Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter series.

Summary: Yes this is a marriage law fanfiction; I really liked some of them and thought I might try one. I tweaked the law a bit to fit the story I've been flirting with though, instead of marrying a muggle-born, all eligible witch/wizards over the age of seventeen with both parents having been a witch and wizard must marry a muggle. This is to try and prevent discrimination though amount of magical blood in the future. This story is between Sirius and an original character named Kari (A distant relative of Hermione's whom she is very close to). Very important, Many of the character's who died in the books are alive (Obviously, Sirius is alive) like Fred and Mad-Eye because I died on the inside when I found out they got killed off. Wow this was a long summary, getting to the story now.

Molly Weasley's POV

Arthur had been rather distant lately, and when I inquired about his behavior I got the usual vague answer: "Just Ministry stuff dear, nothing to worry yourself about." Well I had never been one to give up and it seemed that this 'Ministry Stuff' was more important than what my husband was letting on to. Percy was equally distant and so were Tonks, Kingsley and Alastor (who was recently reinstated). Dumbledore was included in these ministry meetings and always looked troubled when he came here afterwards. Finally when I had had enough and was just about to give all of them a good piece of my mind, Dumbledore called a meeting at Grimauld Place.

"Now that we all are here it is time for everyone to be informed of the current going-ons at the ministry. Despite our best efforts the ministry has released a, rather large, list of eligible people from the muggle community. These people have close social and emotional ties to a relative possessing magic and are to be married by the end of the year to an eligible witch or wizard who has at least one parent born a witch or wizard whether or not the parent is muggleborn, if not, then a spouse will be selected for them. Our ministry will inform the proper authorities of these muggles and their situation. Now I know that many of you are wondering what this has to do with us, well I would not bring this up if we had not discovered that one of the muggles upon this list is related to our own Ms. Granger," He paused while the buzz of discussion and outrage went around the table, Hermione was sitting right next to me, the poor dear went very pale at the news.

"Don't worry dear, everything will work itself out. You'll see." I said patting her hand.

"Well, we all know that there are still some active death eaters out there who continue to torment muggles and muggleborns alike and if they realize that Hermione has a relation to this young lady they may very well petition for their marriage to her," Dumbledore continued, "We obviously cannot just leave her to the mercy of those few death eaters who, might I add, are still very influential."

"What do you mean 'petition for their marriage to her' are you saying that the muggles don't have to agree?"

"George, do you really believe it would be difficult for them to throw the imperious curse over a muggle without them realizing it? This law goes into even deeper detail concerning the position these muggles will be placed in once married. The only thing the ministry took into consideration was efficiency. The muggles have no power in the marriage at all, their spouse has complete control over them, their possessions, where they are allowed to be… if their magical spouse wanted them to, the muggle would have to be tucked into bed at six thirty in the afternoon."

"You have got to be kidding me Tonks. There is no way the ministry would approve this."

"You have to understand Hermione the ministry is terrified, nobody knows who to trust after they realized how easily it was infiltrated. Anything to wipe out the pureblood lines is easily accepted. They say you only need one parent but the most pressure is being applied to those without a trace of nonmagic blood, and those who were known death eaters that surrendered," Kingsley explained gently.

"Which relative of mine is getting married?" Hermione's voice trembled only slightly.

"I believe her name is Kari Liberty Hunt-Granger. Your fourth cousin thrice removed." Moody said.

"But she lives in America; the British Ministry of Magic has no power to force her into this marriage. I'm sure the Americans would not agree to this."

"They already have, and measures are being taken not only there but everywhere else for similar laws to be put in motion. It's getting more and more difficult to hide our world from the muggles. Especially since witches and wizards are being born into muggle homes, and the muggles have giant metal err… What are they called Arthur?"

"Satellites, I believe."

"Satellites, we can't keep up with it all and eventually somebody will slip up in a way we can't fix. We were able to hide for a long time but within a few centuries the magical world and the muggle world will meet and now is the time to begin the transition," Remus finished.

There was silence around the table, everyone was lost in their own thoughts. Nobody was sure what to do or say. Well if there was any time to ask now was my chance.

"What exactly does the law say about these marriages? What are the requirements for Kari and the Wizard she'll marry?"

Dumbledore gave me a long tired look and began to read the law to us. When he was halfway through Hermione left the meeting and went upstairs. I'd go and talk with her when she calmed down.

Dumbledore finished and looked around at the men.

"We need a capable volunteer."

"For what?" Sirius asked walking in late from the fireplace.

His shirt was rumpled and his pants were halfway unzipped; his hair was a mess and he had the most ridiculous grin on his face. He had just crawled out of some witches bed. Needless to say I was angry, one of our most important meetings, in his house and he arrives late.

Just then I had the most brilliant idea.

"Ah, Sirius just the man we need." I said brightly with a fake smile.

"For what?..." He knew I was never nice when he looked like that unless I had a plan for him.

"Don't you see Albus? He's perfect, not too old, he might even look younger after returning from the veil. He's a very powerful wizard and has no money problems, you hired him and Remus on for a stable job." Everyone was looking at Sirius more and more intensely and I saw many order members nodding their heads, meanwhile Sirius was looking more and more uncomfortable as I continued. "His house is secret and secure, he too is very influential in the ministry whether he likes it or not, all of that plus more plus we all know that he has no problems with women whatsoever. He is perfect for this."

George nodded and looked at Sirius.

"So will you do it?"

"Do what?"

Now here was the tricky part, getting him to agree.

"Help Hermione." Fred said winking at me to show he knew what I was up to.

"Well, sure. I guess. But what does she need help with?"

"Family issues." Ron chuckled.

Sirius looked at Harry.

"Harry. What. Did I. Agree to?"

"You agreed to get married."

Before he could protest Hermione shot down the stairs and hugged Sirius tightly and let go only to grab onto his arms.

"You did! Oh Sirius thank you! I mean I was so worried but I know you'll be good to her. I mean not that nobody else would but… Thank you. Oh my god she'll be safe and so close and I can help her transition to this. Oh this is… bloody fantastic! Promise me you'll take good care of her. Promise?"

Sirius looked around at everyone and everyone looked expectantly at him. His gaze rested on me and I knew that I looked smug. He looked like he wanted to say no but then glanced at Hermione beaming up at him and relented.

"All right, I promise. But you all better be bloody glad that I'm going through with this. Now why the hell am I doing this?"
