The Baby Project
The sixth years remained behind after the Feast, anxiously waiting for the news their Headmaster would be giving them.
"Students, you are all about to embark on the most amazing adventure!" announced Professor Dumbledore grandly. "Professor Abera will explain"
A man they didn't recognise, with dark hair and eyes stood up, his grin growing wide.
"For those of you who expected sixth year to be your year to slack off, you have been deceived!" The whispers around the hall grew steadily louder. "This year, you will once again put on the Sorting Hat, although" his voice seemed to echo with excitement, "things will go much differently this time. When the hat is placed on your head, it will call out a name. That name will be the name of your companion for the next year" confusion in the audience "throughout this year, your companion will be legally bound to you as your husband or wife. You and your companion will then be escorted to your new home. Here you will begin your life as a married couple, you will raise children, and undergo real life experiences, and you will be getting graded! Hopefully, you will all learn some valuable lessons that will help you in the future!"
He sat down, obviously very proud of himself. The hall echoed with whispers of excitement, and apprehension, all falling silent as Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat.
"As I call your name, please come forward. Abbot, Hannah!"
"NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!"
And so it continued. Hermione was paired with Ron, to their relief. They all narrowed their eyes as Draco Malfoy took the stand. There was a moment's silence before...
"MADISON VAEN!"
"OH HELL NO!"
Madison glared at Draco as they stood in front of Professor Abera, as they were 'married'. Draco scowled. Fifth year, Madison Vaen was all the things Draco loathed; Muggleborn, Gryffindor, and unafraid of him. He had hated her since the first day of second year, when she had thrown a shoe at his head. In fact, the only person he hated more than her was Harry Potter.
Harry shook his head in sympathy at Madison as Draco was forced to slip a ring on her finger. Harry stood beside his partner Ginny, and Ron and Hermione, who had typically, been paired together. Madison refused to look at her new husband, instead staring stubbornly at the wall.
"This is going to be a long year"
