The war was over. Finally. The light side had triumphed, and so to avoid Askaban many 'turned', and claimed the imperius curse all along. So, in theory, all was well between the two reconciled sides. In theory that is. In reality, while pretences were kept up around the Ministry and its officials, hostility reigned behind closed doors.
Things might have continued as they were, was it not for a sharp-eyed young intern, Percy Weasley. He came up woth an idea to use the greatest weapon of all, love. It took several weeks, but the potion was finally completed, and letters sent out to all those in the correct age group.
Dear sir/madame,

We hope for immediate success and trust that you will do every thing in your power to further this operation. On behalf of the Minister of Magic himself, we hereby announce that you are just a few steps away from finding your soulmate.
1. Attached are a questionnaire and a quill enchanted with veritaserum. Complete the questionnaire.
2. Send it off and wait! Your results will come back in under three days!
3. Use the portkey attached to travel to a Ministry chosen apartment complex. There you will meet your soulmate and shate an apartment with them.
4. In several years, when a Ministry Official deems your relationship genuine, you and your partner can move to a more family friendly apartment/house with less surveilance.
Are you excited? So are we!
Written on behalf of the Minister of Magic,
