It all started one fateful morning.

"If I could have your attention please." Professor McGonagall asked in her pompous voice. " All 5th-7th years must stay after breakfast for some slightly...disturbing news."

Everyone, of course, started to wonder and chatter, mind you, what the heck was about to go on. Even talking about it the 1st years were talking about it. Heck even I myself was starting to Ron nudged me.

"Hey Mione any clue what is going on?" Ron asked.

"How should I know?"

"Well you are a prefect and you know everything."

I looked at him and decided that was a valid answer. " We will just have to wait to find out."

The minutes dragged by and What seemed like forever Professor Mcgonagall finally stood up.

"Students the ministry has informed us that we must teach you how to deal with marriages and... and pregnancies." She stopped to let everyone to absorb the new information. " You will be placed with your partner for this project by the sorting's hat friend the placement placer. I want girls on my right and boys on my left."

We quickly complied knowing that McGonagall would put us in detention and she was already angry. McGonagall pulled a old hat that looked even older than the sorting hat.

"When I call your name come up to the stool and put the hat on. This works in very similar ways to the sorting hat except this one will put you with a person not a house. Draco Malfoy! He walked up smirking knowing just who he was going to get.

"Pansey!" The sorting Hat yelled.

"Mr. Malfoy Please escort your partner to the table labeled with your names."

I looked behind me to see the long tables have been replaced by small tables seated for two.

"Harry Potter!" McGonagall said."

"Ah yes Harry Potter i've heard many things about you. I am afraid to say the one who I have to put you with is in her fourth year right now but it just happens to be... Ginny Weasley!

"Mister Potter go and Get Miss Weasley and bring her here please."

He ran to get her from her class.

"Ronald Weasley!"

"You will have to be with... Lavender Brown!"

He got up and took her to their seats. About an hour which had seemed like eternity to me The Professor finally called me up. There was only about 20 of us left Me being one of them.

"Ah Hermione Granger nice to meet you. Yes I can see you are very smart but don't have much fun and you are absolutely perfect for... ,Drumroll please the hat added, Fredrick Weasley."

I had paled considerably. He came up no emotion on his face and lead us to our seats. After everybody else had been sorted McGonagall spoke.

"Now you all probably want to know the other part of this project is now don't you?" You could hear a murmur of agreement spread across the hall. " You and your partner will pretend to be married for about the rest of the year if all goes well." Everybody could only stare. In that time the lady of the 2 partners will be injected a special serum that will make them pregnant . This project also will last for 2 years no matter what got it!"

"Yes mam!"

" You will all also have separate houses with your partner you are in charge of finding a plot, designing a house and finding someone to build it. you will be given 10,000 fake Galleons which you can build your house with and Maybe even by furniture with if you budget. You will be given a car to make trips to the grocery store and such. You will all be living in one town and there will be a grocery store, clothing stores, and all the things needed for living. You will be in charge of getting jobs there to pay for the necessities and all. Now on the pregnancy thing. The serum will be slipped into your drink at random the first three months. Any questions?"

I raised my hand.

"Yes Miss Granger."

"Will this pregnancy ge like a real pregnancy?"

"It will be exactly the same."

We all groaned. This will be an interesting 2 years.
