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.)

Summary
All Hermione Granger had wanted was to finish her education and hide from the Ministry’s “Beings” Registration. That, and avoid discovery and persecution for the pile of Death Eaters and Snatchers she’d left behind while on the run. She honestly hadn’t meant to kill them, but Harry had needed to be protected at all costs, and a girl had to eat. However, what she had not counted on when returning to Hogwarts, was that the school’s territory had already been claimed by another apex predator.
Or the one where Hermione Granger is a succubus who accidentally kills when she feeds, and Severus Snape is a vampire who can’t die.
