Hi guys, so I wanted to write another fic as well as Dear James, so this fic was born!
It is a marriage law/soul bond fanfiction and I'm not overly sure about all of the pairings but check the description in the future.
It's AU, as Fred is alive (I just couldn't kill a Weasley). So are Remus and Sirius, but Tonks is dead.
When Arthur Weasley had paid the Prophet delivery owl, he opened the newspaper at the front page, as he did every morning. Like normal, his wife and soul mate, Molly Weasley nee Prewett, was standing over his shoulder. They were both staring, transfixed, at the headline, bold black text, on the front page. Oh, an article not by Rita Skeeter, which made it a reality. This only made it worse.
Molly walked over to the bottom of the stairs and called down her children (who were actually all of age, however they were all staying at the Burrow for Easter. 'You might want to read this,' she calls up, and as if forced, the seven Weasley offspring appear in the kitchen, looking at their father expectantly.
'So, children. The Prophet arrived this morning, and, guess what, due to the War, there's a Marriage Law in place,' Arthur tentatively said.
'Dad? What do you mean? What does the marriage law entail?' Fred Weasley asked his father.
'Son, it means that all the men between the ages of 17 and 37 that are currently unmarried or engaged (so this doesn't affect you and Fleur, Bill),' which made said boy exhale, he had been so anxious that he and his love could have had to divorce, 'will be sent a letter with the name of his soulmate on it whom he will have to marry by Midnight on the 1st January next year. Also your mate, or whoever is submissive in the relationship, will have to have given birth or be pregnant by the Summer Solstice next year. You will also have to consummate the marriage on the wedding night,' Molly explained, worried for her sons, Harry, Hermione and Ginny.
'Oh, and we just have to wait around to find out our soulmates?' asked an impatient Ron.
'Yes Ronald, and I hope that you are all pleased with your soulmates, as myself and your mother were,' replied their father.
Percy turned around to grab a quill to correct some punctuation on the Weasley Matriarch's shopping list, when he saw six owls flying towards the Burrow and one towards the Lovegood's house, obviously for Xeno.
'Mother, Father, the owls are here.'
Everybody turned to see Percy removing the letters from the owls and giving the owls a treat each. He then passed Charlie, Fred, George, Harry and Ron their letters and opening his himself. To say he was surprised with the content would be a lie, he was massively shocked that the person's name on the card was his soulmate, however he was glad that it was the person that he loved.
Looking around, he saw Ron with a disgusted look on his face, Fred gazing lovingly into Hermione's eyes, George looking shocked, Charlie confused and Harry close to tears.
'So, who've we all got?'
