BLACK DAUGHTER TO MARRY MALFOY HEIR
Illyana Lillandra - DP London
LONDON - Two of the most prestigious of the old families are engaged to be wed. Narcissa Isobel Black and Lucius Abraxas Maximus Malfoy have recently announced their engagement.
Though a wedding date has not yet been set, the happy young couple have promised society won't have long to wait for their joyful union. The long awaited marriage of longtime darling couple Black and Malfoy is the talk of the town at moment, though Druella Black, the mother of the bride, could not be reached for comment. Black herself, however, a positive and ever-present force in society, was happy to offer her own input.
"It has always been our intention to wed, but with our world moving towards a time of peace and safety under the wonderful guidance of both Minister Lestrange as well as my future husband, the Undersecretary to the Minister, we thought that there was no time better than now for such a celebration," Black said enthusiastically. "We are both strongly committed to the Minister's plans and believe that things are truly getting better. Now is the time to marry and start a family. We are truly happy."
Though she did admit that they would be marrying sooner rather than later, she wished to assure the public that she would not let her own happiness blind her from social obligations. The annual High Tea fundraiser in July for the Society for the Protection and Preservation of the Statute of Secrecy (SPPSS) would not be be delayed, as the wedding would take place before that.
"As a woman of such status as myself, I feel I would be remiss in my duties as a proactive member of society if I delayed such an integral fundraiser," Black continued. "Our Ministry does such a wonderful job protecting our world from discovery, but it is an expensive task. Those funds assist in some very important upkeep, such as providing salaries for the witches and wizards necessary to test and renew the deterrant hexes surrounding some of our culture's most important and historical sites."
The ernest expression faded from her face, however, as Black couldn't help but add, "Of course, I'm selfishly more excited for my wedding. It will be a beautiful affair."
Black assured the Daily Prophet that very select press would be allowed at the event, so keep reading us for all your exclusive inside information on what is sure to be the wedding of the year.
