The Marriage Law

Bloody Hell

Hello beautiful, fabulous readers. I’m at it again. Hope you enjoy my book and also check out my other books. One more thing, this book has more than one main character so I will be doing in everyone's POV. Some chapters will have just one couple other will have two if that makes sense

Hermione, Ginny, Harry and Ron stepped off the train at Hogwarts. It brought back a lot of memories coming back here but they had all agreed to come back and finish their last year so that they didn't regret no coming back.

"No turning back now." Ron said. They all nodded before heading to the carriage that would take them to the castle. It had been a year since the war and it had been hard for all of them. For Harry, he had to deal with the guilt and grief that came with the war and the people who died. He still blamed himself a bit but with the help of his friends he was slowly accepting that the people who died, died for the freedom to be themselves and not live in a world where a psychopath controlled everyone and everything.

Ginny, his ex-girlfriend helped him feel that he was worthy of love. They had broken up because they both felt like they were more friends then love interest. Ginny also was dealing with grief and loss. She lost her brother and that hurt her entire family. Her family shut themselves away in the newly built Burrow and grieved his loss.

After they had all gotten themselves together Ginny received a letter from the Holyhead Harpies asking her if she would like to join the team as a Chaser. She was going to accept when on the same day, Ginny received a letter from Professor McGonagall now Headmistress asking her to come back do her second to last year at Hogwarts. It also said that she would understand if Ginny didn't wish to return. After much thought Ginny decided to turn down the Holyhead Harpies and return to Hogwarts to finish her education.

As for Hermione and Ron, after the war ended they tried dating but in the end they decided that they were just friends and broke up. Hermione went onto finding her parents and somehow they ended up in Australia. She gave them back their memories and took the yelling she knew was coming. In the end, her parents decided that they liked Australia and decided to stay. Hermione was in the process of trying to get them to reconsider when she got a letter from Professor McGonagall. She wrote back immediately and agreed to come back even though it would be a little painful to see Hogwarts again.

Arriving at the castle they all got out of the carriage and began walking towards the castle entrance. Half way there they noticed two wizards and a witch they recognized.

"What the bloody hell are they doing here?" Ron asked.

"Probably doing what we're doing." Ginny said rolling her eyes. They all made it to the Great Hall and quickly found their spot at the Gryffindor's table. McGonagall stood up after everyone had arrived.

"I have an announcement to make before we start the sorting. I want all sixteen through nineteen years of age to stay after dinner." She said before the sorting began for the new witches and wizards. After dinner anyone that wasn't a fifth year or above left the Great Hall.

"Now then, I must inform you that your lives are about to change. You all know that we lost a lot of people due to the war so to help grow our world the Ministry has come together and passed a law that anyone sixteen or older that can still bare children will be made to marry in order to grow our population. I-" she said but was interrupted by the students outburst of protests.

"SILENCE!!" She yelled making the whole room quiet down. "I'm sorry if this upsets you but it must be done or else the Ministry will confiscate your wand, strip you of your magic and you will lose your memory of the Wizarding World and be put in the Muggle World." She said.

"So you are telling us that after fighting a war for our freedom we are now having our freedom taken away and there is nothing we can do about it." Ginny said angrily.

"I an truly sorry Miss.Weasley but I'm afraid you are correct." She said. "If you choose to not do this a worker from the Ministry is here to deal with that."

"So the Ministry is going to randomly select someone for us to marry?" Neville said.

"No, the Sorting Hat will be placed on your head and it will tell you who your soulmate is. If your soulmate is in the room that person doesn't have to come up here for obvious reasons." She said. "If your name is called and the Sorting Hat doesn't say a name, please sit over at Hufflepuff's table, you will be assigned someone. Now let's begin."

"Seamus Finnigan"

"Bloody Hell" Seamus said.
