Arranged Marriage, Severus Snape x OC. The Evergreen's are summoned by the Dark Lord after making an escape to France after a number of years. Though no longer Death Eaters they must remain loyal or at least appear so lest they wish to meet a brutal end. To their horror, Voldemort shows interest in Elizabeth, their daughter. To stop him from taking it any further they seek out renowned Death Eater Severus Snape to marry and protect her. He is reluctant but once coerced he has no choice but agree. Elizabeth tries to make the best of the situation knowing the alternative would be much worse but Severus makes it difficult. He is brusque and dismissive of her, never giving her a chance to get to know him. She finds him interesting and mysterious but he sees her only as an inconvenience. Will he let his walls down and allow her in or will it be a miserable marriage born only out of convenience?
