A/N: So this is basically me first CHAPTER fanfic... I don't know if I should continue though! I'm not very good at writing really LONG things though, sorry! Please tell me what you think!
Disclaimer: Roses are red, voilets are blue, I don't own Harry Potter, but neither do you! (Well unless your the Queen herself, JKR!)
"THIS IS RIDUCULOS! THEY CAN'T GO AND MAKE US MARRY PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T KNOW!" Harry shouted outraged flapping the Daily Prophet in Hermione's face.
"Yes, it is isn't it? Terrible." Hermione muttered not looking up from her essay
"YOU COULD GET MARRIED TO A PERVET! I FORBID YOU TO- TO TAKE PART IN THIS SILLY LAW!"
"Harry, it's a law. You have to follow it!"
"YOU MISSY, ARE TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED!"
'Uh-huh, your going to get married too." Hermione pointed out.
"Yes, but you're a young woman! You're pure!"
"I am so not 'pure' Harry." Hermione snorted
Harry's eyes widened "WHAT?" he bellowed
"Oh, shut it Harry." she snapped irritated
"You will not take that tone with me!"
"What are you? My father?"
"No. But I am your-"
"Over protective best friend." Hermione muttered rolling her eyes
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?"
"BECAUSE I CAN! Now sit down AND SHUT UP!"
"NO!"
"HARRY JAMES POTTER IF YOU DON'T SIT DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET NOT GETTING KILLED BY VOLDEMORT!" Hermione roared
Harry sat down shut up and sat down straight away. Most Slytherins snickered 'the-boy-who-lived-twice' until Hermione shot them all death glares. They too immediately shut up and suddenly found their breakfasts immensely interesting. Dumbledore stood up. All the students in the great hall turned to look at the headmaster tearing their eyes away from Harry. Dumbledore chuckled.
"Yesterday a new law was passed, a marriage law to be precise. It is done all through forms and the Ministry will find your 'soul mate.' After the marriage you must sleep in the same bed and you cannot commit adultery. If you do you will both feel excruciating pain and you will have to walk around with boils all over your face and bright green hair. Not very pleasant. Your heads will be coming around to your common rooms tonight."
Everyone started talking at once. Slowly they filed out of the hall.
"Oh Drakie-poo, we'll be together for sure!" Harry and Hermione heard Pansy shriek hanging onto Draco's arm.
"I'd rather marry the Giant Squid." was his blunt reply.
The two laughed all the way back to the fat lady. They found Professor McGonagall struggling with a huge stack of different coloured papers.
"I can take some." Hermione offered
"Thank you, that would be great." the Professor said gratefully. They walked into the bright Gryffindor common and were immediately surrounded. After about 15 minutes everyone was scratching away silently. Well almost everyone.
"Hey! Hermione hasn't got a sheet!" Ginny pointed out.
Hermione glared at the red head for being so observant. She glanced at the door longingly and then looked at McGonagall. She shrugged and sighed.
"I'm already married." she muttered
"What? Hermione!" Harry cried
"I'm sorry Harry."
"Who is it?"
"Er, well if you promise not to kill him because it wasn't his fault we don't even love each other!" Hermione babbled slowly inching towards the door.
"Just tell me Hermione!"
"Draco Malfoy." Hermione said quietly looking down at her scuffed converse sneakers.
"WHAT? YOU MARRIED THE FERRET?"
"I'm sorry Harry!" Hermione said tearfully before running down the hall to where she and Draco lived.
Hermione wiped her eyes before walking into the common room.
"Hey." she said quietly
"Hey."
"You tell them?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Yeah."
That was how they lived. A short conversation to catch up on each others lives and then they would sit in bearable silence until Draco would go take a shower and then go to bed and the Hermione would go wash and slip in as far away as possible to him in the large bed. Then Draco would always wake her up in the morning and she would always straighten up his tie. They would part ways and try and ignore each other in classes and in the halls and then they would repeat over again. It was easy and simple. It was comfortable.
"Uh, Mother told me to give you this." Draco muttered later on in bed.
"What?" Hermione asked confused
"This." he said thrusting her a small velvet box not looking at her in the eye.
"Oh, uh thanks?" she said uncertainly taking the box gingerly from his hand. Slowly she opened it and gasped. Inside was a ring with a large diamond.
"Its been in the family for ages."
"Um, gee. Do you think its ok for me to wear this? I mean your family have all been purebloods, so…." Hermione trailed off.
"Its fine if Mother is letting you wear it. No if Father is letting you wear it." Draco grunted and sat up. He quickly grabbed the ring and Hermione's hand. Although he had been rather rough until then he gently put the ring onto her finger.
"Thanks." Hermione muttered. Draco nodded and turned over so he was facing the wall. Hermione did the same.
A/N: So should I continue? Like I said, first CHAPTER fanfic so yeah, I don't know how great it'll be! I have the whole story line/plot in my head so I probably will... But yeah! Tell me if I should or not, please!
