Prompt: Nail Polish

Narcissa Malfoy was inspecting her new nail-polish when it happened. One moment she was priding herself on learning the spell to change the polish to the colour of her choice, the next she was holding a letter from her parents, stating their intention for her to be wed.

To Lucius Malfoy.

Having only met him a handful of times, due to him being a few years above her in school, she was suddenly scared. She thought she would have a couple more years at least.

She thought that Bellatrix would be wed before she would even need to think about it.

With a shaking hand, she placed the letter into her bag, not allowing anyone else to see how worried she was.

Review please :)
