When her parents told her that she was in an arranged marriage,Blaze was furious inside-but on the outside she barely reacted, she only nodded in acknowledgement. The Slytherin expected to be betrothed, it was a pureblood custom and practically tradition. Her sister was already out of Hogwarts, married and expecting her second child. Violet was the perfect child and Blaze was expected to follow in her sisters footsteps. The thing was, she didn't want to get married, to be tied down, but she didn't have another chance.
Today was the day she would formally meet her future husband and her mother spent the whole day to ensure Blaze looked as beautiful as she could,not missing a second of reminding her of all the things she was to do and what she was forbidden too. Her dark brown hair was falling down in soft curls and the dress she wore was handmade by a famous wizarding designer,only the best for a daughter of the Drake lineage. To finish it up she wore the emerald necklace she got for her Seventeenth birthday last week and put on dark red lipstick. Her sister told her how this day was going to go, she would have this evening with her future husband, they would go for dinner in an expensive restaurant and get to know each other while their parents finished up the betrothal contract.
Preparations took four hours and a few minutes after Blaze was done, already exhausted mentally by her mother's doings, the familiar Apparation noise was heard. Blaze recognised her future husband and cursed inwardly at him not being one of her Slytherin housemates as she hoped. It was Stiles Stilinski, he was in her year at Hogwarts and after school was done this year he was going to be her husband, how... great. She examined him with a blank expression, but she forced a smile on her lips as she noticed her mother coming into the room as she began to talk in a polite voice, not meaning one word she said. "We're happy to welcome you into our home."
