A/N: Prompt "The Leaky Cauldron" for the LDWS at the DMHG Challenge community on LJ - Winner of Round 4! Yay! :-)
When asked about the new Ministry Marriage Law, Hermione Granger stated that "arranged marriages are archaic." She refused, on principle, to marry her chosen match, Draco Malfoy.
When Draco was asked, he replied, "There's no way in hell I'll be forced to marry that Granger girl."
So when, after two years of Hermione's tireless effort and Draco's money, the Daily Prophet announced the repeal of the hated Marriage Law, Hermione, Draco, and everyone in the Leaky Cauldron roared in celebration.
You understand then, why everything stilled when Draco dropped to one knee and slipped a ring onto Hermione's slender finger.
