Hey everyone. This story was brought to you by Criminology assignment, Quidditch Training Camp, and Film Festival on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Also for Pairing the Character Competition Revived Week Three on Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges. For Criminology assignment I wrote for task number 9 which was to use the dialogue, 'Consent is sexy,'. For Quidditch Training Camp I wrote for Crunches and the task was to write an Arranged Marriage trope story. For Film Festival I wrote for the trope of arranged marriage too. For Pairing the Character Competition Revived Week Three I wrote for the pairing of Daphne/Blaise. Warning for fluff. Major Fluff. Word count without Author's Note is 348 words. I hope you all enjoyed A Good Start.
Daphne Greengrass was pleased as punch when her parents told her that they made an arranged marriage between herself and Blaise Zabini. She'd always found herself attracted to Blaise in a way. But she considered herself lucky to be his wife to be. She smiled as Blaise sat across from her, slouching in his seat.
"It's nice to see you, Blaise," her mother said as she sat down in her favorite chair by the fireplace. "Isn't there something you'd very much like ask Daphne?" She and Blaise's mother looked pointedly at him.
Blaise shuffled his feet and sat up straighter in his chair. Looking over at Daphne with a face that clearly screamed 'help me these ladies are crazy' he sighed. "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife, Daphne?"
She nodded knowing neither of them had a choice in the matter. "I'm glad you asked my consent," she smirked. "Consent is sexy after all. Didn't you know that, Blaise?" She smirked over at him seeing august looks on both mother's faces. She was always looking to get a rise out of her mother for silly reasons like what she'd just said. But she also knew she'd get a ration of stuff for it later on after the Zabini's left.
"I didn't know that," Blaise said smiling a bit at the looks on both mother's faces too. "Maybe I could learn a lot from you, Daphne."
"I'm sure I could learn a lot from you too."
"Do you want to go get ice cream at Florean Fortescue's?"
"Sure."
With that said they both left the sitting room and their mother's who still had the same looks on their face. At least this was a better start to their marriage than Daphne thought she'd originally get. She laced her finger through Blaise's as they left the Greengrass mansion. She could find herself really learning to love Blaise Zabini and hoped he could find his way to loving her too.
I hope you all enjoyed A Good Start.
