Hermione, Ginny and Luna, sharing a girl moment, decide to cast a Pairing-Plight Troth Charm on themselves for fun. Each placed in the cauldron one yesterday-today-and-tomorrow flower with sugar and spice and everything nice, and a snip, a snail and puppy-dog tail as they each said the rhyme. For Ginny, the results are exactly what she expected, and for Luna, she was only mildly surprised. However, for Hermione, the results were disastrous! She thought she’d be paired to Ron and live happily ever after. So what happened and why is she seeing Professor Snape in her dreams? He’s dead – isn’t he?

I love to write. A dreamer, a creator and filled with wonder, imagination and life. Sometimes I get lost in the other worlds I've read and in some I create. It's all good, I’m in good company.

Poor Ron. *giggle*

I know. Thank you for reading and for the review.
Hmm I honestly thought Hermione in the last chapter was a polyjuiced DE by how much of a bitch she was being to Draco (after their amiable interaction at the MoM). I guess she was just 
PMSing a bit. Really enjoying Severus working with the Aurors.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
We all have our moments, and these two have a long history, even though he was amiable that time.I'm glad that you like Severus helping out. Who better?Thank you for reading and for the review.
Mmmm, more meaty chapter. I do have to say when Narcissa told Lucius it was over, I seemed to have gotten something in my eyes darn it.Great chapter!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Thank you. Glad you liekd t it.I'm glad that her good news worked. Its been tough on them Thank you for reading and for the review.
I've read this story previously but it had been a while & I saw a recent update so I figured my swiss cheese memory could use a refresher.You know, I enjoy the romance and all but I REALLY like when more meat is added to the story to the tune of a mystery or some such. Thanks for such a meaty chapter!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
I do that too, go back a read a few when its a long wait between chapters. Sorry for the wait. I'm glad that you enjoyed the new chapter. Thank you for reading and for the review.
Another fantastic update, I loved it. I especially enjoyed how Maggie lost her dear registries, excellently plotted:-))
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Thank you very much. Yep, curtailed at work. I'm glad you liked that and how devestating it was for Maggie. Thank you for reading and for the review.
Fabulous story!!! Check your email. Beth

Thank you very much. I did, , and thank you so much. You're such a sweetie, and I appreciate you so much. Thank you for the review, and hope your having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
I love the wand lore! I am very glad Severus figured out what was going on with his wand and was able to fix it. Of course he couldn't leave that undone. It wouldn't be Snapish at all. Olivander is an amazing character. I love him. He is mysterious and powerful in a rather passive way. He's a bit scary. In a good way. The actor who plays him makes him marvelous. I'd like more with Olivander. I was glad Hermione's visit tickled Severus. What he was up to I have no idea. Why the game? I'm too straight forward to guess why he would want to know what Hermione would do if she thought he was weakened. He doesn't seem like the type to seek sympathy. Was is a test? Is just wanting to keep her off kilter all the time? Is he planing to surprise her? I'm enjoying your story so well, but I'm getting to bed late. It's so hard to stop reading. I hope I don't catch up to you. Huggs and Kisses for sharing your mind with me/us your gentle readers. What would I do without SS/HG fanfiction?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Don’t you, it’s soo kewl how wands work and with what little Ollivander gave us in DH we have so much to play with in regards to them. No way would he allow his first wand, the one Severus has the strongest (or had) affinity with to be controlled by another. It’s his. His wand. Ollivander is a bit scary, and fun and he’s charming, all while reading you so intimately it’s frightening. He can with only a few trade tricks know your innermost ability, flexibility, magical strengths and basic nature. I often wondered if he knew about Tom Riddle, what he’d become, when he came for his first wand? Hermione’s visit showed Severus that she cared. He wanted to know how deeply – was her efforts only because she hated to others suffer or due to sympathy alone, or did she honestly have deeper feelings for him. Being a Slytherin, cunning, intelligent, he was looking for signs that her feeling ran deeper, truer. He’s not as open about his feelings as she is, he expressing things differently, in subtle text. So, unlike those who bare all, you have to look under the surface to see what he’s feeling/thinking at times (unless he chooses to openly show it). He wasn’t only seeking sympathy, he was testing her to see her reactions. Without this outlet, I’d still write and draw, but only for my own amusement. And I wouldn’t have met so many wonderful people like yourself, and others who keep in touch with me in the fanfic world. (oh, I have 61 and 62 back from FrankQ! You know what that means! I’ve… well, TPP is behind the other places I post in chapters. It takes longer to post here.) Thank you for reading and for the review.
I loved the wedding!!! How wonderful and sweet!!!! I wish Severus could have seen it. I'm sure it would have touched him. I wonder if Hermione was thinking about her own wedding and if Severus would want to have one. He'd say they didn't need one. I am so grateful Hermione was able to heal Severus. That kind of risk and discovery only the young can make because they don't know enough to be afraid yet. It's the same reason people should have children while young. No one is more neurotic than an over 30 1st time mom. Trust me on this. I do it all day long every single day and have for 26 years. Luna will be a wonderful mother. Hermione shouldn't have kids. Yes, I am being rather inflexible. I just know these things. Hermione will love her children, but would not be happier because she's a mom. She will not trust her instincts but will try to raise them by the book and children seldom fit the book. Severus might be the other way around though. I don't mean he'll trust his instincts, because he'll be a total pushover if he has a girl. But he will be in love with his children, maybe even too protective. Men may take longer to fall in love, but when they do, they fall harder than women. Men don't really raise the children, either. Not even stay at home dads. They might ruin them by being a bad influence, but mom is the real boss no matter what anyone says on the outside. If dad does the raising it is because mom has ordained it to be so because she has "better/other" things to do with her time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Women are stronger than men, too. That's why we usually marry someone older rather than younger than we are. Of course, this is all just my opinion, but can you imagine Hermione marrying Severus with them both in their 30's at the same time? His age and life experience is the only thing he has that gives him any advantage in this relationship. She would eventually despise and become bored with a weak or submissive husband. She is too strong and too intelligent for most men. We really need someone smarter than we are to be happy. I really believe that. I suppose I would be wrong if happiness is being an enabler. I can't imagine being a happy enabler. Only a miserable one. I've learned that some people get some satisfaction that I don't understand from being taken advantage of or being a martyr. I can't comprehend it though. Those people won't even let themselves be too happy, it would ruin their life. They cling to their bad choices as badges of courage. It makes me want to poke my f-ing eye out! There isn't anyone in this story like that. If they were, their secret would be exposed and you wouldn't have as much sympathy for their dreadful situation. Maybe Severus' mom was one of those people. Back to your wonderful story, though. I think that no one in the story is more likely to have a happy life than Luna and Neville. Everyone has trials. But not everyone is brought low by them. I wish I was more like Luna and much less like Hermione. I take everything too seriously. The older I get, the less faith I have. Luna will never have to worry about that. She will always believe the best. She will be Neville's rock and he will worship her.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
I’m delighted that you enjoyed the weeding. Part Jewish and Irish –semi-Catholic, with all the Irish superstitions was so much fun to try and blend together. I think you’re right about Severus not thinking a wedding necessary at this time. It was important for her to snap into action and try to save him, if only to cement in her mind that she doesn’t want him to die ( and that will help her realize that she loves him). I do believe that Luna will be a good mother, but nope, no preggers yet. Finish school first – then kiddies… I think in her own way Hermione coud be a good mother, and yes, I think you’re right about Severus as a father, especially if he had a daughter. You think Severus is a weak or submissive husband – he’s a ‘pick your battles’ and ‘use your wiles and wit’ husband, but he has his dominance too. He likes to control, hold people to the rules, keep your agreements, and keep things/students in line with a firm hand. How is that submissive? He’s been pretty controlling so far… except Hermione isn’t allowing him to roughshod her anymore. I think I agree with your assessment of Luna’s and Neville’s relationship. Very good point. Thank you for reading and for the review.
Lovely ending to the evening! I enjoyed the details of the dinner. It is too bad that the Weaselys haven't been given proper etiquette lessons. Maybe Ginny and Harry should ask Gran for lessons to avoid future embarrassment. All of us deserve to be taught how to behave in a formal gathering. My parents were careful to make sure I had proper training in social graces even though we were poor. I had no idea we were poor until I was a grown up. We simply couldn't afford it. What ever "it" was. My husband was poor and knew it. His family allowed them to feel sorry for themselves. I was never given any indication that I had anything to feel sorry for myself about. Good manners had nothing to do with money. I was told, "There are Oakies and Okies!" I believe they were alluding to what we might refer to as 'white trash'. We were expected to have proper manners at every meal. The worse sin was that of laziness. Being lazy was worse than murder in my family. I was floored to find out that, "I can't do anything about it" was even a notion people had. At first I accused my husband of being stupid on purpose. Then, one day during an argument I had an awful epiphany. It was that, what I had thought were universal truths of life, weren't apparently universal after all, and he really was that stupid. I am very disappointed that my own daughters haven't been diligent yet with their own children even though they are only 2 and 5 years old. The girls don't even feed them at a proper table or on a proper schedule. They sit in front of the television on the floor. They walk around, play and come back to the meal. I hate it. They weren't raised that way at all. With much of the other behaviors that they weren't raised with, I often wonder if they are changelings. I have asked them several times where the "Jerry Springer" gene they exhibit came from. I have assured them it is not from my side of the family. Maybe it is society, or maybe I'm just a curmudgeonly old person who thinks all young people behave improperly. Or...maybe ...they are changelings.
I am certainly feeling curmudgeonly at the moment. It isn't my husband's fault he can't do anything about it. It is...it is...stupid. And I'm being mean.

, I’m delighted that you enjoyed the dinner. 
I’m sure that at some point Ron was taught basic manners, but the Weasely’s are not part of the wizarding upper caste social elite. They are commoners, even though they are pure-bloods. But I bet that Molly scolds 
for ‘elbows on the table’ and 
‘say please’ 
and 'don't talk with your mouth full' and that sort I’m sure. Like my parents did. Harry I’m sure was given strict, ‘be seen not heard’ manner lessons, as well as ‘don’t embarrass me’ ones. All in all, even in the Great Hall his table manners are passable. (Ron’s the one who talks with his mouth full. 
) Ginny likewise seems to have a of more of a clue than Ron. 
And Harry will always be forgiven little indiscretions since he’s ‘the savior of the wizarding world’. 
You can bet that Luna has been taken into hand by Gran, and if Ginny and Luna have tea at Gran’s, Gran will make subtle innuendos and slightly exaggerated example maneuvers to show Ginny what’s expected. (My grandmother did that when I was young.) 
How great your family was to teach you to be appreciative of what you have and to be proud of yourself and family like that. Respect, manners and productivity are very respectable things to teach children. My grandmother used to say "There are Oakies and Okies!" too. lol Gads, the Jerry Springer gene? That’s hilarious! 
You can sit your daughters down and tell them point blank that they had best teach your granddaughters proper manners, especially at the table, or you’ll cut them off. And if they come over, you expect proper table manners or you’ll remove their plate. (But then you have to DO it.) Age of girls is not, in my book, an excuse – but then, they will baulk. Good luck with that. At lest Severus doesn’t have the JerrySpringer gene!
Thank you for reading and for the review.
Another great chapter. I am really happy for Severus that his efforts to get closer to Hermione seem to be well recieved. He still is learning who she is and this chapter was a good picture for him of her true character. I am glad his admiration for her is increasing as he gets to know her better. I am glad to see them being more respectful and less angry in their interactions. I am surprised that Hermione isn't more touched by the little bits of affection he shows her. She is young and used to being well loved. She doesn't seem to know that Severus Snape doesn't go around impulsively stroking women's hair. He doesn't make a habit of touching other people at all. He certainly doesn't ask other people to please spend time with him. I'm glad she is standing her ground. It is necessary, but she isn't as impressed as I am with what it must cost a man like Severus to negotiate with her about when she has time for him. My own father is a big fat baby when it comes to my mother's attention, as if he doesn't see her every day. My mother would never, ever turn him down for a dinner or lunch date even if she did have something she would rather be doing. He can't bear to be without her. It's so smothering! I'm over it now, but it took me 30 years. It's my mom's choice. I don't feel as protective of her the way I did as a teenager about him being so controlling. She stays around for it. She must get something out of it. Hermione has been a lucky lass and doesn't see her true fortune. She has nothing horrible to compare to. My mom married two men that would have killed me dead. But they would have had to be fast before I killed them first. Someday I think she will have more appreciation for what it costs him to humble himself and treat her like an equal. It's only right that he does, but it's dearer because it comes at such cost to his pride.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
wow I'm really impressed by your insights. Yes, it's 'cost' Severus to put himslef out there, but in real time, Hermione is still recuperating form the abusive side of his nature. In time she'll relent, but sometimes actions of the past are harder to simply let go of. I think she's noticing the 'little touches' and the way he's trying. She hasn't shut him out. But that said, unlike your mom, she wants a life and to keep her friendships with her friends. it's a tough give and take with a needy man - although Seveurs would kill me if I labeled him as a that. But it's inportant that she stand her ground. This all started in June - the spell and Harry's birthday party was on July 31-August 1, so yes, they are still finding their ways around each other and trying to sort out how things will be. But she's spending time with him. Two steps forward, two steps back for mistaken remarks and not subtle actions, and even a few quirks. It will work out, but these two are stubborn and gave me a run for the money trying to get them in sync iwth each other. Heck, even Lucius had to intervine!I hope you enjoy what comes next. and remember, I've written her as an 18 year old book smart kid who hasn't the dating experience or the how to handle brothers experience that Ginny's had. Books and cleverness doens't make one street smart(as I've usually seen Ron in canon - he knows a lot about the magical world) In time she'll mature and face up, but it will take a brick. Thank you for reading and for the review, bl.
Excellent chapter! Very interesting background plot! I was very sick with the flu for a week and didn't even get out of bed to read on the computer. But I am recovered and glad to be back to the story. Unfortunately, I was written up at work for calling in sick, so I am also back for the solice you offer in the ebb and flow of real life. Hermione's life sucks and so does mine. But, ...she has magic! Alas...
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Oh sweetie, I can so commiserate in the write up thing, but to call you out for being sick? Well, my job requires a doctor’s note if you’re out for 3 or more days. So> shrug. I’m so glad you are feeling better. But if it happens again, go in and sneeze on them. lol kidding.
I’m really glad you are enjoying the story and the plots. And hopefully, I can get another chapter out to share soon. Hugs, and best wishes to you. Thank you for the review.
Whew! It's taken a while, but I think Hermoine and Severus are finally learning how to communicate–and how to read each other.I shudder to think how horribly things could have turned out if Severus hadn't found Hermione and her friends before the four thugs had made their way to Spinners End. Given that Harry and Severus had captured Moellers and Struthers, and Ron and Cho got Walsingham... could the one that got away by the river be Wallace Avery? Or even Dragen himself?Beth
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Finally learning to, but still have a bit to go. Yes, it's good Severus had security measoures in place. You'll find out who the Death Eater was who got away when Severus finds out, or Harry... When I strated on the story, I had a list of ebil wizards that I crossed off one by one, but as happens in RL there were discoveries of ebil supporters on the way and ones that seemed to show true colors the more rogue Death Eaters were caught. But yes, 4 more down. Thank you for reading and for the review.
Hermione could ask him questions about magic and potions to warm him up before asking the silly kinds of questions she was peppering him with at dinner. She sounds so young. Well, she is young. If he had asked her what she had done at work I bet they could have gotten off on an interesting magical conversation. Another sign of youth is her thinking that like her, everyone must have happy memories from childhood and that he's being purposely secretive. I have a close family member who would never discussed their abusive childhood until they were about to die and I guess wanted someone to know or wanted me to know more about their life before it was too late. I had asked many years before, but even as a 10 year old could tell the subject was off bounds and didn't ask again even if I wondered why they wouldn't want to tell me. Hermione is being remarkably careless about her safety. With Aurors around her in Diagon Alley and the boys all escorting her home, ...and oh a couple of recent attempts on her life by death eaters. For crying out loud. They both tried harder tonight and I appreciate that. I'm glad she has finally resigned herself to the fact that 'work it out' is her only option. Sorry for the rant last night. As you may have noticed my kids really stress me out. I'll be 53 tomorrow and really didn't imagine I'd still have adult children to take care of. I had so many plans for my life after children. I kept thinking someday I'll get to have my turn. Well, it's someday and it still isn't my turn, isn't likely to be my turn any time soon without a miracle and I'm getting too tired to do what I had planned to start in my early 40's when my kids would have supposedly been grown ups. It's funny. I remember in my high school psychology class there being a section on empty nest syndrome and woman becoming dependent on drugs and alcohol because of depression after their kids left home because that was all they had lived for. I promised myself that would never be me. And now they probably have to teach a part in class about parents with unmet goals and dreams because their kids can't leave home. Reading SS/HG romances is my escape from reality. I really appreciate you answering all my questions. It gives me a thrill to hear from you. I will take you up on the Alpha reading too.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Harry never confided in Hermione about what he saw about Severus' childhood, besides it was one small incident, not a montage of images that bespoke of child abuse. It could have been better to ask about magic and potions, but she wants to get to know him, something about him, personal stuff a wife would/should know.Yes, she's cavilier about her surroundings, but again, there are poeple she trusts around her, and the war is over. She's wanting to ahve normal and it's finally starting to sink in that there is no normal, safety is realtive and they are still targets. If the Weasley's, Harry and friends had been more honest with her, being more upfront about the Auror preance and the death threats... I saw a moive that I highly recommend, 24 , Jckie Robinson recieved tons of death threats that his baseball managers and the ball owner kept quiet so he'd focus on the game.... Thing is, Those CLose To Her Kept It Quiet - until they realized she needed to know. Hermione is not part of the 'protection detail' she opted not to be an Auror, or go into Auror training -(not seen) Ginny knows because she's still at the Burrow and her father would/could still be mentioning raids. Harry comes home covered in ___ and blood time to time...Hermione has been living at Grimmauld Place where the protection spells have been re-enhanced, and under Harry's (and the Ministry's and Order's) proptective eye. When you have the cops protect you from a stalker - they don't always tell you what they are doing, (from experience here) they are watching, hoping to catch the guy in action, so you're home, a target. Now imagine if the cops know you're a target, but they are watching, sitting on stakeout and waiting - you may know the one the bad guy is out there or not.It will sink in hard for Hermione. and her friends have willl realize that they have to tell her. Yep, Hermoine has realized that 'work it out is the only option. but 'be a sex toy' is not and 'be his berating bag' is not. She will put her foot down and want respect. this is going to open more doors for confrontation and discord because who wants sex without love in a marriage. 53 - Happy Birthday!I past my 40 realizing I wasn't going to have my childhood dreams either. I hit 49 and realized I wasn't going to have the kids/dog/house deam. it's never easy. I got so mad at God, thinking he'd said no to everything I wanted, still do, and spent many nights crying over it. Even going to church and seeing all those happy families, smiling faces hurt - so I stopped going. But I'm turning 51 this July and I admit, I'll resolved to my life and find happiness now. Funny, writing Potterverse romances are my outlet as well. Sharing them and meeting lovely people like yourself is the reward. ANd you're not alone with the 'kids didn't grow up and leave' life. There are many familes that have that as the case.You're not alone. Have heart, sweetie. Thank you for sharing such a private thoughts with me, and for sticking to this story, I appreciate the review and will send you a chapter or two to check over. Thank you for the offer.
Absolutely loved this update, I am so happy Severus and Hermione actually talked and listened in stead of yelling and assuming. Very well done:-))
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Thank you very much. Yep, they're learning to communicate! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you for reading and for the review.
I'm glad Severus and Hermione worked through their misunderstanding. They just have to adjust to accommodate someone else into their ways of thinking. It's not easy to cohabit, but they're off to a good start.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
You are so right. They have to learn to sit down and talk, to communicate what they want and they are getting better at it. somewhat. It will take time and adjustment. Thank you for reading and for the review.

This is such an interesting chapter! Winged horses, lovely and exotic flowers, gemstones... lots of things to learn about. I always have lots of topics from your stories that I have to search out. It's a real education!!!I'm so happy that Hermione and Severus had such a good time at Malfoy Manor. She got to see a very pleasant side of wizarding society, and they got to know her better, too. After thinking about Severus' and Lucius' conversation at the end of the chapter, I think there is likely to be more "crook-catching" in the not too distant future. Thank you for this wonderful chapter, bea. I can't wait to see what our couple gets up to next.Beth

Beth, I'm delighted that you enjoyed the chapter and I love that you are looking these things up.Yes, finally they are and yes, it's good that she's having such a good time, and yes, she got to see these people in a much better light. Yes, there are still baddies out there, but not that many left. (I have a list of the Death Eaters and supporters, and I'm checking them off as we go along.)You are most welcome for the chapter. Thank you for reading and for the review. Hugs~

I love the whole scene with Severus unconventional proposal and her unconventional response. You wouldn't expect anything typical from these two.What a nice thing Harry and Ginny have done, giving their house to the Weasleys. They deserve a bigger, nicer home, and it is even better that their kids were in on it and helped with repairs. I can imagine with that many kids there will always be someone home.And Kreacher ... it hadn't occured to me that if they left he would be torn between serving his master and his house. At least the Weasleys are purebloods, so if he decides to stay it won't be quite as difficult for him to bear, lol.“She didn’t say yes,” George shouted over his family. “Yes she did,” Ron snapped back, shaking Harry’s hand. “Squealing like a stuck pig is not a yes,” George stated. “I quite agree,” Severus said. “But then, there is something about this house and a woman’s inability to answer properly.”
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Well, I wanted something maybe not seen before. I'm glad that you liked it. Since I showed Harry searching for his parent's house, and we all know it'd be passed down to him anyway, and in canon we know that Sirius had a house - ergo Now Harry owns 3! So what better way to repay the Weasley's for everything, and for being his family than this! And I remember Fred and George's comments to their mum about 'being in the family'... so thought this was a nice way to give back - Have all the boys and Ginny pitch in. Yes, poor Kreacher. I may take a poll to see what way to hav ehim decide to go. I may also have a 'new house-elf appear, a son/daughter of Kreacher who will 'train' to take over when Kreacher passes, since this 'obligation passes down to their offspring... dunno yet. But I'll be fair to Kreacher, I promise.Thank you for reading and for the review. =:-)

Who could have sent that package to Ginny? It is certainly concerning, although she has some really powerful and talented folks in her corner to protect her. And, she seemed to keep her head in the middle of things as well.Ron's date ... *shakes head* ... I am feeling a bit sad for him as well.I love that Ginny followed Severus outside to talk some sense into him. I don't suspect he lets many people give him hell for things, so she should count herself lucky.“D-do you want kids?” “Not tonight,” he said as his hand slid down to her knickers. “I’d rather you give me a book.”*dies laughing*

Unfortunately, I started with a list of Death Eaters and supporters, (although I've added a few supporters in this last chapter) that I've been crossing off as we go along. There are only a few left being led by Dragen Dolohov and any one of them could have. Yes, I know, but she was funny. Yes, once agian Ginny is proving to be a valuable friend to both of the Snapes.You liked that - I'm glad.Thank you for reading and for the review.=:-)

I'm glad Hermione's bag was able to be saved. It really does come in handy. And I like the Prince Christmas where the head of house makes a point of asking when they will marry, and shoving children's books at Severus. And Severus is being very polite, biding his time at the Potters for his wife's sake. Off to the Longbottoms? She may just end up owing him, lol.

Of course it can be saved, it just needed a little TLC. You liked Talfryn's direct nudge? The books also have personal significance for Severus as well. Yes, Severus is on his best behavior at the Potters, course it helps that he's been working with both Harry and Ron while helping the Aurors, and with Harry's new respect for Severus, they are getting on better. Yep, off to the Longbottoms, and you may be right.Thank you for reading and for the review.

Hermione's holiday is certainly turning out better than she expected. Each chapter is well worth the wait.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
Yes, it certainly is. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and I'm sorry for the wait. I'm trying to do better about that. Thank you for sticking with me and for the review.

I love seeing them becoming so close. And if the girls can see he's in love he really is softening.

I'm glad. These girls watched him for 7 years, and had even seen him rebuff a infatuation or two. But yes, it's showing. (Shhh don't tell him that)Thank you for reading and for the review.

It's rather humorous watching Hermione's reactions to being further immersed into Pure-blood society. She's having quite a few of her preconceived ideas turned on their head. That same society is also learning the same about her in return.
It's interesting to watch Severus and Lucius continue to deal with the DE & sympathisers cleanup process. No one can really enjoy this brave new world until it's accomplished, but the wizarding world in general seems to be blind to the situation.
I'm truly glad to see Hermione trying now and settling into a real relationship with Severus. They both deserve some stability.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Plight-Trothed Bride)
I'm glad you are enjoying the social parties and Hermione's introductions. Yep, she's learning that not all pure-bloods are bad, but they do live in their own sheltered world. Not all of the wizarding society is blind to what's going on, but the targets of the Deather Eater renagades and the supporters are focused on hiding, and specific targets. Dragen wants to destroy Severus and his happiness, and that neams killing Hermione. But she's normally safely tucked away in Hogwarts.Yep, she's settling in and it's going well. Thank you for reading and for the review.
