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.

===============================

SHAKEUP AT MINISTRY! MARRIAGE LAW REPEALED!

In a stunning reversal, the Pureblood Heritage Preservation Act of 2007 was repealed following the dismissal and arrest of former Minister Dolores Jane Umbridge by a Muggle Envoy to the British Crown for refusal to an official summons by, and attack on, Muggle Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

"While we regret the arrest of Madame Umbridge, it has been shown that the situation is out of our hands, and we must move forward," said incoming Minister Albert Runcorn. "The first is to repeal the marriage law that has caused so much unrest in recent weeks."
