5062: Spell Bind - Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste
I’m still looking through the stories which are somehow related to Covid in some manner. Well, this is what happens when someone gets bored with their online classes. It’s hilariously bad in that fun entertaining sort of way, but also unfortunately in script format.
Title: Spellbind
Perpetrator: AuriMoon
Sue-O-Meter: Awful
Cover/Banner Art: I think it is a picture the writer’s drawn of Marinette and Adrien, with Adrien in his Cat Noir outfit.
Summary: “It's 2020 (pretend COVID doesn't exist), Marinette and Adrien are about to board the train to Hogwarts! Possibly ONE-SHOT?” Me, I don’t see why the writer is worried about COVID happening this year given the fact both series this is a crossover for don’t happen in the real world, but there’s also the question of whether COVID would be of any concern to the Wizarding World when they have to deal with things such as Dragon Pox. It’s actually something else I became worried about in regards to the story.
Full Name: Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste
Species: A magical girl character whose magical girl abilities become unimportant once she and her love interest are the only characters from their series getting to attend Hogwarts.
Hair: n/a
Eyes: n/a
Markings: n/a
Poessessions: n/a
Connection to Canon: Marinette and Adrien should actually be attending Beauxbatons, but because of their wonderful Mary Sue/Gary Stu powers they don’t have in their actual canon material they get to attend Hogwarts instead. They also get to conveniently forget about their canon friends who also become unimportant except as a plot device for Muggle summer school to try and cover the plot of the Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir series as being canon. But outside of having them sorted into their houses, it’s all about the two swooning over each other. The fact Marinette is a magical girl and Adrien the male version gets as lost as their friends.
Origin: The writer honestly doesn’t understand what an exchange program actually is. Specifically, if a student ends up attending Hogwarts all seven years they do not count as an exchange student from Beauxbatons. Then again, the writer also has Marinette and Adrien attending a Muggle school during the summer because their Muggle friends insist they do so.
Special Abilities: For some reason Marinette and Adrien are attending Hogwarts instead of Beauxbatons, buy they’re also attending Muggle school during the summer just because they can. Mind you, the writer does try giving an explanation for the whole thing, “The exchange program had started in their first year and, instead of going to Beauxbatons, Marinette had been given a chance to go to Hogwarts as a beta exchange student. They weren't many in her first year, around twenty, and she never actually realized that Adrien was an exchange student too. She had friends that were exchange students belonging to other houses, but Slytherin normally didn't mix with commoners. For that reason, she was very happy to have met Adrien during Summer. They would have never have become friends otherwise. That was the harsh truth.”
Notes: At this point, it’s just a one-shot, but I really hope it doesn’t continue if said one-shot is an example of the level of effort the writer is going to put into things.
Sample:
Adrien finally met her eyes and forgot how to breathe for just a split of a second. He could easily ignore that feeling whenever he wanted. That's what he did. That's what he'd been doing throughout the summer. Those were the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen. More real than Ladybug's, but still with a hint of magic glittering in them. He wanted to drown in her eyes. He knew that, but he'd never admit it, not even to himself. Her soft, kind eyes, begging for him to open up with her, worried for him in ways that no one else was anymore. Not even Ladybug cared for Chat the way Marinette cared for him, Adrien.
When he was eleven years old, Adrien had been beyond happy when he'd got sorted into Slytherin because he'd made his father and his mother proud! It'd been all that he'd ever wanted. He remembered that day as perfectly as if it had been yesterday… Saying his goodbyes to his parents "Be careful, baby." "Don't go and mix yourself with the wrong crowd, son" "Send us a howl the moment you arrive, alright baby?" "Make us proud, son.", hopping on the Hogwarts Express for the first time, trying out on the Sorting Hat and practically begging to be sorted into Slytherin - because he wanted to make his parents proud and that was how pure blood kids make their parents proud - and then once he was a Slytherin realising that the Sorting hat had been right and maybe he should have been cast into Hufflepuff ~ or any other House really. He never felt like he belonged. Not that Slytherin kids were as bad as everyone else paints them,... they'd always been very nice to him, but Adrien had never been able to make a real connection with anyone from his House. Especially after his mother's death. Of course that to other Houses, Slytherin students were trash - they had a bit of a reputation and some Slytherin students really tried their best to uphold it - so he'd never been able to make friends from other houses either.
Except for this Summer.
Marinette.
And that was why he'd never even let himself recognize that split of a second in which his heart skipped a beat when he crossed gazes with her, or when she touched him or…
Marinette was his only friend now. Sure he had Nino and Alya and Chloe and everyone else from summer school, but they'd be in Paris and he could not lose the only friend who was there for him. Although, maybe that was just a matter of time too. Maybe things would change at Hogwarts.
"It's nothing-" He tried to wave away her worries with a gesture of his hand, but she caught it and looked at him, very serious. Marinette never had been so… bold as to hold his hand but she didn't let go. Adrien swallowed dry, "I'm just worried whether things will change or not. You know, at Hogwarts…"
