title: The Betrothal*
oc name: Adreanna Alva
oc nickname: Alva (because the HP universe is obsessed with last names)
face claim: Victoria Morales*
love interest: Regulus Black
trope: forced marriage (in which two people are forced to marry each for whatever reason, and eventually fall in love)
timeline: Marauders Era
status: open - takenplot
The summer before Adreanna's sixth year at Hogwarts, her mother told that she had made arrangements with Walburga Black to have Adreanna betrothed to her son, Regulus Black. She was outraged of course, but agreed nonetheless. After all, it was never smart to disobey pureblood parents.
She hated Regulus Black. To her, he was nothing more than a brainless, snobby, got. But there was nothing she could do. Once they graduated from Hogwarts they would be forced to get married, and that would be it. She'd be nothing more than another pureblood wife, stuck in a loveless, forced to raise kids she didn't want.
But after having to spend time with Regulus, she slowly begins to realize that he's not as bad as she thought, and she might even be falling in love with him.
canons
~Adreanna is in Regulus's year
~her name stays the same because 'dark first and last names' and I think this one fits really well. If you do wish to change the name, you can message the idea you had and I'll tell you if it's okay
~like I said, they hate each other in the beginning so a lot of rude, snappy dialogue between them would be best
~kissing for the first time when drunk
~when they're around the public, or press they have to act like a couple, since nearly everyone would already be aware of their betrothal
~i think it would be cool if Regulus started to fall first, so give like subtle hits on it, like maybe he gives up on their arguments quicker, or his comments are as rude as they previously were
