The Ministry of Magic was desperate, the number of casualties in the wizarding world was huge, fearing the extinction of wizards, Minister Quim Shacklebolt determined that wizards between the ages of 18 and 30 should be paired.

Draco was sure that this was an abuse, it was just another way for the Ministry to cut the power of the families of the sacred twenty-eight, he was sure that Shacklebolt would make an example of him for the others when he opened his pairing letter and saw your name

You can be whoever you want, it doesn't matter who, but you will be Draco's enemy. I recommend that you be a half-blood or a Muggle-born
