Marriage Law Rejection Letters
Letter #82
Submitted By: Pyeknu
===============================

Dear Ministry of Suicidal Idiots,

Have nice afterlives.

Shizuka Potter
Lady Shinano of Yokosuka
Third of the Yamato-class
Marchioness Potter of Taunton Deane

P.S. Don't worry. Oné-sama will make it painful and long when she comes to deliver you to your ancestors.

London, the Ministry of Magic, one afternoon...

"Well, don't say we didn't warn you," Warspite calmly noted as she sipped her tea.

A wide-eyed Pansy Parkinson could only stare in awed shock at the mound of decapitated and mangled corpses now piled up in the Atrium of the Ministry, the remnants of a large force of hit-wizards that had been hired by the members of the Wizengamot who had voted for the Marriage Law to protect those August nobles from the terrible wrath of the Angry One...

...who happened to be the SISTER-IN-LAW of the battleship-turned-carrier that had been reborn to fight the Abyssal menace.

And was now the effective Lady Potter of Taunton Deane.

Wife of the Man-Who-Won.

"Great Merlin...!" one of the more stoic aurors sputtered as he tried to keep his breakfast down from the overwhelming stench that was now emanating from the corpses left behind by the fifth of the Yamato-class and the second to be transformed into an aircraft carrier. Most of his fellows had already lost their lunches at the sight of such slaughter, worlds worse than anything the Blood Wars had produced, much less the Ministry's feeble efforts to deal with the strange demons of the deep oceans that only the shipgirls — beings who had been brought to live by MUGGLES of all people! — could combat on an equal footing.

"PARKINSON! GET IN HERE AND ...urrkh!"

Pansy sighed, then she gave the second of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships a polite curtsy before she ran to the stairs that led down to the courtroom levels. Soon reaching the wrecked doors of Courtroom Ten — which doubled as the main meeting hall of the Wizengamot when they were in session — the Chief Auror took a deep breath before she looked inside...

...then she winced again on seeing the small mound of slaughtered Wizengamot elders on the floor below the raised dais where the Minister for Magic held court in weekly meetings. Said minister himself was now in the grasp of a very tall and muscular woman with grey-shot raven hair tied in a simple ponytail and the most stormy grey eyes the Slytherin alumnus had ever seen on anyone, human and shipgirl alike. Said woman currently wore her sea uniform of a white kimono top over green rider's hakama trousers, that covered with the obvious physical signs that she was an aircraft carrier shipgirl serving His Imperial Majesty, the Heavenly Sovereign of Japan. Never mind the glimmering Daisho lashed to her left hips, her beautiful yet now quite bloody katana drawn and in her free hand as she casually choked the life out of the blundering idiot that, by pressing for that idiot law, brought down the terrible wrath of two MONARCHS on the collective heads of wizarding Britain.

Pansy, at least, had long read the magical Constitution of the Realm.

She KNEW what the Ministry's relationship with the Queen actually was.

And she also knew — through letters from Harry Potter — how much the legendary Seventh Carrier of Operation Z doted on her little sister Shinano, who married the Man Who One and became Lady Shizuka Ito-Potter of Yokosuka and Taunton Deane.

Of course, a marriage between a WIZARD and a SHIPGIRL was heresy in the minds of many in wizarding Britain.

That had, in part, prompted the law that was to drag Harry back to Britain to see him married to his "chief fan-girl".

Never mind that Ginny Thomas was happily married to her husband...!

"Ah, Parkinson-dono! My apologies for being so blunt in my visit today."

Pansy shuddered as that ice-cold woman's voice escaped the Angry One as she tried to tune her own mage-sight down from being blinded by the aircraft carrier's incredible magical aura, which was flaring with outrage at the actions the Wizengamot had carried out that caused her little sister to cry.

"I trust it was you who dealt with the aurors that were sent to Japan who tried to kidnap Harry and drag him back here to force him together with the Weaslette, Lady Yonaga?"

The carrier known to close friends as Ito Yoiko smirked. "If that was the standard skill of magical law enforcement agencies, Pansy-san, it was no wonder that yakuza Riddle was able to almost take over this nation. Be thankful that we had not been returned to duty by then; my good friends in this nation would have been quite thorough in dealing with him and his lot."

"Parkin-...son! Kill this... thing...!" the minister gasped through that steel-hard grip.

Yonaga sighed. "Excuse me, please."

Pansy then winced as the carrier's katana sliced the minister's head just under the ear, shattering the fool's skull and sending what was left flying into the lectern. Yonaga tossed aside what was left of the idiot's body, then reached into her trousers to draw out a quite bloody rag to clean her blade of the minister's blood and gore before she properly sheathed the weapon.

"Her Majesty commands yo6u attend Her at Buckingham Palace to receive Her Warrant as Her Minister for Magic, Lady Parkinson," the seventh carrier of Operation Z declared with a graceful bow, making the current head of House Parkinson gape at such an honour. "I pray all the Kami of this land will give you wisdom in the trying times ahead. Excuse me."

With that, the shipgirl that ALWAYS sent Abyssals on the run wherever she sailed walked out of the courtroom. Pansy watched her go, shaking her head as she recalled Harry's private letter to her warning her of Yonaga's mercurial mood swings that stemmed from her lost crew's seven decades trapped in an icy cove in remote Siberia, only freeing herself when the dark sea demons came to her one day to make her one of them. Thankful that Yonaga had the classical Japanese sense of manners that went with her traditional samurai training, the new Minister for Magic could only sigh as she imagined what would happen once the successors to the fools killed here today found out about renewed Royal interest in wizarding Britain...
