BLACK PREGNANT: SHOTGUN WEDDING TODAY!
Illyana Lillandra - DP London
LONDON - Narcissa Black will be marrying Lucius Malfoy at Leeds Castle outside of Maidstone, Kent this afternoon in what is sure to be a lavish and extravagant affair (see the Daily Prophet tomorrow for details!). Miss Black and Mr Malfoy announced their engagement a mere seven weeks ago, rushing preparations for their wedding at the earliest possible date, and now, according to an anonymous source involved in the reception preparations, the reasoning is finally clear: Narcissa Black is pregnant.
This shocking tidbit was revealed late yesterday afternoon during a visit to our Daily Prophet offices in which our anonymous informant additionally revealed that Miss Black is a tyrant of an employer, described as a "demanding, irrational shrew."
Evidently the in-joke amongst those preparing for the wedding was to refer to Miss Black's behaviour as 'hormone-related' but after some time their hypothetical was confirmed. One might suspect that Mr Malfoy's proposal itself was spurred by obligation. Another source close to the couple was contacted, revealing that, "It's such a scandalous affair; they were intent on keeping it quite hush hush. It's hardly the propriety and behaviour we've come to expect from wizarding royalty, certainly, and Narcissa is quite ashamed of herself for being so loose, thoughtless and fool-hardy."
Miss Black was unavailable for comment through her personal assistant and publicist, Veronica Smethley, whose only words for the press were, "Surely there must be something more worthwhile to print in the newspaper than an attempt to destroy a woman's wedding day and discredit her reputation with hype."
