The next generation: arranged
Rose Weasley despises Scorpius Malfoy. What will happen when a law passes that arranges marriage, due to the popularization of squibs?
Chapter 1: Finding Out
"C'mon Rose!"
"No Albus. I do not trust you with my wand." I replied to Albus. We were on the train to our last year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry. I lay down opposite Lily, Dominique and Albus who were all laughing at Albus' attempts to get me to give him my wand.
"I can't wait to get to Hogwarts!" said Lily excitedly. I knew the whole reason she was so exited was to see her boyfriend Lorcan Scamander. I grinned at Lily and she blushed deeply, the others not noticing Lily, had noticed that the train was slowing down. I stood up, grabbed Albus' hand and dragged him out of the compartment before the rush of students. "Let's go." I muttered "Before we get trampled." Lily appeared at my elbow as Albus and I were getting into a carriage with Alice Longbottom, she was breathless and I spotted Lorcan looking slightly dazed behind us. I smirked at Lily, who glared and me. "Oh, shut up Rose!"
"I didn't say anything." I responded coolly. The carriage set off, pulling themselves as usual. Lily's dad, Harry, had told them tales of the carriages being pulled by skeletal, black horses. Of course I didn't believe him until third year when our Care of Magical Creatures teacher Professor Hagrid had shown us the herd that lived inside the forbidden forest. We traipsed into the great hall and sat down. I was chatting to Lily about why I didn't get an owl when silence rippled throughout the hall
"Now, the sorting ceremony will begin." Professor McGonagall said. I didn't hear most of what Professor McGonagall was saying all I heard was that 'Neve Slingo' was sorted into Ravenclaw, 'Heather Evans' was sorted into Gryffindor and 'Freya Gill' was in Slytherin. Once the feast was over McGonagall got up to the podium. "Now, I know that everyone will be very sleepy so I'll make this quick, 7th years stay behind there is some very big news. Prefects, lead your house to the dormitories. Goodnight" I looked at Dom and Alice, puzzled. I glanced over to the Slytherin table to see Al and him talking, looking confused.
"May, I have your attention please?" McGonagall had stepped to the podium once again
"You may be wondering why I have kept you behind. Well, a new law has been issued. Anyone in 7th year including those that are still 16, will have an arranged marriage because of the dwindling number of new witches and wizards, you have been partnered with someone most likely to produce magical children. Your booklet and letter telling you have been partnered with will arrive over the half term holidays" We were all stunned. The hall sat in silence until Dom got up and screeched
"WHAT, THE, FUCK?" at those words the entire hall burst into noise, most students yelling angrily at McGonagall.
Well, there you go. My new story. Co-written by my sister. Hope y'all enjoy.
