The wizard population is dwindling after more than half of the population was killed during the war. The Ministry of Magic are taking desperate measures, without knowing how much their decisions are going to impact the lives of everyone around them.
"Desperate times," announced the Minister of Magic, "call for desperate measures."
With a unanimous decision, the Ministry decreed a new law, effective, immediately.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the legendary Golden Trio were going to be effected greatly, as were their friends, classmates.....and relationships.
The new law stated, "...those above the age of seventeen and below the age of twenty five, will be matched with a chosen partner and will be expected to marry within five months and produce two children within a given requirement (to be determined). All previous relationships will be set aside as the chosen candidates will be matched with a spouse that is guaranteed optimal chance for lasting."
Life as the adults knew it would never be the same. After all, desperate times, call for desperate measures.
