Summary: Wedding planning under stress
Status: inComplete
Yesterday, Cho had cried herself out in her mother's arms. Ziyi Chang had done her best to console her only child but nothing could truly soften the double blow of an unwanted marriage and the knowledge that the patriarch of the family had already made the decision that any children that came from the union would not be acknowledged by the House of Chang. The coolly rational part of her mind knew that Kwai Chang could do nothing else without conceding his authority to the Dark Lord, but the rest of her railed against that one last blow to her heart.
It hadn't helped to suddenly realize what she should have known all along - that in Chinese eyes she was already married to Marcus and had been from the moment he'd taken her into his household. She'd been thinking about everything but that so hard that she had allowed herself to push it utterly from her mind.
But that didn't make her any less determined to accomplish her two-fold mission this day - to have the ceremony that she and Marcus had agreed upon and to gather as much information as possible for the Order. Drawing a deep breath, she gathered her skirts close, held tightly onto her portfolio, and stepped into the Floo. "Malfoy Manor," she said clearly.
