It was early in the but I was in the great hall with a cup of coffee and a plate of toast. It was the first day of school. It was going to be busy with all the new students and an extra year here at hogswart. But I was also waiting for today's owl post. More like I was dreading today's owl post.
"Good morning Harry." Hermione said as she sat down in front of me. I nodded to her.
"Morning Hermione. I wasn't expecting you just yet." She smiled and filled up a cup of tea for herself. A plate showed up in front of her with her normal breakfast. She looked my plate over and gave me a look.
"Still can't eat breakfast?" She asked me. I nodded to her. She let out a breath and started eating. It didn't take long for students to start filing in. Right at 7 I looked up to the top windows and let out a breath. Just like that owls started flying in. A few moved to the rafters and waiting for their witch or wizard.
Hermione's owl post came in and dropped off the paper. She opened it and started reading. I looked up and waited for my owl. Finely Hex flow throw the window and made his way to me. He landed on my arm that I had held out for him. He held out his leg for me to take my mail and paper.
When I took everything he hopped onto the table and I feed him some of my toast that was sitting there. I put my paper aside to read later. I already knew what would be there. Just not that the words. I had a few letters from and for business. Then the letter that I've been waiting for from Gringots.
"Oh my god." I put my letters in my bag and looked at Hermione. Her face was white and her hand was over her mouth. I let out a breath. She must have heard and looked at me. Her eyes got wider. Then she glared at me and dropped her hand.
"Harry James."
"Hermione Jane?" She almost smiled. Then pulled out her wand and throw a privacy ward around the both of us.
"Harry James please tell me that this isn't a real law?" I let out a breath.
"I haven't read the paper yet Mione. But I knew the law would become public today. That's why this year started a day early. It's a set of four laws that were signed and passed together. Remember when I told you the law we wanted to pass together about magical race rights. It passed, but for me to get it passed, I had to agree to another law. Same with someone else. So four laws got passed." She sat the paper down and got her note book out. She clicked her pen and looked at me.
"Four laws, what are they and what do they involve." I refilled our cups and took a drink.
"Mine is the first on the four. All laws will be looked over and either put into effect or removed. We as a magical world are going to be opening and welcoming to all races. We will learn and so on. There will be no more shutting races. Our world is getting smaller and smaller because of Tom and Dumble views. We are starting new and with open arms." She nodded.
"They passed our proposal?" I nodded to her and she smiled. "The Goblins will be pleased. They forgave us for just passing on the proposal."
"I've already talked to the Goblins and everything is much better between them and myself. They did tell me to ask next time." She smiled softly.
"Second law?" She asked me.
"Every child will be accounted and invited into the magical world. Weather it's pure blood, half blood, muggle born, mixed blood or squill. If they are in the magical world they will be watched and removed if there are problems. If there parents agree and are right parents they keep there child. If a child is homeless or parentless they are given to a family. No child under 17 will be allowed to be homeless. It will be given to a family. A family closest to it's blood line. Or a willing family." She finished writing and thought about it.
"I understand that law, nothing will be able to happen like what happened to you or others. Abuse won't be allowed either. It also keeps magical people in the magical world. Third law."
"The next two go together. There are also many points in the next two laws. Some will only stay in accounts for the next few years while the second law will be forever." She nodded. "First every person will take a magical blood test. It will state if you are part of a family you didn't know about or if a family is yours you didn't know about. The magical population is very low. Some loss families will be brought forward and some new families will be made. There will be no line in the sand. Just some families will have more power then others." She nodded and understood.
"The first part is marriage contact are no longer acceptable. You can have a bestowal agreement but the two people who are getting marred are allowed to veto it. There's a deparement in the minstery that will be incharge of that. All marriage contacts right now will be allowed to be broken without any issues. No lost honor or so on."
"That's great Harry." I nodded.
"Now here's where you get upset. Each witch or wizard has to be married at 17. Everyone under 50 has to be married. Everyone over 50 dose not. Along with the blood testing you will have some paperwork to fill out. Your name, your family head, which you prefer. Then it will ask if you are married and wish to be remarried. That will go to the minster and filed. The head of each family will get a package for each member of there family. Together they will pick the match that person wants. Then send it back to the minster. Some families will have more power than others. But each person under 50 has to be married before the end of the year."
"Harry that doesn't sound all that bad?" I nodded.
"I know and I understood the law and agreed to it. What part I'm having a problem with is each family has to have it's own boned mate." Her eyes grow a little. "Which means if you are the head of more then one house each has to have it's own parented."
"But."
"But that means I have to find one for each of my houses. I have to find 7 mates." She nodded and I could see she was thinking. "They will come out into the open also Hermione. The Goblins are doing the blood tests."
"The last law?"
"For now each married couple has a year to birth a child. For now everyone from 17 to 50 have until the first of the year to be married. Each family has to have a child for each family name. Meaning each couple has to have at less two children. After this round each person at the age of 15 has to be pared, by 17 they have to be married. After they are married they have a year to birth a child. It's a year because when there is a bonding they are given a potion to help conceive."
"This all makes since Harry because of the population. But we don't have a way to tend to a child. Not all 17 year olds are even out of school." I nodded.
"The school will change for those who are expecting and married. There will also be a day care. Also more jobs are being opened and everyone will be able to get a job. At less one parent has to work. If though a family isn't able to tend to their children they will be given help like the muggles do." She looked relived.
"Each family will be watch closely." I nodded.
"Yes, this isn't just our country that is issuing this either. IWC issued the law. These four laws are passing all over the world." She smiled and nodded.
"You passed your law with the IWC?" I nodded. "Harry I love you so much. Thank you for helping me."
"From now on Mione you are no longer a muggle born you are a first generation." Her face light up. "But I wanted to ask you something."
"Go ahead Ray. "
"You will be taking a blood test sometime this week and either you will become the head of your family or find out that you are part of a old family. I love you Hermione and your my sister. With this coming up I want you to be happy inside the law. I talked with the goblins and found out that I could bring you into my family and make you my sister." Her eyes grow.
"Since I am the most powerful family I have first pick in so many words. That means all of my family dose also. Family raking really pays in ranking right now. Nothing else does." She was surprised. "The goblins just wrote back, they are ready when every I am and I would have came talked to you when ever I got the letter. I understand if you don't want to. But you are my sister and I love you. I want to make you part of my family." Her eyes started tearing.
"Yes, I love you also and you are my brother." I let out a breath.
"Then off we go sis."
"What?"
"Classes don't start till Monday but every had to be in school to be tested in one large go. The Headmistress will be explaining the law at the end of breakfast. She has no control over me. I own the castle." Hermione rolled her eyes. "I also told her I had business to deal with." She smiled.
"Let's got going then bro." I grabbed my things and stood up. She grabbed her bag also and walked to meet me at the end of the table. She put her arm around mine and I appeared us out of the school and to appearing point next to the bank.
