It's been two years since Ominis graduated Hogwarts. Two years of returning to his family and being subjected to their whims once more. Though changed by his friendship to Sebastian and Damien during his school days, he has been hardened by the treatment of his brother and father.
His family has arranged a marriage for him to a woman named Ariadne, but no woman chosen by his family could be anything good for him. He doesn't trust her, and if he can get away with interacting with her as little as possible he'll be happy.
Ariadne is the youngest daughter of a pure blood family, raised to be an obedient and demure wife of a wealthy man. Her marriage gave her family a healthy dowry, and so she was cast to the viper den of the Gaunt family. She knew the reputation of the Gaunts, crazed and violent men that obsessed over dark magic and blood quantum.
Yet Ominis seems oddly... different. He doesn't seem at all like the rest of the Gaunts.
Maybe this marriage won't be the nightmare she thought it would be.
