Insufferable Attraction

Prologue

The Wizard World had undergone their second war against the most feared wizard of their time. However good had prevailed over evil and Lord Voldemort was no more. This was thanks to the Wizarding World's savior Harry Potter, Boy Who Lived, and twice apparently from what was heard. Everyone had rejoiced their victory and freedom, others mourning their losses of loved ones. Despite all this, everyone was able to move on with their lives, either in the workplace or romance and family wise.

A new minister was appointed, that person being Kingsley Shacklebolt. With him entering office, he set about undoing harmful legislations that had been enacted in the last year. Though most of them were able to be overturned, others took longer and were harder to do so. Though things were changing, there were still those in high places that wanted things to stay the same in some aspects. Those that were higher up were Purebloods that were taking notice of certain Pureblood family lines about to go extinct. This caused an uproar and a demand that these bloodlines continue on, even if they produced Halfbloods. So long as the bloodline continued, it didn't matter that the offspring were only part Pureblood. And three specific names kept continuously popping up.

Kingsley had mixed emotions about this and had completely declined against it. However pressure to do so caused him to make a hard decision two years later, this decision being that the Ministry would arrange a marriage for the three family names that were continuously spoken of. The first name that kept being spoken of was the Potter family. The Potters were basically wiped out save for Harry, so there was still hope for that family. The next family name had been the Lestrange family. That name had some negative comments due to the Lestrange brothers being involved with Lord Voldemort, but of the two Rabastan had been pardoned when he had a change of heart midway through the Battle of Hogwarts and turned on the Voldemort's forces, all of this being witnessed by several members of the Order and Dumbledore's Army. He still had to serve another year in prison, but once he was out the Lestrange wedding could commence. The final name that had been spoken of and chosen was the Prince family.

This family name had been a bit of a dilemma at first, considering the Prince family no longer existed. The last known member had been Eileen Prince, but she left the Wizarding World almost forty years ago and hadn't been seen since. However it didn't take long for it to be known that she had a son, that son turning out to be Severus Snape who was found alive and pardoned on account of Harry's statements defending him following the war. Though he did not carry the last name, the man carried the Prince family blood in his veins and that was enough for those Purebloods.

With those three families in mind, all that was left was to find an exceptional woman for each man to marry. And what woman was more exceptional than one close to the savior of the Wizarding World? And the one that continuously was spoken about and who to pair her up with was the brightest witch of her age, Hermione Granger.

Author's Note: This is a new story that I've had in the works mentally, and am finally getting around to writing it. This story's plot is a result of a poll taken, the most votes going to a Ministry arranged marriage between Severus and Hermione. I'm excited to take a turn of writing a Severus and Hermione story and seeing where it will go. I hope you guys like it and stick around to read. XOXO, SehunsBae37.
