Summary
Hermione reaches out to the mysterious owner of Silverleaf Apothecary for help when she realizes a deadly, magic-stealing pandemic is upon the Wizarding world. Severus Snape disappeared from Wizarding society fourteen years ago after he'd recovered from his injuries. Now Hermione is trying to drag him back into it. He agrees to assist, but only if she quarantines at his home while they work on the project together. As they discover ways to treat the illness, Snape realizes he might not be so solitary, and Hermione gets to know the man behind her former professor.

Summary
The grindylows of the Black Lake had long been fascinated with Severus Snape, watching his life play out through the windows of his dungeon chambers. They had seen the pain and loneliness that plagued him for years, but when they see him one evening with a very naked, bushy-haired witch in his room, they understand that Severus’ life is about to change dramatically. When the little beasts recognize Hermione as the witch who was stolen from them years ago, they realize that Severus’ feelings will transform their lives as well.

Summary
My twist on the marriage laws.
Severus Snape survived Nagini, barely, only to learn that the Ministry will be sending all Death Eaters to Azkaban. Hermione Granger comes up with a drastic plan to save him: if Kingsley will let Severus go, Hermione will become the poster child for the Ministry's marriage initiatives.
It's a marriage of convenience that becomes a soft, slow burn romance.
(Fully finished.)
