The Ministry Knows Who Likes Who, NOT!

"Harry, Ginny stop snogging each other for one second, please." said an exasperated Hermione Granger. Then said people broke apart.

"Mione, we wouldn't be doing it in front of you if you would have let us stay home instead of coming back here." said Ginny Weasley to the bookworm brunette. The three of them and Ron were sitting in the Great Hall for lunch, and Ginny couldn't keep her hands off Harry. Since the war had ended everyone seemed to relax more since Voldemort had been defeated for good, and the students had the choice to return and Hermione convinced her friends to come back.

"Well could you at least only do that in private?" she said as politely as possible.

"Yeah Harry I don't want to see you snogging my little sister." added Ron.

"Fine, we won't do it anymore." said Harry.

"Around you two." added Ginny. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued reading her new book.

"Looks like the Slytherjerks came back as well." said Ron, as he saw the four remaining Slytherin 7th years make their way to their house table.

"Ron could you just let your grudge against them go?" asked Hermione.

"I just want peace between us and them. The war is over Ron." added Harry.

"I don't think so. I hate them. Parkinson, Zabini, Lestrange, and Malfoy." he said the last surname as if a foul word. After this was said Headmistress McGonagall stood from the Head table and everyone quieted down.

"Welcome back students. We have had a rough time as many loved ones and friends were lost, and it's hard on us all. Though we must remember they did not die in vain, but for us. Anyway the forbidden forest is off limits to all students, students 5th year and younger are not aloud out in the hallways at night except for when your with a prefect. Older students are not aloud out in the hallways at night except for when there is a problem and you must tell a teacher. Now all students other than Ronald and Ginerva Weasley, Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Juniper Lestrange, Draco Malfoy, and Harry Potter please go to your classes." Everyone except the 8 students left the hall.

"What could McGonagall want from us? We didn't do anything wrong!" said Pansy frantically.

"Pansy get a grip." said an annoyed Juniper.

"Oh Junie no need to be mean." said Blaise as if talking to a three year old.

"Shut up, Campfire and call me Junie again and you'll lose a very important appendage." she threatened pointing a metal fork at him. Blaise held up his hands in defeat.

"Okay, Treehead don't get your knickers in a twist." he responded.

"That is it!" she said lunging at him from across the table. Draco had to hold his black haired, brown skinned, cousin back. When he got a good grip on her he put her back in her seat.

"Stay." he said as if talking to an animal. "Now will you two shut up, already." he said exasperated. Blaise and Juniper glared at each other.

"Fine." they said in unison. When the very last student was gone, McGonagall continued.

"Now your all probably wondering why I asked the 8 of you to stay." she said.

"No duh!" mumbled Draco. Pansy and Juniper began snickering quietly.

"So I will have Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt continue." she said. Then Kingsley walked up.

"You are all very influential people in the Wizarding world for good," he pause, "or the not so good." when he said that the Gryffindors turned to the Slytherins. They rolled their eyes. "We have appointed a Marriage Law for wizards and witches 17 through 30 and you are to participate. We have decided that we should try this on you first before the rest of the Wizarding Community." Ginny stood.

"So your going to tell me who I'm going to marry?" she yelled.

"Everyone was put with there perfect match. So I'm going to tell you what the couples are Ms. Weasley. Now when I call out you names sit at the Ravenclaw table with your partner." Kingsley replied pulling out a long sheet of parchment.

"Ronald Weasley." he said. Ron stood up. "Pansy Parkinson." His and Pansy's eyes widened.

"Oh, that suck's for you Pans." said Juniper who was laughing along with Draco and Blaise. Pansy ignored them and walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down.

"Ah man!" whined Ron.

"It's going to be okay Ron. Maybe being married to a Slytherin will get you over the hate you have for them." said Hermione.

"Yeah and a Basilisk just crawled out my butt." he responded walking to the Ravenclaw table. He sat so far away from Pansy that 3 more people could fit.

"He took that well." muttered Harry.

"Blaise Zabini." Blaise stood. "Ginerva Weasley." There was a long pause.

"Here it comes." whispered Juniper and surprisingly Harry said the same at the other table.

"WHAT? No Kingsley, I want to marry Harry, not him." yelled Ginny pointing at Blaise.

"Miss Weasley sit down this instant before I give you detention." said McGonagall sternly. Ginny reluctantly went and sat down by Blaise.

"Miss Weasley I am sorry that you did not get pared with who you wanted but Mr. Zabini is who you were pared with. Now, Harry Potter." Harry stood this time. "Juniper Lestrange." Surprisingly neither one objected and sat down next to each other.

"Thank you Miss Lestrange and Mr. Potter for taking this so well. Five points awarded to both of you." said McGonagall. Juniper smiled smugly and Harry just blushed.

"Lastly Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger." said Kingsley.

"You must be kidding, right? Kingsley I thought you knew me better." said a desperate Hermione.

"I am not marrying her. No way, not gunna happen. I hate her, always have, always will." said Draco.

"You two have to marry or you will have your magic taken away and be band from ever returning to the Wizarding Community. You will either live your lives as Squibs in the muggle world or marry each other." he said sternly. Draco and Hermione sat down next to each other. "Lastly you each have to be married before your graduation, but no double weddings, also you must pick a date by next Wednesday so you have exactly five days from tomorrow to pick, and 3 months after you graduate you must have at least one child. Now Minerva could you finish this up please." he said.

"Let me explain a few last thing to you. This year your classes will be shared between the two of you. So even if you have class with the Ravenclaws or Hufflepuffs your spouse will be with you. Also you will all be living in your own separate dorms so you will learn how to live with your spouse. Your things have already been placed there and those blue papers in front of you will help you get there it also has your password. Lastly you will also be attending a class to teach you all about married life and they will also help you bond with your spouse. Your first class is 15 minutes after you find your dorms. You are dismissed." When McGonagall was completely finished the pairs reluctantly went there separate ways to find there dorms.
