Darryl Worthington was sitting in the living room of the Zabini home, in a black suit. Ready for his marriage to his fiancée, Andrea. Next to him was his soon-to-be stepson Blaise. Blaise wore a black suit as well, and looked more miserable than he ever had in his 11 years of living.
The living room of the Zabini house looked different than ever. There were about a hundred wooden-backed chairs, and at the end of the living room there was an altar. As people arrived, they were all excited. Except for Blaise.
Two of Blaise's cousins were standing by him; their names were David and Trevor.
David spoke first, "Blaise, you should be happy! Your mom is getting married to a rich guy meaning you're gonna be spoiled."
Blaise rolled his eyes, "Big flipping deal."
Trevor looked at David, and then David spoke again, "Why don't you just go back to Hogwarts?" Both his cousins went to Beauxbatons.
"Because I can't."
"Sure you can, just walk out and go."
"And prepare myself for the worst summer of my life?"
"Um…" David thought, and then spoke up again, "Or you can stay here and act happy when really you are mad."
"I'll do that. Minus the acting."
"Wait… So you're happy about the marriage?"
"No David. I can't act happy. I'm gonna stay pissed off."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
A short, bald man stood at the altar in the living room, "Ahem! If everyone could find a seat…"
Everyone rushed to find a seat. Darryl brought Blaise up front; he was one of the people who got to stand up front with the groom.
Most of the people at the altar were happy and excited for both Darryl and Andrea. But not Blaise. The misery on his face showed how he was truly feeling.
Then if officially began, Andrea walked up to the front of the room, and the short, bald guy began to talk. He said a bunch of stuff, which Blaise didn't really recognize. Until the last line, "I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Blaise walked off, going up to his room where he saw his cousin and his girlfriend (his cousin's girlfriend) making out on his bed, "Out." He said, holding the door open for them. Once they left Blaise slammed the door shut and sat on his bed. 'It's…. official.' He thought to himself. 'Wait a minute..' He walked out of his room and walked down to his father's study, which would be turned into Darryl's study within the week. Blaise walked over to a bookshelf that had a sign that said "Zabini Records". Blaise grabbed one of the books that read "The Manor" and flipped though it. He must've found what he was looking for, because a huge grin appeared on his face.
Darryl came up the stairs, poking his head in every room. "Blaise?"
Blaise stayed silent, putting the book away and walking out of the study, and into his own room. Right in front of Darryl, he was waiting for things to quiet down a little before he made his announcement.
When he reentered his room he saw a black raven with a letter on it's ankle, "It better be from Draco."
Blaise opened the letter and read it,
'Blaise,
How's it going? The wedding as doomful as we thought it would be? Well, things at Hogwarts are pretty horrid. Nott keeps bugging me about your mom. And before you kill me and say I was 'playing along with it' I'll have you know that I hexed him in certain areas that are going to make him back off for quite some time. But that's another story all it's own. And did you have a conversation with Scarface that I wasn't there for? Just wondering because he's been acting different, like when I call him Scarface he's like, 'Oh that's original. At least other people try something new.' And well… that's a whole different story. I better stop writing this now, for Easter Homework needs to get done.
Your Friend,
Draco'
Blaise smirked as he left the letter on his bed. As soon as he heard Darryl walk back downstairs, he followed. He stood at the end of the hallway and cleared his throat, "I have an announcement to make."
Everyone looked over at Blaise.
((A/N: What is Blaise's announcement? Read Chapter 12 to find out)
((A/N: Yeah, this chapter is short… But that's alright.))
