*3rd Person POV*
“You can’t be serious, Father!” Arabella said, looking at her Father with wide eyes.
“I know you don’t want this, but for the good of this family.” Her Father said with a sigh.
“But why?” She cried out. Her Father sighed once again and shook his head.
“Darling, we must regain the status this family once had and we can’t risk you choosing a partner that is less than perfect.” He said and she groaned.
“Yes I know Father, but I thought this wouldn’t happen until after I graduated, not now!” She said, frantically. Her Father looked at her with apologetic eyes, while her Mother stayed behind him, rolling her eyes at her daughter’s dramatic behavior.
“Can’t we just wait till after I finish with school?” She begged. She hardly ever asked anything of her parents, but this was something she desperately didn’t want to happen, at least not right now. For Salazar’s sake she’s only a child! She still had two years of Hogwarts left! Her Father shook his head and her shoulders slumped.
“The only reason it’s this soon is because the Potter family wish for their son to be married as soon as possible.” He answered.
“I’m sorry, Potter? I’m being married off to James Potter?” She asked in disbelief.
“Yes!” Her Mother snapped at her.
“Is there something wrong with that?” She added with a glare.
“Yes! He’s a bloody Gryffindor! How could you two possibly be alright with me marrying a Gryffindor?” Arabella practically shouted.
“Watch your tone, first off. Second, the Potter boy is just what we need for the public eye to trust our family again.” Her Father said and she sighed.
“Why do I have to pay for the mistakes the two of you made?” She asked.
“Mistake? Mistake! The only mistake here is you! The Dark L-”
“That’s enough!” Conrad shouted, cutting his wife, Starla off.
“We agreed that following He Who Must Not Be Named was a mistake! It put our daughter at risk and we would not continue following down that dark path!” He said and she glared at him.
“Get out, we’ll finish this conversation without you.” He ordered and his wife gladly left the room.
“Bella, I know you don’t wish to marry this boy and you are correct, you are paying for our mistakes, but it’s for the good of this family.” He said. Arabella was silent for a moment before she looked up at her Father with a sigh.
“Does he know he’s marrying me?” She asked.
“If he doesn’t, he will soon. Why?” He asked.
“He’s not exactly a fan of Slytherins. There is no possible way he’ll agree to this.” She said. She conveniently left out the part where he was head over heels in love with Lily Evans.
“I don’t believe he’ll have a choice in the matter.” Her Father said.
“I doubt his parents would force him to do something he didn’t want.” She said
“They are, they believe he’s choosing someone that is… unacceptable for their son.” He said.
“You mean Lily, the Muggle-born Gryffindor he’s absolutely in love with.” She said, causing her Father to sigh.
“Yes, they don’t want him with her because…”
“Because she’s not a Pure-blood.” Arabella finished her Father’s thought.
“Yes, you’re more acceptable for them.” He said and she sighed.
“Right…” She said, rolling her eyes.
“Arabella.” Conrad said, wishing to gain his daughter’s attention. She looked up at him and he gave her a small smile.
“This is much sooner than either of us wanted, but I believe it’s the best option. The Potter boy may hate all Slytherins, but from what I’ve heard, he’s never been rude or mocked you. This is better than I could wish for you, considering all this You Know Who business. I will not call off this betrothal, but I want you to be happy. Preferably with your future husband, James Potter.” He said and she nodded, understanding her Father’s wishes.
“Are you telling me that I may not have to marry him?” She asked, slight hope in her voice.
“I’m saying that we need an heir.” He said and she smiled. She hugged her Father tightly and he hugged her back with a large smile.
“Thank you, Daddy!” She said. He kissed her head as they pulled apart.
“Like I said, I just want you to be happy.” He said.
*Three Months Later*
Arabella had returned to school and was told by her Father to seek out James Potter. Luckily for her, he was alone in his compartment. He looked up at her with wide eyes and a nervous smile as she took a seat.
“I’m sure your parents informed you of our situation.” She said and he nodded.
“And I’m sure, much like me you weren’t happy.” She continued and he once again nodded with a sigh.
“Well, I’d like to make you a deal, Potter.” She said, peeking the boy’s interest.
“What sort of deal?” He asked, warily.
“I don’t want to marry you and you don’t want to marry me… So, you will get me pregnant so my family has an heir and then you’re free to be with that Evans girl you’re so fond of.” She said and his eyes widened.
“But what about our parents?” He asked.
“My Father is actually the one who gave me the idea, he wants to see me happy and no offense, but marrying you will not make me happy.” She said and James chuckled.
“None taken… wait, so you’ll just let me be with Lily as long as you have a child?” He asked and she nodded.
“My Father wants an heir that will change our reputation, having your name will do that.” She said and he thought for a moment.
“We’d still have to get married.” The boy pointed out and she sighed.
“Just until we have a child then you can be with Lily for the rest of your life. Though, I can’t promise that some people won’t find out you left me and I can’t ruin my family reputation anymore by saying I let you.” She said and he nodded, thinking of the pros and cons of her offer.
“You have yourself a deal, Arabella.” He said, holding his hand out with a smile. She returned the smile and gladly shook his hand.
“Then once we’re married we’ll start trying for a child. I must be sure I’m pregnant before you go off with Evans.” She said and he nodded.
“I understand, you’ll get your heir.” He said and she smiled.
“Never thought I’d be happy about having a child this young.” She laughed.
“Yeah, me either.” James joined in.
The two vastly different children may not be friends, but they each understood each other, given the situation they were forced into. Arabella was just lucky her Father was kind to her and that he wouldn’t be angry as long as she got the heir and Potter name she needed. She was sure her Mother would be furious that the Potter boy had left her, but she honestly didn’t care. Her Mother had changed during her time with the Dark Lord and they were lucky enough to escape with their lives. Arabella was a bit skeptical of the fact that the Dark Lord would just let them go, but she was honestly too scared to question it at all. She just wanted her family to be safe and normal again, but that was probably a bit much to ask for.
As soon as the last year of Hogwarts ended Arabella and James Potter were married. James Potter had convinced his parents to wait until after school to marry the two and given that the boy had suddenly become very complacent with his parents wishes, they complied. Before the ink could even dry on their marriage certificate, Arabella and James were trying for a baby. It took them a bit longer than either of them had liked to conceive, but it untimely happened after a year. The two were relieved when they got the news, they honestly couldn’t stand being together anymore. They weren’t fighting or angry with each other, but James was upset that he wasn’t able to be with his true love and Arabella was upset she couldn’t even look for hers. They waited a bit after Arabella had confirmed the pregnancy before they quietly got a divorce. James had quickly packed all his things and said goodbye to his now ex-wife. He hugged her tightly and even gave her a kiss on her forehead, surprising the girl.
“Thank you, Arabella.” He whispered before he pulled away.
“I believe I should be thanking you.” She said as she placed a hand gently on her small bump. James chuckled and placed his hand over hers.
“I hate to leave you alone with a child, but-”
“Don’t.” She cut him off.
“This is what we agreed on. I’ll be fine on my own with our child, just go be with Evans.” She said and he smiled a bit more at the mention of Lily’s name.
“Will you have the baby keep my name?” He asked and she thought for a moment.
“I believe I have to, that way my family name won’t be left in the mud.” She said and he sighed.
“Right, well at least tell her about me?” He asked and she sighed, shaking her head.
“I don’t want to get her hopes up on meeting you, James. Our story is that you left me for Evans.” She said and James frowned.
“You’re telling me that I won’t ever see my child?” He asked, shocked.
“How did you think this was going to go? That I would just bring our child over whenever you wanted? Or that you would come back here to see him or her?” She asked and James shrugged.
“I-I don’t know, but I didn’t think I’d never be able to see them! I mean, it is my child.” He said and she sighed.
“James, our story won’t be believable if you see them. They’ll know you exist, obviously, but-”
“Tell them about our deal, that way they won’t hate me.” He begged. She gave him a small smile and nodded.
“Fine, but you still won’t be able to see them.” She said and he nodded, sadly.
“Then, this is goodbye, Arabella.” He said and she smiled.
“Goodbye, James. Have a good life with Lily.” She said and hugged him one last time. James took a deep breath and left behind the woman he came to love, not in a romantic sense, but still loved, and his unborn child…
*March 23rd, 1980*
Arabella heard the cries of her newly born baby as she panted in the hospital bed. She was tired from pushing the small child out of her and the potions the doctors had given her were making her even more so.
“Miss Potter, it’s a girl.” The doctor said as he handed her baby to her. The woman smiled down at her new bundle of joy and bit her lip. She had James’ eyes and nose… It hurt her heart knowing that this baby would never know her Father, but she was determined to give this girl an amazing life.
“What would you like to name her?” A nurse asked, holding the birth certificate.
“Y/N. Y/N Potter.” Arabella answered with a smile. The name fit the girl perfectly. Y/N, after her Grandmother. Arabella kissed the small girl’s head and held her close. Y/N Potter was now her reason to live. Y/N Potter was the reason Arabella’s younger brother could freely marry whoever he chose. Y/N Potter was the savior of the Renaud family.

Look at me, piecing together some very basic background for storytelling purposes! This wasn’t originally meant to be Christmas themed but time happened and Red (TV) happened and here we are. And because I think I haven’t meantioned in a while, Evžen and Actaeon are characters from @rennakins’ and my story Imperishable!*
Can we take a second to appreciate “New York” by Snow Patrol?!
I’ve drawn quite a few portraits of Aná but somehow I never really liked one of them, which is very unfortunate. This one I still like, and I hope I will tomorrow and next week, but we’ll see.
Aná looked at Miri like that and Miri immediately forgot she liked Evžen and that Aná had killed him and decided to follow Aná until the end of the world.. and that is what love means
Taking a break from writing abt them to draw them lmao
(Devendra & Kellen, He/Him for both)
