Chapters 1 – The Wizarding World are facing New Era, New Population and New Law.

THE ICREASSION OF SQUIB EFFECT THE NEW LAW

The news about the squib population has increase, Minister of Magic; Kingsley Shackelbolt has made a new law. All the pure-blood wizards have to marry other than their own communities include the half-blood and Muggle-born.

Every wizard or witch 18 to 45 will receive a letter to inform their future husband or wife. This choice has been made by their interests and degrees of achieve ness. They have to accept it or their wand will be break and will be disowned by the Britain Wizarding Community.

Hermione Granger slammed the Daily Prophet after read it aloud. She stays at the Burrow with the Weasleys and the boy-who-live-twice, Harry Potter, since the final battle. All of the listeners are surprise and trying to chew the new information.

"Well, I don't think Harry, Ginny, Ronald and George will be affected by this law. All of had engaged. But, it will affect me because I don't have anyone right now." Hermione said. She has breaking up with Ron about 6 months. They realize that their love toward each other is more like sister and brother. Now, Ron has engaged with Lavender. It seems that Lavender has been very mature after the final battle and confessed her love to Ron is not just silly crush.

"I have advice you before that you got to find someone, but, you just ignore it, now, you have to face it." Ginny said with sad.

"Oh, don't worry dear. I'm sure they will find someone that intelligent as you." Molly Weasley said in her best mother tone.

And then the owl comes to Hermione with a formal letter from the ministry.

"Oh no, Severus, open the letter." Minerva said in curious. She really wants to know the woman that the ministry had set to him. She knows Severus still has feelings toward Lily Potter. And all the witches that she had known since she teaches at Hogwarts does not fit Severus mind unless…

Mister Snape,

First of all we want to say thank you because of your participation in this new law. We have found the most suitable witch after doing a few tests.

As the result from the tests, we gladly to inform you that you are officially engaged to Miss Hermione Jean Granger, she is very intelligent and it suit yours too. You need to come to the ministry this evening to discuss about some things that involve in your marriage that will be held in a week time.

Lastly, congratulation!

Marissa Houston,

Department of Law in Marriage,

Severus Snape looks at the letter in disbelief. Never once in his life he feels very surprise. Hermione Granger, what are they thinking? She is her ex student and the insufferable know-it-all.

"Congratulation Severus, you get the brightest witch in her age." Pomona Sprout said.

"Yeah, you must be very glad you does not engaged to some of your dunderheads." Minerva said, chuckling.

"Stop that, I don't want this." Severus said and throwing murderous glares to his colleagues. He stands and walks away.

"No, tell me it's not true. Tell me that the name is not stated there."

Hermione sobs. She doesn't want to believe that now she is officially engaged to his ex professor. She does not want to give up her wand but she does not want to marry to Severus Snape too.

She knows that Severus Snape is a double spy. His secret is revealed when he gives Harry the memories; however Hermione has brought some antidote for the poison and saves his life. Glad the Nagini poison can be heal if they use a right treatment. So, now everyone knows about his undying loves to Harry Potter's mother Lily Potter.

"It's okay. You have to be patient, I'm sure you can live with it." Harry said. Since the final battle Harry is now more mature and always thinks rationally.

"Yeah, I don't think the slimy bat is so bad. As his sacrifice in the battle I believe that he is not heartless." Ron grinned. Well, there is nothing change in Ron except he is more careful and believe in the 'Family First" quote is a basics thing to have a happy life.

"Yeah, where is my Gryffindor courage anyway? I will face this." She said and turns to Ginny. "Gin, you have to help me with my appearance at the ministry today." She drags Ginny to their bedroom.

"Want to please someone eh?" Ginny giggle hysterically.

"No, you little red, I want to make sure that I don't looks like a piece of rotten clothe in front the bat." Hermione sends her a glare.

"Okay, just kidding. Now, let us see what we have here." Ginny pulls out a plain violet dress with a black belt to wrap around the waist. Hermione look at her like she is insane.

"No way am I going to wear that." Hermione said.

"Why?" Ginny asks pretending dumb.

"You must remember when I wore that dress during Percy wedding. All the men at the ceremony stare at me. I don't want to repeat that again." Hermione shake her head.

"Well, you have to look like a woman not a child that he used to know. Come on, Hermione just this time." Ginny plead.

"Fine, I'll change." Hermione said with a scowl.

Then, Ginny start to adjust her hair. She takes the left part to the back and ties it with a violet ribbon. Then, she put a soft pink lipstick and bit mascara and applies soft pink eye shadow. Hermione does not need blusher, her cheek is always red, Ginny notices that after 10 years befriend with her.

"Here you are, a woman that will make our dear Potion Master shock and lead him to the hospital." Ginny said.

"Hey, I kind of like that idea of lead him to the hospital. Then, I don't have to marry him." Hermione laugh.

"I think you should go now you have another 15 minutes left. Don't want to be late." Ginny said and push her out of the room to the fireplace. And throw the floo powder for her friend and push her in.

"Ministry of Magic" Hermione said.
