I dont own anything it all belongs to J.K Rowling, characters and all.
The platform looked like normal. Young Witches and Wizards saying their farwells to their familys, and some familiar faces. Hermione Granger looked at her friends that where still alive and well, returning to properly complete thier 7th year after the war.
Hermione looked around the platform to see Ron, Harry, Malfoy, Neville, Luna, Ginny and many other familiar faces. She walked over to her two best friends who looked annoyed and angry.
" Hey what's up"
"Everythings up"
"The aurour department said we had to come back to school and complete our seventh year properly and take part in the new law that they have placed... They never told us the law though."
"Oh im sorry... I didn't know"
"Its ok... We have next year"
"At least this year shall be normal"
"Yeah that should be interesting, somthing new eh..."
The trio laughed as they got onto the train. The train arrived at hogwarts when it was dark, it had taken most of the day to travel there when they could have just apperarated into hogsmead and took the thestral pulled carts to the castle.
Everyone was filling into the great hall to watch the sorting ceremony as normal. Fewer wizarding children were coming to hogwarts as around 60% of the population had been wiped out during the war.
" Griffindoor"
"Hufflepuff"
"Ravenclaw"
"Slytherin"
The 1st years had been sorted and the head mistress stood up in the place Dumbledore and Snape stood before her.
" Before you all retreat to your Dormitorys can everyone leave apart from the 7th years, we have a ministry official here to talk to you." McGonagal spoke.
"Must be the new law you were talking about."
"Yeah probably"
The lower years filled out of the Hall leaving only the 7th years behind.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I understand that everyone is going through an awful lot of sorrow and loss at the moment, but the ministry has to act... now. We have introduced a new marrige law that will be obbayed by magical unmarried citizens ages 17-30. As you hear me, all of you sitting in front of me fall under the criteria. You will receive a letter saying who you have been matched with any minute now." Delores Umbridge said.
"You cant do that"
"Im afraid we can Miss Granger."
At that moment a very official letter landed right infront of Hermione.
Dear Hermione Granger,
The ministry has introduced a new law that has to be obbayed by you, as you are under the age criteria. We have used what power we have to see who you would be perfectly matched up with. If you refuse to marry, consequences could be terrible. Im sorry if there is any inconvenience but this had to be done.
Match- Mr Draco Malfoy.
Yours sincerely, Ministry of magic.
P.S- You have 1 year to get married followed by another year to have at least one child.
Hermione read over her ketter and looked over at Malfoy before passing out on the spot.
" Ron look at her letter, I'll see if she's alright."
"Harry... Your not going to like this"
"Hermione, wake up... How who'd she get?"
"D-D-Draco Malfoy"
"WHAT????" Harry shouted. "She's not marrying him!"
"Is she alright?" a calm voice came from beheind them.
"No- of course shes not alright, she's getting forced to marry a ferret!"
"Now dont be rude Weasle."
Ron turned around to see that Draco was the one asking about Hermione...
"Don't you dare go near her Malfoy..."
"Well im going to have to go near her, she needs to have my kids"
Ron went in for a punch but Hermione had woke up and put a shield charm around Draco...
"Eh, thanks Granger"
Hermione just nodded and walked away.
"Hermione dont you dare, your not going anywhere, im taking you to Madame Pomfrey."
"I'll come with you..."
"You don't have to pretend to care Malfoy"
"And what if im not pretending"
"Just hurry up"
" Don't worry boys, she will be just fine, ive just given her a little potion that will make her sleep"
"I have to go... But she will be ok right"
"Yes potter don't worry"
"I'll stay"
Hermione lay in the hospital bed with the blonde boy looking down at her. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Hermione, are you ok"
Hermione sat up, the colour had almost fully returned to her face.
"Since when to you call me Hermione"
Draco sighed with a smile growing on his pale face.
" Since we became engaged" Draco said.
"Well this shall be very, very difficult"
" We might be able to make it work"
"Your a Malfoy, Im a mudblood, what does that sound like to you."Hermione said this in a sort of sircastic tone.
"You are not a mudblood, dont say that again"
Hermione looked at Draco and smiled, she wasn't sure how this would work but she was willing to try, she was not giving up her magic anytime soon. Not if she could prevent it.
A/N - I like marridge law fics. Sometimes they are a bit random but somtimes they can be good.
