One in One thousand

Chapter 2

Dear, Hermione Jean Granger

Ever since the wizarding war our population has been dwindling at a rapid rate at which natural conception cannot keep up with. The wizarding world of London as we know it is at the brink of extinction. Due to this fact a new law has been passed by the Ministry. Every witch and wizard from the ages of 17-35 will be forced to marry by this time next year and have an heir by 9 months from now. This means that you will have to have sex with the person that the ministry randomly assigns within the week. A ministry official will be present during conception to make sure that it is being done. The marital assignments will all be chosen at the ministry at 3:00 this afternoon and you will be expected to attend. If you fail to do so or if failing in what is asked by the ministry, you will be stripped of your magic and banished from the wizarding world. We thank you for your copperation and look foward to seeing you at 3:00 today. Dress formally

Sincerely, Kinglsey Shacklebolt Ministry of Magic

Hermione was livid wait screw livid she was pissed. So fucking pissed. The ministry has the fucking nerve to whore her out to a random guy to have his children and to marry him. She would not stand for this. Hermione pulled on her robe and stormed down the stairs and into her bookshop. 

Hermione lived on top the the bookstore she owned in muggle london. It sold both books of magic and books for muggle so she could have both streams of customers. The bookstore is how she met her love Jacob.

Jacob and Hermione had been together for just over a year. They met when Jacob walked into Hermione's bookstore and asked for a job. After sometime as just friends there relationship grew into romance and now they were in love.

'Oh merlin what am I gonna tell Jacob' thought Hermione as she tore through her shop in rage looking for her floo powder with the direct line to the minister. Hermione found the powder and stormed back upstairs threw the floo powder in the fire and waited for Kinglsey to appear on the other side.

Kingsleys face shown in the fire and immediatley started explaining himself, " Hemione before you get all mad at me let me just say that I had no choice in the matter. The Wizengamot decied and I can't over rule that, I am just as upset as you are but frankly there are no other options"

Hermione visibly calmed after hearing Kingsley's words. He had a point there was no other choice if what they were saying was true it was this or the wizarding world go extinct. Hermione took a deep breath and said, "I understand but what about those who are in relationships whether it be with wizards or muggles"

Kingsley sucked in a breath and responded, " If they are not married or engaged all is fair game the chosing will happen in a similar way to the tri- wizard tournament, there will be one bowl with all the boy names and one with all the girl names and whichever two come out at the same time will be paired together no ifs ands or buts about it, however those names are soulmates so it isn't technically random it choses your soulmate"

"Our soulmate but Jacob is my soulmate? Does the ministry seriously have to watch us have sex" questioned Hermione

"Unfortunately yes to make sure that you actually comply. Now you best be getting ready today is a big day for you Miss Granger" Kingsley said while hopping off the floo call.

Hermione took a deep breath and composed herself she grabbed her phone took a picture of the letter and sent it to Jacob with tears streaming down her cheeks.

At 2:30, Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley stepped through the floo and into Hermiones living room. They all looked like the life had been sucked out of them by a dementor.
