The Law of Magic

Chapter 7

🦁Hermione's POV 🦁

I woke up from my 4 hours nap. I couldn't sleep after hearing the law. I was thinking of how my parents will react.

I wrote them a letter saying what the new law was and how will it happen. I also told them that I am choosing to keep my magic and marry some bloke.

I pulled my hair and cursed. Why must it be me?

Knowing my parents, I don't think they'll think the same way I will but it is still my choice. I hope they can respect it. It's not like it's my fault, right?

I went in the shower and stripped off. I rubbed my hair with my vanilla and cinnamon scented shampoo through and through.

Next, I rubbed my strawberry scented soap into my skin. I love the smell of these things. The hot water burned my skin but I didn't care. I was thinking of how would I answer the questions of the test which will change my life forever.

When I went out of the shower I saw at my muggle alarm clock that it was only 7:30 am in the morning and most of my dorm mates are still sleeping. Our classes start at 9:00 am and I was kinda early.

I got a pair of skin toned jeans and a classy like Vero Moda branded T-shirt. I wore an one inch strapless stilettos in black color and grabbed my new Gryffindor robe.

We are allowed to wear anything we want underneath our robes now but that only applies to 7th years who returned.

I tamed my hair using some Sleekeazy's potion for taming hair. I styled it in a French braid with a mini diamond clip. My make up was just simple. Mascara, Foundation, and a light color of pink tint for my lip.

I got my books, things, and bag. I was ready to face this outrageous marriage law and whoever this boy is.

I arrived at the Great Hall only to see Ginny, Harry, and Ron already there. So much for being punctual. I sat next to Harry, across Ginny who was beside Ron.

Ron was eating like a pig again.

"RONALD! Slow down!" I told him for the millionth time and it was honestly getting old.

"Nahhh!!!" He replied in a sing-tone voice which made me irritated and I scowled at him.

"What if the food gets stuck in your mouth because you're eating too fast and what if you spilled it from your mouth and the food scattered all around us?! That's disgusting Ronald! Please, Have some manners!"  I tried to talk him again out of this but he just shrugged.

"You disgust me Ronald!"

Ronald and I kept on arguing about his manners again and again but he just wouldn't listen. I finally gave up and sighed in defeat.

I titled my head around and there I saw Ginny and she looked awful. Her eyes were bloodshot and very red, poor thing.

I turned around my head to my right and glanced at Harry. I noticed that he was just the same. It hurts me to see my best friends like this.

This law is outrageous!

"Harry, Ginny...I-I'm sorry," I whispered to them genuinely. I spoke loud enough for them to hear but the others didn't hear it.

"No worries. It's the ministry," Harry replied and smiled at me. I've known him since he was only 11. He can't lie to me. I know his smile was fake.

"Yeah. Hopefully, This bloke I'm marrying is...nice," Ginny added as she also tried to smile genuinely but she obviously failed.

"So, What's your first class Ginny?" I asked while getting two pieces of bacon and pancakes. I also got some orange juice instead of pumpkin juice. It was getting old too.

I didn't need to ask Harry and Ron due to the fact that we are in the same year.

"Defense against the Dark Arts with Professor Bill Weasley," Ginny smiled proudly.

"Lucky!" I replied while laughing.

We kept talking and laughing like there's nothing wrong. We ate until we were full until finally we stood up.

I'm ready for the rest of the bloody hell day! Throw your best shots at me for I will not falter and cry.

I am Hermione Granger!
