**Intro**
A What If story!
James, Lily, Remus, and Sirius all accept Lord Voldemort's invitation to be Death Eaters. Harry is born (no scar now though). His mother has 2 other kids (Twin Girls, Priscilla and Grace, 2 years younger than Harry). Voldemort now runs Hogwarts as it normally is but he teaches a lot more dark magic. He also has Death Eaters running the ministry. James is Minister of Magic.
***New Rules in Wizarding world by Voldemort's rule***
Unforgivable curses are now allowed, Azkaban is destroyed, death isn't illegal, and all muggles and muggle-borns, known as 'muddys', must be married off to purebloods, assigned by the ministry, so as to eventually purify magic blood. These marriages were to happen within a week of assignment, and were to be consummated during the honeymoon. Cameras were hidden in every bedroom, so as to make sure consummation had happened. If a child was born unmagical, they may be sent to special classes to learn how to be a wizard so they can marry into a wizard family. Pureblood wizards may marry two people, a wizard of their choosing and the one assigned to them by the ministry. It is legal for the pureblood wizards to keep their assigned spouse hidden from the world. ***Other explanations will be put in the story later as needed***
Chapter 1: Marriage assignment
Hermione sat quietly. Her mind wandered as her eyes looked around the room. The faces of the muggle-borns and muggles stood out. They were pale, tear-stained, and puffy from worrying and crying. The meeting today could easily mean the end of many of their normal lives. The room they were in was bigger than many rooms Hermione had even been in. Today was a holiday now. It was officially known as Annual Purifying Day and the following week was unofficially known as the week of tears, due to the tears shed that week as they were married off.
Hermione was especially upset because last year a young girl was married off to a man three times her age and had the killing curse sent her way when she refused to marry him. If she was to be married off she hoped it would be Ron. They had been friends her whole Hogwarts experience. When her mother was tortured and married off to an American wizard and her father killed, she had no other choice than to be sent to a Wizarding school. Hogwarts seemed like the best but when poor Hermione was ridiculed and felt too depressed to live with her mother, Ron invited her to live with him. Over their many years of friendship, they had fallen in love. The last summer they had lost their virginities to each other and have an even better bond, but today it could all change. She would be married off to a pure-blood and Ron would be married to a 'muddy'. Hermione had held back the tears unlike many others. The announcer, Lily Potter, her other friend, Harry's mother was naming the 'muddys' and their soon-to-be spouses up to the front to be given wedding plans. The last name that was called was Graddett, a muggle that was very pretty, had been married off to Vincent Crabbe. Everyone shuttered except Graddett who actually seemed pleased.
The room was full of noise but Hermione only heard one thing.
"Granger, Hermione. Please step forward for your assignment," Lily demanded in a sweet, strong voice. Hermione walked up slowly, knowing if Ron's name isn't called her tear barrier will break. She tried to fake a smile as she reached the stage. Time seemed to slow as her eyes met Ron's. She couldn't help but shed a tear when she saw him cover his eyes to hide his own tears which have started to fall. Time went back to normal as Lily spoke again. "Miss Granger will be married off to a pure-blood boy who is extremely loyal and caring, his family is nice and very true to their beliefs," she trailed on, but Hermione stopped listening. The little bit of explanation she heard sounded exactly like Ron. Her spirit seemed to lift and brighten, but as she was about to flash a huge smile, the name was announced. "Mister Draco Malfoy shall be Miss Granger's spouse." Soft clapping sounded from a few sections and gasps rung out throughout the hall. Draco had a defined frown across his face.
