Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood on platform 9 ¾ looking at the big scarlet train. They were all nervous for the up coming year. Harry spoke first, "Well, I never thought I would be riding the Hogwarts Express again." Ron and Hermione nodded.

"I was surprised to receive my letter asking old 7th years to come and finish their schooling." Replied Ron.

Two weeks ago all the old 7th years received a letter from Hogwarts:

Dear Seventh Years,

You are asked to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding as a temporary eighth year..

Minerva McGonagall

Headmistress of Hogwarts

Hermione laugh, " Honestly Ronald. Did you really think that they would let us slide for not finishing the year?"

"I was hoping." Mumbled Ron.

Harry smiled, "Come on you two. Lets find a compartment." And with that, they boarded the train.

"Attention everyone!" called Professor McGonagall. Silence enveloped the Great Hall. "I bear some unexpected news from the Ministry."

Chatter arose in the hall once again, "What do you suppose it is?" Hermione asked Harry and Ron.

"Ho am I spst to no." Ron stated around a tart in his mouth.

"Sorry, but what was that?" Hermione asked.

Ron swallowed, " I said, how am I suppose to know. Didn't you hear me?"

"Swallow next time and maybe I will be able to in the future." Hermione retorted.

Harry interrupted before Ron could reply, "I don't know, but I don't have a good feeling about it."

Hermione nodded and opened my mouth to say something when Professor McGonagall started talking again. "Quiet, please! As I was saying, I have some news. A new law has been pasted that those seventeen to thirty will be matched and engaged unless already engaged or married."

Uproar filled the hall. Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged a look. A marriage law?

"Yes, a marriage law, or a marriage bond. To find your spouse the ministry has prepared a goblet of love. (A/N: sorry, cheesy I know. My bad) All of those eligible are already placed in it. I now ask for the first through sixth years to leave. The rest must stay.

As the young ones left Professor Sprout brought out a heart shaped goblet. Once the doors were closed the goblet flared with red lames.

"Now," continued McGonagall, "I will ask the goblet to reveal one couple at a time. Come you have found your match you must leave and go to your new rooms. I must warn you that once you are matched a bond forms. IT will start our weak, but strong enough for you to feel what the other person is feeling, if the other person is hurt for example, you will know. Also you will not be able to harm one other. Any questions?"

"Yes." Called Dean Thomas, "Can you break the bond?"

"No, Mr. Thomas. The bond can not be severed. If you try to it will cause incredible pain or even death. The ministry informs me that who ever is coupled is soul mates. Anything else?" She looked around, "Good."

She walked to the flaming goblet and said, "Reveal."

A piece of parchment shot up and landed in her out stretched palm. "Luna Lovegood." Luna stood up. "Luna, you are with Dean Thomas." Dean jumped to his feet with a wide grin plastered to his face. Once Dean joined Luna, Professor McGonagall said, "Congratulations. Here is your password. Filch will escort you to your room" When Dean and Luna had walked out she turned back to the goblet. "Reveal."

Another parchment jumped out. "Harry Potter." Ron and Hermione looked at Harry as he got shakily to his feet. He scanned the hall. Ginny's face went from pale to green and ended on red. She glared at McGonagall, "If he is paired with anyone other than me I will strangle them." She muttered.

Harry placed a soothing hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry. I will be paired with you."

"Harry, your partner is……Ginny Weasley." Ginny jumped up and planted a kiss on Harry's cheek. Harry blushed while Ron looked away. Hermione hugged Ginny and Harry, "Congrats you two!" After receiving their password they left the hall hand in hand.

Ron reached and touched the back of Hermione's hand, "Hermione….what….what if we aren't…." Hermione stopped him by placing two of my fingers on his lips.

"Shh, Ron. Just remember that I will love you no matter what happens, okay?" He nods and kisses her fingers. She smile.

"Ronald Weasley!" Called Professor McGonagall. Ron stood up but kept his hand in Hermione's. Hermione give his hand a tiny squeeze and receive on in return. "Mr. Weasley is with Cho Chang." Her heart plummeted to my feet as Cho stands up. Ron looks down at Hermione and she look at him before pushing him to Cho.

Seamus and Padma, Goyle and some girl from Ravenclaw named Lucy, Theo Nott and Parvati, and several others were called before only a few of us were left. "Pansy Parkinson." Pansy rose to her feet with a quick glace at Blaise. "Congratulations, you are with Mr. Longbottom." Neville gasped. He looked at Hermione with a panic look. She gives him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. Pansy actually smiled when Neville made his way up to her.

"Mr. Blaise Zabini." Blaise stood and walk towards Professor McGonagall. "Your fiancé is Miss Lavender Brown." Blaise froze. He turned slowly towards the Gryffindor table. Lavender squealed and leaped from the table and rush towards the frozen Slytherin. He barely had time to open his arms before Lavender was in them. He looked horrified. Hermione had to stifle a chuckle. Good luck Blaise.

"Draco Malfoy." I looked over at the Slytherin table. Malfoy looked around the hall as he got up. Hermione looked as well. There was only a girl form Hufflepuff….and her. I groaned. Great, I might get stuck with Malfoy. I rather have the Ravenclaw dude. "Very interesting." Said McGonagall, "The prince and the princess together." She gulped. No, it can't be. "Malfoy, you are with Miss Granger." I gasp and look at Malfoy. He looks just as shock. Hermione feel a tiny tug inside my chest. The bond!

She stand slowly and walk towards the front of the Great Hall. Malfoy met me halfway. "Malfoy." She say

"Granger." He nods. McGonagall hands us our password(faith) and they go out to meet Filch.
