Great marriage law kind of story!

The only sensible thing would be to leave the country, either that or rebel.
Anything else is just nonsense.

Thanks for the story!

:) :)

Loved this! Harry and Hermione deserve every happiness, and it's always better late than never to share love. Good thing they figured it out so easily in their lives that it will ultimately become more of an anecdote of their lives together. I also liked the connection between your opening and closing lines of this story!

Update please

Oh damn, they want eachother.

Yikes.

Harry should just tell Hermione how he feels. Worse thing in the world would be to always wonder.

That was a nice ending. I’m glad we got to see something of Lavender even if we didn’t see Ron.

Appropriately fluffy ending.

Wonderful, sexy lemon grove. What they did and said was exactly the right thing.

They finally got off their chests what they mean to each other — and it’s the same thing. They’ve been so caught up in the roles they had to play under ‘The Plan’ that they forgot to feel and communicate their emotions to the other.

A final thought on what I hate about the marriage law concept. Three children is too few! Some children will not live to adulthood. Some witches and wizards will die before they have three children. To make this ‘law’ serve its purpose it should specify four children, with bonuses for children after that.

Regardless of the sugarcoating, these young magicals will know that in the end they are really only viewed as commodities.

A good start. BTW, you really bring to the fore what I despise about the concept behind the marriage law trope. At its core, it’s dehumanizing. It is exactly what you’d expect Voldemort to do had he won.

Harry is right to feel he and Hermione aren’t married, merely roommates who also share child rearing duties. He dread of soon having her out of his life in any meaningful manner (as if they are together in any meaningful way now) is quite real, given that he knows she means far more to him than what they’ve allowed themselves to be. He is in love with her and the bitch is that she gives him no reason the suspect she feels more than platonic friendship.

Had a specific need to read this fic this morning and spent ten minutes trying out different search words to track it down. Always a good reread. Thanks for writing it!

good story.

This is a lovely story . I’m so glad they finally figured out their mutual love and attraction.
