Ginny and Sirius peered at the chart. The ministry had really done it this time. The marriage law had passed somehow and Sirius needed to marry- immediately. Unfortunately, the ministry has taken it one step further and outlawed same gender marriage. Remus and Sirius couldn't have married if they'd wanted to. Ginny couldn't help but want to help. Harry still a few years before he'd be forced into marriage.

"It doesn't matter. We're both pure-bloods. They'd never allow it," Sirius stated, the moment Ginny had thrown her name at him as a potential wife.

"We find a way then. We figure out how to rewrite the law, make it work for us. Hermione could find us a loophole."

"Ginny, you're too young for me to begin with, why would I even consider this insane proposal of yours?"

"Because you like me. Because I can't marry Harry. I don't love him. I don't love anyone actually. I know you love Remus," Ginny replied, sitting at the table, leaning on her elbows.

"It doesn't matter."

"It does. Marry me since I don't love you. Marry me, cheat on me with him. I won't divorce you because of it. And since I have no interest in loving anyone, we'd be a perfect match,"Ginny stated. Sirius tried to ignore the logic behind her words. He'd known Ginny was different. He'd never thought about the fact none of her relationships had ever gotten physical. He knew she didn't care to be touched.

"You are too young and too pure-blooded."

"And do you really think the ministry will notice? I mean, pretty sure this whole thing is some stupid attempt to marry us all off to Death Eaters. Besides, I'm sure Hermione could find some loophole. I mean, you were disowned, so does it really count?" Ginny asked, tilting her head letting her auburn hair fall over her bare shoulder. Sirius tried not to stare at the fact the strap of her tank top had fallen down.

"Ginny. This is insane. I can't marry you anymore than I can marry Remus."

"We'll see," Ginny said, sliding from the chair and stalking out of the dining room. Sirius stared at her and shook his head. He wasn't sure why Ginny was currently obsessed with him and the idea of marrying him, but needed to find a way to quell this before it got too far.

The next morning, she was sitting on the table wearing a pair of shorts that Sirius had a feeling her mother would never have allowed her to wear. She was drinking a cup of coffee and reading the paper.

"Morning," she said, looking over the edge of the paper.

"Morning. Is there any more coffee?"

"Yes, I brewed a whole pot. And I'm sorry about yesterday. I was only trying to help," she added.

"I know. It doesn't change the fact I need to marry."

"Is Hermione single still?"

"She's not. Do not ask me how I know that. I saw something I really wish I could evanesco from my brain."

"Her shagging Severus in the upstairs ballroom?" Ginny asked. Sirius stared at her.

"No, thankfully no. I'd have ripped my eyes out. Where do you get this insane ideas?"

"Ron says I have brain damage from Riddle possessing me," Ginny said brightly. "I was thinking, we still need to find you a wife. What if we dressed Remus in drag?"

"He loves Tonks," Sirius answered, pouring himself a cup of coffee. "And I could never ask him to do that for me. If someone found out..."
"Okay, so single female who doesn't care that you're a fugitive, who knows you're innocent, and doesn't care you turn into a shaggy black dog... hmmm. There's not many people to pick from," Ginny stated.

"There's no one," Sirius muttered. "And you're still a pure-blood, you can't change your bloodlines, Ginny."

"Any chance your mum had an affair with a muggle?" Ginny asked, pouting slightly. Sirius blinked at her.

"You've heard her portrait."

"Point. I still don't want to marry someone either though. They'll... want... you know..."Ginny muttered.

"Even if it was us, we'd still have to consummate the union."

"I know. But you wouldn't enjoy it any more than me, so it wouldn't be so bad... What about one of my friends from school?"

"Also too young, and how would you explain me to them?"

"It should be us, Sirius. It really should be, if only... if only we could change our bloodlines,"Ginny said softly. Sirius put a hand on her leg.

"But we can't. We need to find our own matches, Ginny. We're not meant for each other. There's too many things that we can't change, too many things that just don't work."

"We could make them, write up a whole set of rules... wait... Sirius, did you family ever write you a marriage contract?" Ginny asked, her brown eyes lighting up.

"Why?"

"Just answer the question. Did they ever write up a marriage contract for you?"

"I would need to look, it would be in my father's vault, in his office. Come on, you're going to follow me anyway,"Sirius said, leading Ginny up the stairs and towards the off limits wing.

Orion Black's office was handsome. There was a cherry desk in the center of the room. Bookcases of knicknacks lined the walls. There was a large window behind the desk. The curtains were mildew covered. Ginny wrinkled her nose.

"Here it is, marriage contracts for me and Regulus," Sirius said, pulling a stack of parchment from the vault. Ginny grabbed it looking it over before smiling.

"We can get married, Sirius. The law says all prewritten marriage contracts were to be honored."

"So? You weren't even born when this was drafted."

"True, but my family lines were! Look, you were supposed to marry into the Prewett line!"

"Prewett...," Sirius muttered, trying to figure out why Ginny was so excited.

"Merlin, you really don't know your family lines! My mum was a Prewett before she married Dad. Since I'm the only female on the line... the old contract still stands. The ministry will have to honor it!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Doesn't change the fact you're too young."

"True, but it does mean I'm your betrothed, and we won't have to... you know, until I come of age. Come on, you need to get my dad's permission. He'd going to say 'no', but at least you asked," Ginny exclaimed, grabbing Sirius' arm and yanking him from the room.
