(Secret)

His dream of their future together is shattered when news of Walburga's impending wedding reaches him. There is nothing he can do about it. He is still underage, still in school. If he were to declare his love and ask her to run away with him, she would likely laugh in his face and tell him to grow up.

After he finishes school he marries the girl his parents have picked out for him, as is his duty as a firstborn son from a pureblood family.

Orion and Walburga keep in contact with each other throughout the years, but nothing of importance is ever said in the letters, until sometime after Orion's wedding when they discover that Sugar Quills can be used to send secret messages.

On parchment the lines dry clear. When burnt, the sugar turns brown. Holding a letter over the flame of a candle reveals the hidden messages.

In this way, they both learn that neither of them are happy in their arranged marriages.
