Disclaimers: As much as I may want to claim ownership of this famous series, I can't because both Harry Potter and X-Men 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
Letter #120
Submitted By: Architeuthis
===============================

Dear Sirs and Mesdames of the Ministry of Magic,

I am utterly appalled by your new law and subsequent demand for Ms. Granger's return to Magical Britain to wed one Professor Severus Snape. First off, Ms. Granger is fifteen – a minor by any civilized country's standards. She is simply not old enough to marry. Furthermore, while Professor Snape may be a fine man with a respectable position, he is also roughly twenty years her senior. It has been my observation that marriages with that kind of age gap are seldom happy. The handful that are happy are between two older adults.

Then there is the matter of Ms. Granger's… condition. She is a mutant, as you surely must know. The manifestation of her powers was quite traumatic for her. Her first year at your Hogwarts School was reasonably happy. She even made a few friends, something that she admits she sometimes struggles with.

Her second year there was a disaster. She brewed and drank something called "Polyjuice Potion" that triggered her mutation prematurely. Her peers and instructors were at first non-committal, for they assumed she would eventually revert to normal. As time went on, though, they became increasingly hostile. Ms. Granger's situation became untenable when a Mr. Lucius Malfoy reported her to your Committee For The Disposal Of Dangerous Creatures.

By this time, Cerebro had detected Ms. Granger. Through Cerebro, I was able to discern her distress and its causes. I, therefore, dispatched a team of X-Men to safely retrieve her. She has been at my school ever since. She has learned about her feline gifts and has come to accept them. Dr. Hank McCoy was particularly helpful in that regard, as he has a similar mutation. Ms. Granger has also made friends with some of her fellow students. I have also found her tutors, so she has been able to continue her magical education – and that is yet another problem with your appalling law. Namely, teenagers who marry are rarely able to complete their educations.

In sum, I am not sending Ms. Granger back to England to get married. She will remain at my school and continue learning about her magical and mutant abilities.

Sincerely,

Professor Charles Xavier

Author's Notes:
This latest Marriage Law Rejection Letter update was recently submitted to my review box by Architeuthis. Thanks for the submission. If anyone else has any letters they want to submit, feel free to send them in. lol

Notes from Architeuthis: Obviously, this is a Harry Potter & X-Men crossover. The idea here was that Hermione's transformation into a catgirl proved to be permanent.
