CHARACTERS: Scorpius Malfoy & Amelia Rowe
SETTING: The Silver Spoon
DATE: March 16th
SUMMARY: He hasn't met Amelia before, but it doesn't matter. He's being pressured to find a wife and her family simply insists. An arranged date; the first and probably the last. It doesn't matter because neither of them has much hope anyway.
The crazy lady must have tracked him down on purpose, pinned him down just long enough to explain why he needed to date her niece. It was like being advertised to, sold a product that was a twenty-five year old widow that he simply must buy. He agreed to the date, firstly because the girl was a Burke, which would keep his grandmother happy, and secondly because the woman was starting to explain why it didn't matter her niece was once married and therefore no longer a virgin. Apparently that diminished a woman's quality somehow. It was getting to the point where he was sorry that the poor niece had this for an aunt, though he wouldn't put it past his own aunt to do exactly the same. Or his mother. At least as a Malfoy, his social standing and enormous wealth had them chasing him, not the other way around.
So without ever having spoken to the girl he was supposed to be going on a date with, Scorpius arrived at the Silver Spoon, dressed smartly in tailored black robes and carrying the snake-headed cane he had inherited from Lucius. The hostess recognised him the moment he stepped in, immediately ushering him upstairs to his reserved table for two on the balcony while letting him know that his date hadn't arrived yet. He rested his cane against the table and looked out across the balcony.
There was a chance that he had seen the girl around before. They had both gone to Hogwarts, though being three years her junior, and in different houses according to what her aunt had told him, it was unlikely that he had ever spoken to her. He wasn't even sure if she had gone to the same social gatherings as him. The Burkes were a high-standing family, definitely worthy of the Malfoys, but their wealth was failing them, as had happened to many grand and illustrious bloodlines in the past. No wonder the girl's aunt wanted to set the two of them up. Marrying into the Malfoy family would certainly save their fortune. He sipped the water the waiter had poured for him and waited for his date's arrival.
