Anything But That

"They both have every right to offer for your hand, Hermione. It's not surprising they did."

"But sir, they're the Malfoy's! Who knows what they would do to me… I wish Harry and Ron weren't already married." Hermione felt close to tears but refused to cry in front of Dumbledore, especially since Professor Snape was sitting in the corner.

"I have only one suggestion, Hermione."

"Anything. Anything's better than the Malfoy's."

"You would hold true to that statement, Granger?" Severus' silky voice reached Hermione's ear.

She replied with a vehement, "Yes."

"In that case, Miss Granger, will you marry me?"


A/N: So this is basically a marriage law fic, but since I really haven't stuck to any laws (nor even know what such laws would be) you'll just have to figure that both Harry and Ron would have been suitable suitors. :)
