BANG
''Get up you freak''
Calypso sighed and slowly rised out of her bed, according to her sisters being a metamorphmagus entails you to being a freak, but she disagrees. She slips on her slippers and stands in front of her full length mirror. Starring back at her is a tall, pale girl, with dark blue eyes and bright red hair; she's skinny but still has curves and freckles across her nose. Calypso doesn't mind the way she looks, she's always been self-conscious of herself since the other girls in her family are Veela. Calypso makes her way downstairs to find her family sitting at the breakfast table reading the Daily Prophet.
''So, What's going on in the world today?'' She asks slumping down in a chair and drinking a glass of orange juice. Her two sisters squeal. Calypso gives them a confused look and the eagerly give her the Prophet.
MINISTRY OF MAGIC PASSES NEW MARRIAGE LAW
Any witches and wizards between the ages of 16-32 who are not in a legal marriage will be given a spouse from the ministries choosing. Later this afternoon, owls will be sent to the witch or wizard with the name of the spouse and other information.
Calypso gasps as she finishes reading. ''A marriage law? They can't do that!'' she cries ''I'm only 19, I can't get married!''.
''Who would want to marry you?'' Calliope snorts
''It's probably a mountain troll'' Cassiel tells her
''Well, Cassiel this sucks for you cause you'll only be able to shag one guy for the rest of your life'' Calypso retorts, changing her eyes to a red to match her hair. Cassiel goes wide eyed.
''I didn't think of that, he better be a good shag or to hell with him'' she says getting up from the table laughing. Calypso glares at her and gets up from the table as well.
''I'm going to get ready for when the owls come, I'm sure my future fiancée will want to see me before the wedding'' Calypso tells everyone and she runs up the stairs to the bathroom.
After a 6 minute long shower and a 15 minute fight with Calliope about using all the hot water Calypso slips on a pair of black muggle skinny jeans, a blue and grey plaid long sleeve shirt and a pair of blue converse. She changes her looks back to normal and sighs, she was debating whether to let her paired fiancée see her real looks or not.
''Girls the owls are here!'' she hears her father call up to them.
Calypso takes in deep breathes, she was so bloody nervous. What if she got paired with an ugly, abusive git? What if she wasn't pretty enough? She shook her head dismissing the thought. She ran out of her room only to be stopped by her sisters.
''Well, don't you look err-'' Calliope started looking down at her little sister
''I think the word is bloody hideous'' Cassiel cackled
Calypso pushed by them, ignoring their insult. She ran down the stairs and into the living room where her mother and father were waiting. Calypso eyed the three envelopes on the table and bit her lip.
''Come here girls, I want you to open up your letters together'' Her mother told them gesturing to the couch. Calypso walked towards the couch slowly, but her father grabbed her arm and brought her down to sit beside him in one quick movement.
''I hope I get Harry Potter'' Cassiel mutters to Calliope
''Um, he's dating Ginny Weasley'' Calypso tells her giving her a confused look
''So? I bet he's still one hell of shag''
Calypso shuttered at the thought of her slutty sister Cassiel shagging Harry Potter, the one who defeated the dark lord. Calypso reaches forward and grabs her letter. Taking a deep breathe she eagerly rips the Ministry seal of the back and begins to read,
Dear Miss. Calypso Jackson

Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minister of Magic
Ministry of Magic
Calypso re-reads the letter a dozen times to get the message to sink in. Fred Weasley? The twin prankster from Gryffindor who was a year before her? The one that she had a crush on in 3rd year? Calypso had fought in the war, she saw him get hit with a wall she was certain he died. Calypso's thoughts were interrupted by her sisters shrill shrieking.
''Merlin, I got Draco Malfoy mum, he was in my house!'' Cassiel shrieked, she'll have fun with him she thought.
''Mum, Daddy! I got Theodore Nott'' Calliope cried joining arms with Cassiel and jumping up and down.
''Who did you get dear?'' My father asked trying to read my letter,
''Um-''
''She probably got some loser Ravenclaw like herself'' Calliope muttered which made Cassiel guffaw.
''I got Fred Weasley'' I tell them
Calliope and Cassiel suddenly stop laughing and stare at her. Their eyes shooting daggers towards her.
''The Gryffindor prankster whose a year ahead of us?'' Cassiel questions
Calypso gave her a smirk; she knew that in 4th year she had a huge crush on him.
''The one and only'' Calypso told her slyly.
OoOoOOooOOoOOoOOo
A few hours later Calypso is in her room sitting in front of her mirror, changing her looks. She only does this when she's bored and Merlin she was. An hour ago she had sent a letter to her new fiancée and asked if he wanted to get together and talk. She was still awaiting a reply. She was all alone in the house, her sisters had gone out shopping and her parents had gone to work.
CLANG
Calypso looked up to find an old brown owl sitting outside her window pane. She eagerly opened the window and let the owl in; he immediately fell to the ground. Calypso gasps and tried to awaken the owl. She pulled out her wand and whispered Enervate and the owl awoke. Calypso gave the owl a treat and opened the letter.
Calypso,
I knew I heard your name from somewhere, now I know. I wonder why they put us together, a Ravenclaw and a Gryffindor, odd housing couple but I bet you're very smart. My mother is going absolute bonkers with this marriage law, and she wants you to come over for dinner tonight. You don't need to dress up its anything but formal. Just apparate to the burrow.
Love the extremely charming and better looking Weasley twin
Fred
Calypso chuckled, now, what to wear. She had already got dressed to meet him but now that she's going to meet his family she needed to dress a little bit better. She changed into a light blue tank top, white muggle jeans, a black blazer and black converse. Calypso always wore converse, she had every colour.She still went with her previous plan and didn't change her looks. She looked in the mirror, she had a few bruises from Calliope and Cassiel hitting her but she hid them. She decided she better get going but she remembered that her family didn't know where she was going. She left a quick note on the table
Gone to meet Fred's family don't wait up
-Calypso
Calypso chewed her lip nervously and then she apparated with the familiar tug at her navel. She appeared at the edge of a lake. She turned around to find a tall, misshapen house a few yards away. She began to chew her lip again as she walked towards the door, her hair colour changed to a bright blue without her noticing and only changed back when a middle aged, ginger haired woman answered the door.
