I know I still got an unfinished story and here I am writing another one. Don't worry dear readers as I will update my other story but it will take some time since my laptop broke down and I have no time to fix it. I fix things myself as much as I can as I don't want other people touching my files. I'm so paranoid when it comes to computer file security. I don't want to rewrite those 5000+ words since it'll just frustrate me when I try to remember the exact words I've already written. I'm just using my brother's laptop so bear with me. This story came out due to my current state of stress at my current workload so I get to release some of it by writing. Enough said. Here's the Prologue let me know what you think of it.

PROLOGUE
"What in the name of Merlin is the Ministry trying to do, Harry? Marriage Law?! And what's worse everyone who's not a Pureblood gets to be paired with one." Hermione fumed as she walked back and forth in the living room of Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
"At least we get to choose who we can pair up with." Harry responded to calm down his best friend.
"Easy for you to say…you got Ginny."
"You have Ron. I saw you kissed him when ..."
"It was those spur of the moment things, you know. I don't want to get married, yet. For Godric's sake, I'm only 18. I should be enjoying single life. I want to accomplish a lot of things before I settle down. I'm not even sure if Ron is the one. I don't want to be stuck in a marriage that I'll regret later on." Hermione continuously ranted.
"But Hermione, you will be obliviated and your wand snapped."
"I don't care. I stand by my decision."
"You'll forget us."
"But you and everyone else will not forget me; what I'm fighting for. At least that's what I hope."
"Don't you get it Harry; this so-called Marriage Law still oppresses Muggleborn rights and every other witch or wizard's rights for that matter."
"Just think it's for the greater good, Hermione. The next generation will be Halfbloods like me. Purebloods will have to live with having Halfblood grandchildren. No more blood purity issues. Don't you want that?"
"I do, Harry. Believe me. I do. I would love those egotistic blood purists pegged down a notch but not this way. There must be another way."
"Think of it like your spew cause."
"S.P.E.W., Harry. It's S.P.E.W."
"Fine, S.P.E.W. This time you'll be freeing the Wizarding World from blood purity."
"...Not at the cost of one's freedom to be happy and loved. It's just that I have principles, Harry and it sure does not entail what the Ministry of Magic is imposing on us. After all that we've been through, this time around I deserve to live passionately, laugh happily and love freely. If that happens to me by being back to the Muggle World, I don't give a damn.

"Mother, I'm sorry to say this but I will not abide by that preposterous Marriage Law."
"But you'll be punished. You'll live like a Muggle. Your memories wiped out."
"Memories, they can erase but being a Slytherin they cannot. I'm cunning, resourceful and ambitious as any Slytherin. Surely, I can cope in the Muggle World."
"Please son, you have to change your mind. You're the last Malfoy."
"I know and I'm not proud of it."
"But Draco, son by conceding to what the Ministry wishes will be one step to put the Malfoy name back to honor."
"Do you honestly believe that, Mother? We'll always be remembered as a family of Death Eaters."
"You're wrong, son. I will be remembered as the one who lied to The Dark Lord to save Harry Potter. You, the one who tried to kill Dumbledore but couldn't because of your conscience and Lucius, as the head of the family who only bowed down to the Dark Lord in exchange of the lives of his wife and child. We can make it work. They're quite lenient with us now because I saved Potter's life. Your father will only be in Azkaban for 5 years then another 5 will be spent on house arrest. They only took half of our wealth and even though we only have the remaining half, we're still the richest in this side of the Wizarding World."
"Don't you get it, Mother? I no longer take pleasure in being a Malfoy. I need a change of scenery. Be on my own without anyone dictating what I have to do or accomplish for the sake of the Malfoy name. Insignificant or not, it all boils down to the pride of being a Malfoy and that I no longer possess nor want to revive. I'm really sorry, Mother, this time I have to be my own man and if that takes me to the Muggle World so be it."

The entire Wizarding World was shocked as they read the Daily Prophet the following day after the final day to fulfill the Marriage Law. The Daily Prophet was granted full coverage of the sad yet momentous event. Before the Ministry officials together with their friends and family, there stood Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy with no intention of abiding by it. It was the headlines to beat all headlines. The Pureblood, Draco Malfoy banished to live as a Muggle forever and the Muggleborn, Hermione Granger sent back to the world which she came from. Everyone felt as if they were present there themselves as the moving pictures of Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were displayed page after page of the entire issue of the Daily Prophet taking account of every aspect of the proceedings as each of their wands were snapped, the Minister of Magic reciting a long incantation until the time he started to finalize it with one word…Obliviate. For those keen observers, you can see that the two looked at each other and muttered something.
"Goodbye, Ferret."
"Goodbye, Mudblood."
On that day, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy no longer exist…only Jean Watson and Drake Felton came to be.
