To Love or Not To Love.
[/color][/b]Harry and Company have graduated from Hogwarts and many have found love in old friends, or for some in rather different places. But who can stop love? Many of their parents tried to stop certain marriages from occuring seeing them as the wrong move for their child, or wanting to keep their bloodline as pure as possible. This didn't matter and the couples found a way around their parents' interferences. This older generation however was not going to be stopped, and many began to disown their children, for some this was a huge blow and they came crawling back to their parents. An agreement was decided on and the older generation made it their responsibility to pair up at least one of their grandchildren with the "right" person.
The new adults agreed rather reluctantly but knew it was not their choice if they wanted their parents support as they began their families. Now they have all grown older and the grandparents are busily making matches for their grandchildren. These pairings are made solely on the basis of what would be best for the family and not the sake of the children. But will their grandchildren be able to find love in their new betrotheds or will they rebel. Many are finding that grandma and grandpa have pretty decent taste, but others are still refusing to allow this to happen.
There has been a group started in the school of both betrothed and non that are setting up protests against the older generation. Many blame their parents for not listening when they were younger, but they realize that the marriages will not take place till after they graduate, so they can either learn to live with their betrothed or, they can fool around until they graduate. Not only have these old families decided to pair up their children but they are making deals with families that seem as if they would never do such a thing to their children. In the end however, there are only a small handful of families who have not bought into this and 10 couples have been formed without the input of the children.[/center]
