Summary
“To encourage inter-house camaraderie,” Dumbledore said, “we have instituted a Pen-Pal Partnership program. This enchanted matchmaking system will pair you with another student close to you in age, chosen by the magic itself as someone you are most compatible with. Friendship-wise, of course.”
“Of course,” Sirius snorted, nudging Marlene who wore an expression of utter horror.
The Gryffindor table erupted with chatter. Across the hall, at the Slytherin table, Dorcas Meadowes was distinctly less amused.
“This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen,” she said under her breath.
OR
Arriving at their sixth year of Hogwarts, by an awful twist of fate (and because Dumbledore got bored over the break), a pen pal system has been implemented at Hogwarts. Dorcas Meadowes and Marlene Mckinnon, who have been embroiled in the most burning of hatred for each other since they were third years, have now strangely become fascinated with the mysterious person at the other end of their letters. <3

Summary
Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes had always had strong feelings towards one another. But for a long time, that feeling was a deep-rooted distain. Dorcas thought Marlene was obnoxious, arrogant, and self-centred. Marlene thought Dorcas was too quick to judge, stuck up, and as snobby as the rest of the Slytherins. The flawed aspects of one another’s characters had never surprised either of them. But what did surprise them, was realising that there was a great deal more to the both of them that neither had realised.
This is a canon compliant, incredibly slow burn, rivals to lovers fic, that covers from the start of Hogwarts to 1981. Prepare for ANGST!
Disclaimer... I do NOT support JK Rowling and the ways she's using her platform to spread hate about the Trans community.

They were meant to hate each other, it's just how it works. The two houses have been rivals since the beginning of Hogwarts history so why should Marlene and Dorcas be any different?

Summary
“So—what are you suggesting? Friends?” She says the word like it tastes bitter, and it does.
Dorcas’ hand tightens on hers. “A truce. We work together to keep our houses from each other’s throats for as long as it takes to finish the season.”
“And you think that could actually work?”
“We’ll make it work.” Dorcas leans closer, until she’s all Marlene can see. “I want the chance to beat you.”
—
Or, Marlene grows into who she is meant to be, which comes with a side of being disastrously attracted to her Quidditch rival, Dorcas Meadowes. But when the conflict between their houses spirals out of control, they're forced to work together, or else risk being kicked off their teams. What could go wrong?
