it’s not like you wanted any of this— well, that’s what you convinced yourself. your father was so caught up in the idea of you getting married, every time he could it would always be, “any boy caught your eye” or, “how about him?” it got tiring, yes. but what you didn’t expect was him to choose someone for you without asking first.

blaise, you never really paid attention to him at school or in any class. it’s not like you had any reason to, he always stuck around draco and the others. that group was always a pain to be around. of course you knew who he was though, he was the type of person you’d automatically know if his name was brought up.

but now here you were, the news finally dropped on you like a random bomb going through your head. your dad had brought you down into the living room where blaise and his mom were sitting. it was a surprise nonetheless for blaise to randomly be in your house and business with his mom. but it all made sense whenever—

“miss zabini and i have decided it to be a good idea for the two of you to marry.”
