As The Night Sky
J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter! I only own Carina! Takes place in Half-Blood Prince. Debated putting this up but my friends told me to so yeah.
Fifteen Years Ago
Carina Antoinette Black came into the world on a brisk December morning. Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy, her older sisters, looked at the tiny baby. She looked equally like Bellatrix and Narcissa. Druella Black held her youngest close. Narcissa also had a baby in her arms. His name, Draco. He was only a couple months older than his aunt. "My eldest daughters, as I am dying you shall be left to take care of Carina." Druella sighed. "Yes, Mummy, we promise." Bella replied. Druella handed the baby to her oldest daughter. The two sisters carried the children away. Carina would not see her mother again.
Present
I sat with my sisters for tea. We all looked very elegant. "That Astoria Greengrass girl would be a good match for Draco. Don't you agree?" Narcissa questioned. "Arranged marriages are so old-fashioned, Cissy." I scoffed. Bellatrix and Narcissa exchanged a worried glance. "What?" I asked. "Well, Carrie dear, you are having an arrange marriage." Bellatrix replied, covering my hand with her own. "What? To who?" I yelled. "Gregory Goyle. The engagement gala is tonight." Narcissa said softly. "You've got to be joking." I said, getting up and walking out of the room. As I exited I heard Cissy sigh, "That went well." "She's a Black, she'll accept it soon enough." Bella replied. I slammed the door.
"Draco, I swear your mother and your aunt are going to kill me." I huffed, looking at my nephew. "What have they done this time?" He asked. "I'm having an arrange marriage!" I screamed. "That's not so bad." Draco said. "To your friend Gregory Goyle." I said crossing my arms over my chest. "What?" Draco shouted in shock. "I know right?" I flopped down on the couch. Draco looked like he just realized something. "So that's why everyone's coming here tonight." He said. I glared at him. "Sorry Aunt Carina." Draco muttered. The Lucius entered the room. "Hmm, Carina sitting on the couch with her arms crossed and a fixed stare. What's wrong this time?" He pondered. "Mum and Aunt Bellatrix just told her she's having an arrange marriage to Goyle." Draco replied. "Well the Goyle boy isn't so bad. Maybe a little rough around the edges." Lucius stated. "A knife is a little rough around the edges, Lucius, Goyle is hardcore." Okay, maybe I over exaggerated. "Carina don't be so dramatic." Lucius advised. "Lucius, don't be so annoying." I said in a mockingly sweet voice. He walked out. "Whatever, I am so writing Pansy about this." I shook my head and went up to my room. I began my letter.
Dear Pansy,
Like seriously I think my sisters are sacrificing me. I am going to marry Gregory Goyle. Yes, me. I can't even believe it! Lucius agrees with them too! And I'm starting think that Draco is a believer of the whole thing. I just can't wait to get back to Hogwarts. At least some sane people are there. Like you. And hopefully Draco will come to be on my side. I am his aunt after all.
Love ya,
Carina Antoinette Black
I summoned my owl, Flitter, and gave her the letter to Pansy. I breathed deeply Carina Goyle. Interesting…
