it has been six months since the marriage law was first announced, yet only two weeks since the first matches were sent out. emotions are running wild at the prospect of having to marry and procreate with a complete stranger, some people entirely here for it and others opposing it with their very being. the reporters aren’t the only ones that are polling the population and with hushed whispers surrounding a group that threatens to upset the balance, it can’t help but pose the question: will you lie down and take the life that the ministry wants you to have or will you rise up and stand for what you believe in?
this is an optional task, but if you choose to do so, it should be posted no later than friday, november 10th by 11:59pm est. be sure to tag it as mhqtask001. below the cut, you can find additional information & please like this post once you have read it.
choosing to do this task & how you may respond may influence you / your character’s involvement in a future plot drop.
for this task, you should write a self-para or drabble about your character’s response to the marriage law, whether you choose to reflect on when they first found out about the law, the time between the announcement and matches being made, or after they have found out who they’re meant to be matched with is entirely up to you, or feel free to include a combination of any of them.
while you’re writing, we ask that you touch on at least one, if not more, of the following questions:
are they for or against the law?
what kind of response did they have when the marriage law was made public?
how did they feel about being forced to marry a specific blood status? if pureblood, how do they feel about marrying a muggleborn or halfblood? if muggleborn or halfblood, how do they feel about having to marry a pureblood?
where was their life at or going prior to the law?
what plans did they initially have for their future?
what did they do after the marriage law was announced? did they spend time abroad? seek out the minister for answers? threaten, get angry? plot to rebel?
how did your character respond to who they ended up matched with? did they know them prior to this? were they angry, upset, overjoyed?
have they met since they were matched? what was their opinion or how did they find the meeting?
would they rebel if they felt they could? or would they marry the person they were matched with because it is the right thing to do? or would they have their wand snapped before they even considered marrying someone they didn’t want to?
if you have any questions, feel free to just message the main & we’ll be happy to help.
