Intro. The sound of hundreds of footsteps echoes in the stone corridors, mixing with murmurs of excitement and nervousness. As upper-year students take their seats at tables that glow in the light of thousands of floating candles, a hesitant line of freshmen stands at the front. All eyes turn to the old, patched-up Sorting Hat. The Great Hall is slowly filling with students; Magic is palpable in the air, and centuries-old tradition is about to begin again. The selection, the banquet and the party missing the arrival of the newly-minted wizards. "Daily Prophet Newspaper - (ARRANGED MARRIAGE) After the end of the Second Wizarding War and the final fall of Voldemort, wizarding society underwent great changes. Due to the casualties, the Ministry of Magic created a wizarding decree that single wizards must marry to have children and thus save society. Through a compatibility spell, couples are formed and are married by the Ministry of Magic."
