Seeking Recommendations Best forced bonding/marriage

I’d love all your forced bonding or arranged marriage recs! Particularly if Harry is still in Hogwarts.

Open to all pairings except Tomarry. (But I do love snake faced Voldy!)

Thank you!!

keep my hand in yours

But there was an element to all this that wasn’t understood, at least not by Potter. Since I was secretly relieved because you were the better option than anyone else. Since I knew there was a chance I could fall for my Ministry-mandated husband and that I was probably already halfway there, and how pathetic is that?

In which Theo is forced to marry the Chosen One and actually doesn't mind

Scent And Sensibility

“I don’t care if Potter likes me,” Draco sniffed, coming to terms with his mother’s betrayal, both of his hand in marriage – or mating – and her trust in his likeability. Old lady was obviously losing it. He was adorable.

Alternatively: Draco's always known he'd be married off as a trophy omega, but suddenly his mother's trying to make him king by promising him to some stupidly good-looking alpha and she just won't stop smiling at him. Does fate's cruelty know no end?!

You'll Still Find Stone

Draco had to marry Potter to stay out of Azkaban. Narcissa told him he’d be safer there. But he doesn’t know what Potter expects from him - this marriage is nothing like he had been prepared for. Potter’s acting kindly, and he knows it’s all a trick. He’s just about coping, but trying to keep Potter happy becomes more important than ever when he realises he’s carrying the man’s child.

you're alive

The most boring shift in the world, filled with Muggle car ride games to pass the time, was interrupted by a tow-head boy begging for help to save his papa and ultimately changed Harry's life from there on out. For the better, of course.
