A marriage law has been passed forcing less-than-pureblood witches and wizards to marry purebloods. The pureblood they are assigned to is almost solely based on bribes. Thanks to an extraordinarily short window of time to marry someone else, Charlie marries Hermione to save her from a Death Eater. But Charlie has secrets he's been hiding from his family and he's not ready to share them with a wife either. Will Hermione be able to figure out what's going on with Charlie and help him? Will Charlie let her? Meanwhile, will they survive the death threats from Theodore Nott, Senior as he tries to reclaim the mudblood he paid for?
