A/N hey everybody! I love Marriage Law Stories, just because they take so much skill to get the emotions and the characters down just right, so I decided to write one myself. There are many parings so it might be kind of confusing in the beginning. The main pairing is Draco/Hermione just to warn you in case you don't like this pairing. Also Dumbledore is alive in my story and Voldemort is dead. Anyways on with the story!

Disclaimer: Yeah I don't own the characters, just the plot.

Chapter One: How the Law Came About/ Prolouge

" It is not possible! Many of the people who will be under this law, if this law is passed, will be students who are still at school because they have to be in between 15 and 25." Dumbledore argued,"And if this law is passed they will not stand for it! They will be sure to barge into the Ministry's headquarters, demanding that you change the law. And-"

" This law must be passed Albus. There is no other way to avoid the prophecy made. The woman said that there would have to be this law to control the Wizarding world. The hatred between purebloods and everyone else is too big and if we don't control it now then riots would break out. So much fighting would start that we would have a civil war. All the purebloods are suspected of being part of the Deatheaters even after the war had ended." Rufus Scrimgeour cut in.

" But can't we do anything? Ban people from creating chaos? Hire more people for protection of the pureblood people?" Albus Dumbledore asked.

" No we cannot. People would not pay any attention to those laws and then our Aurors, and innocent people, will be in danger. This is the only way." the Minister replied.

" Alright if it is for the good of everyone then...we should pass this law. I believe, though, we should put people who know each other together, as well as people who would force themselves to get along in the long run. It would be a hard thing to do, but we must put as many people who were part of the Dark side but weren't Deatheaters, together with people of the Light Side. If we can do everything I mentioned. all together then we can pass the law.

" I believe we can create a list including all of that. So then it is decided. At 9:04 p.m., August 13, 1997, the Marriage Law is passed." After this a contract appeared which had a line after the words Minister of Magic and witness.

" Before we sign I belive we should apply some spells to it. The Law Binding spell, which will prevent the law to be broken, as well as some others that I will perform later." the Minister added.

Dumbledore merely nodded stiffly.

The contract disappeared after both Albus Dumbledore and Rufus Scrimgeour signed as the Minister of Magic and witness. Both of them shook hands, said their goodbyes, and then exited the room. As soon as they got outside they Apparated one after another silently, worrying what the reactions would be to the law.
