This was a cute story, but I wish the author wrote a bit beyond the stereotypical character plots and pitfalls. Hermione’s character comes off so hypocritical and judgmental at times. Case in point... taking the muggle birth control pills... which is totally counterproductive to why they are being forced into getting married, especially without letting Severus know. Proceeding to then lie about it to several people...and hoping she doesn’t get caught, but then blaming Severus for “almost getting them thrown into Azkaban” for being upset with her about her control issues. I also wish everyone would get over the “Hermiones house elf liberation fanatical viewpoint” that so many write about adnauseum. I know cannon HP Spew...but this is a girl that eventually kept Rita Skeeter in a jar, realized that Not just Wizards enslaved creature...( Gringott’s dragon). I think she would have come to see that most house elves want to serve their masters.. they want to be considered family... it’s what makes them happy. Not wages and vacations forced on them. To force a creature to do something it doesn’t want even for its own supposed good is really just another act of enslavement. Other than those issues, it was a cute story and a pleasant read.

Beautiful story! Thank you for the great reading piece!

Such a great story! I can see Severous falling fast like this! Glad they were able to work things out for a real marriage and happiness.

The Spanish translation was awful. It was difficult to understand and spanish is my first language. Please change it.
"Aquél hombre te mira como si te quisiera matar." (That man looks like he wants to kill you.)

"Puede ser. O tal vez te quiere matar a ti," she replied. (Perhaps. Or maybe he wants to kill you.)

"¿Es tu novio?" (Is he your boyfriend?)

"Marido." (Husband)

"¿Porqué no baila contigo?" (Why does he not dance with you?)

"Él odia bailar." (He hates to dance)

"Es un hombre muy afortunado de tener una esposa tan bella." (He is a very lucky man to have such a beautiful wife)

"Gracias."

"Y tu eres una mujer afortunada de tener un esposo tan protector." (And you are a lucky woman to have such a protective husband)

:-)

Good story would be easier to read if put in multiple chapters and who in their right mind would name a MALE Cleo that is a FEMALE name

I thoroughly enjoyed this fic! Just wonderful.

I thouroughly enjoyed your story and look forward to reading future ones.

I really enjoyed this, nicely characterised and well written.

However, there were a few jarring mistakes that a beta would have caught for you. I'm primarily thinking of *St Mongo's* which is pretty bad since *Mongo* is a really vile, ablist insult in the UK. (And Ricky Gervais is a complete arse to say otherwise.) I would also suggest breaking up such a long fic into chapters for ease of reading. It's a pain in the neck to have to stop then come back and discover your browser has reloaded to the top of the page.

I really loved the relationship between Hermione and Severus... add to the fact that this is a marriage law AND a oneshot and I call it perfection! Thank you for sharing this entertaining story that left a smile on my face with their HEA. :)

Best one shot marriage law fic ever!

Very nice story. well balanced. Right amount of angst issues romance n fluff. Believable and well written. Ty.

Loved it!

I just spent the past two hours, that I should've been sleeping, reading this. It is wonderfully written and easily one of my new favorite stories.

A few mistaken words here and there, but overall a fun and fluffy one-shot. I liked it a lot! Thank you.
