Disclaimers: As much as I may want to claim ownership of this famous series, I can't because both Harry Potter and DC Comic's Sandman belongs to a whole lot of different companies that I can't remember the names of at the moment. Any characters that appear in this fic that is not a part of the original series, belong to me so don't take them without asking first.

Marriage Law Rejection Letters

===============================
The Dreaming
Sphere of the Gods
23rd of August 1998
To the Director of the Department for Regulation of Magical Marriages of the British Ministry of Magic.
Whitehall, London, England, Great Britain
Dear Ms. Crawford,
Would you kindly cease and desist with this bombardment of letters to my brother-in-law Devotion, the mortal once known as Harold "Harry" James Potter.
My sister, Death, has spent eons trying to find a consort worthy of her and when she finally found him, she was quite literally floating on air. Yes, we made sure that Sister Delirium wasn't playing a trick on us.
Alas, Death's mood has turned quite sour after you started your rain of scribbletory terror. And quite frankly, the last time she was seen in such a mood was at the end of the Cretaceous Era, when brother Destruction accidentally destroyed her favourite plushy.
Unfortunately for three quarters of the life forms on your planet, having Death in a bad mood tends to have nasty consequences. And brother Destiny has requested that I pass on, that while his Book is filled with future exploits of humanity, said exploits can quite easily be rendered null and void through Free Will. It is not our responsibility if you wish to act like drunken and concussed lemmings and rush over a cliff and drown yourselves in the Seas of Eternity.
I do hope you reconsider your rather foolhardy course of action. Lest you raise even more of the ire of one of the oldest beings in existence. The one price ALL must pay in the end. The one who shall put the chairs on the tables, turn off the lights and lock up, as this universe comes to an end, when she and her beloved will go on their own Great Next Adventure.
As signed,
Carter Hall aka The Sandman aka Dream of the Endless
The King of Dreams, the Prince of Stories and the Lord Shaper
PS: Brother Destruction has requested I pass on the notification that he'll come to inspect your Ministry building, within a fortnight, to see if it passes the standard and required building regulations, if this madness (his words, not mine) does not cease.
PPS: A small image of a sun with eyes, mouth and hands pops off the parchment. Glares, then somehow creates a text balloon in mid air, filled with strange symbols as it waves its closed fists around aggressively as if ranting.
Before finally stopping, making a rather rude dual two fingered salute and blowing a raspberry before popping out of existence.
