A Shining Star Within

Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me, except for the plot. I give all credit to the amazing J.K. Rowling, whom without a lot of us would have nothing to obsess over!

A/N: Hello guys! So, I got my laptop (YAY!) on August 11, 2011 and wrote like three chapters in one night. However, the STUPID SCHOOL wouldn't connect to the internet! So I was finally able to connect, and decided to gift you guys with a chapter! So enjoy, and pretty please- review at the end! Reviews make authors happy!

Chapter One

It was summertime at the burrow; One of Hermione's favorite places on Earth. She loved to feel the warm breeze on her face as she sat under the tallest trees in the yard reading a good book. However, today was not a peaceful day. She and the rest of the wizarding world had received terrible and upsetting news. She sat under that tree, wiping stray tears from her eyes as she starred at the Daily Prophet once more.

A New Law Shakes Up the Wizarding World

By: Rita Skeeter

Late last night within the ministry, Minister Kingsley Shackelbolt released unsettling news. Due to dropping rates in wizard births, It was decided that a course of action needed to be taken. A law has been released stating that a muggleborn must marry a Pureblood. After all muggleborns have been married off, they will move onto halfbloods. Once all Purebloods and muggleborns are married, halfbloods will be paired with whomever is left. Confusing, right? This law applies to anyone over the age of 17 and under the age of 50. The couples' must be married before one month is over after letters have been sent out stating who is marrying who. These couples must have one child before a year is over. They will marry at the ministry Marriage Law office and will show proof of a child at that same office. I honestly don't have the words to describe this situation. I hope for the best for all.

Hermione had no words for this cruel injustice forced upon them. Didn't their choices matter? Didn't they account for love and happiness in this equation? Her and Ron had finally taken their relationship to the next level and had been dating for two weeks, and now? What was going to happen to them? She was scared and frightened. For once, she didn't have the answer to things. She was freely crying now and could barely hear anything above her sobs. She faintly heard voices nearing her.

"Mum, Come quick!" She heard before Ron came into view. Molly was quickly trailing behind him.

"Oh dear! Quickly! Get her inside dearies! She's going into shock!" Molly shouted
