Marriage Law | Draco Malfoy

1. ᴴᵒᵍʷᵃʳᵗˢ ˡᵉᵗᵗᵉʳ*

AN: Sorry I'm skipping through the first chapter, i promise the next chapters will be longer, and more interesting

The second wizarding war was very damaging. Not only to hogwarts but to every wizard mentally.

Coming out of the war was Delia Weasley, heartbroken at the loss of her brother,  family, friends
Living in a loving family, Delia hadn't experienced grief as harshly as she did losing fred, remus, tonks, lavender, etc.

For months she would just stay in her room and cry for hours on end, she'd barely left her room much, or eaten. But george helped her, when he'd visited and delia saw the state he was in, she realized she was no better. So together they worked on getting better. After a few weeks delia was a bit better, and didn't cry as often. She also began spending time with her twin ron

she had realized how George lost fred, and her twin was still here. She not only realized how truly lucky She was considering how much danger Ron has always been in being Harry's best mate, She decided to never take a moment for granted ever again.

With the help from many, soon enough hogwarts was ready to open up again, and out letters were sent, suprised when delia got a letter as well as every seventh year, they would be retaking their final year properly.

It was a hard decision for her and she pondered for hours what she would do, luckily she had Hermione to help sway her to finish her education
Delia decided after much procrastination to attend hogwarts for her final year.

The sorting was soon to begin, but of course the sorting hat had to sing its song

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

After the sorting hat concluded its song, the first year students were sorted into their respected houses. Each table would clap for the young children as they were sorted into their houses.

"Before we begin, i would like to ask that all seventh year students would stay after the feast.."

After  first through sixth year students left, headmaster McGonagall began her speech

"I wish i could have stopped this, but i cannot. Due to the loss of magical blood, the ministry has decided that all seventh years must marry within the year"

Students began protesting
"RUBBISH".

"THIS ISNT BLOODY FAIR"

And the couples began to worry, delia held rons hand in comfort as he had a very worried look etched onto his face.

"SILENCE" McGonagall yelled "you have no choice, there will be a soulmate potion to determine your accurate marriage and or your true soulmate" she paused "we will now begin" McGonagall forced a smile and took out a scroll and began reading off names.

"neville longbottom"

"LUNA LOVEGOOD" A/N : i know luna is a year under, and so is ginny but i am gonna have them into their seventh year in this

"Hermione granger"

"RONALD WEASLEY"

"Harry Potter"

"GINERVA WEASLEY"

"Dean thomas"

"SEAMUS FINNIGAN"

"Pansy parkinson"

"GREGORY GOYLE"

"Delia weasley"
Delia could feel her heart was pounding in her chest, and delia swore she was going to collapse as she walked up , McGonagall handed her the small vial, she looked to the metallic red potion and gulped hard, slowly untwisting the cap, she was trying to stall, but after McGonagall gave her a hard stare, she quickly downed the potion
the name appeared under Delia's name on the scroll moments later and McGonagall widened her eyes reading out the name

"D-DRACO MALFOY"

The rest of the sorting her mind was lost, she was soulmates with the man who bullied her family and friends since first year, a ex-death eater.

She would steal glances and see him looking at her intensely with his stormy grey eyes but she'd look back down each time ashamed. delia was sure all the chicken she ate would leave her body, she was so scared, so nervous.

"You will be sharing a dorm with your new partner, and have the next week off classes." McGonagall stated as couples began leaving with one another and headed to their dorms
