I'm still doing my other fanfiction while doing this one.

This is a marriage law fanfiction.

I'm not going to be saying who everyone will be matched with. You'll just have to wait ;)

Ron and hermione didn't work out neither did ginny and Harry.

This starts a few months after the war. Tonks and Fred survived however lupin didn't.

Everything belongs to jk Rowling

Chapter 1

Ginny, Harry, Ron and hermione were sitting outside the burrow by a lake talking about what they're going to do now that the wars over.

"well I have to go back for this final year but after that I'm thinking of playing quidditch professionally" ginny states looking cheery.

"that sounds great gin. You'll be great!" hermione says smiling.

"who are you and what have you done with mione" ginny says while the two boys and her are in shock at what hermione just said.

"I know I haven't always been supportive of quidditch careers but as long as your happy then it doesn't matter what you do. After the war everyone deserves to be happy, what about you two what are your plans?"

"I've been offered the DADA job. I'm thinking of going for that or doing quidditch professionally too but I'm undecided." Harry says with a conflicted look on his face.

"I'm going to go to a wizarding University and do dragon studies, Charlie has offered to save me a place until I finish my studies in Romania I think that'll be really good for me." Ron says (wizarding University only takes a year)

"well Ron I think that's amazing idea! Working with Charlie will be great for you, we barely see him. Brotherly bonding will be good for you. And Harry I know this will be a hard decision but I know something that might make it easier." hermione says

"what?"

"if you take the job at hogwarts we will be colleagues" she states grinning broadly

"what!?" ginny, ron and Harry exclaim

"I'm the new transfiguration professor"

"since when?" ginny asks

"since yesterday"

They congratulate her hugging her, when Mrs weasley calls them in for dinner.

"it's going to be weird if you're my professor or Harry is"

"actually I'd only be teaching first years to fourth years, minerva is still teaching later years until I get fully situated. But I know it'll be weird with Harry if he accepts the job"

They walk into the dining room where everyone's sitting. Molly and Arthur sitting next to each other at the end of the table with Charlie and percy opposite, the there's bill, fleur, tonks and Harry, opposite there's the twins, Ron and now ginny and hermione when they sit down.

"what's going on?" Ron asks.

"the minister has just passed a new law that I need to tell you all about before it's announced in the morning."

Everyone expect percy and molly looks at him skeptically.

"the wizengamot had a meeting earlier today about this law and after a long discussion it was approved... It's a marriage law."

"what do you mean a marriage law?" Harry asks looking very pale all of a sudden.

"the marriage law states that everyone between the gates of 17 and 35 are toto be arranged to marry someone the ministry thinks you suit. They will be sending out tests tomorrow to help with the pairings after it's been announced. You cannot lie on these applications. They won't break up marriages and anyone who's engaged as of yesterday will have to register with the ministry where they will be put under veritiserum to make sure the engagement is legitimate. You have one year to marry and then another year for a first child. You must have at least four children during the marriage, you can apply for a divorce if there's reason and the wizengamot thinks it's a viable reason and you've done all the requirements of the marriage. If you're not happy about your pairing you can appeal at the wizengamot but it's unlikely that anything will happen. Tonks someone will come to yours tomorrow to talk about waiting for your pairing if thats better for you, they'll discuss it at length tomorrow with you. Bill and fleur any married couples who have less than four children will have to start trying for babies within the next 3 months which they will also test with veritiserum. That's all I know at the moment, if you have any questions there's an enquiry address tomorrow that you can visit or owl to with questions."

Everyone was silent for a moment before everyone exploded. Fleur and Bill were looking at eachother with gooey eyes while everyone else bar molly and percy were shouting. Hermione slyly walked out of the burrow looking very upset and apparated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione walked to her childhood home where her parents currently were and knocked on the door with tears running down her face. Her father answered the door the smile disappearing off his face.

"hi dad, I know what you and mum said but a new laws just been passed saying that I have to marry within the next year and I want you two to be there when the time comes please forgive me"

"I have no daughter. She vanished when we did. Change your last name and never come here again..." he said and slammed the door.

She was full on crying at this point. She can see her mum in the window before her mother closes the curtains with a cold expression on her face. Hermione apparates back to burrow and drops to the ground crying hysterically. She hears people calling her name before she passes out.
