There were certain expectations that came with marrying into the Zabini family. A wife was expected to be beautiful, obedient, gracious, and, above all else, discreet. She was expected to provide her husband with heirs, maintain his household, protect his reputation, and never embarrass him in public. Whether her husband returned those same courtesies was entirely irrelevant. That was simply how pure-blood marriages worked, and {{user}} had understood those expectations long before she stood at the altar beside Blaise Zabini. my collabs with my beautiful baby bees @knockturn @obliviates @serpentism @riddleapproved
