September 4th 1999
A letter arrived at half past nine at night.
Dear Miss Hermione Granger,
We are pleased to tell you that you will be the face of this Marriage Law.
Your magical core match with five eligible bachelors (it is more so you can show everyone how easy it is!), Please come to the Department of Law and Enforcement on the 6th of September at 10 a.m.
Sincerely Drusilla Quade.
What the fuck?
What the actual fuck? It is wrong with the magical world.
I mean this is far, further than what I would’ve expected them to go so the magic didn’t die.
I don't want it to die, but you know I don't need the pressure to have children, but children with five men?!
I mean at least they said ahead of time so I could drown in alcohol for a day before, that was nice of them, but that's probably what they expect, right?
I’ll sleep now then tomorrow, I guess Diagon Alley shopping and meet up with Ginny.
Hermione waved her wand and turned off all the lights, climbed in bed, and closed her eyes waiting for sleep to take her.
She woke up and decided to wear a skin-tight strapless black dress with a black leather jacket, that Sirius gave her, paired with black thigh-high heels, jewelry, and sunglasses.
She went with natural makeup nothing too fancy or basic, just highlighting her features more, just like Ginny said.
She grabbed her tote bag, which was filled with books makeup money etc.. and walked towards the floo before calling out, ‘Diagon Alley’ before stepping in.
“Hey ‘Mione! So I thought we could go clothes shopping for you but before you say no I will shop and you can stay in flourish and blotts?” Ginny started walking out and Hermione followed.
“Fine just this one time but, I will pay you back, meet you here in an hour (1 pm)” Ginny nodded and sped off towards the shops while she decided to take it slow towards Flourish and Blotts.
Diagon Alley had grown so much after the war, colors brighter than before, everyone just wanting to forget or celebrate the winning of the golden trio.
She opened the door and the bell rang.
She grabbed a book ( I say a book but I mean 4) from the new arrivals and bought them then proceeded to sit down and read until Ginny got back but that was if she ever did…followed shortly by Hermione just deciding to buy the books, they seemed interesting and different from the usual.
“Oh, Hermione!” Ginny called and Hermine rolled her eyes Ginny’s voice was a sweet sing-song right now and that meant she had bought something revealing and sexy.
Ginny was sometimes a pain but I was happy to have her by my side at least, I still hadn’t told her about the news yet…
“I got like three of everything.” Ginny paused as Hermione nodded along. “They all look nice but I feel like there’s something you’re not telling me, am I right?”
Hermione sighed, “Fine there is but, this isn’t a conversation to have here it’s more of a wine and pad-thai kind of situation.” She said in a hushed tone.
Ginny rushed towards the door before shouting, “What are you waiting for then?!” And Hermione quickly followed as they ran to the nearest apparition point.
She (Hermione) had inherited her Abuela’s house it had nine en-suite bathrooms and many many more rooms that weren’t being used.
They quickly apparated to Hermione’s house and set their order for Pad-thai.
As soon as it arrived they dug in and Hermione started talking.
“So basically you know that marriage law?” Ginny nodded. “They’ve demanded me to be the face of the operation and before you ask no I can’t say no and I’ve been put with five people, two extra husbands” Ginny’s mouth dropped in shock.
“Seriously?!” Hermione nodded this time “I don’t think you can get out of this Mione, I mean at least I shopped for a whole new wardrobe for you.” Ginny winked.
“That’s one of the two reasons I agreed, you already know the other one.” She smiled.
“You know maybe it won’t be too bad but the amount of children I may have to have…” She’d groan.
“I mean that is annoying but they may be cute children, I could spoil them rotten!” Ginny exclaimed and sipped her wine.
“Right so, I guess tomorrow I’m gonna meet my matches and be happy or sad? Also, you should probably go it’s around 11 pm so Harry will be missing you.”
“I probably should, I’ll see you whenever I see you.” Ginny would walk towards the floo and leave in a swish of green flames.
Since Ginny had left, she had managed to clean up the whole house (Only the dirty rooms) within one hour and got ready for bed which would have taken longer if she hadn’t been motivated.
She climbed into bed and closed her eyes waiting for the darkness to take her into the light.
Thursday 6th Of September 1999,
Hermione woke up late.
She was half an hour late to her own matching sorting thing (It didn’t matter what it was called it was still gonna be messed up).
She immediately freshened up and got dressed in a floral jacket with a white v-neck shirt and baggy jeans.
Quickly applied a dab of natural makeup and ran out of the house and apparated. (I mean literally ran out of the house and apparated).
She arrived at the ministry and quickly entered a lift, up to floor two (Department of Law and Enforcement), and casually walked into the meeting room finding 6 eyes on her, 5 men and 1 Drusilla Quade staring at her.
“Hi?” She said while everyone was silent.
She took that time to see who was there; Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, and Charlie Weasley.
This did (unfortunately) include Drusilla Quade.
“Hello Ms. Granger, I am Drusilla Quade as you may already and this bunch of handsome bachelors are in your family group, please introduce yourself.” Silence “Now.” Drusilla said in an angry hushed tone.
“Hey Kitten, we were a little freaked out too but I don’t think we have to introduce ourselves because I think you’re already familiar with all of us,” Sirius responded.
Draco decided to pipe up “We were hoping after this we could go to your house since ours are cursed tiny or messy.” She just nodded.
“You may leave now,” Drusilla said.
“Just follow me.” She went out of the room to the elevator and floor one, finally into the floo back to her house.
“Right, so basically just settle in a living room while I just grab some drinks and snacks.” She said.
“I’ll help carry,” Remus followed her into the kitchen and grabbed the snack bowls she had prepared earlier while she grabbed the drinks for everyone, and walked into the living room before, carefully putting them down.
I KNOW IT'S SHORT BUT I CAN ONLY WRITE SO MUCH TILL I GET DISTRACTED??
