Ch 1:
Miss Granger,
We are writing to inform you that are eligible for Act 913 the Marriage Law. You have two weeks to get married to a wizard of your choice. If you do not, then when the two weeks are up we will pick someone for you. Our choice at that time will be final.
Once you are married you must have intercourse with your spouse at least once a week until you are with child. Birth control, both Muggle and Wizarding are hence forth now illegal and any person caught in violation of this will face harsh consequences. If conception of a child does not happen within six months, both you and your spouse will under go testing to make sure you are both fertile. If it is found that one or both are not fertile then the marriage will be annulled and proper arrangements will be made depending on the case. If these rules are not followed then the marriage will be classified as invalid, and you will be forced to marry someone else.
Have a good day,
Dolores Umbridge
Head officer of Act 913.
Hermione was stunned. She though "No, they can not do this too me, what did I ever do wrong? I thought things were suppose to be better now that the war was over." That was one of the things the light side fought for was freedom from oppression. Forcing women to be brood mares and threatening them with prison and other things was not what they fought for. Yes, since the end of the war, the number of babies born with magic had been decreasing at a very rapid rate, mainly due to in-breeding so the ministry came up with a stupid idea, a marriage law. Every Muggleborn female over the age of seventeen had to be married to a Pureblood of marriageable age.
The main idea of this was to stop interbreeding, and according to ministry healers, Muggleborns would bring in new DNA to the Wizarding world which would in turn lead to, increasing the magical power and strength of any new children.

"Hermione, what in gods name are you glaring at?" Ron's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Hermione looked over at Ron in disgust "Ronald, eat with your mouth shut. You are spitting food everywhere. It is a letter saying that I am eligible for that stupid marriage law"
"Oh, well then you're buggered" he said. "Why?" Hermione asked. Ron turned and looked directly at Hermione with a smirk on his face. That smirk disturbs her but he still hasn't got the Malfoy smirk down and probably never will. Ron says "because who in their right mind would marry a plain, bossy, buck-toothed know it all like you?"
Hermione fork froze on it way to her mouth, "What, why would he say that?" she thought frowning. "W-what did you say Ronald" she asked with venom in her voice. Ron flinched slightly but before he could answer Harry spoke up. "What he means Hermione is that we" he points to Ron, Ginny, and himself, "do not think anyone would want to marry someone who thinks she is better than everyone else and we are tired of your holier than-thou attitude. We do not need you anymore, and you always suck all the fun out of any room you enter. Who in their right mind would want to marry a stuck up snob like you?"
"Did you not listen; we do not like you and never did. You were just handy to have around when we needed answers and homework help. Sure you helped with the war but things change and well we do not need you now, so why do you go away and leave us alone so we can finally enjoy life" Ginny joined in with a look on her face like she was a cat that got the biggest blow of cream.
"Harry, guys why are you saying this?" Hermione asked tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall in front of them. "Because we never really liked; you we just felt guilty for almost getting you killed first year. Then we found that you were handy when it came to helping us get better grades, and now Harry has Ginny, and I have Lavender. They are both smart enough and pretty; we do not need the best grades anymore the Auror academy will accept us because we are war heroes so we do not need or want you anymore." Ron stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "In other words, love, fuck off" finished Ginny.

Hermione got up from the table held her head high and walked out angrily with magic crackling around her. She did not notice that Harry, Ron and Ginny had looks of pain and horror on their faces, not from guilt of hurting their one time supposed friend but from burns on their hand were their silverware had burned them and from the boils that no one could see forming on their rear ends.
Once outside of the great hall she ran to her room. She through herself on the bed and screamed out her frustration, sadness, anger and pain. She was pissed off beyond belief. She thought to herself "I am furious! I have done everything for them! I gave up everything! I helped them when they needed it, when everyone else hated them I stood up for them! No one else, not Ginny, not Lavender, no ME!
Her anger got the best of her and she began to scream and shout and throw things. Books were thrown across the room; a chair was thrown out a window. As she picked up more and more things, she continued throwing them all over the place. Finally a loud voice interrupted her, "STOP!"
She froze then slowly turned around, wide eyed and though the newly formed silence an "Ahh shit" was heard
