you've mentioned Marcus/Adrian in passing before do you have any thoughts on how they would be together?
I don't have a lot of thoughts about these two, but I've always liked Adrian, because he's one of the only people on the Slytherin Quidditch Team that never cheated.
There's not much about him in canon though, so all of these are just random headcanons that I have, which are based on nothing. 🤣
I always used to headcanon that Adrian was in the same year as Marcus, but now I realize that he was more likely in the same year as Fred & George, so boo. 🙁 *ignores that because I can*
I think Adrian & Marcus are a friends-to-lovers ship. Adrian had feelings for Marcus first, and it took Marcus a while to return those feelings (either because he was oblivious or interested in someone else), but once Marcus fell for Adrian, he loved him just as deeply.
I think Adrian was a prefect at Hogwarts, and he took the position rather seriously. The only person he ever broke the rules for was Marcus (though Marcus never asked him to break any major rules because he respected him too much for that).
I always picture Adrian as a Healer or Mediwizard after Hogwarts & Marcus as a professional Quidditch player (on the Ballycastle Bats). So Adrian is constantly healing Marcus' Quidditch injuries after every practice and game, because Marcus is too stubborn to let the team's Mediwizard help him.
I imagine them as being quite happy in a poly relationship, because neither of them are insecure. They know that they love each other, and they also know that they are capable of loving other people too, and that doesn't diminish their relationship together at all.
Thanks for the ask! 😊
