Disclaimer: I do not own the characters for this story or the song it is based on. J.K Rowling owns the Harry Potter Verse. Blackeyed Peas are the artist of the song Where Is The Love. This story is loosely based on that song.

A/N: This story although loosely based on a song has a few triggers in it. Even though the song is about the aftermath of 9-11 I believe it fits the aftermath of the war at least in an Alternate Universe. Triggers for this story include rape, physical and verbal abuse. I am happily watching Stephen King's The Stand while I'm typing up this first chapter. I do hope you guys enjoy it.

The war had only been over for a few days. Even though Harry had killed Voldemort, the golden trio was still at the top of the most wanted list. Right at the end of the war before they took Hogwarts they took the ministry as well. Harry had gone into hiding soon after the war. He had figured out that the death eaters wouldn't leave him alone and let him live out his life. Lucius Malfoy and Thaddeus Nottwere the two in charge of everything now that Voldemort was gone. They had tasked themselves with trying to find Harry and bring justice to the wizarding world. At least they tried to bring their sort of justice to the wizarding world.

Lucius was sitting behind his desk at the ministry when someone just barged into his office. "I have a spectacular idea, and it may just help draw undesirable number one out of hiding. I propose that we write up a marriage law in our favor of course. All mudbloods except for Granger will either be killed or we make them servants to us, servants that are lower then our house elves. As for Granger, well she will be matched of course. We'll just have to make sure she's matched with a smart, but high profile death eater. I was personally thinking either Draco or Theo should be matched with her." Thaddeus Nott was the one who had intruded on Lucius in his office.

"Well, well Thaddeus I do like the way you think. I do believe though that Draco is the best choice for the mudblood. He will be able to keep her in line." Lucius leaned back in his desk chair and put his feet on top of the paperwork sitting on his desk. "Now tell me more about this law of yours?"

"No no no that just won't work. We need someone that she doesn't have a history with. Draco was a right little shit to her in school. She's smart, she'll see right through that. We need to make sure she's matched with Theo. He's creative and can keep her in line without abusing her, at least where people will see. Maybe we should get the other death eaters sons in on this as well. We can have a bidding war at the marriage law ceremony." Thaddeus went over to the door, he was getting ready to call in the rest of the death eaters that had sons.

"I do like that idea even better then us just fighting out whoever gets to have her. Before we call them in let's draft up a letter and send it to everyone in the wizarding world, at least the ones that are being matched up." Lucius sat up straighter and got Thaddeus to sit down across from him.

Two hours later they had a letter drafted up, and were calling in their sons and the rest of the death eaters. "Thaddeus here has had a grand idea. We are going to be passing a marriage law and in the hopes of drawing out Potter we will be matching up the mudblood with one of our sons. We have decided to send out the letter in the morning and then when everyone shows up to be matched there will be a bidding war for her. Who ever is left out can have their pick of the littlest weasley. I've heard she's quite good in bed, but with a body like hers she will be making some very lonely and lucky death eater a perfect wife. If I wasn't already married I would be putting a bid in for her myself." Everyone was looking at Lucius like he had gone crazy when he said the last part.

"Father stop it, I will most definitely be telling mother if you don't. As for putting in a bid for the mudblood I think we can all do that." He looked at the rest of the young death eaters. "Does anyone not want to bring her down a peg or two? She was always looking down on us in school. Now is our chance for some payback. I for one can't wait to see who she gets stuck with for the rest of her miserable existence." Draco was serious for a minute and then he got an evil gleam in his eye and smirked. He was almost laughing. He was thinking about what he could do to the mudblood, if she was forced to marry him.

She will be mine if I have anything to say about it. I won't let Draco get ahold of her. Of course it's possible that I may feel in a sharing mood every once in awhile. I think I could possibly share with Draco and Theo. Rowle was getting excited. Other then the Nott's and the Malfoy's his family was one of the richest in the wizarding world. He could let Zabini or Flint have Ginny. She had a fiery temper alright from what he could remember, but he was more interested in bringing the Gryffindor Princess and 1/3 of the Golden Trio down a few notches, or should he say bedposts. When he was done with her she wouldn't know what had hit her. "Well when do we send out these letters and when is the matching ceremony. I can't wait to get my hands on my witch."

"We send them out before we leave for home. I want everyone worrying about their matches as soon as they get the letter." Thaddeus was pacing the floor. "Everyone is dismissed. Theo you will stay a bit and Draco we need you to go to Kingsley and make him sign off on these letters. Use whatever means necessary do you hear me?"

Draco nodded and took off out the door. Theo stayed behind. "You wanted to talk to me father?"

"Yes, come with me over here. " Thaddeus put up a muffliato spell and notice me not. "Do whatever is in your power to get the mudblood Granger to be you're wife. I know we don't really want our family tree sullied but we must draw Potter out. I feel that you are the best for the job. I really don't care how much of our fourtune you spend to get her considering you're paying the ministry anyways and we all work for the ministry."

Theo nodded. "Yes father." He really didn't want to even touch the mudblood. He had to make a deal with Rowle. He saw the way he was looking when Granger was mentioned with the marriage law. I will work out a deal with Rowle. I will probably have to pay him or something so he can outbid me and Draco put together. I'll talk to him later on.

At that moment Draco had come back to the office with Kingsley in tow. It seems he had to imperious him to get him to follow him. Thaddeus took down his spells and walked over to them. "Draco, how did you get him to come along?"

"It was a simple spell really. I had to imperio him." Turning to Kingsley he point to the desk. "All of the letters going out are there on the desk. Sign them and then you can go home." Draco gave Kingsley the order since he was under his Imperious spell.

Kingsley signed all the letters and then shook his head. While he was clearing his mind, Thaddeus had taken it upon himself to remove the letters from the ministers site. "What was I doing here again?" Kingsley was talking to himself outloud again. "Good day gentleman, I believe I will be going home. You should think about doing the same thing."

"We have some unfinished business here, but we're on our way out too minister. Don't let us stop you from leaving." Lucius was quite skilled at the art of manipulations and he was as silver tongued as he could be. Kingsley left the office without another word.

Draco called in several owls to deliver the letters. " I wish I could see the look on the mudbloods face when she gets her letter." Soon after the letters were sent out the rest of the death eaters went home.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Hermione had been staying with the Weasley's since the war had ended. She had just come down to dinner when the owls had arrived. They all immediately noticed the Ministry seal on the letters. She looked over at Arthur and Percy. They worked at the Ministry still even though it was run by the death eaters. She thought they may have had some clue about what was going on, but it seems that they were as clueless as they could be. There were 9 letters there, one for each the Weasley siblings and Hermione. It seems Harry had gotten one too, but since he was in hiding the owl didn't know where to drop it off.

"Why did Harry get a letter if he's in hiding?" Hermione was reaching towards the letters before Molly stopped her.

"My dear girl, do you not remember who the ministry is run by nowadays? I would bet all the gallons in our vault that there is a tracking charm on Harry's letter. We have to get rid of it. We can't let them know that we have no idea where he is." Molly levitated Harry's letter and threw it into the flames. "Now the rest of you ay as well open your letters."

Hermione reached out and touched her letter. Nothing seemed to happen, but back at Malfoy manor they knew she had received her letter. After opening and reading the letters there was a ton of outrage. "They can't fucking do this to us. I won't stand for it. I feel like giving Kingsley a piece of my mind, but I know that he didn't do this willingly."

"What, what do your letters say?" Molly and Arthur were curious.

Hermione shoved her letter across the table for them to read. "It seems not only do we not live in a free world anymore, but our marriage is taken out of our hands as well. They have set a marriage law and we have to comply with it or face the consequences."

Dear Ms. Granger,

Since the end of the war we feel that not everyone has done their part to try and repopulate the wizarding world. It seems that you are one of the lucky ones. You were hand picked for this law specifically. We are instating a marriage law and you must be matched accordingly. Please show up at the ministry promptly at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to be matched up. The rules are as follows:

Must get married within the month

Must consummate the marriage the night you are married

All charms, potions, contraceptives of any sort including muggle are forbidden

Must have a child within the year and 3 more within the following 15 years

If having trouble conceiving you must go to a mediwitch of the ministries choosing to see what the matter is. If infertile then you may either look into divorce or magical surrogacy

Only children from two pureblood families can inherit. All other children may still be born, but they can not inherit.

Wifes have no rights. They may not fire the staff or anyone or anything that works for their husbands. They have to be under their husbands thumbs and control at all times. Force will be used if necessary.

Husbands may do whatever they want with their wives.

Wifes may not deny their husbands advances at anytime or anyplace

When children reach the age of 5 they are required to go to death eater school

If the wife cheats the husband may penalize her in any way that he chooses. If he cheats, the wife is not allowed to do anything at all.

Medical checks are necessary every few months. It doesn't matter if you are trying to conceive or not. You must go get checked out.

You may not back out of this law, if you do you will either be killed or sent to Azkaban. It all depends upon your blood status.

At the wedding fidelity charms will be placed on the wife only

Wives can not hold jobs

Sincerely

Kingsley Shacklebolt

"I can't believe that Kingsley would let a law like this pass. I have no rights, Ginny has no rights. I would almost prefer Azkaban over this law. I just hope I get someone who will treat me with the respect I deserve." Hermione was fit to be tied. She was furious. With one law all of her dreams and her rights were taken away from her in one fell swoop.

"I suppose you all better get up to bed so you can go to the ministry tomorrow." Arthur was just as furious as Hermione, but he knew there was no sense in fighting this law. He knew someone with money had passed it.

The next day dawned bright and early for the girls. "Well Gin, I suppose we had better get dressed, eat and then make our way to the ministry. I just hope we don't get someone too bad." Hermione had gotten up and was digging through Ginny's wardrobe for clothes for herself and the younger girl. She laid out a emerald green dress for Ginny and found herself a Silver one.

Going downstairs they met with the rest of the Weasley's and ate a light breakfast. Hermione's stomach was in knots. She didn't know what was going to happen today and she couldn't eat much. After she was done she got up from the table. "Well I'm going to go ahead and get this over with. Anyone else coming with me?"

The rest of the Weasley's nodded their heads. "For what it's worth Hermione, I hope you get one of my sons." Molly was there to give each of them a hug and wish them luck.

They all left to go to the ministry. Once there they were all lead to a huge ballroom on the ground floor. They used this room only on special occasions and it was mostly for huge meetings. Taking a seat Hermione waited for things to get started. Soon enough it came time for everyone to be matched up.

Lucius stepped up to the podium at the front of the room. "We will be doing things a little differently today. Normally we blood match everyone, but today since there are two very special ladies with us, we will be having a bidding war. If Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley, could step up here please?" He saw them moving through the crowd to get to the stage. "Ahhh yes, it seems you have dressed for the occasion no? Anyways, we will start with you Ms. Weasley. I'll start the bidding at 200 gallons. Do I hear 200 gallons, anyone 200 gallons?"

Lucius looked around the floor until he saw someone raise a sign. "250 anyone, 250 gallons?"

Way back in the back Blaise raised up his hand. "I'll give you 100,000 gallons right now for Ms. Weasley."

Lucius looked around the room, surely Blaise couldn't want her that much could he? "100,00 gallons going once, going twice. Sold to Mr. Blaise Zabini for 100,000 gallons." Turning to Ginny, "I believe you're match has been made Ms. Weasley please go find Mr. Zabini and you two are free to leave and talk over the wedding plans. Now for Ms. Granger, I'll open the floor for 500 gallons, do I hear 500 gallons anyone?"

As soon as he got the words out of his mouth the real battle started. Draco threw up his hand for 500 gallons. The next was Theo for 900 gallons. The fight kept on going and going until finally Rowle threw up a hand and hollered out. "500,000,000 gallons." Lucius looked a tad surprised. He thought Theo or Draco would get her, but then again he did open the floor to any and all death eaters that wanted to bid on her.

"Sold for 500 million gallons to Thorfin Rowle. If you will please come up and collect your prize Mr. Rowle. It seems that she isn't going to willingly go to you." Lucius turned back to the crowd and continued to match people off.

Thorfinn came up and threw Hermione over his shoulder and stalked back out of the room. "Princess, you really need to stop squirming. You have no idea how much that's turning me on. I'm not much of a man if I take you before we're married now am I?"

"You won't be taking me at all. You put me down this instance, you….you… you blonde barbarian." Hermione was trying to fight her way out of his ironclad grip.

"I don't think so. You will be begging me to take you by the time we're married and then you'll want it every night. You're lucky that Marcus Flint didn't have enough Gallons in his vault to outbid me. Theo was on the fence about getting you, and Malfoy has other plans. He didn't want you much either. I'm the best shot you have at this law Princess. You better enjoy it." Thorfinn was smirking as he said this and once they reached the floos he set her down for a minute just to grab a pinch of powder. Picking her back up he stepped into the fire hollering Rowle Castle.
