Christmas morning

Hermoine p.o.v

I woke up early in morning, went to shower and got dressed.

Grabbed presents and went outside the room

On stairs I bumped into someone my presents fell down , "sorry" , we both said at the same time

That someone was Charlie ,"sorry its my fault, I didn't see you. Are you alright? "he said

"I'm fine sorry its my fault too I was looking at my presents ", I replied

We both started to collect my presents , I tried to get a box same box Charlie did , our hands touch

I was just staring into his blue eyes, but he turned collected my presents . his voice brought me back to reality. He handed me presents when he turned to leave ,"merry Christmas Charlie" I said

He wished "merry Christmas" without any emotions then he started climbing stairs.

I went downstairs, hugged Molly "merry Christmas" , wish you the same dear she replied

She's like my mother to me. Arthur and Molly treated me as their daughter. The Harry , Ron ,Ginny , Percy and others came down with their presents. Greeted each other with presents and started having breakfast.

After breakfast , Arthur said "attention everyone I have something to tell you all . Due to war wizard population decreased hence we passed a new law......"

"What's it dad ?",asked Ron. " let me finish Ron , MARRIAGE LAW

Under this law All wizards above 18 yrs should be married with the person chosen by the ministry they have one year to produce child"

when Arthur said thisHarry spit pumpkin juice. Everyone was shocked except Percy he works with dad so he might know about it.

"this is ridiculous " said ron . I felt the same ministry can't marry us with someone. Everyone has dream about their marriage due to this law everything is shattered. I am just 20 is it a age for marriage?

Everyone was fuming except Charlie, I was confused does he know about it or he agree with this

Arthur continued "Silience everyone if you didn't want to marry your magic will be taken and you will be sent to muggle world so you have no choice",

Molly passes everyone a envelope when she handed one envelope to Charlie

He didn't accept,and asked " is it for me?"

"Yes dear "Molly replied.

NO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING I'M NOT LIVING HERE SO WHY SHOULD I MARRY SOMEONE ,he said with anger

"But you have to", said Arthur

Charlie took the envelope from Molly's hand and burned it with that he apparated

Everyone was shocked with his act

Arthur said I will talk with him later so everyone open your envelopes

Molly said percy first you open

He slowly opened his envelope everyone was looking at him ,"la...lavender brown"

"What? "Ginny stood up and snatched his letter its true his fiancé is lavender

He gave a worried look, "she is very nice and sweet girl don't worry Percy" said Ginny.

Next "George open yours" said Molly

" hmm.... Padma patil" said in a smirking way

I think he liked her, next Ron I saw his hand was shaking and he let out a sigh "I don't believe

this "he said while staring it unbelievably .Harry looked into his letter and said "Parvati patil"

"I'm doomed" ,Ron put his face between his hand. Harry patted his back" don't worry ron"

I felt bad for Ron

"So I will be having twin sisters as my daughter- in –laws" ,Molly exclaimed

"Harry its your turn"

" Luna Lovegood" he said with a smile

Harry liked her, I felt always that she is more than a friend to him. I'm very happy for him

Ginny opened her envelope excitedly "Neville Longbottom" said happily

Neville liked Ginny very much and she also felt something towards him, now it is a chance to them be together and with Ginny expression she looked very happy as Neville is her life partner.

Harry brought me back to reality "Oh god !! its my turn , I'm scared to open it

What if I don't know that person? Or he will be cruel?

I always wanted to fell in love and then get married

I'want to burn it but I' cant give up my magic

Everyone was looking at me, slowly opened my envelope with a little hope

But when I saw that name

I became dumbfouned tears formed in my eyes

Breaking the silence "who is it? " asked ginny

I don't even have courage to say his name

Harry took the letter from my hand and started reading it

He looked at me with a shock

Who's is it ? Dear asked Molly concernedly

"Cha.....Charles weasley "
