Disclaimer: I don't Harry Potter or any other of J.K Rowling's characters. But if I owned Sean Biggerstaff, oh the fun I'd have.
A/N: I'm putting Oliver/Fred/George and the others only a year ahead of the trio.
Chapter 1
The Sorting Hat had just finished assigning the new first years to their houses when Dumbledore stood up to speak.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another year at Hogwarts. As I know most of you know a marriage was passed over the summer. For those of you who don't know I will explain. The Ministry of Magic has decided to make marriage mandatory by the age of 18. The catch is that you will have no choice of your spouse."
The hall erupted in to a yell. Dumbledore started to speak again.
"This law goes into effect at midnight tonight and you will all receive your spousal contracts tomorrow during breakfast. Tuck in."
Hermione and her friends had been told of the law over the summer when it had been signed. But it was still a shock that it was happening so fast. Hermione was snatched out of her thought by Ron's loud voice.
"I feel sorry for whoever get Malfoy," he joked trying to lighten the mood at the table.
"RON! That's not funny, it could be Hermione or Ginny that get stuck with that mini-Death Eater!" Harry said worried about his girlfriend and his "sister".
"Right now I'm just praying I end up with someone I know, preferably a Gryffindor." Hermione said voicing her plea.
"Does that include me Hermione?" a soft Scottish burr questioned in her ear. But when she turned to respond to the voice she found the person gone.
She knew that voice anywhere. She had melted at the sound of that voice for over six years. It belonged to Oliver Wood.
