After a new law reduces witches to chattel, Hermione Granger finds herself married to Severus Snape in order to keep her from the Death Eaters.
Hermione begins to shadow Severus in his work with the Order. They begin to form a mutual respect and love for each other after Hermione works as negotiator to a matriarchal secret society, the Amazons.
Severus stations them in Russia, where his family has a home, and his cousin is active in patriarchal secret society, the Mystic Brotherhood, who has been at odds with the Amazons for years.
After the Final Battle is fought, one would think the Order would be done with its work, but after Harry is scarred forever, Hermione is given a holy artifact, and a mysterious string of Muggle murders catches the attention of the Ministry, it seems as if their work is just beginning...

OMG! That must be Rowena Ravenclaw peering out from the mirrow in Hermione's bathroom.This little story is taking a fun turn, isn't it? Well done!Beth
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Close! It's a fun story to write :D
Loved it! I'm looking forward to finding out the secrets of Hermione's room!
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Thanks!
I thought Severus thinking about whether or not to send his mother-in-law flowers and whether it would make his father-in-law mad was quite funny. Do both sets of parents continue to be part of the story?
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Oh yes and you get to meet more of their extended families as well. :D
Jacob and Anastasia Snape are going to be fun. I laughed when Jacob transformed out of his animagus form to stand butt naked before Hermione. What a way to meet her father-in-law! Hoot!And I suppose the Russian Family Estate that they will be staying in for the summer comes from Anastasia's side of the family.I like have Severus' family being part of the story. We don't often see his family portrayed as anyone other than as a Muggle father and his mother as a pureblood who went against her family's wishes. And both of them are often seen as unhappy people. I think I'm going to enjoy this set of Snape parents.Well done!Beth

Thanks! Unfortunatly, this story was started even before book 5 was released so I didn't have an inkling that Severus came from anything but a happy home. I thought he was a spoiled rich kid that rebelled against the trappings of his family :D See how much I know...
Well, I like the old codger, and I'm not talking about Severus. It was funny how embarrassed Severus was by his Dad. I guess we all get that way about our families, don't we?
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Hee. Poor Severus gets knocked down a peg by dear old dad...
Sev's parents sound like fun. At least they can cope with her Muggle background.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
They've got a lot of hope invested in Hermione making something of Severus. Hee.
You've pictured a very considerate Snape, and the relationship develops in small, measured steps. Not all is so canon (since you atarted long ago, I presume) but it is a relaxing and amusing read.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Thanks!
Lovely story. I enjoyed reading about the in-laws.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Thanks! You'll be seeing more of them!
It looks like Hermione has some new allies.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Hee Hee. Yea. Her inlaws are funny
Jacob and Anastasia seem to be very funny people. I'd love to get to know them better.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
I like them a lot :D
Was grinning all the way through this chappie.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Hee hee! Parents can be funny.
love severus' parents! i'm looking forward to learning more about them. plus, the parents' meeting should be amusing. thanks so much for the terrific update.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
thanks!
Siimply charming. Severus' father putting him in his place was hillarious. I can't wait to see more of the Snape family. Though, I'd rather not even think of having my father-in-law naked...
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
I know, right? And don't worry! You'll be seeing plenty more of the Snapes.
well, i like this very much, so far. keep up the good work! i'm excited for st. petersburg. 
update soooon! -cc
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Thanks! Next chapter is already in the queue!
What an entrance. Hermione seemed to keep Severus in line. In fact Hermione and Severus appear to get along quite companionably.
Response from teshara (Author of The Marriage Law)
Poor guy. He was resigned to have at least a cordial working relationship when he volunteered to petition for her. (He heard about the Mundungus idea and put his foot down.) He's finding her company quite pleasant when she isn't around Ron and Harry...
