The Law of Magic

Chapter 12

💗Third Person's POV💗

"Hermione Jean Granger"

Gasps were heard throughout the entire hall. Everyone looked at Hermione. Her face was expressionless but her brown eyes were telling something else. She was happy.

She figured that Draco has changed. She could try to be with him and if they don't work then they can just divorce. She purposely wrote answers to that would match him.

Hermione wasn't called the Brightest Witch of her Age for nothing. She knew that she has always had hidden feelings for Draco Malfoy.

Yes, He was bad. But he was just misunderstood.

No one wants to be a monster. No one dreams of being a demon, a bad person. Unless being one is the only choice they have.

Ginny stood up from her chair and shouted, "Impossible! You two hate each other!"

Draco. He also smiled. His grey eyes looked amused but his entire face was stoic like always except for his smile, of course.

Was that still stoic?

This made everyone confused.

"Hate is a powerful word to describe it Gin. But you know the saying, The more you hate. The more you love. I'll give it a try. Everyone deserves a second chance," Hermione replied.

Ginny's mouth hang open at Hermione's words and she was lost for words. Harry too was shocked. His face was paled and his eyes showed concern.

"Hermione, This is Malfoy. Yes. I defended him in court but you might never know what type of husband he will be," Harry said. He was completely worried for his sister. She was family to him.

"You didn't say that for Ginny. She was paired up with Zabini," Hermione said and her one of her eyebrows were raised.

"That's because Zabini isn't as ruined as Malfoy. He will drag your name down Mione," Harry replied.

"Harry's right Hermione. As your brothers we pledged to protect you. We don't want you to suffer. The ministry made a mistake. I can deal with Parkinson. But never will I let you end up with a death eater!" Ron said.

His face was red as his hair and his freckles were very visible. His wand was raised and his blue eyes were very worried.

"I'm not a kid that you should protect all the time. As a matter of fact, I always protected you two as well. Besides I'm even older than both of you. Ron we should stop all this prejudice and racism. Let's not forget but let's forgive," Hermione sighed.

Ron was about to cast a spell towards Draco when Hermione walked near him and took his wand from his hand, "We wouldn't your magic to be taken away. Wouldn't we Ron? So please just both of you calm down. We'll talk about this soon. Sit down."

Harry and Ron were left with no choices. As usual Hermione was right. Fighting the Ministry will cost them their magic.

Just like the Minister said. Vines with flowers and leaves appeared in Hermione and Draco's right forehand. As the Minister said it has a writing of Malfoy and it was in the lettering, Calligraphy.

It had touches of silver and gold with a small white dragon and river otter with tiny metallic colored red hearts. It's color was dark version of turquoise and neutral black. It was utterly the most beautiful mark out of all the pairs.

After a hour and a half the ceremony was finished and everyone was with their partners. Terry Boot was paired with Tracey Davis, Michael Corner with Susan Bones, and so on.

Everyone was sitting and already paired.

Everyone except Lea Hahn.

"Lea Hahn?" The Minister asked.

It is evident in Kingsley's eyes that he doesn't want to take the student's magic, her gift and talent.

"Over here," She replied nervously.

She was alone sitting in the long wooden bench that served as the Gryffindor's chairs for eating. In her heart magic was her life.

She loves her friends and she lied about what she said last time. But she won't back down now. She wants to be able to marry anyone she loves. It's now or never.

"Come over," said one of the newest auror, Marcus Flint.

People we're shocked when he chose to be an auror but he told everyone that he has changed. His records are not that bad. So the Ministry decided to let him take the training and test. They did not expect he'd do so well.

He was the second leading auror in his training and test. People doubted him at first but he has shown he had changed and was no longer prejudice.

Lea came over and Flint asked, "Are you ready?"

Flint was in a frown. He didn't want the girl to give up her magic. She might be a Muggleborn but her magic is hers and only hers.

Lea replied and sighed, "Yes. I am."

Flint has no choice now. He must do it. He specializes in memory charms so he is the perfect person to do this.

With a heavy heart he casted the charm.

"Dimidium Oblivate."

(Dimidium is a latin word for half. Only half of her memories needs to be completely wiped out anyway.)

The memories of the wizarding world began to fade in Lea's mind and she fainted.

Flint continued the process and muttered, "Modificare Inversa."

(Modificare Inversa are Italian words for Change and Reverse).

As Flint finished the remaining aurors took out her magic using a special gadget and concealed it in a vile. In front of her classmates her wand was snapped.

Soon Lea was levitated out of the Great Hall and agony came out from every girl from the Gryffindor house in the Great Hall.

After all had been settled the Minister spoke again, "Students you must stay with your partners to create a civil manner towards the person. You will stay in a dorm with 6 people each. Good Luck!"

He left the Great Hall and the Aurors after that. He sighed. He did not want this. But he is the one blamed. Being Minister is really not easy.

After all the ruckus the students were told to get their belongings and trunks from their houses' dorm and get back together at the Great Hall. All the students came back 1 hour later.

"Here is how it will work. A number will appear in your left palm and it will be your floor number. Next beside it is a small drawing of the painting guarding your dorm. I hope you enjoy and get along with your partners and don't worry once you see the number and drawing in your palm it will fade away," the Headmistress explained.

Everyone stood up and went outside the Great Hall. They started looking for their dorms with their partners.

This is the start of their new committed life.
