Hello! I'm returning from the dead and I'm tossing out another idea with the hope that there still are some Harry Potter fans left here.
I'm looking for someone that'll write well, keep things interesting, post on an average 3-4 times a week and will be happy to plot together!
Toss me your ideas and I'll toss you mine. If you want an example of my writing, I'll send you one or two.
Nothing in the written plot below is etched in stone, I'm willing to change everything to make it more appealing to you.
I'm looking for someone that will play either Granger or Malfoy in this story - I'll let my partner pick first and then I'll adapt afterwards.
Feel free to shoot me a PM or comment down below.
ORIGINALLY POSTED ON E. I want this to be off-site, meaning I want this to be conducted through e-mail preferably.

Title: Bound by Law
Genre: Modern – Fandom – Harry Potter Alternative Universe
Specific elements: Arranged marriage, romance-but-not-really-romance
Pairing: Draco Malfoy & Hermione Granger
Inspiration: Basic idea comes from the fanficition “A Dowry of a Single Galleon” by Bunney on ArchiveOfOurOne, but I’ve made some tweaks and added my own ideas to it. Still, credit goes to Bunney.
Available: YES


An absurd Marriage Law has been enacted by the Ministry in order to hopefully wash away any class- and ethnic issues within the world of magic. Purebloods are being forced to choose a Muggle-born spouse and for all those concerned, they have until their 21[sup]st[/sup] birthday to find the love of their life or the Ministry will find them a suitable partner instead. All those who take a stand against the new law and ignore the responsibilities are banned from practicing magic forever.

Draco Malfoy, still deeply scared by the events from the war, is one of those few who unconsciously ignore the Ministry’s request. Six months after his 21[sup]st[/sup] birthday, a letter arrives by an unusual owl to the Malfoy manor containing the name of his spouse, a time and date for a shared meeting with her and the Ministry.

Finding himself a little less sane day in and day out within the Malfoy manor after years of isolation, he has taken a small step toward redemption. Hogwarts is yet again a savoring place for the young witches and wizards, and he has been able to bury the memories bound to the place to such degree that he has taken over Rolanda Hooach’s class of flying. He teaches the fine arts of Quidditch to first grade students, and is the main referee during any game on Hogwarts.

Hermione Granger turns 21 in the beginning of what seems like a beautiful fall, and is still without a ring on her finger. The hardship she went through with Harry and Ron still lives on after all these years, and what bond she had formed with the Weasely man in the heat of battle had crumbled abruptly and painfully a year after their victory. Unable to find love again and exhausted from trying, she allows fate to deal with her accordingly as her birthday comes and goes. Her little piece of heaven is her profession as a healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Four months after her birthday and just in time for Christmas a letter arrives with an unusual owl, carrying the specifics of her spouse and the time and date of the meeting.

As neither of them wish to abandon their life of magic and the professions that keep them a little bit more sane, they both attend the meeting and sign the approving contract made by the Ministry. All too soon – within a year’s time – they have to have married, and what follows is a long band of heated fights regarding the wedding, awkward family meetings and much more…

Hey you! I must say it's an interesting twist. Being an avid Harry & Hermione shipper, I still find myself intrigued by the plot. Most Draco & Hermione plots are strained and don't show much promise but this twist surely refreshes things! Anyone lurking, he's a good RPer, you should totally sign up. If you don't find anyone interesting, I wouldn't mind trying this (despite my heart's yearning) as Draco or Hermione. At any rate, thought I'd give you up a bit of a bump!
