CHAPTER 1- THE MINISTRY'S LETTER

Miss.Hermione Jean Granger,

Flourish and Blotts,

Diagon Alley

Ms. Granger due to the war and the downfall of the wizarding population the Ministry has come up with a Marriage Law, where we have matched all the muggleborn unmarried witches and wizards (of age of course) to the unmarried pureblood witches and wizards who are of age.

Your intended is Mr. Sirius Orion Black a resident of 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

Further details regarding the Law will be owled to you shortly.

Kingsley Shacklebolt,

Minister for Magic.

The brunette witch lowered her slightly shaking hands and took a deep breath and exhaled slowly and continued to do so for a few moments. When she was certain that she was calm enough to think properly without Avada-ing someone she went to the counter and payed for her purchases. The old man at the counter declined the money though saying that he couldn't charge the war heroine. Even the smell of leather and parchment was not enough to cool her down. After her insistence though the old man accepted the money albiet reluctantly.

As soon as she was out of the book store and on the busy street of Diagon Alley, she hurried towards the Leaky Cauldron so she could use the floo. Before she stepped into the dingy bar she glamoured herself a bit, even after four months after the final war the people stared and gawked at her endlessly. When she reached the floo she quickly grabbed a handful of the floo powder threw it in the floo and said quietly but clearly "" Number 12 Grimmauld Place.""

When she stepped out of the floo she shouted, ""Sirius, Sirius! where are you Black?"" She got no response from the man in question but she did heard another voice.

""Whoa!!! 'Mione what happened, you said you wouldn't be back until after lunch, is everything okay?"" Hermione's best friend Harry Potter asked her.

She turned towards her best friend and asked, ""Harry where is Sirius?""

Harry looked confused and said casually, ""He's in his bedroom doing god knows what."" He studied his best friend and asked,""What happened 'Mione, you're looking... hey where are you going Hermione?"' Harry asked when he saw her exiting the kitchen.

Hermione turned towards him and said,""To Sirius and don't you dare follow me up or try to intervene between us, you get that?.""She said with narrowed eyes.

Harry gulped and said, ""But Hermi...""

She interrupted him before he could even complete her name let alone the sentence.""Harry James Potter you will do as I say and will not follow me or try yo stop me or Merlin help me but I won't hesitate to hex you into next week.""

Poor Harry actually looked scared as hell, cause he knew that if Hermione was using your full name it meant that she meant only business and wouldn't tolerate any nonsense, so he just noded and said, ""Fine Hermione! but, I won't sit here and watch if you try to harm my godfather. Do you understand?""

Hermione sighed and said, ""Harry I'll not harm him it's just that I wanted to talk to him about something that's all."" Looking in Harry's eyes she said, ""I'll tell you once we're finished, don't worry I'll not kill him but, please don't follow me upstairs.""

Harry simply nodded. She gave him a half smile and started going upstairs to Sirius's room. The door to his room was ajar and hence she went inside thinking that he might've heard her coming and has thus kept the door open. The room was redecorated and was not anymore in the shades of black with wallpapers hanging down. But, was styled in different shades of white and blue giving the room both a serene and a cool look at the same time. Suddenly she turned towards her right when she heard someone calling her name and when she saw who it was her breath hitched. There standing at the door of the en suite was none other than Sirius Black, her intended. Though what shocked her the most was how he was standing there just with a towel hung loosely at his lean waist and how his chiselled chest has water dripping down. She watched fascinated how a drop of water traveled from the column of his throat to his sinfully tanned and tattooed sculpted chest, all the while till it disappeared into his towel. She abruptly stopped her inspection when she heard the sound of throat clearing. She looked up at his face and was surprised to see that he was smirking and his eyes were alight with barely concealed mirth and amusement. With a jolt she realised that he was smirking at her and blushed.

"'Done examining me Granger?"" the wizard asked her.

She replied without thinking, ""Yeah! I am."" But when she realised what she had said she blushed even more and said "'I mean no, I wasn't examining you. Don't flatter yourself Black. "" she said.

He just smirked even more and asked ""Oh! what were you doing than? counting my chest hair.""

She blushed even more, but composed herself and said, ""No actually I came here to discuss the..."" She was interrupted by a barn owl that came into the room through the opened window and held out the letter to Sirius.

Sirius untied the letter and gave some owl treats he had over his desk to the owl. The letter was from the Ministry and Hermione knew what the letter was about immediately. So, she went over to the bed and sat at the edge of it. She saw as Sirius ripped open the ministry seal and took out the letter, she observed his expressions closely and saw a myriad of them. Confusion, anger, disbelief and one that she couldn't quite place.

Finally he stopped reading and looked at her and asked... "" Please tell me they are joking, they cannot be serious. How can they do this to us.."" His rant was interrupted by another ministry owl. This time Hermione untied the letter and gave the owl some owl treats.

She read the front of the envelope and said, ""It's addressed to both of us."" She quickly read the letter and screamed ""What the fuck!!!! what do they mean by 'we've to get marry by the end of the next week and concieve a child within a year' are they fucking serious.""

Sirius stared at her like she's grown a second head which is magenta in color and has pimples all over the scalp. Though he was just surprised by her language than what was in the letter. She has never used any curse and often chastised whoever used it. It seemed as if she has finally lost her mind. Though his mind quickly repeated what she had said or rather screamed and horror dawned upon him.

Marry by the end of the next week!! are they insane.He took the letter from her hand and read it than re-read it and read it twice more before saying, ""They're serious about it. They're damn serious about it.""

She huffed and said, ""Of course they are, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you a letter saying so, right."" She read the letter again and suddenly her hair was emanating sparks, her eyes were ablaze.

She stood up, drew her wand out and stomped towards the stairs, the letter clutched tightly in her hand. Realizing that what she was about to do, he quickly dressed himself with a nonverbal wandless spell and went after her. Hermione was halfway to the floo when Harry spotted her, of course he had heard their conversation, it was difficult not to when they were screaming at the top of their lungs, but he was completely taken aback by his best friend. Her face was flushed with anger, her caramel eyes turning to amber colour, her hair standing at the ends buzzing with sparks of magic, her wand shooting tiny red sparks every now and then. All in all she looked like she was out for blood.

He opened his mouth to say something but she said, ""Not now Harry."" Effectively cutting him of. With that said she stomped into the floo, threw the floo powder in and said Ministry of Magic.

Harry gaped at the place where his best friend was only moments ago. He was still trying to process what just happened when his godfather literally rushed into the kitchen and asked, ""Where's Hermione Harry?"" His tone was frantic and worried.

""To the Ministry."" Harry said, pointing towards the floo.

Sirius nodded and muttered a ""Thanks Harry.""When he noticed that Harry was going to ask something he said ""Not now Harry."" and disappeared in the floo. Harry just stood there thinking what has happened that his best friend and godfather were behaving like crazy lunatics.

He scratched his head and said, ""What in the name of hell is happening here?"" His next words died on his tongue though when he smelt of burning pancakes. ""Bugger."" He said and rushed to the stove all thoughts of Sirius and Hermione forgotten.
