Today was the day she would be married. She had only left Hogwarts 2 weeks ago, however her cousin bellatrix was failing at producing heirs for the lestrange line and they needed a back up plan.
Callidora black the second had plans for her life she wanted to be a mind-healer, to help others, All that was gone now as her parents handed her it to a man 10 years older than her. She would be expected to stay quite , have no opinion and grow and birth her husbands children .
That isn't what she wanted her life to be, but she wasn't Sirius black . She was a Slytherin and was too much of a coward to leave the family with him years ago. She was happy for him , glad her brother was enjoying his life with his boyfriend Remus lupin.
This was a man's world and she was a woman and she would have to live with the consequences of that for the rest of her life.
There was a knock on the door and her cousins Bellatrix and narcassisa walked in, both of her older cousins had been married off as soon as they left Hogwarts too, they were here to help her get ready.
" nervous?" Asked narcassisa, the nicer of the two " I know I was when I got married to lucius"
Callidora nodded her head slightly " I knew this was coming but I'd hoped I would have a bit more time before I got married. I've had two conversations with him and I'm expected to marry him , share a bed and have children with him?"
" yes you are . Me and cissy did it our mothers did it and their mothers before that" bellatrix stated with a bored tone
" Bella don't be mean" cissy exclaimed, smacking her sister on the shoulder" Callidora it's going to be okay. It will be strange at first even scary, but that its our role as the daughters of the house id black. Me and Bella will be here if you need to talk Now let's get you ready"
Nearly two hours later she was ready her black straight hair was curled and pulled back into a half up half down ponytail . Her makeup was natural with a red lip . The white dress that she wore made her look like a princess , plucked out of a fairy tale
"You look beautiful Calli" narcassisa said looking at her younger cousin
Callidora looked at herself in the mirror . She did look beautiful but seeing herself wearing that wedding dress was just a reminder, mocking her she will be trapped untill the day she dies.
"Thank you" she manages to breath out in reply
*************
There must have been at least 600 people at the wedding , it looked gorgeous with flowers and fairy lights it reminded her of a fairy tale. But this wasn't a story book she wouldn't get a happy ending, saved by the prince, she was getting chained to a man she barely knew.
She started walking down the isle, her brother regulus giving her away,he whispered reassuring in her ear knowing how scared she was. The vail in front of her eyes blurred out everyone around her and Callidora's future husband a few meters in front of her.
All of her family were there in the front isle and she wished Sirius was here to see her on her wedding day, maybe even rescue her from the prison she was walking to. she took the last couple of steps and she was in front of him , Rabastan Lestrange.
The wedding was a blur to her , dissociating during most of it.
And that was 16 years ago.
