" Mister. Malfoy I suggest you get up, the ministry has some bad news to share with the school."
That's not the most pleasant way to wake someone up. I thought.
I opened my eyes and stared at my second mother.
" no need to wear your uniform, school has been postponed until next Monday."
"A whole week? Why?" I asked standing up and finding an outfit.
"That will said in the great hall."
" I will be in the common room with your friends. Please do hurry."
I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth not leaving any time to brush my hair.
I walked down the stairs and smelt the delicious smell of vanilla.
Warm and inviting. Though she hates me, I'll have to work my ass off the fix that. I thought.
" follow me." Headmistress frowned, that's not a good sign.
We got to the great hall and sat down at our tables keeping an eye on the minister.
" good day students, I'm sure your prefects and heads of your houses have told you that the ministry had some rather.... bad news to share."
" I will get straight to the point, although I will say that this was out of my hands and that this decision was out of my league, and I am terribly sorry."
" the ministry has decided to make a new law, law 24942, commonly known as the marriage law."
Angry grumbles and gasps erupted around the room.
"You can't to that!."
"This is so unnecessary!"
"You can't marry us off!"
"We have to have children!?"
"Yes miss lovegood, you will have children, this is the reason for the law. The war has made us lose so many people, if we didn't do this, the wizarding world would cease to exist."
The room stoped the protests but there faces, showed no happiness.
"The ministry has done some digging, to try and match these couples, but we have decided to let that be up to you."
With the last words that the minister said he waved his wand and a paper appeared in front of everyone.
" this will determine who you get matched with, consisting of similarly, diff tinctures, and likes, my may start on your paper.
Oh how I hoped I would get hermione, if I didn't and I saw her with another man, my Veela would take that as rejection and die.
"What the hell are these questions!?" Pansy whisper yelled.
I looked down at the paper.
Name: Draco Malfoy
Birthday: June fifth,80
Preferably number of children: 2-3
Ideal honeymoon: Puerto Rico
What is something your passionate about?: quidditch.
Dream job?: my wife and I will have no need to work.
Describe your dream partner;
I need someone that will challenge me. Someone to keep me on my toes. I want my wife to be loving and kind and passionate about our children and I.
I want her to be completely comfortable in her skin(I looked up at my mate sitting at her table writing away with a frown on her face.)
"Your time is up." Mcgonagall bellowed.
With one swift swipe of her wand the stack of papers were in front of her on the podium.
An unknown lady that had yellow dress robes on stood by the headmistress.
"She will look through all the papers that will take about a minute or so, when she has called off the pair, come up, shake hands and you will be free to get to know them as much as possible before next Monday." She finished.
The unknown lady sorted the papers into two and started calling out names.
"Astoria greengrass, and Adrian pucey!"
Happy for the pair the room clapped as they walked to the front room, shook hands and left.
Katie bell and Kingsley McCaggen.
"These are some very interesting pair." She mumbled.
Harry Potter and pansy Parkinson. The two walked to the front before giving each other a weak smile then shaking hands and leaving.
The lady frowned.
"Minerva if this needed to happen you could have paired everyone with the people in there common rooms. Because it seems evey one is in the same common room.
That gives me hope. I'm smiled a bit, casting a glance at Blaise that looked paler then snow.
" calm down mate, I'm sure you'll get paired with her, your both extremely annoying so it'll all work out." He smirked making his friend grumble.
"Neville longbottom and cho Chang."
After some pairs were called it was down to our common room.
"Theodore nott and Luna lovegood." Loony smiled and shook hands with theo while he nodded with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Ronald Weasley and...( my heart pounded) Alicia spinet." I huffed out a sigh of relief.
That left me Blaise, Weasley and Hermione.
"Ginny Weasley and Blaise Zabini." The lady smiled.
Blaise smirked walking to the flustered girl still sitting and in a daze.
"I believe we were paired." He held out his hand and she reluctantly took it.
"And Draco Malfoy and hermione granger." The lady rolled up the scroll and shook hands with Mcgonagall.
The shock finally hit hermione because she glared at me and walked off not waiting for me.
