The letter
Harry Read the letter twice before rushing to the burrow.
"Is Ginny here? Hermione, Fleur, your mum? Any female?" He demanded of a stunned Ron.
"Mums in the kitchen, having woman troubles are you?" Ron joked.
"Mrs Weasley, you there, where's Ginny?" He ran through to the kitchen ignoring Ron.
"Upstairs, taking a nap, everything alright?" Mrs Weasley.
"I hope this is a prank." Harry shoved a letter into Mrs Weasley's hands before running up the stairs.
"GINNY" Harry roared.
"Harry calm down, what's going on." Ron yelled after his friend who was running into his sisters room.
"She's not here." Harry said as he sprinted back down stairs.
He ran to the kitchen to look at Mrs Weasley's magical clock. It's hands showed where everyone of the weasley family members were. More recently Fleur, Harry and Hermione had been added.
To Harry's dismay it showed that Ginny, Fleur and Hermione were all sleeping according to the clock.
"Shit, Ron apparate to shell cottage, see if Fluer is there, if not bring Bill back, we need a plan. I'm going to Hermione's." Harry demanded.
"Wait, what is going on." Ron asked perplexed.
"Please just do it, I'll explain in a bit." Harry said as he flooed to Hermione's.
"HERMIONE, YOU HERE?" Harry yelled. He was met with silence. He checked her bedroom just in case, not even bothering to knock.
After checking everyroom he flooed back to the burrow.
"She's not there, how can this be happening?" Harry asked no-one in particular. Mr weasley and George had joined the matriarch. Both obviously having read Harry's letter by their strained faces.
Ron and Bill ran back into the room.
"I got Bill no Fleur, will you please explain what's going on." Ron said exasperated.
"Umbridge and the ministry have taken every witch between the ages of 17 and 40. They have some true love spell on them. All men between the same ages are invited to go and try and wake them with true loves kiss. It's disgusting. It's all our fault." George told him.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's go get them, you must be Ginny's true love Harry." Ron said sprinting to the floo.
"It's not open until 12pm tomorrow. And how is it your fault?" Harry said turning to George.
"Myself and George came up with a potion that made you say the name of your true love. A bunch of women we know tried it out last night, ginny, Hermione and Fleur included. This morning Umbridge had come by and bought some, she claimed it was dangerous and took all our stock, told us we were not allowed to sell it until the ministry had tested it. I have no idea how she found out about it, it only works on women so were only testing it last night. It really seems to work. They must have adapted it for this. It was meant to be fun not evil." George said with fear in his voice.
"It's not your fault son, the minister of magic has corrupted it, not you." Arthur told him.
"There is a safe guard, we did make sure it will only say the name of your true love that cannot be changed, so it stands to reason that shouldn't have changed. We just need to make sure we get there first and hope we are their true loves. The girls never told us who's name they said. Angelina only said I was hers and the rest were for the girls to tell the men in question themselves. Fred is currently checking all their flats. I'm so sorry everyone. "
"No-one blames you or Fred. Ron make a list of all the decent men we know and owl them to meet us here. Mrs Weasley did Ginny tell you any names?" Harry asked.
Mrs Weasley looked distraught. But with a deep breath and look of determination she stood up.
"Ginny told me she said your name Harry, she was so happy. Lavender said Ron's, Luna is Nevilles true love. And Fleur with Bill. Penelope with Percy. That's all I can remember. I am sorry."
"Did she say about Hermione?" Harry pleaded.
"No she only said, it was someone a little older, they have only met a few times. Hermione wasn't sure what she was doing about it yet. She had asked all the women there not to tell anyone. I wish I had pushed for her to tell me now."
"It's fine, Mrs Weasley, no-one coud have known this would happen. Ron have you sent owls?"
"Yes on their way now." Ron replied looking perplexed.
Fred flooed in at that point, followed soon after by Percy.
"Guessing you all know by now. The queue outside the ministry is already starting. I'm going to head down and join, I am not letting anyone else kiss Penelope." Percy told them and quickly left.
People they from their time at hogwarts started arriving in dribs and drabs .
"Okay, Harry, Ron, Bill, George, Neville and anyone else who knows who their true love or is in a serious relationship go down to the ministry. We will try and work ideas from here." Mr Weasley told the growing crowd.
"Sounds like a plan, but I don't know who mine is." Neville told them.
"It's Luna, we will explain once we are there." Harry told him.
