It was a simple evening in the Great hall calm and peacful and as of recently the Ministry set a new law in place after the second wizarding war, the amount of wizards had decreased by eleven percent, so a law was put in place to increase the number of wizards and witches alike. So a random draw of people would be chosen to marry, whether they like it or not, and have to have a child within two years of there marriage. Five owls flew in for dinner, to presumably unite under the marriage law, this law also states that age doesn't matter unless under seventeen.
Albus Dumbeldore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, opened the first scroll. "Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood are to be united in holy matrimony under the marriage law. I wish the two of you luck." Albus boomed aloud for all the student body to hear.
The students clapped and cheered for the lucky couple, happy for the two and knew they'd make an excellent couple.
"Alright students the next pairing is Hermione Granger and... Professor Severus Snape" Albus said uncomfortably, as students wondered what was going through the Ministry's head and how Hermione would react.
Hermione gave an uncomfortable smile obviously not sure what had just happened and still trying to gather her thoughts.
Albus continued with the next scroll afraid of who the Ministry has paired next. "Christopher Wood and Xiomara Hooch, a match made, never could have gone better." said a relived Albus.
Sutudents cheered and were more happy for the couple, even though Xiomara was a Professor, it was a match made in heaven.
"The last scroll unites oh Harry Potter and..." Albus trailed off and Harrys best friends ,Ron and Hermione could hear Harry whispering, "Please be Ginny, Please be Ginny" with his fingers crossed. "Professor Minerva Mcgonagall" Albus said with a gulp obviously uncomfortable with the pairing but forced a smile on his face."May all the lucky couples live a happy marriage." Albus ended with raising his goblet in the air trying to lower the tension in the room. Everyone raised their glass and afterward, Hermione, Ron, and Harry left towards the common room.
"Oh Merlin's beard I'm going to have to marry MCGONAGALL!NO LESS HAVE A CHILD WITH HER!WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THE MINISTRY THINKING?!" Harry ranted until he heard the fat lady's portrait moving.
"Harry? May I have a word?" Mcgonagall said uncomfortably and blushed. "O-of course professor." Harry said stunned to know his future wife was in the common room with him, but followed the professor as ordered.
