The Marriage Law

The letter that changed my life

Hermione POV
I could hear the birds chirping in the trees, a light breeze could be felt as I stood at the top of a hill. I could see for miles and miles, there was nothing but green grass and vibrant yellow daffodils that gave off the most beautiful fragrance. Looking up I could see that there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It really was a perfect day to be outside
"Mione. Come join us". A familiar voice called from the bottom of the hill. Looking down to find the sound I was met by an uncomfortably familiar platinum blond, but for the life of me I could not remember who this handsome man was.
"Yes mum, come play". A small boy with the same platinum blond hair as the man called out. I started to make my way down, with a feeling of such joy that I couldn't quite understand. On the breeze however there seemed to be a voice.
"Mione..... Mione....Hermione wake up!!"
Waking with a start I saw the face of none other than Ginny Weasley, who stood over me. Rather annoyed that I was woken from a wonderful dream I turned to her with a look of frustration plastered on my features.
"What? What time is it?"
"8:30. But the post has arrived and mum says everyone should come down and open our letters together. She said it was important". Knowing I couldn't argue with Mrs Weasley I quickly got out of bed and went to use the nearest bathroom. Five minutes later and the whole family was sat around the kitchen table. Fred and George were sat in the corner relieved that Fred had just come home from hospital, there was a moment where we lost him, and probably planning out their next prank.
Harry and Ginny were practically on top of each other and Ron was stood behind them, a look of pure disgust on his face. Mr and Mrs Weasley however had a grim look on their face as they eyed the neatly stacked letters on the table in front of them.
I coughed slightly to let everyone know I was here. I was surprised to see both Percy and Charlie in the room too, both no longer living at home. Nobody seemed to have heard me so I tried a little louder. Mrs Weasley whipped her head around and smiled at me when she saw me.
"Now that everyone is here let's open these letter." She quickly distributed the letters and soon enough everyone had one. As I examined my letter I noticed that it came from Hogwarts. Why would the twins, Percy and Charlie receive a letter from Hogwarts? Unable to contain my curiosity any more I ripped open my letter.

Dear Miss Granger
I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to re-do your final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed your book list and a questionnaire that you must complete and send back to the Ministry of Magic by the 30th July. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Headmistress McGonagall.

Inside the envelope was a thick questionnaire, at least five pages long and each question seemed as pointless as the last. 'What is your favourite colour' and 'pick an number between 1 and 250,000' seemed to have no relevance to anything. Everyone had turned to Mr Weasley and Percy and asked what these questionnaire's were for, neither however had an answer. I guess we would just have to wait and find out what September 1st brought.

However I should have realised that this letter was going to change my life forever.

*Authors Note*
I couldn't bare to kill Fred, it just wasn't fair. I hope you guys don't mind.
