The Marriage Law

Chapter 17

"I'm so mad right now," I said to my friends, seething with so many levels of rage. "Why?" Ron asked naively. "The wizarding law entailing women, that's what, Ronald," I hissed at him. He cowered away. "Sorry," he said, and there was a hint of fear laced in his voice. My expression softened. "I'm sorry. When I get angry, my inner sadistic self comes out," I chuckled. "Keep it under control for a little bit, and help me figure out what we're going to do!" Draco complained. "Alright, but don't come crying to me when Hermione goes all full name on you..."

When Draco was done writing, we barely had a plan.

"We need someone who is convincing, and I know exactly who to call," I smiled, picking my wand up and walked away from the table. "Lilac? Yeah I-"

Within minutes of my message, Lilac Irwin was at my side, contemplating her wording. She knew if she went to strong, she'd be locked away but if it was asking quietly and softly, it would hopefully do the trick.

"I doubt they'll listen to this, Lilac," Draco warned, eying the paper wearily. "You knocked up my best friend and you're worried about that?" She said, putting a hand on her hip. "Take it from me, my dad used to be in the councils and he made them all stubborn," Draco said, also putting his hand on his hip. The Australian-American didn't like that. "At least my father isn't locked away!"

"At least my brother isn't dead!"

"At least I can diss someone!"

"At least-"

"STOP IT NOW!" I yelled. It was getting to heated. "Get along, or you are both out!"

When Lilac was done, we had a very valid argument.

"I understand they pay for women is less for men. What can we do about that? Well, we could give women a fair trial at court, with both sexes as a judge, meaning there would be two sexes to contemplate the argument fairly. Also, women have the right to hold a teacher's position al the way to a judge in the ministry but no higher than a judge. No women was ever held Minister, am I correct? As of today, you are here by challenged you come make a female minister. Good day," Lilac said sassily. "Wooh! Campaign, DONE!" Harry cheered. We celebrated the rest of the night.
