are not always what they seem! There is no black or white. Just people staring at shades of grey wondering what to do now?!

    Side note, I have never written anything before, and I speak a few different languages. So if I miss something please let me know.

    Summary

    Ministry Directive 32
    To ensure moving past any and all lingering Blood-purity views, all Pureblood wizards and witches are henceforth forbidden from marrying other Purebloods.
    Unmarried Purebloods who have aided, abetted and otherwise were tied to the Death Eater movement, are furthermore obliged to, without exception (unless it involves Directive 24), marry a Muggleborn. They have one year to find adequate spouses. Non-compliance with Directive 32 will result in a fine of 150.000 Galleons and 5 years’ incarceration in Azkaban.
    ***
    “I understand.” Lucius Malfoy folded his hands on his cane and sat straighter. “As you may have noticed, Directive 32 has some of my former associates in a bit of a tizzy.”
    Hermione snorted before she could help herself. Lucius blinked at her as if she had spat on the floor. “Apologies, please continue,” she said.
    “Ah, well… I have come to you with an opportunity. As I have been told, you receive dozens of proposals a day. In person as well as in the form of letters. Were you to agree to my proposition, that would all go away.”
    “And what exactly are you asking of me, Mister Malfoy?”
    “In short, to marry my son and thus keeping him out of Azkaban.”

    Summary

    The Ministry makes a grave mistake when they pass a marriage law and no one wants to have their name attached to what will undoubtedly be an unpopular law, or deal with the fallout.

    While well-intentioned in its execution, chaos ensues when letters go out to every witch and wizard between the ages of 20-35 informing them that wizards have been provided Ministry-issued wedding rings that bind couples together for life once on a witch's finger. Whoever is left unmatched at the end of three weeks will be matched from within the pool of leftovers, or go to Azkaban.

    Wizarding Britain erupts into frantic motion as wizards all race to get a ring on a suitable witch, and Hermione Granger is a decidedly unwilling witch.

    OR:
    An ill-adjusted werewolf working in the Ministry is given the task of executing the matching process for the new marriage law. Turning the wizarding world on its head and causing unexpected chaos, duelling in the streets and a couple witches who are nope-ing the fuck out.

    (Just a bit of comedy and fun in the form of a semi-crackfic)

    Summary

    Прошло пять лет после Битвы за Хогвартс, и волшебный мир превратился в чертов бардак. Население сокращается, экономика рушится, и Гермиона Грейнджер решила согласиться на брак по расчёту — но лишь затем, чтобы её выдвинули в старомодный Визенгамот. Ведь Визенгамот упорно закрывает глаза на проблемы мира, а Гермиона намерена их исправить. Правда, она никак не ожидала, что её сведут с Драко сраным Малфоем, новым консультантом ОМП, который носит свои азкабанские татуировки с той же гордостью, что и свою детскую ухмылку. Но надо признать, между бурными событиями ее фарсовых отношений, продажными политиками и серийным убийцей на свободе, ничего из жизни Гермионы не идет по плану.

    Возможно, хейт-секс с мужем хоть немного поможет?

    Summary

    After the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger returns to rebuild what war has shattered — the castle, her purpose, and the pieces of herself she no longer recognises.

    But the world she helped save is shifting beneath her feet: laws born of fear threaten freedom, old enemies seek redemption, and unexpected bonds begin to blur the lines between duty, loyalty, and love.

    Amid politics, forgiveness, and the quiet work of healing, Hermione must decide what it truly means to build a new future — and what kind of home her heart can belong to.

    Some houses are rebuilt with stone. Others with trust.
