Explosion at The Ministry

The Department of Mysteries had a explosion yesterday that affects every person in Wizarding Britain. According to an announcement yesterday these 'pulses' were a mistake and they were testing antidote but things went awry at the last moment which caused the first wave. Afterward we felt two more that were supposed to calm the effects of the first one.

Ladies and gentlemen theses were matching pulses. Apparently, our population has been diminishing during the last 50 years and after the war they department has been making ways to better the situation in order for us not to become a forgotten civilization. These pulses were not supposed to come out in the open until the situation of the population was investigated properly and public opinion was taken into account.

Alas this is not what happened. Right now some people might feel the need to go out in search of their match, which is completely normal.

To address the other pulses, they were sent out on purpose to try to cancel out the effects of the first pulse. But these antidote pulses did not create the desired effect, they instead dulled the initial pulse.

The Department of Mysteries did indeed do something right at least. With the first pulse they were able to record all the couples that were made and everyone on the ledger will be getting a letter with the name of their paramour and an explanation of the effects and procedures of the pulses.

According to The Department Head Leander Geheimnis and Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the pulses are permanent right now they are still trying to investigate how it will affect future generations but they do apologize sincerely.

Updates will be sent regularly about the pulses.

Pulses Wreak Havoc On Previous Relationships

As you have probably read, The Pulses are matching people left and right. But what about previous couplings.

After the war, people have been getting together left and right not one person of interest has been single and everyone has tried their best to find the perfect match. Just to find out that the perfect match is not so perfect.

Ron Weasley, war hero, best friend of the Boy-Who-Lived, Harry Potter and receiver of Merlin's First Class reward was engaged, I repeat WAS engaged to the beautiful Lavender Brown just last Tuesday when the pulse went off. Come to learn that they are just not meant to be.

According to a source that decided to remain anonymous. "They are all broken up about the fact they are bond to be with other people. The Matriarch of the Weasley family seemed pretty broken up about the fact the her youngest son was not going to get married soon."

Almost all couples, that have been brought together by war are now dissolved. One couple that has been a huge surprise has been that of the relationship of Harry Potter and the famous Chaser of the HolyHead Harpies Ginevra 'Ginny' Weasley. They have been together since their days at Hogwarts before the war and now being matched with other people has struck a chord in their relationship.

They real scandal here is who the dear Ms. Hermione Granger is matched with. She has not been seen with anyone after the war despite getting many request for her company. After a few years of travel she has still managed to remain single. Although we did see some sparks and rumors about her being with a number of men none have real stuck.

According to a source that was at the ministry during the time of the pulse. was seen being escorted by Severus Snape no mystery there, they have been seen working together but what if they are indeed matched. Now that would be a story to tell.

I will keep you updated on our famous war heroes and who they matched with. Who wouldn't want to get their hands on that list of matches just to satisfy our curiosity. But then again who doesn't like a little surprise with their lunch.

Snape, seriously, Professor Snape, Severus Snape, that's who they think that I was matched with. Did no one see the kiss that happened in the atrium, in front of everyone. Like everyone, everyone was watching, staring at us kiss. I know I didn't threaten anybody at witch weekly, my best guess the Malfoy's must want to keep this under wraps for a while until it is for sure that Malfoy and I are indeed a match.

To be honest this benefits me. Tap! Tap! Tap! I turned towards the sound coming from my kitchen window. Looks like an official Ministry owl. I open the window and the bird swoops in and lands on the my kitchen island, dropping a letter.

I see the ministry seal, this must be the letter that they were sending everyone about their matches and information about the pulses. I open it.

Dear Ms. Hermione Jean Granger,

As you may have heard, the Ministry of Magic has experienced an explosion. Due to this there has been a matching system set in place. Your match is:

Draco Malfoy

The Ministry of Magic is urging its population to meet up with your match as soon as possible. As the pulse develops it will make you want to be near your match and will make you sick if you have not seen them within a certain amount of time.

We are treating this situation with the utmost delicacy and will be keeping you up to date with anything to do with the pulses.

If you have any questions please read the supplemented reading materials before contacting the Ministry.

Sincerely,

Kingsley Shacklebolt

Minister of Magic

The supplemented material fell out of the envelope and unfurled into a small ten page booklet. I picked it up and then another owl flew in through the window. This one regal looking, it kept the letter clutched in its claws. And then a small midnight black owl flew in this time it crashed through the window and skidded on to the island. I knew this owl it was Harry's new owl, Selene, I stroked her just to make sure she was ok and she dropped the letter on the counter.

I opened this one first as I gathered my courage to face the other regal snowy looking owl.

Hermione,

This is ridiculous, I have never been so confused in my entire life. You have to come over this weekend so we discuss and analyze you would not believe just who I got matched to.

So let say this Friday evening at 6pm, we'll have dinner, just us and maybe Ron. I think he is still going through it with Lavender. You read the papers I bet.

Either way see you then.

Oh well good luck.

Your friend,

Harry

Exactly I do not know why everyone is acting like they did not see that kiss. It's like it didn't even happen. Was it actually a dream, a figment of my imagination, my wants and needs. I really need to speak to Malfoy. I look at the other owl and find it staring at me. "I guess I'll deal with you now." I moved towards the owl and it stuck out the letter and let me remove it from its clutches and then stayed perched on my counter. I got some treats out, and put some near it, it looks at me and then looked down and then looked at me again, and slightly nods and eats some of the treats.

"Must be waiting for a response, what a weird bird, smart though." I see the seal on the letter and realize it's from Malfoy. "Leave it to him to have such a regal bird."

Dear Hermione,

I suppose you have gotten your Ministry letter by now stating that your match is me. And as we left the conversation the other day. I would like to extend an invitation to dinner this Saturday at 7pm. If that is a reasonable date and time please owl me back. Artemis, is required to wait for your response.

I am sure you have questions about the articles in the Witch Weekly and our supposed kiss. Just wanted to let you know before you think you're barmy, that Malfoy Enterprises does own the publication and they cannot print anything that we do not want public. Including the kiss, I want to control the narrative on our relationship as I am sure you do also. We will have to give some sort of details soon though because our story would be considered, 'hot news' or so the editor in chief tells me.

I will have to do an interview that will be published in the next coming days as per agreement with the publication. I probably will be talking about

Either way, looking forward to your response. I miss you. These feeling are completely unusual.

Best,

Draco Malfoy

How considerate of him, I would like the ability to control what the media says about me. Understandably I did not know that the Malfoy's owned such publication as Witch Weekly, unsurprising that they would would have a hand in all types of pots.

Dear Draco,

I would like to thank you for bring up today's would be article, I was quite shocked that they had not printed anything about our kiss in Witch Weekly or the Daily Prophet. Though I believe the Daily Prophet did not print anything about it is because the explosion at the Ministry was more important to the population than that of our kiss. I am sure we will be seeing something about it during the following weeks when the matches are announced or when someone sees us out and about.

I would like to control the story of our supposed future relationship as it is, I would be glad to give a short comment if absolutely necessary to Witch Weekly and even to the Daily Prophet to dispelled any rumours that might up.

As for Saturday, I am indeed free on that day but instead of 7pm could we do an early dinner at 5pm.

By the way your owl is completely adorable.

Love,

Hermione Granger
