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."

Vexed- A Dramione Fanfic by thisgirlisfeisty

Draco Malfoy had changed a great deal since his Hogwarts days and so had Hermione Granger. The War changed everybody. Who thought that the Ferret would become friends with The Chosen One and he could maintain a civil relationship with the Brightest Witch of her Age? Times surely had changed. But there was only so much that the Slytherin Prince could do before he would snap at the Gryffindor Warrior's know-it-all attitude, especially when they are teamed up on a top-secret mission for the Ministry. When a spell goes awfully wrong and sends the duo back to the 19th Century, Regency Era, will they be able to survive by pretending to be a married couple on a visit or will their differences take over? The clock is ticking, the world is at stake and hormones are flying everywhere. Will the two manage to control the situation before time runs out?

Is Love Blind? by jc_herondale17

"In accordance with The Postwar Population Planning Act, witches or wizards above the age of seventeen will be required to form a marriage union within six months of their seventeenth birthday." Hermione falls headfirst into the Ministry's new Mandated Dating Service, following the passing of a glorified Marriage law. Her plans of finding a "tolerable man with whom she can coexist", are quickly foiled when three men earn her favor. The Catch, however, is that their identities are to remain hidden until a marriage agreement has been arranged. Who will Hermione choose? Will her decision change after she learns the identities of her three suitors?

Hermione and Harry Potter Love Story by JanessaKlute

It's been a couple of years since the whole battle at Hogwarts. A couple of years since Harry defeated Voldemort. Harry and Ginny dated for a while and then broke up 3 weeks ago. Hermione and Ron dated for a while and broke up 3 months ago. What if Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny fall for different people that no one thought they'd ever fall for. Especially with the new marriage law. The marriage law where Harry and Hermione got paired up to get married. The marriage law where Ron and Luna got paired up to get married. The marriage law where Ginny and Draco got paired up to get married. Maybe people do change after all.

The Fine Print: A Yearning Mans Best Friend by MarieBrown480

A new Ministry decree requires every witch and wizard of childbearing age to register for a magical compatibility pairing - unless they're already married. When the registry matches Hermione Granger with Cormac McLaggen, she panics. And the only person willing to offer a way out? Draco Malfoy. "Temporary arrangement. We marry, delay the system, then quietly annul it before the year is out." "You're out of your mind." "You have better options?" Living together. Sharing paperwork. Hosting fake dinners for Ministry inspections. It's a nightmare, because the biggest problem with this arrangement, is that Draco Malfoy has been pathetically in love with Hermione Granger for years, and will do anything to make the circumstances work in his favor.
