Again these characters are not mine...they are ROWLINGS.

It was not until I posted the prologue that I noticed I left out some very important information. I apologize I hope this chapter ties up any loose ends.

CHAPTER TWO. ME!

The Daily Prophet

After an ample investigation by yours truly, I was finally able to locate Minister Fudge and extract a statement from him regarding this most historic development in Enlgand's Wizarding Community. For reasons regarding the Minister's cooperation I am on my honor unable to disclose the Minister's hideout- oh pardon me, typo! residence for the time being.

Minister how long do those on the list have before they must be married?

All those who will be participating in repopulating our community are given a number which when called by the ministry will transfer him or her with their chosen spouse to the ministry for marriage.

I see! And how long before all the marriages are performed?

All the marriages will be performed before the end of this year.

Minister it is Novemer 2nd! Are you saying everyone on the list will be in union before December 31st?

Yes.

Yes? Is that all?

Yes!

Your answers are indeed eloquent! Why were werewolves included?

It is time we welcome our margined brothers and sisters back.

Will the identity of those with lycanthropy be made public?

The Ministry knows their identity and the spouse will be informed but it will not be made public. The ministry does not see the need.

So you don't see the need…

Not me, the Ministry!

Are you married Minister?

Yes, you know that.

Do you have any children of marriageable age?

Yes, a daughter and before you ask yes she's on the list…as are you. Don't you read the paper you work for? I must take my leave now I have things to attend to.

ME! …(choking)I was so bsuy researching locations...(smiling) I didn't read the posting butI will ... I thank you for your time Minister…by the way you have a beautiful view of Big Ben from here.
