Chapter 4

New & Cramp

Great Hall

Everyone sat silently as they waited for Professor McGonagall to say what she needed to say. The Gryffindor Misters herself seemed off a little. She seemed not happy with the information she was about to deliver.

"I am afraid the Ministry of Magic has passed a new law." Whispers went around the room as everyone wondered what the new law could be.

"The new law is a marriage law. The Ministry has picked a partner of each and every one of you to marry. Once married, you will be expected to conceive a child before the end of this year. If you refuse to participate in this law, you and your partner will have our wand snapped and will very likely not find be able to find a job in the Wizarding World." Professor McGonagall paused in her speech to let this new information settle in the students heads. As she looked around she could see different emotions playing across each of her students.

She felt sorry, oh so sorry, for her students. She didn't want to force them in to anything they didn't want to do. And she very well put up a fight with the Ministry of Magic herself. She didn't think it was fair, decline in the wizarding population or not, but she did see the reason for it and she couldn't argue with people that were over her head.

"Tomorrow I will give you all a pamphlet with everything you need to know about this new rule. You will also learn who your partner is, and I will also inform all of the other years tomorrow morning too. After that you will still go to your classes, but tomorrow when you find out who your partner I suggest you and him or her start get together to decide on something for your flat you two will be living in 'til the end of the year. The finished product for your flat will be due at the end of the week to Mr. Filch. Due all of you understand?" Professor McGonagall looked around the room as variety of nods went around the room.

"Now that, that is over you are dismissed."

-Brelynn & Jessica-

After that astonishing new of information, all of the students went to their proper houses. As Brelynn and Jessica walked in to the Gryffindor common room, they were met with a lot of raised voices talking about the new law and what it entitled.

"I'm going to bed, good night Jessica." Brelynn was very little affected by this new law, she preferably didn't want her wand snapped so she would deal with whoever she got and not complain….too much.

"You're going to bed after that! Really?" Jessica was bewildered of how her best friend could just not be affected with what just happened. Not be wondering who she was to get or anything at all.

"Yes, I'm tired. My head hurts from all of this noise about the new law. And my hand has official cramped up from earlier." Brelynn spoke with exhausted ringing clear through her voice as she massaged her cramped hand.

I shouldn't of drawn so much on the train. Brelynn thought to herself as she looked from Jess to her disfigured hand. But Spell just looked too cute not to draw and Jessica just kept blushing, DAMN IT! Ugh this shit hurts!

Brelynn was not in the slightest good moods now that she had cramped her drawing hand.

"But Brelynn, aren't you even the slightest bit curious bout who our going to be put with or anything at all." Jessica was now becoming pissed quiet quickly and to Brelynn it seem for now reason.

"Yes Jessica, yes I am curious, I'm always curious no matter what it is. I always want to know more, you know that. But I since I have no control over who I get or when I get to know this new stuff, so I'm not going to really care right now. As of right now I'm tired, its late, we all should be getting to bed we all have a big day tomorrow.

Unless if any of you want to get a detention the first week back for falling asleep in class…I thought not. Good Night." Brelynn's voice rose exponentially as her temper got the better of her. The whole common room had gone silent to listen to the argument between the two normally silent Gryffindors. It's not every day you witness a fight between them.

With that being said Brelynn turned around and walked up the stairs leading to the girls dormitory.

-Blaise & Draco-

"You've got to be kidding me!" Blaise yelled hands pulling at his hair as him and Draco walked in to the now empty Slytherin common room. They had been the last two to leave the Great Hall and took there time getting back to the dungeons.

"Calm down mate." Was Draco's brilliant reply

"Calm down. CALM DOWN! Are you out of your mind, I was planning on asking Jessica out this week hopefully tomorrow if I could have gotten her alone!" Blaise was practically freaking out, well as much as a Slytherin could freak out.

Draco just sat down in one of the many green chairs sitting in front of a blazing fire place. He just looked at his overacting best mate with a leveled expression. The blonde himself just wanted to get it over with,

he didn't want to waste time with all of this prolonging.

"How can you just be so calm like that? I had everything, more or less, planned out!" Blaise was passing the length of the common room, flailing his arms around him trying to get his point across to the bored looking blonde.

"Blaise just go to sleep. It'll help…hopefully…" Draco whispered the last part to himself to were his dark haired mate wouldn't hear him.

How was that?

I would really appreciate it if you would review it, even if it is to tell me I'm a horrible writer.

But Thank you for reading.
