The new Minister of Magic sat down with the muggle Prime Minister. They had a serious decision to make that would forever change the muggle and wizarding worlds. It was time for the two worlds to unite; they had gone over this decision hundreds of times and came up with many different solutions. They finally agreed on one they felt was best. It was time for a Marriage Law.

In the muggle world:

It was summer, the best time of year Katy felt. She was seventeen and was just finished school; she had her whole life ahead of her and was excited for what it would bring. Katy's best friends Rachel and Aimee were over at her house, Aimee just also happened to be Katy's cousin. The girls were chilling out in Katy's room when her parents called them to come downstairs.

A special announcement was on that evening's news. The reporter made the announcement of a marriage law between the wizarding world and theirs. Katy was shocked, they had learned that they were living among wizards and werewolves a few months ago but Katy never really believed it, until now that is.

She felt like crying and she was sure that she wasn't the only one either. The law stated that all muggles and muggleborn's between the ages of seventeen and twenty must marry a wizard within that age group. All the muggles had to gather at their local town hall for their pairing.

Her friends were also devastated, who would want to spend the rest of their lives with someone they had never even met? Certainly not them, but they had no choice. Failure to comply with the new law meant a lifetime in prison and again who would want that? Marriage was definitely the lesser of two evils.

In the wizarding world:

The Weasley's were gathered round the kitchen table at the Burrow. They were out in full force, Charlie was home from Romania, Bill and Fleur back from Shell Cottage, Percy returned from the Ministry, Fred and George home from their shop and Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione were all back from Hogwarts. The Golden Trio had decided to return to Hogwarts to complete their last year after the Final Battle. Then of course there was Mr and Mrs Weasley. Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione were all anxiously waiting for the arrival of their letters regarding the Marriage Law.

They heard the screeching of the owl's seconds before they swooped through the Weasley's open window. Hermione shrieked with fright. "Sorry" she mumbled. Mrs Weasley grabbed the letters and began handing them out.

"There you are Fred dear; oh mind your head Ron, here take it! Here you go Harry, Ginny. This one's for you Hermione love, ah here you are George!"

They all nervously took their letters, hands shaking they opened them one by one.

Again Hermione shrieked and nearly burst into tears. "Oh Hermione love, what is it? Oh Merlin who did you get?" Mrs Weasley was frantic.

"M-Malfoy! I-I got Draco Malfoy the stupid prat!" Hermione was long past feeling shocked now she was raging.

Harry however was grinning from ear to ear "Hermione, were you not the one telling us that he has changed since the war? That he's a good person? And that he's – your words here not mine – not a bad looking fellow?"

"Well yes I suppose I did say that…oh stop laughing Ronald! Well go on who did you get then?" she fired back.

"Ginny" he replied grinning. Harry and Ginny looked at each other like they were the only people in the room. "How in Merlin's saggy trousers did you manage that?" demanded Ron.

"Well isn't it obvious Ronald? Harry's the Chosen One! They were hardly going to split him and Ginny up now were they?" Hermione was starting to accept her partner now and just wanted to know who the rest were paired with!

"Anyway Ron who are you paired with?" asked Ginny, she was curious as to who would be her new sister.

"I dunno, some girl called Aimee Mulhern, says she's a muggle living in Ireland or something" he replied.

"Ya mine's a muggle from Ireland too! Her name's Katy Gibbons" said Fred. "And mine as well! Rachel Keane is my one!" George piped up.

Mr Weasley found this intriguing that all three girls were from Ireland, he wondered if they knew each other and just what exactly the Ministry of Magic was up to.
