Part 1 - After War Surprises
It had been few months since the war was over with, and Hermione had left to get her parents back, but had not been back as of yet of anyone's knowlegde, except for a few chosen ones, but reality was that she had gotten married a year before the war, and she was actually not trying to find her parents, as they were away with her husband and his family, in safety.
She had gotten married a year ago to a man named Sam Uley, and the two were happy and very much mated and in love with each other and the time away from each other had taken a strike somewhat on their love and connection, but as soon she came back to him, it was like before again within hours being together again.
One day, the two of them sat around their breakfast table, when an owl came in and dropped a letter on Hermione's lap, who took it and opened it, and it read;
"Dear Hermione, you (and your husband and mate) are welcome for an Order meeting at 5 PM this afternoon of when the letter reaches you. Please do come and show the others who doesnt know about your husband or secret life. With love, Minister of Magic; Kingsley Shacklebolt."
She sighed, as Sam said
"Whats wrong baby?" Hermione just gave him the letter, and he too frowned of what it said, but said
"Well then, that settles it, why not show up baby?" And Hermione nodded and the two went onto to get ready for the meeting in few hours, by getting dressed and ready for it all. So after they gotten ready, she took her wand in her hand, and the two took hands and walked into the fireplace, and she shouted;
"Grimmauld Place." And off they went onto the travel.
********Meanwhile inside of the Grimmauld Place*********
Harry and Ron had been told that Kingsley had known where Hermione was all this time, and that he didnt even tell the two where exactly she was at nor who she even was married to, that was to surprise them in few moments, when she and her husband arrives in few from the fireplace.
Ronald who thought he would now have a shot at her being together finally with her, afterall that kiss they had in the chambers, made him see she was the perfect one for himself, and Lavender had no chance anymore on him, despite they still slept together in secret from the others.
Harry was just hurt that Hermione had decided to leave the way she did and never reach out after if she ever found her parents and let him know she was ok.
Ginny sat with anger in her face, as she felt it was Hermione's fault that Harry never asked her again to be his girlfriend after the war was over with, but she didn't realise it was all on her own mistake, as Harry never felt love for her. Ever.
Molly was furious for her son and only daugther's pain from what had happened shortly after the war was over with, Arthur was healing still from it all, so was Bill, Fleur, Charlie aswell Fred and George as it turned out that Fred had been in a coma, not killed after the wall fell over onto him. Percy was still abit of an arse towards his family, but he was getting there to be a better person, most likely thanks to his new girlfriend of his, Audrey.
Those who knew where she had been all this time, was exicted and nervous at the same time, as they knew when she arrived with her husband, there would be some loose cannons let loose aka Ronald and Harry aswell Ginerva. Either way, before any of them could react, the fireplace lit up, and after the persons in there had brushed off the worst of the soot, they stepped out, and most gasped out;
"HERMIONE?! IS THAT YOU?" Hermione grimaced at the yells, and Sam growled lowly under his breaths, making Hermione smacked his chest gently as in telling him to cool it for now, and it was ok now. She then said
"Yes it is me." Ronald said
"Who the bloody hell is this with you?" Hermione rolled her eyes at him, and said
"What is it for you, Ronald to know, anyways Kings I got your letter, so what is this meeting about?"
Kingsley grinned softly, and the others realised that he had known about her whereabouts all this time, and he then said
"It is about a new, permenant law that we as in Minstry has set up for the new start of the new era of the magical world after the war."
Hermione nodded, as she said
"It is a marriage law isn't it?" At that most of them gasped or began to shout nonsense or swearings, as she then continued
"Lucky me then, that I dont have to be married off to someone I dont even know or love even."
Making Kingsley, Severus and few more chuckle, while other gapped or stared at her in shock, as Molly said in angry voice
"What do you mean with that, Hermione?" Hermione rolled her eyes, as she said
"You are not my mother, Molly, but I am very HAPPILY married since 3 years ago. And this here who is with me, is my loving, supportive husband, Sam Uley. Sam meet the whole Order; Kingsley and Severus you have met before today. Aswell Minerva and Albus of course."
Sam grinned, as most were in shock of what she said, and Ronald began to become more red in his face, as Hermione used wandless magic to silenced him, his mother, sister and Harry for now. He then wrapped an easy arm around her waist, while she lean back onto his chest, closing her eyes for now, as Kingsley said
"Welcome Sam to the first meeting for your part in this, and Hermione is correct in what she said, she is very happily married to Samuel or Sam here, and he is also a shapeshifter and his wolf chose Hermione as his mate years before they married. And she chose to be with him, as she knew there was none else for her to love or be with in same way like she is now with Sam. Hermione, good to see you sweetheart, how is your parents doing?"
"They are just fine, Kings, they send their loves to you, Sev and Minerva and Albus."
Making the four chuckle, as Severus said
"Please tell them our hello's and loves back, dear. And how is the pack doing, Sam?"
"For now we are ok, but there is trouble brewing for sure, we might need your help in this mess we were more or less forced into, by Jacob's stupidity and silly crush on a girl, whom we call Leech Lover, as she clearly is in love with this virginal, prudish vampire boy, whom believed themselves being mates."
Severus frowned at that, while Albus said
"Whatever you may need from us, you will have it. How is your little brother and sister doing, Hermione?"
"Oh they are just fine, thriving in the life of where we live at and that they will join Hogwarts in due course."
Albus nodded with a smile of his own hearing this, and others were in shock to hear that Hermione had now siblings, and that they also were magical like herself was and apparently strong as she is with her magic too. Molly said screechingly;
"What brother, sister are you talking about, and where do you live at?" Sam cringed then growled loudly at this woman screeching like that and others heard the growl he did, but not who did it yet, and Hermione sighed
"Like I said before, Molly, you are not my mother, never will be either, and I have a younger brother and sister, as my parents were surprised like myself when they got pregnant with twins in my 4th year, same year I met Sam that summer break. And I won't tell you where we live as we don't want anyone to harrass us or stalk us around the place we call home and I feel safe to live without the limelights of being one of the heroines of the blasted war we were all just in. I am not Ronald who is acting all like fame-whore craving for the attention nor am I really anyone to relive what I went through in the war, as I want to move on and grow up aswell be on my own with my husband without harrassment and whatnots."
Many choked on their spits at what she said about Ronald especially who turned more red and more angry under the silence spell she unknowningly to himself had placed on him to keep quiet for now. Molly was furious but said nothing else for now, as Arthur said
"I thought you left for Australia to find your parents and bring back their memories."
"That was a small lie of mine, that my parents and I came up with after we moved to US, that is where we live but not which state or city we live in, as it is not really anyone's businesses to know that part of our lives, but we came up with that lie and my parents and I moved promptly to my husband's city and I went back here to be part of the war, despite wanting to stay and be with my husband and parents for once, but they told me to go and do my part then come back to them. And so I did, and when I came back, I was a broken mess for sure and Sam took good care of me, and helped me back on track and feet again. So my parents were never oblivated, we came up with that lie too together."
Many were in shock of what she said, Sam rubbed her back, and held her in his arms for now. Ronald glared, while Harry gapped in shocked hurt and disbelief of what she said so far, as Sam said
"So this new of yours, what is it about then?" Kingsley said
"Everyone between ages 17-24 are now under a permenant marriage law, to those who are not married by today, they are now under this law, and we as in Ministry will choose your partners of marriage, by what the St Mungos and what we do as tests to see where you are at in your magical levels and agewise, aswell bloodtype, as we believe in bringing in new bloodlines into families, so the pairings will be Pure/Muggleborn or Halfblood/muggleborn, no half or purebloods are allowed to be paired up unless they are not related backwards in the families. So Black, Malfoy, Weasley, Potter etc are off-limits to be married to each other, and as I said, we in the Ministry will choose your partner, and it also a permenant marriage, as no divorces will happen just for you are not happy with what we choose for your marriage partner, and no parents are allowed to flick and change anything. Hermione you are also off this, as you are already married since 3 years ago, and mated to Sam here."
Hermione grinned and nodded while the others went off now in raging rants, and screams of how unfair, and Ginny was furiously crying of these news, and Molly was glaring at Hermione all this time. Hermione just gave the woman a scary glare, that made Molly look away but still being pissed at her.
Kingsley then gave a piece of papers to those ones who are unwed here, and they were pulled away by a portkey attached to these paperpieces to St Mungos.
