Matches We'd Like to See In 1888!
What's in a happy marriage? Mutual attraction? Harmonious personalities? Financial gain for both man and wife? Most sensible individuals would argue that it's a mixture of all three factors rather than single, which makes it all the more amazing that countless individuals are able to settle into their happy matches for life every year! Today, we at Witch Weekly will be trying our hand at the good, old-fashioned game of matchmaking!

Roman Crouch and Tatiana Lestrange
With both hailing from respectable, pure-blooded families comparable in terms of political views, it's likely that Mr. Crouch and Miss Lestrange could find common ground on something! Both were orphaned (for all intents and purposes) before they reached their prime, and both have a particular pesky relative that have caused them troubles! It's rumored that conflict between Mr. Crouch and his younger brother, Reuben Crouch, played a massive part in his failed ministerial bid, while it's obvious Miss Lestrange only managed to maintain respectable status following her father's destructive rampage due to her family's massive influence both on the social scene and in politics!

Reuben Crouch and Bella Scrimgeour
Mirroring the above entry, Mr. Crouch and Miss Scrimgeour could definitely find common ground on something — both are known embarrassments to their family! We may not even need to suggest this match for it to become a reality; the duo were spotted drunk together at the Celtic Fair. Both were Gryffindors during their time at Hogwarts, and both defied their family expectations: Miss Scrimgeour by taking a job at St. Mungo's, and Mr. Crouch by being incapable of finding a respectable job! While the match may not be completely ideal in the eyes of their families (imagine the children born from that union), it's probably the best either can get with their reputations!

Ari Fisk and Gemma Simpson
Sometimes, similar personalities are what make a match; other times, though, they make break them! Miss Simpson is best known for her free spirit (and often her clumsiness if one is to remember the Coming Out Ball in 1886!), and Mr. Fisk is known for rather, well, the opposite! Perhaps he would be the perfect type of gentleman to bring stability into his life, and she a bit of liveliness! We're confident that the duo would have the perfect medium to meet — Miss Simpson attended school with Mr. Fisk's sister, Miss Zelda Fisk!

Balthazar Urquart and Una Walsh
While seeming like an unlikely match at first, the pairing quickly begins to make sense when unraveling their backgrounds! Miss Topaz Urquart, the daughter of Mr. Urquart (who quite obviously ruined his career!) suffers from lycanthropy, and Miss Walsh has a background in both magizoology and healing! Perhaps she could be the one to discover a curse for both his lonely heart and his daughter's "issue".

Wishful Thinking Matches
These matches may not really be in the best interest of the individuals or their families, but they'd sure be entertaining to watch and ponder on from afar!

Richard Gladstone and Nathalie Jennings
Marrying your superior is likely not the best solution to your marriage woes, but we can still dream! After suffering a mournful ending to a courtship an and embarrassing end to an engagement, who better than the kind and humble Mr. Gladstone to soothe a poor woman's heart? If only she came from wealth she might have a chance, but there's not telling whether Mr. Gladstone, an heir in his own right, would take issue with that!

Barnabas Skeeter and Maeve Connolly
An awful match through and through, but would definitely make for interesting coverage! Imagine: the harrowing love story between the accused misogynist and the female auror!

Miss Tatiana Lestrange — daughter of a murderer, not that most are inclined to remember that.

Mr. Roman Crouch — a charming politician with a troublesome brother that clouds his glory!

Miss Nathalie Jennings — a woman whose romantic endeavors have never brought her a happy ending!

Mr. Richard Gladstone — wealthy bachelor, and the remedy to a broken heart?
