Pollux was betrothed from birth, something he knew not to rebel against because that was what was usually practiced for heirs. Some Pure-bloods were lucky enough to be allowed to marry for love, but they were usually sons that weren't the oldest. Other Pure-blood sons that were allowed to marry for love were lesser known families, not a prominent family like the Blacks.
Pollux meant his future bride, Irma Crabbe, when they were five. His family believed he wouldn't mind the marriage as much if he was at least friends with Irma. They didn't count on the fact that there was no quality in Irma that Pollux found redeemable Even at the young age of five, Pollux knew Irma was a pushy, bitter girl with a cackling laugh that pierced his ears, and she would grow into being a pushy, bitter woman with a cackling laugh that made him wish he was deaf.
But, he'd follow through on his duty as a good heir should.
