PERPETRATOR: BlackCatBethany
SUE-O-METER: Toxic
COVER/BANNER ART: The writer's avatar is a cute black cat. The story however is in no way cute.
SUMMARY:”- AU, disregards Deathly Hallows (particularly Fred's death), HUMOR/ROMANCE/ANGST MARRIAGE LAW SEE AUTHORS NOTES - Soliel and Fred were raised together, but they've never actually gotten along. The Ministry passes a Marriage Law and the two are slated to be But is this going to be the marriage from hell, or will it turn into something real? r&r.” Nothing about this story is even remotely funny.
FULL NAME: Soliel Dupree
SPECIES: She's an American Sue, and not under the ministries jurisdiction.
HAIR: Don't care.
EYES: See above.
MARKINGS: See above...
POSSESSIONS: See above...
CONNECTION TO CANON: She's Fred and George's childhood friend who has nothing to do with the plot, went to a different school, and moved to another country, but is still forced to come back. Fred gets his letter regarding who he's to marry, and he's supposed to be glad it's someone he knows. George enters, not at all bothered that he was forced to marry someone. In fact, there is little to no reaction to this beyond Weasley. She shows up, and acts in a very rude manner towards Fred. The first real chapter ends with the author pretty much asking the readers “could they make it 5 years (because that's how long the Ministry seemed to think that law would be a necessary evil, that's what they were pinning ther hopes on, at the ver least,) without killing one another or winding up in a ward at St. Mungos?” Chapter two, and we have “by now, Hermione was caught up on the history between Fred and Soliel, and she continued to insist that it was like one of her beloved romance fictions, that people more oft than not disquised their true feelings when they were too afraid and stubborn to face the,” Gag me, thank you for making Hermione out of character, but making the entire chapter about gossiping about how perfect the couple is. The Sue extolls the fact “forgetting one thing, Fleur.. he hates me and I.” By the end, they get the idea to get the ministry to disolve the whole thing, but also Fred dreaming of the Sue in the “frilly little things he'd caught a glimpse of as she packed earlier”. The Sue is lucky, because the Ministry actually gives her more then one choice. She turns him down, and is still forcing Fred to marry her, or end up in jail. Chapter five, or the one marked six is the Sue angsting about how unfair things are to her. (Sue, you at least got to choose between two people, so I don't get what you're complaining about.) Next chapter, they're making out - kissing. She wonders about the chapter in “8. and the bride wore red”. They make out again. They go to Los Angelas, California in chapter nine to get her things, and they make out with each other, as if they were never forced into this marriage. By chapter thirteen, the last one, she's pregnant.
ORIGIN: The author's note starts off with, “SECOND, YES, I REALIZE FRED IS DEAD. BUT I HATED HIM DYING. THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE SERIES, MY TIME AS A READER/WATCHER, I GOT QUITE ATTACHED TO HIS CHARACTER, THE WEASLEYS IN GENERAL, ACTUALLY. SO NOBODY HAS TO TELL ME THAT HE'S DEAD. I'M AWARE OF THIS, IT'S ALTERNATE UNIVERSE FOR A REASON, PEOPLE.”, and moves on to “I'VE READ A LOT OF GOOD MARRIAGE LAW FICS, SO I THOUGHT ABOUT USING IT TO BRING FRED BACK, GIVE HIM HIS OWN 'LIFE' POST WAR.” The writer is also under the impression, “I'VE READ A LOT OF GOOD MARRIAGE LAW FICS, SO I THOUGHT ABOUT USING IT TO BRING FRED BACK, GIVE HIM HIS OWN 'LIFE' POST WAR. THE WRITERS OF THE OTHER AND ARGUABLY BETTER FICTIONS ON HERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO INSPIRED ME. THE OTHER REASON I WROTE THIS IS BECAUSE I LOVE ROMANTIC COMEDY AND WHAT BETTER TO BASE ONE AROUND THAN A MARRIAGE LAW.”
SPECIAL ABILITIES: “FYI: MY ORIGINAL CHARACTER WAS NOT A MAJOR PLAYER IN ANY OF THE EVENTS OF THE BOOK, SHE WAS A BACKBURNER PERSON WHO ONLY REALLY KNEW GEORGE AND FRED, THE WEASLEY FAMILY, ATTENDED BEAUBATONS UNTIL HER PARENTS DEATHS DURING THE WAR, WHEN SHE FLED/WAS SENT TO AMERICA TO LIVE AMONG MUGGLES.. THAT SHOULD MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY, OC'S TEND TO GET A BAD RAP, BECAUSE THEY KNOW LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THE STORIES AND ARE FRIENDS WITH ALL OF THEM. FOR THOSE CURIOUS, SHE IS A PUREBLOOD. HER FAMILY, HOWEVER, WERE CONSIDERED 'BLOOD TRAITORS' BY MOST, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LOOK DOWN ON MUGGLES.” (Actually Suethor, doing this does not help.) The writer also, “I ACTUALLY TRIED FINDING THE REAL MARRIAGE LAW, SO FAR, NO SUCH LUCK. SO I SAT DOWN, MADE UP MY OWN.” We also have your typical story where characters are forced to marry, but also this ridiculous idea that “the Marriage Law is brought back, post war, when the population is at an all time low, world wide in the wizarding community.” Oh, and even though she's in America, and under a different Ministry of Magic, she is still being forced to marry. She competes in dance as well, something revealed in chapter two. Because she's a former Beaubaton, she's got charm.
NOTES: The writer is twenty. Actually, they're likely twenty-two, as it looks like the account is not being used anymore. Marriage Law stories for the most part are a contrived way to force two characters to get together. The fact the Sue is from America, and not under the jurisdiction prooves that is the purpose for this fic.

CHAPTER 01:
The Owl That Completely Changed Our Lives
Fred had only been out of St. Mungos and back with his family for the total of one week, and was still in a great deal of pain due to injuries suffered by the last battle, the battle he very nearly died in, when the owl came.
He was lying on his mum's couch as a matter of fact when the letter was dropped rather unceremoniously onto his lap, almost falling into the bowl of warm soup his mum was forcefeeding him round the clock to help him 'feel better'.
"The Ministry's sending me something? This can't be good." he muttered as he glanced at the white envelope bearing his name and address warily before handling it as if it were made of snakes or something.
The news on the latest newspaper caught his attention and he palmed his face, groaning. The headline read simply, MARRIAGE LAW PASSED BY MINISTRY. He stared at the letter again for a moment and then took it from where he'd tossed it down to read the newspaper, tearing it open.
It is the Ministry's decision that no later than December 24th, 1999, Fred Weasley will hereby be required to wed Soliel Dupree of Los Angeles, California, formerly of Beaubaton's, for a period of no more than 5 years, should the marriage law hereby be lifted and either party choose to dissolve said union.
Failure to comply with this decree will result in the arrest of offending party and imprisionment in Azkaban for a period of no more than 5 years.
We eagerly await your answer regarding this matter, Mr. Weasley.
This had the 21 year old male standing and swearing up a storm, much to the chagrin of his worried mother who feared he'd injure himself.
"What's wrong?"
"That bloody Marriage Law, that's what's wrong." Fred scowled as he thrust the letter back at his mum and let her read it. Molly's eyes scanne the page, smiling when she read the name.. At least Soliel was someone they were familiar with, it wasn't like some of the people she knew, forced to marry complete strangers.
She shot a glance at her son and said "This might not be such a bad thing."
"Bloody hell, woman, we hated each other. She threw shoes at me when we were smaller and playing together! Of course it's bad, it's the bloody worst thing that could happen to me."
"What is, Gred?" George asked as he and his own wife stepped in, George giving his brother an amused smile as he eyed the letter his very angry brother held out, taking it eventually, reading it.
The second he read her name, he nearly doubled over in laughter and then said "At least she's not a stranger, yeah?"
"We bloody hate one another, George.. You remember the last time we were stuck in a confined area for more than 3 minutes together."
George eyed his brother while thinking, 'I also remember a night a certain brother of mine got drunk on Firewhiskey and was lying on his bed, telling me how he ' loved her, wanted to go to find her.'
