Once Dumbledore defeats Voldemort and binds him for transfer to Azkaban, the Ministry decides that is not enough. The Minister of Magic, Pius Thicknesse, performs an archaic marriage ritual that binds the husband as much as the wife. The only candidates are women who are powerful and virginal. Unfortunately, Hermione draws the short straw.
Totally loved this until the last quarter and it got weird. I wish the writer stuck with the main villain and it was more flushed out. The twist was annoying. Kinda wish it was more about Hermione wanting vengeance. Plus I have a soft spot for morally grey Tom and Hermione. Wish the story just stuck with that.
