Disclaimers: As much as I may want to claim ownership of this famous series, I can't because Harry Potter 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 #335
Submitted By: Architeuthis
Sequel to: Letters #149, #209, #220, #257, #274 and #319
===============================

To the Ministry of Morons, ARE YOU PEOPLE MENTAL?! How the bloody hell am I supposed to marry Hermione when she's in bloody Australia?! Even if she were still here in England, I wouldn't want to marry her anyway. Hermione and I have exactly two things in common: 1) We're friends with Harry, and 2) we have strong opinions about stuff. The latter trait means that we argue all of the bloody time. I know some gits say we argue like an old married couple, but I'd prefer not to spend the next sixty or seventy years squabbling with my wife about every single bloody thing. I'm also fairly sure that Hermione wants a husband who would agree with her at least some of the time. Hermione and I also want different things out of life. I want to be an Auror, and she wants a degree in wizarding law so she can take over the Ministry one day – or at least help house elves and folks like that. I'll be bloody shocked if she also isn't trying for a Mastery in Transfiguration or something. That wouldn't leave her a lot of time for cooking or raising kids or doing any of the other things Mum says a proper witch should do. Also, Hermione is a muggleborn. Don't get me wrong: I have nothing against muggles or their kids. I just don't know anything about muggles, and I'm fairly certain that Hermione would want to spend some time in the muggle world. That's where her family lives, after all. Finally, I've already found my future wife. Her name is Lavender Brown, and we've been dating since our sixth year in Hogwarts. We got engaged last year and will be getting married very soon. We don't need the Ministry's "help" in finding spouses; we've managed quite well on our own. So kindly bugger off with your dumb marriage law!

Ronald Weasley


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: Like many other people, I don't consider Ron and Hermione even remotely compatible. I thus decided to write from the viewpoint of a Ron who is smart enough and mature enough to acknowledge that fact.

Another Weasley letter. It's a sequel to the ones by Bill and the other Weasleys.
