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.All Rights Reserved

The New Law by NightNoxx

Hermione spit her tea out in shock. This was not for real was it? It had to be a joke! I mean, come on, how could the ministry do this? A marriage law? Why? Yes the wizarding population had sunk considerably during the war, but it was surly rising back up again at a good pace wasn't it? (I currently have this story up on fanfiction.net as well) Completed (A "spin off" called Under the Full Moon is currently being made, it's the story from Luna and Blaise's persepctive) (Working on a rewrite of this story at the moment and I'm working on finishing and bettering the spin off too)

Love after marriage - dramione by zaaray06

83# dramione fan fiction 490# dramione 72# emotional rollercoaster Hermione PoV It's the one of the worst things to ever happen to me, married to a god damn Malfoy. I hate his blonde hair and his annoying black suit, like he's not going to a funeral everyday. At least now he has a reason as he better start watching himself when he walks. Why am I in this becaue of the war and the population has decreased drastically and now I have to receive deathly stares from Malfoy and the only difference is I will be wearing a wedding band. Due to the decrease of population there is a new marriage law but well what can the ministry say if u get partnered with a death eater or mud blood as our two protagonists would argue you better start sorting out your differences, unless of course losing your magic and memory would be the better option My only advice..... try not to murder the other

MATURE SCENES!!!! STRONG LANGUAGE!!! All rights go to Jk Rowling, I am just putting my version of the story out there!!

ROYALTY (Editing) by TheMasked_Girl431

❝Loving your enemy is not easy. Some accept it, while some are hellbent on destroying.❞ Students returned back to Hogwarts to complete their final year after the War saw the defeat of Voldemort and his supporters, almost completely eliminating the practise of dark arts in the wizarding world. They just wanted a simple, stress-free year where they could focus on their graduation. What they didn't want was an underlying conspiracy that threatened to uproot everything that they fought for. Oh, and also a marriage law that could possibly bring lovers together or well, let's hope that the situation doesn't get as bad as some of them having their wands at each other's throats. __________ "Hermione Granger." The goblet glowed in green colour until a piece of parchment flew out of it. Mcgonagall read it and called out the name which was the last thing I remembered because I passed out the very moment the name was announced. Dramatic? I know. But you can't blame me when I was supposed to be married to my once arch enemy. "Draco Malfoy." _________ (Read at your own risk. May contain clichés. You have been warned.) Note: This book is being edited regularly, the chapters are marked (edited) for the same. While the story plot remains the same as my imagination at age 13, the edits will take place on making it flow smoothly. Some chapters are marked (heavily edited) so previous readers are advised to read it again. Thank you.

Media problems could occur if we follow through with the divorce and word gets out, and yet the same thing could be said if we keep the subjects together Three month overview for subject 3A47-D36 Hermione Granger-Weasley has shown extreme anger over her partner for this law, no attempts have been made to reproduce. Both subjects have gotten physically injured fighting with each other, to the point where Mrs Granger-Weasley was hospitalized. No wedding has been consummated to my knowledge.

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?
