[Close friends and family]

My father has just informed me that I am to be married.

A wedding has been arranged, but the date of the event is something I still don't know.

My groom to be is Augustus Borgin.

That's all I've been told...

I hate my father.


I hate him...

[Evan]

You were right. He let me down.

Are you happy now?

[/Evan]





[Augustus]

You knew...didn't you?

[/Augustus]

Well! Your father wouldn't allow you to get married to someone absolutely terrible right? I'm sure he has very good qualities!

I don't give a bloody fuck about his good qualities!


I don't love him...


How am I supposed to marry someone I don't love?

As much as I hate to say this, but...isn't that what we're supposed to do? My parents are going to HATE Euan, even though he's smart and---he's not very sweet but--- Maybe you'll grow to like him! I'm only trying to think positively.

What can you do? Do you want to get disowned?

I...I don't know...


I want to run away...I want to run away from all of this, but I know I can't. I just-...

I want Antonin.


I don't want this.

Yes, as I am head of my family your father's negotiations were directly with me.

Why didn't you say anything? How long have you known?

Not very long, a week perhaps. And I didn't say anything because it was not my business to interrupt your father.

How did it happen? When you spoke with my father, what did he say?

With Octavia's match it was time of me, as head of the family, to find one of my own. As your father and brother have a common association with me, he knew of my situation and discussions were started. I believe our conversation was of the normal sort for this kind of thing. Why?

This kind of thing?!

Why? Why?

Because seeing how I had no bloody choice about who I'm going to be with for the rest of my bloody life, I wanted to know how all of this was arranged!

Arranged marriages are not uncommon, Miss. I was approached by your father who knew I was seeking a bride. From there the negotiations were simple, based on dowry and I believe I had to meet your father's standards for worthiness. There were no undue dealings.

I just find it odd that some men tend to pick their wives based on breed, much like cattle.

I'm sure all of the arrangements were completely standard.

I believe Amycus Carrow was next on your father's list, so if you wish to be matched with that sort, be my guest. Or even, shame your family by taking your chances on a love match. Look to your peers and see how many of them are married or already matched up. There are really two or three potential matches and I assure you, I am far superior to some adolescent. I have my own business attached to my long standing family business. I am head of my family and I am not completely ignorant to the ways and emotions of women though Octavia will eat you alive and you would be well suited for me.

I am not in need of a slave, I wish for a wife who knows her place in society and can help further our status, or at the very least, do no damage to it. I wish for a wife that will bear my sons and do her duty to society by raising them in a proper manner.

It was not my intention to make you a November bride, we certainly have time for a courtship and for you to plan the wedding.

What! That's absolutely dreadful, Kali! Maybe you can find a way to squirm out of it, though---plenty of girls have managed to do it before!

Why would my father agree to this? I thought he cared...I guess he only cares about himself.


Maybe Evan was right... All this time, maybe he was right about the type of person our father really is.
