After the end of the Second War, life was slowly returning to normal. Most of those who'd missed a year of schooling because they were in hiding, or for other reasons, have returned to finish out their education. It finally seemed Hogwarts would have a normal year. At least, as normal as it can get.
Until the Ministry announced a new program. After the amount of deaths, population became an issue. So, each 6th and 7th year wizard is to try on a hat. This hat is much like the Sorting Hat in the fact its able to see the person's mind. But it doesn't sort you into a house - it shouts the name of the girl each of these unfortunate males would be best with. It creates a binding magical contract that can only be broken by going through a long, tedious process with the Ministry. This can take up to 2 or 3 years. Within a year, the pairs must marry. Along with this, the hat has its own special magic it casts on each of these people. It starts feelings for the other person stronger than just a friendship. Overtime, it unnoticebly fades, making any feelings for the other person real. Though no one is aware of this magic at all.
Consequences for not following the Marriage Law are quite severe. They include loss of your wand and a life sentence in Azkaban. So, who will try and make these odd pairings work? And who will downright refuse?
RULES
[ x ] Feel free to double up on characters, but I'm making a limit of two. This is simply so more people will have the chance to join. And if you do double up, I ask that please one character be male and the other female.
[ x ] Follow all SS rules. You should know these. If not, then please kindly leave this thread. I do not want to get in trouble for someone not following the rules.
[ x ] If all the OC's (original characters) in the pairings below end up taken, and you must have an OC, I will allow more to be made. Simply put in your bio whether your character was one of the lucky ones that didn't get paired with someone, for whatever reason.
[ x ] When making an OC, be sure to note in the bio who your character is paired to. When grabbing a cannon character, simple posting that you'd like that character will suffice. Maybe a picture as well, if you desire, though most cannon's will have an actor counterpart from the movies.
[ x ] I expect at least one good paragraph per post MINIMUM. This is the Advanced section, so please no one-liners.
[ x ] If there's a cannon character you'd like to play, simply post and ask about it. I swear, I don't bite ^^
[ x ] The backstory pretty much follows the books, though of course its altered here and there to fit the different pasts of any OCs.
PAIRINGS * Some pairings are a bit odd, some are expected. Feel free to create your OC however you like, whether you want it to get along with his/her partner or not.

SPOILER!!: Adriane
Name: Adriane Malfoy Age: 16 // 6th Year Gender: Female Birthday: June 23rd House: Slytherin - Chaser on Quidditch Team Paired with: Harry Potter
History: Adriane Malfoy, as to be expected of a Malfoy, is spoiled rotten. She's grown up with her older brother, Draco, just as any other child in a high-class, pureblood family. She was brought up to believe she was far above anyone else and no one was worth her time. She was taught in deciet, giving her the power to wrap authority figures around her finger and thus making it to where she could simply do whatever the heck she wanted. However, she discovered her parents "dark activities" a bit sooner than her brother did, and took an unnatural liking to them. By the time she was watching her brother leave for his first year at Hogwarts, she'd already read as much as she could on Voldemort and other Dark Wizards in the past. Though it wasn't until right at the end of her fourth year did she truely act upon her fascination.
Her fourth year at Hogwarts was the year her father had been discovered and sent off to Azkaban. She hadn't known but about the entire situation, but knew enough to be convinced it was Harry Potter to get him sent off. It was then she developed a bit of a hatred for the boy, though she'd barely known him beforehand. Just beore her fifth year started, her and her brother joined the ranks of the Death Eaters. She was well aware of how shocked and fearful her mother was, and how much Draco despised it. But Adriane embraced it. During her fifth year, she had become one of Voldemort's most valuable spies within the castle. Long before the time of the Final Battle, the 15 year old had wormed her way up to the point she was equal in rank - if not higher - than Bellatrix Lestrange herself. After the battle, less faithful followers Mark's had faded...yet Adriane still wears hers and isn't afraid to remind others.
Personality: Just as she was raised, Adriane acts like most other high-class purebloods. She believes she's far above anyone else, and will not hesitate to put others in their place. Though her sarcastic, snide comments are not only saved for the Mudbloods and blood traitors. They will even sometimes extend further, to pureblood Slytherins like herself. Even those with good names, she believes, are lower than the Malfoys. Unlike her brother, she will not stand to be around any "bumbling idiots", as she'd always dubbed Draco's two cronies. She also has a great sense of family pride. She is highly aware that all the money and power she has comes from her family name, and does nothing if there is the slightest possibility it will bring down her family's standing even a little. She knows some of her classmates are aware of the Mark she keeps hidden underneath her sleeves, and will readily use it as a threat if the situation calls for it.
Around authority figures, this changes. She is able to make herself into a kind, sweet person. Teachers in the school think they are aware of some of what goes on when Adriane is talking to other students, though they don't really have any clue to the extent it goes to. Anyone at all, she is practised enough to decieve them and bend them to her will, without them noticing. She's able to watch a person, and tends to note small facial changes that help clue her into what the other person is thinking. Anything discovered generally goes to decieving this person or blackmailing them for some purpose, however. Adriane is also a bit...flirtatious. Though many other girls have their skirts higher than they should be, hers tend to be just a bit shorter. She feeds off male attention, though stays classy when trying to get it. She refuses to avert to any behaviours that might mark her with any bad names other girls might think up.
SPOILER!!: Irial
Name: Irial Hayes Age: 16 // 6th Year Gender: Male Birthday: August 12th House: Ravenclaw Paired With: Ginny Weasley
Hair Color: Dark Brown Eyes: Gray Height: 6'0
History: Irial led a very priviledged life, as an only child to a quite rich family. Though with the War, he never truely picked sides. His whole family agreed some with getting rid of the Muggle borns, though never acted upon these thoughts. He was taught the same things as many purebloods are - that he was above anyone else, and anyone who is not pure of blood is to not be considered. When he started Hogwarts, he was immediately Sorted into Ravenclaw. This came as a slight shock, as the rest of the family had been in Slytherin, though it caused no uproar as it might've if he'd been sorted into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. If not Slytherin, Ravenclaw was a suitable alternative to the family. Throughout the years, Irial didn't get much involved with what was happening against Voldemort. He was one of the ones who simply ignored the situation, and didn't really give a flip what happened. Until his fifth year, when him and a certain Malfoy girl started hanging out. It was near the beginning of the year the two become a bit more than just friends. It wasn't a secret; they just didn't go out of their way to tell anyone. But his relationship with her got him involuntarily into quite a bit of it. Often he was helping her with something related to whatever Voldemort had her doing. Aside from this, he did his best to stay out of it.
Personality: Irial is a very cocky, arrogant person. He doesn't put down people he believes are below him; no, he simply ignores them. He believes they aren't worth his time, and isn't willing to put in the effort to make them either start crying or get angry. He's a bit on the silent side when in public, though isn't shy to speak at all. He has some strong opinions on things, and will debate them if someone goes against him. He believe's he's always right, and if need be will do the typical Ravenclaw thing to prove his point: pull out a book. He does take his studies very seriously, and has managed to become the top student in 6th year.
Irial happens to also be abit of a flirt. He can't help but wink at a few girls that he's usually convinced himself are in love with him. Though generally none of them are. It goes back to his arrogant side, thinking every girl is in love with him and that he's just the best looking person to walk the face of the Earth. Though he never goes further than harmless flirting with other girls.
Theodore felt Aleska cuddle in closer to him. He smiled as he heard her words. "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking" He told her. He was so comfortable with her, words couldn't even describe. He let his eyes wonder out towards the window. It was still fairly early, probably about mid day. Then he looked back to Aleska. "So what would you like to do today? That is if you want to do anything. I'm perfectly content with staying here" He said with a small laugh.
Aleksa gave a light giggle at his words. She knew it was probably almost lunch time but she didn't really care. The day was turning out to be amazing. Leksi shrugged her shoulders but didn't make any attempt to move. She was too comfortable. Just thinking about there impending marriage was making her giddy. Reluctantly though she did manage to raise up enough to look at Theo. "I guess lunch would be a good place to start."
Her smile was punctuated by a small grumble that originated from her stomach.

If this was how she wanted it then this was how he would be. Hands still shoved firmly in his pockets, as they reached the staircase he took a step toward the dungeons.
"Well, I'll bugger off then. See ya." He wanted to say so much more but didn't. She had already proved him wrong and he wasn't going to make a fool of himself twice. Without waiting for a reply he sauntered off to the Slytherin Common room to lick his wounds and try to steal his heart. This was going to be hell. Being married and stuck with someone he was starting to fall in love with, but who didn't even care for him at all.
Merlin blast that retched hat!
Agyness had made to give a small wave goodbye, but Draco had turned away too quickly. Standing solitary for a moment, she watched Draco strut away as she gazed at his quickly-moving form before he turned the corner and disappeared. "Damn you, Draco Malfoy," Agyness murmured before turning away and heading towards her haven, the library. Quite a few shelves and books had been scorched during the battle, and even her favorite table had been blasted to bits, but many repairs had been made by the staff. Or at least, the staff that had survived, unless you count Professor Binns. Thinking of the ancient professor brought a small smile to her face. Maybe reading a thick book would make her feel better.
Theo could tell that by just the lack of movement from Aleska that she didn't exactly want to move. This was just fine with him. He lived being here with her, with her in his amrs, the way that it should have been for years now. When she finally did look up he nodded his head with a soft smile. Then he heard her stomach growl and was reminded that he too was actually hungry. "That sounds good to me" He told her.
Then his mind wondered once more. How in the world was he going to get her down? He knew that it would be just as hard if not harder than getting her up. "Do you want to try to get down?" He asked her softly as he brushed through her hair with his fingers.
Aleksa gave a sigh of regret as she picked herself up. His fingers running through her hair was one of the greatest feelings in the world. It made her scalp tingle and her heart sing. They really needed to get up though. Looking at the trap door they had come up through and gave a voluntary shiver. Just the thought of getting on that latter again was making her queezy.
A thought struck her and she smiled. Standing up she pulled out her wand and pointed it at the window. With a quick flick the window opened and she looked at Theo. "I hope your summoning charm is up to snuff." She gave her wand another flourish muttering the accio spell in her head. Within a few seconds she caught sight of her beloved broom speeding towards her from across the grounds.

Agyness had spent quite a time reading through the book, but it had been a waste of time. She had ended up reading many sentences over and over, not realizing what she had been doing until she realized that she had been on the same page for five minutes. Closing the ratty old cover of the thick textbook, a 'hmph!' escaped her lips as she crossed her arms and crossed her legs. Why should this situation bug her so much? Sighing, she put the book back on the proper shelf rather hastily and left the library, a purpose in mind. She needed to talk to someone, anyone, about this predicament. It was about time that she let her guard down and had a chat with someone.
Theodore felt Aleska shiver beneath him. He knew that the last thing that she would want was to do back down that ladder. And honestly the last thing that he wanted was to have to watch in her in fear again. It had just about torn him to pieces the last time.
As she got up he let out a sigh. He really hadn't wanted to move but hey he would be spending the rest of eternity with her. They woud have time together agian. He followed her over to the window and watched as she summoned her broom. "What are you talking about. Of course my charm is in great condition" He said to her with a wink as he too summoned his broom from the common room. His marks had always been some of the best in class. That was one thing that had never changed over the years. And just has he had promised his charm was just as good as ever.

Just like she knew he would he jumped at her bait and summoned his broom as well. Aleksa couldn't help but smile. It might seem to others that she was scared to climb a latter but perfectly okay to fly out the window. Chuckling she mounted her broom and tossed her hair toward Theo.
"Try to keep up dear." She gave him a playful wink and then shot out the window.
We're Getting Married?!
