Sure, the concept has likely been done before, but with the choices out there (Rebuilding the wizarding world vs. Rewriting the final chapters), it's definitely time for a bit of lighthearted fun.
In the Spring of 2002, after years of finally rebuilding the wizarding world to its former glory, Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt enacted a piece of legislation that took the wizarding world by storm. Citing Albus Dumbledore, Minister Shacklebolt expressed his concern over the lines that were still drawn between those who were pureblood and those who didn't have tapestries filled with magical family members for generations and generations. Shacklebolt wanted a "state where everyone was equal," where no one was "judged or made to feel inferior as a result of their birth." The message was embraced by a large percentage of wizarding Britain, though many were curious about how such a utopia could be reached.
After his inspiring speech, nothing happened. Many started to question Shacklebolt and began to wonder if he was going to be just like the previous Ministers of Magic: men who promised the world on a silver platter, but never came through with their promised. Unfortunately, this was far from the case. Inside his office, Kingsley Shacklebolt was busy pushing legislation and finalizing his plans, and on 01 September 2002, they were announced publicly and printed in the Daily Prophet.
It was called
The Marriage Decree - a plan to unite all those with magical abilities together regardless of their blood status. All unmarried citizens of legal age are now required to register their marital status with the Ministry of Magic the day they turn seventeen. Those who do fail to apply by the new laws are considered social terrorists. Those who do register in accordance with the decree can expect an official letter naming the match the Ministry approved and a date for when the marriage must be carried out by. All marriages, arranged or otherwise, must also be approved by the Ministry.
Who will you be getting hitched to?
On a Personal Note: I play Hermione Granger at this game, and I'd really
love to get an
active Ron Weasley before her name is pulled to be engaged to someone else, that way they can have a quick engagement and send this request to the Ministry so they won't be paired off with anyone else, and will be able to marry each other. Hermione really loves Ron, but it's difficult to determine some things without one being in the game, so it'd be great if someone could apply for him!
