Dear Miss Granger,

As you well know the war took a great toll on the wizarding world. After two years now our world is back up and running, thanks to everyone's help.

However one thing that is not improving is the lack of future wizards and witches. Unless this improves we will have some missing generations where there are no magical children.

This could be disastrous and so I, as the Minister of Magic, am imposing a marriage law, for everyone between the ages of 16 - 40 of whom are not already married. However the moment you opened this letter the proposal was made and so you are legally bound to your partner, meaning you cannot accept a proposal from anyone else apart from your new fiance.

Your chosen match has been selected through the Hogwarts's sorting hat, comparing everyones traits and characteristics. We are proud to tell you your match is Rabastan Lestrange.

You will be expected to marry your spouse within a year and then produce a child within the next one.

In order to prevent a future war we have decided to blur the bloodlines a bit, and so have matched Muggleborns with pure- bloods, therefore making the next generation consist mostly of half-bloods, stopping any blood supremacists beliefs that they might seek to instil into their future generations. To all the Muggleborns who are worrying about their safety, all pure-bloods have agreed to this, otherwise they would face the consequences below for not carrying out this law.

Now we understand that you may not be the closest of friends with your new fiancé but we urge you to make an effort. Anyone not coroportating with this new law will be made an example of and be treated most severely. If you do not marry your chosen partner within that time then we will be forced to snap your wand,exile you from the wizarding world and ban any contact with any kind of magical creature, human or otherwise.

There will be no exceptions.

Yours sincerely,

Kingsley Shackelbolt, Minister of Magic.
