"I'm up I'm up." Hermione got out of bed feeling extremely bad. She had not slept at

all the previous night. She had been way to busy attempting to ignore the butterflies in her stomach, which had started flying about because of her first day at work.

She walked down the stairs to her kitchen and found a note on her table. Odd. The only people she talked to much these days were too lazy to even get out of bed. How would they write her a letter?

With the idea of Harry and Ron actually getting out of bed by themselves amused her. She was still chuckling at her wit when she opened the letter. A few seconds later, Hermione Granger froze.

Dear Ms. Granger

The Ministry of Magic has enforced a new law to save our world after the many tragic deaths after the war

We now require people who are unmarried and single to get married within the next year

If you have not picked your suitor in the next 8 months and RSVP'd back to us we will have to pick for you

We apologize for the inconvenience

Sincerely,

Dolores Umbridge

The letter fell to the floor and Hermione stood there in shock. Married? She hadn't even started work! She had just finished school a few years ago! For Merlins sakes, she was only 20! And they wanted her to get MARRIED? She hadn't been with anyone since her tragic breakup with Ron the year before. She had been sure that that relationship was going to last forever.

What was she going to do?

Who was she going to marry?

More importantly, who would marry her?
