"That's it! I'm sick and tired of this fighting! You have forced me to drastic measures!" Yelled the new minister of magic. He furiously pulled papers from his desk and began signing them. "And you two especially!" he looked pointedly at the two in front of him. "Well now I'm forced to do this! You think you would have dropped this feud by now, but nooo! You think you would be a little more respectful, and the things you put your parents through! This one won't take a wife! This one harps her poor mom nearly to death for news of her boyfriend!" he growled glaring at the young man and woman in front of him. "Mr. Malfoy! Sign here!" He passed the papers to the blonde man and looked knowingly at him. "Ms. Weasley, sign here." He said softer.
"But, I don't understand," She started as she handed the papers back.
"Minister, I really think that Weasley here-"
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy! You are a lovely couple." The ministers last statement was followed by much jumping and yelling, and even a slap, before he could finally understand what they were saying.
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TOO-"
"WHAT THE FU-"
"MY FAMILY WOULD KILL HIM, NOT THAT I CARE, BUT THEY WOULD KILL ME TOO!"
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! ARE YOU HIGH OR SOMETHING?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"ENOUGH!" roared the frustrated man behind the desk. "I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS! NOW YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS!" He smirked at his ingenious idea before continuing in a lower more menacing voice. "This contract is binding. There is no way, wizard or muggle that you can escape it, death or divorce, so you two better learn to love each other. And if either of you so much as thinks of cheating, I will personally see to it that you are punished. Now Mrs. Malfoy, I'll have my elves move your stuff to the manor, but I do believe that Mr. Malfoy's parent will want you to consummate this marriage as soon as possible, so if you would each take one side of this pen," He held out the tiny pen and they each took one end. "Oh by the way, there is to be a ball tonight, I suggest you go as a HAPPY couple and announce your marriage, or I'll have to do it. Now, I'll see you all later."
"Wha-?"
He watched the two portkey away and felt immense relief until he realized that he'd have to deal with all the Weasleys and one very upset Narcissa.
"This is going to be a long day…"
